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 2 month old infant was observed sleeping in a swing. Note: The caregiver removed the infant from the swing.”
“A pole in the back building was observed to be missing paint and exposing not only the sheet rock but a metal bracket.”
“The caregiver in charge did not have access to personnel and children files while the director was away. Note: It was discussed with the director that access must be given to the caregiver left in charge while both directors are out of the building.”
“Two childre's files have screen shots for their immunization record.”
“Two caregivers have affidavits that do not have a notary stamp on them.”
“The smoke detectors in the front of the building are beeping.”
“The loose fill has grass growing through out it and needs maintained to ensure it meets the required depth.”
“The loose fill is not at the required six inches according to the heigth of the climbing structure.”
“A board is broken in half and hanging loose on the hand rail to the ramp leading into the back building.”
“The staff files were not available during my inspection.”
“School age room: The cork board on the wall is peeling. The wall near the restroom is peeling. Ceiling Tiles are drooping in the restroom. The vent fan in the restroom is visibly dusty. The white shelf is missing a chunk of material on the top exposing a screw. Outside: On the play structure there is a broken support clamp. Paint is peeling on two of the hand rails used for the ladder part of the climbing structure.”
“The infant caregivers are using the hand washing sink to wash bottles as well as washing hands.”
“One child's file out of six reviewed is missing a completed immuniztion record.”
“A whole was observed in the wall in the toddler classroom. Paint was observed chipping and peeling in the pre-k and school age classrooms. The wood hand railing into the pre-k and school age building is split causing the wood to separate and pose a risk for splinters, lacerations, and possible entrapment. Note: Pictures were taken for the file.”
“The elctrical outlet cover is broken in the school age room. Note: A picture was taken for the file. This was corrected when the director replaced the cover.”
