7. Completed February 22, 2023 · Result: Substantiated

   Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

   The state's summary (as published)

   On January 25, 2023, the Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint regarding unqualified staff alone with children, incorrect staff-to-child ratios, safe sleep violations, infant care and feeding violations, providing false information to another agency, not following exclusion policy for illness, lack of supervision, and altering video documentation. An investigation was conducted on February 3, 2023. Based on the results of this investigation this complaint is substantiated for unqualified staff alone with children and staff-to-child ratios because attendance documentation from December 5, 2022, shows Staff #1 and Staff #3 were both left alone with children before being determined eligible by a comprehensive background check. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for infant safe sleep violations because the center administrator and Staff #2 both denied this, and the specialists observed the infant classroom and did not observe any safe sleep violations. There is no evidence to substantiate that the center does not follow its own exclusion policy for illness because the center administrator provided the specialists with copies of notifications sent home to parents regarding hand foot and mouth disease at the center. There is no evidence to substantiate there is not a trash can for diapers in the infant classroom because the specialists observed a diaper trash can in the infant classroom. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for infant feeding violations because the center administrator provided this specialist with copies of the signed monthly infant feeding schedules for each infant enrolled. There is no evidence to substantiate there is a lack of supervision in the indoor gym area because all staff interviewed denied this allegation. There is no evidence to substantiate the center alters video footage because all staff interviewed denied altering video footage. There is no evidence to substantiate the indoor gym is out of ra tio after 5:00 pm because the attendance records provided did not document children as present in the indoor gym, so the specialist was unable to determine if ratio was maintained. A concern noted was children and staff attendance records from February 2, 2023, were inaccurate because they do not show the classrooms combine in the indoor gym at the end of the day as stated by the staff.
