Little Texans was recognized at the Texas Workforce Commission’s (TWC) 27th Annual Texas Workforce Conference held Dec. 4 – Dec. 6, 2024, in Grapevine.

Little Texans Learning Center, located in Sulphur Springs Texas, opened in 1992. The child care provider has been an important part of the Sulphur Springs community for many years and a great partner for Workforce Solutions Northeast Texas. Little Texans has been a Texas Rising Star (TRS) provider and voted best daycare of Hopkins County. The director of the center, Ms. Remona Hynson, has 37 years of experience and 25 years with Little Texans and goes above and beyond to take care of her staff, so they are able to provide the highest quality care for children in Northeast Texas. Each morning Remona conducts wellness checks on each of her staff members to find out if there is anything she can do to help them better perform their jobs. She supports and motivates her staff by recognizing their strengths and diverse perspectives. She offers praise, and acknowledges those who go above and beyond expectations. Staff are allowed to express their concerns and ideas, while working collaboratively as a team. As a TRS provider, the center has participated in the Board’s quality improvement plans, which include upgrades to class curriculum, learning materials, and equipment for outdoor activities. Little Texans Learning Center is a great representative of the high quality child care providers in Texas, but also an outstanding employer that makes Northeast Texas a great place to live and work.
“Texas’ economy is strengthened by both employers and the workforce,” said TWC Chairman Bryan Daniel. “Partnerships between employers and the Texas workforce system continue to drive future success.”
