Violations
Text reproduced verbatim · Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Child Care RegulationNearly every licensed provider accumulates some. A missing signature and an unlocked medicine cabinet are both “violations”, and they are not the same thing. Look at the class, the pattern over time and how quickly it was corrected — not the count alone.
Class is our grouping of the state’s own weights, reviewed per state. The agency’s own label is always shown beside it.

“A child was left unsupervised in a classroom for approximately 7 minutes.”
“4 out of 10 employee's records reviewed did not have a TB test.”
“Lysol spray was on a shelf that was accessible to children. This was corrected at inspection when the caregiver moved the Lysol to an area that was not accessible to children.”
