Texas Rising Star
Texas Rising Star 4-star of a possible 4
A quality rating the state awards after an on-site assessment. Four stars is the highest.
In effect since March 10, 2025. From the state's provider report of July 14, 2026.
Where this is
A map of this address loads when you ask for it. Nothing is requested from the map host until then, so opening this page does not tell anyone which program you were reading about.
The pin is where the US Census geocoder placed this address. About one in eight is interpolated along a street rather than resolved to a building, so treat it as the right block rather than the right doorway. How we source this.
What inspectors checked
Texas HHSC records how many individual standards it evaluated in each area of the rules, and how many it found violated. Across 21 areas it checked 5,300 standards at Faith's First Steps Home Daycare between February 15, 2022 and September 30, 2026 and recorded 4 violations. Those correspond to the citations listed above that were recorded from 2021 onward; anything older than that is in the citation list but not in these counts.
The 21 areas, one by one

The table adds up to 5,296 of those standards. The remaining 4, including 0 of the violations, were recorded under the state's own catch-all heading, “Individual Standards Evaluated”, which names no area. They are reported here rather than folded into an area above, because the state did not say which area they belong to and we are not going to decide for it.
A high number of standards checked is not a compliment and a low one is not a criticism: how many apply depends on a program's size, its ages served and what the inspector was there to look at. We publish the two counts the state published and do not turn them into a score. This data begins in 2021, which is later than the inspection history above it.
Ask about an opening
This goes to Faith's First Steps Home Daycare and nobody else. They reply to you directly: we do not sit in the middle of it, and we never pass your details on or sell them.
Tell me about new inspections
One short message each time Texas HHSC records an inspection here, saying that it happened and linking to the record. We do not tell you what the inspector found: a finding without whether it was corrected is misleading, and that pair belongs on the page rather than split across an email.
We ask for nothing but the address, and we send a confirmation first. Your list is never shown to this program, never sold, and every message has a link to stop. An inspection is routine: programs are visited on a schedule and after a complaint, and a visit is not a finding.

747.4813(a)(3): Safety Requirements for Wading Pools - Stored So Do Not Hold Water
During a walk through of the play ground, a pool and fire pit were both observed with a body of standing water. This was corrected during the inspection when the provider dumped the water from the fire pit and the pool thrown away.

747.3501(1): Safety - Electrical Outlets Covered
During the walk through of the home, an electrical outlet did not have a protective cover. This was corrected at the inspection when the provider covered the outlet with a wall cover.

747.4105: Fenced Outdoor Activity Space
During a walk through of the playground, I observed a portion of the back gate that has damaged and no longer attached. There were boards with nails lying on the ground and accessible to the children. The back porch had electrical cords and lawn equipment out and accessible to the children. A safety plan was developed with the provider stating how the operation would be able to promote outdoors play while keeping the children safe outside. I also observed repairs to the gate being done.
- Medium January 23, 2023 Correction verified February 3, 2023
747.2321(a): Written Feeding Instructions - Signed and Dated by Parent or Health-Care Professional
During the inspection, two children's records did not have infant feeding instructions signed and dated by the parent.
Do you have a child enrolled here?
If Faith's First Steps Home Daycare confirms you are enrolled, you can tell us what you actually pay. We publish price ranges by city and age so other families know what to expect, and the only reliable source for that is people paying it.
There are no reviews on this site and we are not adding them. We publish the state's inspection record and facts families confirm, not opinions. Your address is never shown publicly; it goes to the program so they can confirm you, and nowhere else.
About this record
Every figure on this page comes from the Texas HHSC Child Care Regulation open data published at data.texas.gov, reproduced as the state recorded it. We do not grade, score or rank programs. A citation is a finding by a state inspector on a given day; it is not a judgment about a program today, and the correction status beside each one is part of the record. This page reflects data retrieved on November 8, 2026. Full methodology.
