Medium-high risk Each caregiver must know the names and ages of the children they are responsible for.
State rule 746.1205(a)(3) (minimum standards for child-care centers): "Responsibilities of Caregivers - Know children's names and ages"
Inspector's note: The caregiver in the infant classroom provided incorrect ages for each child present in the classroom. The infant caregiver and school age caregiver provided ages for children who were not present during the inspection. Both caregivers had detailed rosters they could refer to that provides the children DOB and age. The age on the roster included years and months. This was corrected when the director instructed the caregiver to refer to their roster.

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.
