Texas gives every licensing standard one of five risk levels, from low to high, by how likely a deficiency is to harm a child.

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

1. 1

   Child/ Caregiver Ratio - 13 or More Children, Cited in Five Visits

   HHSC inspectors cited 746.1601 in May 2022, June 2022, September 2022, December 2022 and March 2024. The agency describes it this way: Child/ Caregiver Ratio - 13 or More Children. None rose above medium-high risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

   Citation 746.501(a)(18), Cited in Three Visits

   HHSC inspectors cited 746.501(a)(18) in May 2022, June 2022 and July 2023. The agency describes it this way: Written Operational Policies - Promotion of Physical Activity. None rose above medium risk. 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 changed after 746.1601 was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Child/ Caregiver Ratio - 13 or More Children: cited in five visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.

2. 02

   What changed after 746.501(a)(18) was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Citation 746.501(a)(18): cited in three visits, most seriously at medium risk.

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 under corrective or adverse action, and what changed afterward?

   HHSC’s files name no enforcement action in this window. They say whether a program is under corrective or adverse action, not what the action was.

Program details, licensing visits and the deficiencies cited at each are published by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Child Care Regulation in its daily files on data.texas.gov.

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.
