Connecticut’s Office of Early Childhood publishes each violation it cites, not a risk level for it.

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

1. 1

   Professional development, Cited in Two Visits

   OEC licensing staff cited 19a-79-4a(a)(2), (h)(1-2) in September 2026 and October 2026. The agency describes it this way: Professional development. 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

   Individual care plan- signed by parents/staff, Cited in Two Visits

   OEC licensing staff cited 19a-79-5a(a)(2)(E) in September 2026 and October 2026. The agency describes it this way: Individual care plan- signed by parents/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.

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-79-4a(a)(2), (h)(1-2) was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Professional development: cited in two visits, with no risk level published.

2. 02

   What changed after 19a-79-5a(a)(2)(E) was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Individual care plan- signed by parents/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.

Program details, inspections, investigations and the violations cited at each are published by the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood's Division of Licensing in its daily files on data.ct.gov.
