Texas Premier Childcare At Amarillo Netplex

“Two of the ten children's files reviewed were not up to date on immunizations.”

“During the walk-through, one caregiver was not aware of the number of the children responsible for. The caregiver stated that there were 10 children present in the class but there were 11 children present. This was confirmed after the inspector counted the children with the caregiver present in the group and staff reported a child had been in the class for 10 minutes and was not counted. Additionally, another caregiver in another class, reported having 13 children in the group but there were 14 children present. The children in the group were re-counted with by the caregiver with the inspector and there were indeed 14 children in the group/class. One staff was not aware of the ages of the youngest child responsible for.”

“Based on video evidence a caregiver did not use good judgement or self-control when becoming frustrated and pushing a horseshoe shaped table towards a child to trap the child in the semicircle of the table, as means of correcting a behavior. Additionally, on two occasions she took a nap mat from a child and threw it across room.”

“The condition related to caregivers being given a pretest before the review begins and a posttest demonstrating knowledge of minimum standards after a member of the governing body reviews the discipline and guidance subchapter and the operations policies regarding discipline and guidance was not in compliance as not all caregivers had documentation of the pretest and posttest.”

“There were several children not signed out on the tracking system. The staff is initialing it with "st" they need to write the staff persons initials.”

“A child was left unattended for approximately. 7 minutes.”

“Based on evidence obtained during the investigation, a child was left on the playground by themselves for less than a minute. Due to this, the caregiver, nor any other operation staff, had auditory or visual awareness of the child's ongoing activities. This prevented the caregiver from being able to intervene had it been necessary.”

“There are multiple pieces of flooring in the 2's 1 classroom and in the 4's classroom that are sticking up and pose a tripping hazard.”

“Evidence obtained during the investigation supports the allegation that a caregiver did not use good judgment when they carried an infant to an area where a hot crock-pot was present causing the infant to be burned.”
