Brazos Valley Kidz Academy

During an investigation interview and watching video footage it was found a caregiver was withholding active play from a child in care.

While doing a walk through there were caregivers who did not know the ages of the children they were responsible for.

During the investigation it was found the operation did not notify parent of a child injury.

While reviewing video footage at the operation it was seen that children were not being supervised when a child was injured.

During the investigation, interviews with caregivers and children were conducted and there was sufficient evidence to show that caregivers yelled at the children in care.

It was determined throughout the course of the HHS investigation that the operation failed to report a child injury to Child Care Regulation within the 48 hours. The injury occurred on 11/28/22. The injury was not reported to Child Care Regulation until 12/2/22, exceeding the 48-hour time frame.

The incident injury report provided by the operation was incomplete. The second page of the incident report was not provided to Child Care Regulation reflecting the caregiver's/director's/parent's signatures.

It was found that a tracking system for singing children in an out was being completed daily, but not being completed correctly. The initials of the person signing in or out each child was missing. I spoke to the operation about what needs to be on the sign in/out sheet.

During the inspection it was found that 2 infant feeding forms were last updated on 10/4/21.
