- More home-based programs than Texas as a whole. 35 of 101 programs here, 35% against 26% statewide. A home-based program is licensed or registered care in a family home rather than a center, and it takes far fewer children. Homes versus centers

Inspection record across Amarillo
Texas HHSC has recorded 1,180 citations against programs in Amarillo, of which 362 were classed High risk. The median program here has 27 citations on its record. A median describes the metro and judges no program in it: a center open fifteen years has been inspected far more often than one open two, so a longer record is as often a sign of age as of trouble. How we handle this data.

Smaller communities in Amarillo
7 programs sit in 1 smaller community. A place with only a handful of programs does not get its own page, because a page built on three records would be thin whatever was written on it. The programs are listed here instead, so each one is still one click from this page.
