High risk Caregivers must supervise every child at all times: close enough to step in, and always aware of what each child is doing.
State rule 744.1205(a)(4) (rules for school-age programs): "Supervision ensures each child's safety, well-being, including physical proximity and auditory or visual awareness of each child's on going activity"
Inspector's note: There was not adequate supervision in the classroom when the caregiver did not see two children behaving inappropriately in the classroom.
Corrected Jul 14, 2026, verified by the state Jul 21, 2026. The inspector gave technical assistance (advice on how to comply).

What the risk levels mean
Texas gives every rule a weight from High to Low, based on the risk to children when it is broken. A citation is one rule found not met at one visit. How to read a Texas inspection report.
- High risk: breaking it can put a child in immediate danger (for example supervision, ratios, safe sleep, background checks, prohibited punishment).
- Medium-high risk: a real safety or health concern, but usually less immediate (for example hazards in a room, missing medical or allergy information, required training).
- Medium risk: important for health and safety over time (for example records, drills, equipment upkeep).
- Medium-low risk: mostly paperwork or reporting that supports safety.
- Low risk: administrative requirements with little direct risk to children.
