Daycare in Houston, TX (2026): 9 Centers Compared

Nine. Each one has a Texas HHSC operation number on the listing. Licensed capacity in this set runs from 150 at KinderCare at Halliburton to 279 at Lakewood Montessori. The Learning Experience is the center that does not list a school-age group. KAL does not have tuition, ratios, or inspection scores for any of the nine.

The state record uses group names, not ages in months. Eight centers list infant, toddler, pre-kindergarten, and school. The Learning Experience on Airline Drive lists infant, toddler, and pre-kindergarten only. KAL did not translate “infant” into a week range. If you need the center’s own cutoff, ask them and check it against the operation number.

Weekdays only. Primrose at the Galleria, Goddard, Children’s Lighthouse, and The Learning Experience list 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Kiddie Academy of Clear Lake, Lakewood Montessori, and Primrose Westchase list a 6:00 a.m. start. Gessner Kiddie Kollege lists 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. KinderCare at Halliburton lists 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. No Saturday hours are published.

From the Texas HHSC childcare operation record on data.texas.gov. Each listing can point at that operation id. A number means the state record includes that center. It does not mean KAL called the phone or walked the building. Last verified on these listings is November 2026. A quarterly recheck is still ahead.

No. The HHSC record KAL checked does not include tuition, and none of the nine centers show a price. A missing price is not a free seat. Ask the center for the current rate and for any registration fee. The listing still shows capacity, age groups, weekday hours, and the operation number for each center.
