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.

Provisional Status for Child Care Purposes
The inspectors’ words, 102 words
“1811.A.&B.: Based on record review and interviews at 11 a.m., S1 failed to provide documentation of a CCCBC-based determination of eligibility for S8. The Specialist observed S8 in the classroom with seven 2-year olds. S8’s CCCBC showed “In Progress”, and had not yet received a provisional or eligible status in the CCCBC system prior to being present in the childcare facility. S1 stated she thought S8 could be present at the center since she completed her fingerprints and was unaware her CCCBC status had to show “provisional” before being present at the center. S8 left the center prior to the Specialist’s departure.”

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.
