Below is every visit in the state's files from November 18, 2023 to October 26, 2026, newest first: 51 visits and 36 citations in all, so the totals can be higher than the 3-year counts above.

Technical assistance means the inspector gave guidance on the rule. The state's file does not say whether the "correct-by" date is a deadline or the day the problem was fixed, so it can fall after the verified date or in the future.

Risk level: High · Correct-by date in the state file: July 24, 2026 · Correction verified: August 3, 2026 · Inspector gave guidance (technical assistance): Yes
Inspector's notes (as published)
Based on information obtained during the investigation, this minimum standard was found to be in deficient. A caregiver did not demonstrate good judgement when transitioning from outdoor play back to the classroom without completing a headcount or name to face check which caused a child to be left outside on the playground for 14 minutes unattended. Also, staff was aware of the incident and did not immediately report or confirm that administrative staff was aware. Multiple staff members assumed that another staff member reported the incident which delayed parent notification of the incident because administrative staff was not aware until closing time.

Risk level: High · Correct-by date in the state file: July 24, 2026 · Correction verified: August 3, 2026 · Inspector gave guidance (technical assistance): Yes
Inspector's notes (as published)
Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the minimum standard was determined to be deficient. The operation had implemented procedures requiring caregivers to contact administrative staff prior to taking children outside during periods of extreme heat or when a heat advisory was in effect. However, despite these procedures being in place, a caregiver was able to take a classroom of children outside without obtaining approval from administrative staff. As a result, a child was left unsupervised on the playground for approximately 14 minutes after the remainder of the classroom returned indoors. This incident demonstrated that the operation's implemented procedures were not effectively monitored or followed to ensure children were protected from potential risks associated with outdoor play during extreme weather conditions and that all children remained accounted for during transitions.
