    Requirements during probation

    The condition regarding the children's files was not in compliance because there were six children's files that did not have the HHSC Form 7260 (checklist) that is required to show that the file was reviewed prior to the child's first day of care. Three of these children's files did not have the HHSC form 7260 completed at all. A new staff hired on 8/11/2025 did not have proof of orientation being provided within 7 days of being hired. **The children's files were corrected at inspection when the HHSC form was completed for the children and placed in the files. The orientation was corrected at inspection when it was completed during the inspection.

    The operation allowed children that are younger than five years of age to play at the side of the building in between the playground and the building as well as the area where drop off occurs for children during the late mornings. These areas are not fenced in and therefore, cannot be used for outdoor time by children that are younger than school age.
