Costs & planning tips
Budget ranges plus waitlist advice
Typical fees
- Infant care in Houston averages $800–$1,150 per month for full-time licensed center care. Toddler and preschool classrooms typically range from $650–$950. Home-based licensed care is generally 20–30% less than center-based rates.
- Texas does not cap daycare fees at providers, so rates vary widely by neighborhood. CCAP recipients pay a co-payment determined by income — contact your local Workforce Solutions office for an estimate before enrolling.
Waitlist & subsidy tips
- High-quality infant spots near the Medical Center and Energy Corridor fill 3–6 months in advance. Apply to several centers simultaneously and confirm your application monthly to stay active.
- When applying for CCAP assistance, have proof of income, employment or school enrollment, and your child's birth certificate ready. Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks.
Cost estimates are approximate and based on publicly available data. Fees, subsidy eligibility, and program availability change frequently — verify current details directly with providers and your local subsidy agency.
