Child Care Inspection Program
The City of North Richland Hills inspects child care centers and after-school programs. Foster home inspections are also performed upon request. City staff conducts health and safety inspections based on the Texas Minimum Standard Rules for Licensed Child Care Centers. These inspections are performed routinely and on a complaint basis. Persons who work in child care facilities must have a
Child Care Worker's Card.
