Context

Patterns Worth Examining

A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.

  1. 1

    2.8 yr olds enrolled in preschool-authorization, Cited in Two Visits

    OEC licensing staff cited 19a-79-3a(l) in May 2025 and June 2026. The agency describes it this way: 2.8 yr olds enrolled in preschool-authorization. Connecticut does not publish a risk level for each violation. OEC does not publish when a violation was corrected, so it is worth asking what changed after each one.

  2. 2

    Personal qualities of staff, Cited in Two Visits

    OEC licensing staff cited 19a-79-4a(d)(3)(A-C) in December 2024 and December 2025. The agency describes it this way: Personal qualities of staff. Connecticut does not publish a risk level for each violation. OEC does not publish when a violation was corrected, so it is worth asking what changed after each one.

For Your Next Visit

Questions to Ask on Your Visit

Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.

  1. 01

    What changed after 19a-79-3a(l) was cited, and how do you check it now?

    2.8 yr olds enrolled in preschool-authorization: cited in two visits, with no risk level published.

  2. 02

    What changed after 19a-79-4a(d)(3)(A-C) was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Personal qualities of staff: cited in two visits, with no risk level published.

  3. 03

    What is the ratio in the room my child would join, and how is every child accounted for at nap time, pickup and on the playground?

    Ratios change through the day, so they are worth counting yourself on a visit.

  4. 04

    Has the center ever been referred for legal action or put on a corrective plan, and what changed afterward?

    OEC’s files list no enforcement action in this window.

Coverage

Record windowSeptember 1, 2011 – November 1, 2026

  • This record is OEC's list of active child care licenses as of November 2026, with the inspections, follow-up visits and investigations in OEC's files, which run from September 2011.
  • OEC's files give no correction date for a violation, so no violation in this record shows one; OEC's resolution of each inspection or investigation (a corrective action plan, a referral to its legal division) is kept with the visit.
  • Exempt child care centers (programs OEC records but does not license, such as those a public school runs) and youth camps are not in this record.
  • OEC's files give no county and no map point for a program.

What This Report Cannot Tell You

Correction dates
OEC's files record the violation cited, not when it was corrected.
Severity of violations
OEC's files do not grade violations.
Complaints not investigated
Complaints OEC screened out without an investigation are not published.
Staff qualifications and turnover
Not part of the published licensing record.

Historical coverage varies by agency and location. Missing records do not mean that no complaint or violation occurred.

Data architecture: Cierto supplies the source-backed machine-readable bundle. Life by Vardell independently creates the narrative, design, and consumer report.
