Core rules are the rules the state identifies as carrying the greatest risk to children when they are not met; non-core rules cover the rest. Rule numbers in this sample are illustrative placeholders, not Georgia's actual rule numbers.

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

1. 1

   Staff-to-Child Ratios and Supervision, Cited in Four Visits

   Licensing staff cited CC-31 and CC-32 in February 2022, March 2023, June 2023 and February 2024. This rule covers how many children each adult may care for, by age group, and whether every child is watched at all times, including outdoors and during transitions. At least one of these citations was of a core rule. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

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

1. 01

   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?

   Staff-to-Child Ratios and Supervision: cited in four visits, including core-rule citations.

2. 02

   What led to the 2023 fine, and what would you want a family to know about it?

   A $1,000 fine was imposed August 14, 2023; it ended September 29, 2023.

3. 03

   What has changed here since the last licensing study on March 10, 2026?

   It recorded no citations. Ask when the next licensing visit is expected.

4. 04

   May we see your most recent licensing report, and will you walk us through it?

   Georgia publishes licensing visit reports. How a director talks about the latest one is worth hearing.

Licensing visit reports, complaint outcomes and enforcement actions are published by the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (Bright from the Start), which licenses and inspects childcare programs in the state.
