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.
“One infant lacked an infant feeding instructions.”
“Three out of six employee files evaluated lacked a pre employment affidavit on file.”
“The operation did not have a current fire inspection on file.”
“The children's product safety recall list had not been certified within the past year.”
“There is an opening on the playground between the ground and the lattice in which children may crawl through. In addition, one board on the walk way is detached and lifted up, posing a hazard.”
“Four out of six employee files evaluated lacked current SIDS/Shaken Baby training.”
“Based upon preponderance of evidence gathered it was determined that a caregiver used inappropriate discipline, by throwing a tablet, which resulted in a child being struck.”
“The employee list was last validated 9-3-24.”
“Children did not have drinking water available during outdoor play.”
“The operation failed to notify Child Care Regulation there was a change in director.”
“The gate on the playground had an opening large enough for a small child to fit through.”
“The operational policies lacked the criteria that will be used to determine if weather is appropriate for outdoor play.”
“The operational policies lacked information regarding children with special needs.”
“Purell sanitation wipes were observed on the ground in two bathrooms. Note: This was corrected when the wipes were stored out of the reach of the children.”
