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.
“Evacuation and Relocation diagram was observed to not be posted in two classrooms. Corrected at Inspection: Evacuation and relocations diagrams were observed to be posted in both classrooms.”
“Two children records evaluated did not an address for the emergency contact. Corrected at Inspection: the operation was able to call the parents for the emergency address for the emergency contact.”
“Seat belt buckle was observed to be broken.”
“1 car seats used for transporting children were expired.”
“2 out of 3 vehicles used for transporting children did not have an electronic child safety alarm installed.”
“5 out of 5 caregiver's files checked did not have the required pre-employment affidavit.”
“2 booster seats used for transporting children were expired.”
“1 child did not have an immunization record on file at the operation.”
“4 out of 5 caregiver files reviewed had online CPR that did not meet minimum standards and include a hands-on portion with the mannequin.”
“2 infants weren't buckled into high chairs and one was not buckled into a bouncer.”
“One child with a diagnosed food allergy did not have a food allergy emergency plan on file at the operation.”
“During the inspection I observed, two caregivers alone in direct care of a children without an active background check on file.”
“During the walkthrough I observed 10 children in care unsupervised. The caregiver was in the front office when I arrived. The second caregiver was in the kitchen.”
“A caregiver did not exhibit good judgment when separating two children who were fighting over toys and putting one of them into a dark closet to speak to them and calm them down. The caregiver also did not exhibit good judgment when sitting the toddler aged child on a stack of cots in the closet as the child could have gotten injured by falling off or trying to get down. The caregiver did not think to call for assistance.”
“Information gathered in the investigation substantiated that a child was placed in a dark closet by a caregiver after separating the child from another child to speak to them and calm them down.”
“The Toddler room was too dark to count the children during naptime. NOTE: The deficiency was corrected with additional lighting turned on from a closet space.”
