Texas Rising Star
Texas Rising Star, suspended
The state records this program’s rating as suspended. Ask the program about it.
In effect since August 8, 2026. From the state's provider report of August 21, 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 22 areas it checked 4,391 standards at Kids R Kids of Lakeshore between November 18, 2023 and October 26, 2026 and recorded 36 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 22 areas, one by one

| Pools | 4 | 108 | 0 |
| Fire safety | 4 | 270 | 1 |
| Transportation | 3 | 147 | 1 |
The table adds up to 4,276 of those standards. The remaining 115, including 25 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 Kids R Kids of Lakeshore 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.
State inspection record
HHSC records 51 visits to this operation since October 2017, most recently on October 26, 2026, and 36 citations.
2 of those visits began with Kids R Kids of Lakeshore reporting something to the state itself rather than HHSC finding it. We publish that because it is part of the record and the state records it separately, not because it is good or bad: a program with none may have had nothing to report. 3,674 of the 12,933 programs listed here have at least one.

746.1201(1): Responsibilities of Employees and Caregivers -Demonstrate Competency, Good Judgment, Self-control
Based on information obtained during the investigation, this minimum standard was found to be in deficient. A caregiver did not demonstrate good judgement when transitioning from outdoor play back to the classroom without completing a headcount or name to face check which caused a child to be left outside on the playground for 14 minutes unattended. Also, staff was aware of the incident and did not immediately report or confirm that administrative staff was aware. Multiple staff members assumed that another staff member reported the incident which delayed parent notification of the incident because administrative staff was not aware until closing time.

746.1205(a)(4): Supervision ensures each child?s safety, well-being, including physical proximity and auditory or visual awareness of each child?s on going activity
Based on information obtained during the investigation, this minimum standard was found to be in deficient. A child was left unattended on the playground for 14 minutes and was located by a caregiver of another class during their transition to outdoor play.

746.1003(4): Director Responsibilities - Employees Supervised
Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the minimum standard was determined to be deficient. The operation had implemented procedures requiring caregivers to contact administrative staff prior to taking children outside during periods of extreme heat or when a heat advisory was in effect. However, despite these procedures being in place, a caregiver was able to take a classroom of children outside without obtaining approval from administrative staff. As a result, a child was left unsupervised on the playground for approximately 14 minutes after the remainder of the classroom returned indoors. This incident demonstrated that the operation?s implemented procedures were not effectively monitored or followed to ensure children were protected from potential risks associated with outdoor play during extreme weather conditions and that all children remained accounted for during transitions.

The director failed to ensure the operation maintained compliance by not acting proactively or efficiently to ensure the child received approved nutritional substitutions identified by the parent on the infant feeding instruction sheet, which listed other foods the child was able to consume in addition to milk. The director also failed to ensure the parent and/or emergency contact were contacted, and in a timely manner. Additionally, communication between the director and staff was not clear and concise, resulting in the child not being provided approved food substitutions and going without eating.

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.
