Beginnings & Beyond

In three classrooms, screen time was being utilized during lunch and nap time. This was corrected in each classroom when the screens were turned off and music was provided.

An annual sanitation inspection was not conducted for the current year. The last inspection was on 4/30/2025 expiring in 4/30/2026.

The operational policies did not include how a parent can access minimum standards online or the HHSC website.

Two caregivers did not have a high school diploma in their files

The transportation van did not have a full emergency plan that discussed supervision, contacting emegergency help, and vehicle evacuation.

The operational policies did not have suspension and expulsion procedures.

The operational policies did not include the required information for the promotion of physical activity such as duration, benefits, and setting.

In the transportation log/binder, each child had all the required information except the required emergency medical information.

The transportation van for the operation is not in good repair as the side doors the children enter into the vehicle can not be opened. The children have to enter through the front door or driver door to get seated. The backdoor of the van does not open due to operation logo and sticker. The backdoor is not utilized by the staff or children.

The operational policies did not include all the required information for abuse and neglect.

The transportation van that seats over 8 passengers was not equipted with a child safety alarm and was purchased in 2025.

Parent rights were not included in the operational policies.

I arrived at naptime and found nobody in the building who was not supervising a classroom of children.

I observed a multiple outlet box in the preschool classroom with 3 covers missing. This was corrected during the inspection when the covers were replaced.
