Completed November 24, 2025 · Result: Substantiated
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on October 13, 2025, regarding staff not receiving the staff handbook, staff not completing the orientation, outdoor area, indoor space, staff and child attendance, not keeping medications out of the children's reach, not keeping chemicals out of the children's reach, having chemicals in the labeled soap/water bottles instead of soap and water, not having paper towels for handwashing, not following meal pattern requirements, and allowing children to walk unsupervised to the bus without parent permission. An investigation was conducted on October 23, 2025. This complaint is substantiated because water bottles containing chemicals were labeled as soap and water, wires on the small playground were exposed, and the fence on the large playground did not have functioning self-closing and self-latching mechanisms. There is no evidence to substantiate staff not being oriented, staff not receiving a handbook, attendance records not being used, medications being stored in children's reach, unlocked cabinets with chemicals in children's reach, a child spraying chemicals in their face, inadequate portions sizes served at meals, and school-age children being unsupervised at the bus stop based on interviews and observations.
