The short answer
Record last released by Louisiana Department of Education on Oct 27, 2026.
Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.
What these words mean4
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
- Quality rating
- Many states rate child care in a quality rating system that goes past the licensing rules, such as Texas Rising Star or Kentucky All STARS. Taking part is often voluntary, so a program with no rating hasn’t been rated low. Source: Each state’s quality rating system.
- Licence status
- Whether the state’s licence lets the place operate now, in the state’s own words: licensed, on probation (allowed to keep operating on conditions, after problems), provisional, pending or expired. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.

What the record doesn’t say
- Each deficiency here is from the file of deficiencies the Department of Education sent in answer to a public records request, covering Jan 1, 2023 to Oct 19, 2026, as it wrote them. The file lists only deficiencies, so a visit that found none isn’t in it; the School Finder’s visits are listed below.
- The Department’s file doesn’t grade deficiencies by how serious they are. Its statements of deficiencies, the reports themselves, open from Louisiana’s own page for this provider.
- Louisiana lists only recent visits. In its words: “Inspection displayed on this page are the last 15 visits or last visits done within 3 years period of time.”
- Louisiana also says: “Inspections conducted before July 2024 that do not have deficiencies may not have an available Inspection Report.”
- Louisiana’s School Finder doesn’t show owners, staffing levels or enforcement actions for individual providers.
