Complaint investigations

All 5 complaint investigations in the state's file (which starts November 29, 2021), newest first, with the result and the state's summary as published. In the state's summaries, "IA" is the state's Institutional Abuse Unit.

  1. Completed January 21, 2026 · Result: Substantiated

    Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

    The state's summary (as published)

    The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on December 11, 2025, regarding a staff member revealing the middle finger with children present, a staff member wanting to fight a parent in the presence of children, a staff member vaping in the facility, a staff member using an illegal substance at the facility, and lack of positive behavior management. An investigation was conducted on December 15, 2025. The allegation of not modeling appropriate behavior is substantiated because staff stated in statements gathered by the facility that Staff #1 did use their middle finger while children were in care and was reprimanded for the incident. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint of vaping in the facility because the staff all denied that they vape in the facility and no vaping was observed or smelled at the time of the visit. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of consuming illegal substances at the facility because staff denied that any illegal substances are used at the facility and there was no evidence during the visit of use in the facility or staff presenting themselves as under the influence. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation that positive behavior management was not used in the classroom, as staff and children denied verbal or physical harm to the children. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation that Staff #1 wanted to fight at the facility while children were present because the staff member who viewed the video of the incident stated they did not interpret the staff member taking off their over shirt and placing it in their vehicle as a threat and that it is typical behavior for this staff member.

  2. Completed May 22, 2025 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate

    Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

    The state's summary (as published)

    The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on April 28, 2025, regarding positive behavior support and unqualified staff alone with children. An investigation was conducted on May 1, 2025, after clearance from other agencies was received. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of lack of positive behavior support because the staff and children stated that the only time a staff member raised their voice was for attention to directions when callbacks did not work, not for discipline. All staff and children stated they were not harmed by staff physically or verbally, and staff stated they have not received a parent or child complaint about staff harming a child. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of unqualified staff with children because the teen area is not required to be licensed with OCCL, and the attendance for the middle school classroom shows two staff members in the classroom.

    Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
