Older than 3 years (not counted in the summary above)
Completed August 10, 2022 · Result: Substantiated
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
OCCL received a complaint on July 19, 2022, regarding improper discipline and not allowing additional servings of food. An investigation was conducted on August 5, 2022. This complaint is substantiated for improper discipline because one staff member confirmed children are yelled at, and another staff member gestured how a child was picked up by the shirt and placed in a chair. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of a child not receiving additional servings of food because staff stated the child had already had two hot dogs and wanted a third when others had not been given a second serving.
