Jarrell · Licensed family home

Maria Palacios

What these mean, and where they come from

Full-size means licensed for 12 children, the most any Austin-area family home holds; 258 of Austin-area’s 291 licensed family homes are. Small is 5 to 11.

Shortlist doesn’t have these yet: cost, hours and late pickup, teaching approach, ratios and staff, a typical day, sick and biting policies.

What the state has found

This state publishes the visits that cited something but not the ones that cited nothing, so there is no city rate to set this beside.
