International, Inc. The company sends a representative to travel to each school to ensure the quality assurance and education is within the Kids R Kids guidelines. The school that I work for and I will particularly be addressing is Kids R Kids of Keller #45.
Organization

The owners of Kids R Kids of Keller are Steve and Missy Brown. They started this school on January 1, 2006 with only five teachers and forty-six children ages ranging from 6 months to
5 year olds.

Basic Legal Environment
There are many laws and processes that you must comply to in order to run a daycare center. On a government level “the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
Reconciliation Act requires states to spend no less than 4 percent of their CCDBG funds on
`quality-enhancing' activities. The federal government also requires states to certify that they have requirements to protect the health and safety' of children served by CCDBG providers.
States, however, are free to design the actual requirements that meet these aims.” (Clinton, 1997)
On the state level you must be licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective
Services (TDFPS) before actually opening up for business using commercial property.
According to the state laws before obtaining a license from the TDFPS Licensing Division Kids
R Kids had to be completely in compliance with these following standards:
