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 caregiver that does not have valid CPR or Pediatric first aid with rescue breathing was in the pre-k classroom alone supervising children. This was corrected at inspection when another caregiver with valid CPR stepped into the classroom bringing the operation into compliance.”
“The small outdoor play area contains goat head stickers and tall grass.”
“The operation had not conducted a fire drill since October 30, 2025. The operation conducted a fire drill during the inspection and documented it, bringing the operation into compliance.”
“A water hose was unwound in the walk way to the outdoor area causing a possible tripping hazard. This was corrected at inspection when the water hose was removed bringing the operation into compliance.”
“2 caregivers were lacking training in required topics.”
“Two caregiver files reviewed did not have current first aid and CPR certifications.”
“The operation has a daily and monthly checklist however they are not utlizing this and keeping documentation of this. The last checlist for buildiing, grounds and playground was completed in October 2023. This was corrected at inpection when Director completed a thorough walk through of the operation and documented this using the building and grounds checklist.”
“When I arrived two classes were combined together waking up from naptime. The youngest child was 15 months old and the oldest child was 5 years old.”
“The operation was utilizing a daily grounds checklist but has not utilized this since July 12, 2023.”
“A 7-month-old infant was was observed sleeping in a crib with a blanket and intant toys. This was corrected when the blanket and toys were removed during this inspection.”
“The toilets had dried urine around the base, there was no toilet paper in the bathrooms, the sinks were dirty.”
“The daily sign in sheets shows 5 children in the toddler group, and 7 on the preschool class. There were only a total of 11 children in care. The sign in sheets for the 13th were missing for the preschool class.”
“During this investigation, it was determined that the operation is routinely exceeding the room capacity of 7 children. This was corrected during inspection dated 4-6-23, when the operation was advised of the rules regarding room capacity.”
“The operation did not have a policy in place that all caregivers knew and were following for taking children outside based on weather conditions. Therefore, children were not being provided proper outdoor play opportunities as shown on the activity plans.”
“A tv was on a shelf in a classroom and was not achcored. This was fixed during the inspection when the tv was removed from the classroom.”
“During the investigation it was determined that the operation had a caregiver providing unsupervised care while the caregiver has provisional conditions attached to the background check.”
“Based on observations and interviews with staff, activity plans are not being followed.”
“A caregiver did not have a high school diploma, GED or certificate of completion. This was cited under 746.201(9). The caregiver was sent home pending completion of this requirement.”
“It was determined that 2 school aged children, who are homeschooled are at the operation daily, and are allowed to be in the school age classroom unsupervised on a regular basis.”
“Based on records reviewed, staff's pre-service training did not meet the requirements of mimimum standards. What training was provided, was presented by a person not qualified to present the training per 746.1317.”
“As a result of this investigation, it was determined the operation knowingly hired an employee as a caregiver who did not have a high school diploma or GED as required in 746.1107, and allowed the employee to perform caregiver duties with and without supervision of a qualified caregiver. The operation created a high school diploma in the caregivers name to keep in the file in an attempt to satisfy standard 746.1107 pending the caregiver meeting standard 746.1107 at a later date.”
