source: Texas HHSC CCR verify - Critical
Children were redirected inappropriately by two different caregivers during at least two separate incidents. A child was also left alone on the playground for a few seconds before another caregiver stepped in. The operation did not notify the parents of any of these incidents yet felt strongly enough to reprimand or address the issues with the caregivers. This demonstrates a pattern for a lack of good judgement.
