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 746.1309(e) was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Documented Annual Training- Required Content: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium risk.

  2. 02

    What changed after 746.3415(4) was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Employee Handwashing After Diapering a Child: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.

  3. 03

    What changed after 746.3417(3) was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Children Handwashing After Toileting or Diapering: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.

  4. 04

    What changed after 746.3505(e) was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Diapering Procedures - Sanitizing Diaper Changing Area: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.

  5. 05

    What changed after 746.603(a)(4) was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Children's Records - Immunizations: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium risk.

  6. 06

    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.

  7. 07

    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.

Coverage

Record windowNovember 1, 2021 – October 31, 2026

  • This record is HHSC's list of operations as of October 2026, with the inspections, investigations and assessments in HHSC's files, which run from November 2021.
  • Listed family homes (one caregiver with up to three unrelated children, listed with HHSC but not inspected on a schedule) are not in this record.
  • HHSC's narrative for each deficiency is left out because it can name children, parents and staff; the rule cited, its risk level and the correction dates are kept.

What This Report Cannot Tell You

Inspector narratives
Published by HHSC but left out of this record because they can name people.
Enforcement actions
HHSC's files say whether an operation is under corrective or adverse action, not what the action was.
