I'm trying to find this in my standards but can't for some reason. Does anyone in Texas know. Is it 10 or 11?
Maximum Number of Hours Children can Stay in Care in TX?

Since I know you are registered childcare provider, you only can keep 6 kids including your own. You may watch 12 kids but you would need to hire an assistant with you full time. Hope it helps.- Flag

Sorry my question was a bit confusing. I was actually asking about the # of maximum hours they could stay each day. I have 6 kiddos but have one that wanted to extend hours of care to 11 hours a day and I thought we were only allowed to watch children a max of 10hrs a day.- Flag

Hey Twinmama...the actual number of hours in care is 12. My former center was opened from 630-630 and we actually had some kids who were there that long.
Whether or not its true but I asked my former director once what would happen if a child was there at 630 and was picked up late such as 640? Of course it has happened but we never did anything. I just wanted to know. My former director made the comment that we could report the parent for neglect because it was over 12 hours.
On a side note in a licensed center a worker can not work more than 10 hours a day in care. Even with a break.
If you have anymore questions, please ask...I am in TX myself!- Flag

I knkow of several in home and centers around where I live have it in their contract- maximum 50 hrs. allowed per week. I have several friends that have a max. of 45 hrs. work and commute times, anything above this is considered OT. I think they each charge $10.00 per hr. afterwards.- Flag

Sounds like you'd be better off with a Nanny.- Flag

Possibly look into a daycare with longer hours, and explain your work situation. As long as they are only in daycare the 3 days that you are working, it shouldn't be an issue if you can find one that is open that many hours. Your best bet may be to find a private provider who would come to your home, or watch just your children from their home. Good luck with your situation.- Flag
