- 150 children, its licensed capacity
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.
- 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.
- Capacity
- The most people the licence or certification lets the place care for at once: residents, children, beds or apartments, as the state counts them. It isn’t how many are there now. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.

Repeat violation
The inspectors’ words, 429 words
“Based on a review of documentation, video footage, and interview, the center did not ensure that when staff are supervising children, they always ensure their care and protection. Evidence: 1. On 8/5/2024, the department received a self report stating that on 8/2/2024, child #1 (age 6) was left unsupervised on a bus for approximately four minutes after the school age children and staff returned from a field trip. In interview, staff #1 stated that two buses that were transporting 15 children arrived at the side entrance of the center to unload. Staff #1 was riding on the bus driven by staff #2. Staff #1 unloaded her bus first, and then proceeded to unload the second bus that did not have an additional staff member aside from the driver. Prior to unloading the second bus, a child reported that there was a child that had fallen asleep on their bus. Staff #1 stated that before she could check, the buses had left to park in the front of the building. She stated she conducted a quick headcount and believed she had 15 children and the child had returned. She then took the children into the hallway towards the main front lobby to use the restrooms. She reported that while conducting another headcount she determined that child #1 was missing. Within moments, she saw child #1 approach the front doors and let him in the building. She stated that the child reported he was sleeping and was left on the bus. 2. In interview, staff #2 stated that when she parked the bus, she did not hear or see child #1. She stated that she did walk the bus, but was not sure if she walked all the way to the back. Once she returned to the building, she went to the two year old classroom and was not aware that child #1 had been left on the bus. In video footage, teacher #2 was observed leaving the bus and walking across the parking lot to the center. Approximately four minutes later, child #1 is observed opening the doors and running across the parking lot to the front doors where staff #1 saw him and let him in the building. The distance between the parked bus and where staff #1 was reportedly standing when she saw him measured approximately 90 feet. In interview, both staff #1 and staff #2 stated it was a very hot day. The weather reports indicated the temperature at the time exceeded 90 degrees. 3. Administration acknowledged that child #1 was not appropriately cared for and protected.”

The standards require the center to have a procedure for identifying where attending children are at all times, including procedures to ensure that all children are accounted for before leaving a field trip site and upon return to the center. In interview, administration identified a name to face procedure in the handbook. The policy states that each time the class enters or exits through any door in the building, a name to face check must be completed on the Check In/Out Sheet BEFORE entrance or exit. The handbook states that staff are not permitted to exit the vehicle if students are aboard. The handbook also contained a policy that upon arriving to the center from a trip, the driver must 1. call the center to request a MANAGER for a bus sweep. If a manager is unavailable, a staff may be sent as a designee. 2. Walk to the back of the bus to ensure that all children are awake and alert. Only drivers can push the red safety button, and under no circumstances can a child push the red safety button. 3. With a Manager or Staff Member present, use the check on/off list to exit the bus. Name to face recognition must be used. 4. After all students have exited the bus a manager, staff member or driver will verify that all children have been removed by walking to the back of the bus. The Manager or designee will also confirm that all children not checked on and off are absent and a confirmation call has been made to the parent if parent communication has not already been made. Manager/Designee initials required. 2. In interview, staff #1 and staff #2 acknowledged that they did not conduct a name to face before the children entered the building from the bus and acknowledged that the staff exited the vehicle with the child unknowingly left aboard. Administration stated that they were not called to perform a bus sweep. 3. Administration acknowledged that the center’s written procedures were not followed.”
