2. Completed June 10, 2025 · Result: Substantiated

   Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

   The state's summary (as published)

   On May 16, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of insufficient lighting in the two-year-old room at nap time, staff using cellphones while caring for children, dirty bathrooms, improper discipline due to staff hitting children, staff struggling with behavioral concerns, lack of supervision due to Staff #5 leaving a room unattended, child eating feces, Staff #1 present without a comprehensive background check, and the administrator not using respectful communication. An unannounced visit was conducted on May 21, 2025. This complaint is substantiated for insufficient lighting, dirty bathrooms, improper discipline, and lack of supervision. The two-year-old classroom was too dark to monitor children properly during nap time. The bathroom in the two-year-old and three-year-old classrooms was observed to be unsanitary. Two soiled pull-ups were observed on the floor next to the trash can, which did not have a lid on. There was liquid on the floor around two of the toilets, and two of the toilets were not operational. Soiled clothes were observed on the floor under a sink, one of the sinks was dirty, and pieces of wood trim were leaning against the walls posing a potential hazard for children. Administrator #1 noted there was a recent occurrence in which Staff #7 tapped a child, in which Staff #7 was written up and OCCL was provided with this documentation. Upon entering the facility, Staff #2 let OCCL in, then returned to their classroom, where a staff member had been left alone with six infants. Upon entry into the one-year-old classroom, there were 13 children present with two staff members. A staff member in the Pre-K classroom focused on cleaning tasks, leaving one staff to transition 24 children from lunch to restrooms to nap time. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for staff using cellphones, staff struggling with behavioral concerns, a child eating feces, a staff being present without a comprehensive background check, or the administrator not using respectful communication. All staff members interviewed noted cell phones are not permitted within the classrooms, and none were observed at the visit. All staff interviewed noted while there are children with difficult behaviors, they have a system of documentation in place and feel supported by administration. Attendance records review do not indicate any classrooms were left unattended or out of staff-to-child ratio during the altercation with Staff #4 and Staff #5. All staff interviewed denied witnessing or hearing about any children eating feces. Staff #1 was verified to be a staff member that has completed a comprehensive background check and is eligible. All staff interviewed stated Administrator #1 is respectful to both staff and families, noting she is straightforward but professional. Additional concerns noted at this visit include improper staff-to-child ratios in the one-year-old classroom during this visit, and one infant in confining equipment for over 30 minutes. Additional concerns include child attendance records being inaccurate in the infant classroom and staff attendance records being inaccurate in the infant classroom. Cribs and cots were not 18 apart in the infant classroom, two-year-old classroom, and four-year-old classroom. Lesson plans were either not posted or not current in most rooms, and two toilets were not functioning in the two-to-three-year-old classroom. The trash can in the Pre-K classroom needed to be cleaned. An additional concern was a one-year-old child did not have seating available for lunch and was eating on the floor in the classroom. A staff member also noted soap and water was not used during cleaning procedures for the bathrooms.

4. Completed January 7, 2025 · Result: Unsubstantiated

   Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

   The state's summary (as published)

   On November 26, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of not notifying the parent/guardian of an injury not providing an injury report, and lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on December 4, 2024. This complaint is unsubstantiated for not notifying the parent/guardian of an injury or not providing an injury report because LS #1 was provided with three illness reports for Child #1's loose stools on November 25, 2024. Parent #1 signed all three reports. LS #1 was provided with Child #1's accident report regarding falling down the playground slide on October 12, 2024. Staff #1 and Staff #3 were witnesses to the incident, and Parent #1 signed the accident report. According to Staff #1 and Administrator #1, this was the only incident regarding the slide. LS #1 collected Child #1's observation report regarding the biting incident on November 21, 2024. According to Administrator #1, Staff #1, and Facility Director #1, Parent #1 was notified of the bite but refused to sign the observation report. This complaint is unsubstantiated for lack of supervision because the staff present with Child #1 during two injuries witnessed and were aware of how Child #1 got hurt. Staff #1 noted when the bite occurred, the children were separated, and noted they sit with children who are known biters as often as possible to prevent further incidents.

5. Completed July 17, 2024 · Result: Substantiated

   Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

   The state's summary (as published)

   On June 14, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding concerns about not ensuring an interior space designated for children's use is available when the center is in operation and improper staff-to-child ratios in multiple classrooms. An investigation was conducted on June 25, 2024. This complaint is substantiated for improper staff-to-child ratios because two staff members interviewed stated classrooms do go over the ratio but stated it is corrected quickly. All classrooms were within proper staff-to-child ratios during the visit, and the attendance records on June 21, 2024, showed proper ratios. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for infants and toddlers crawling or walking in areas of the center not designated for children's use based on interviews with staff members. Staff stated some infants crawl towards the classroom door, but stated they never exit the classroom.

6. Completed June 18, 2024 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate

   Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

   The state's summary (as published)

   On May 22, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of lack of supervision, not using positive behavior and classroom management techniques, and having insufficient supplies in the three-year-old classroom. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of supervision because all staff stated they have never witnessed Child #1 leaving a classroom unattended and will intervene if Child #1 tries to escape. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because the center has recently begun implementing its behavior management policy to ensure behaviors are documented and parents are notified. All staff stated the classroom climate is improving based on the changes made thus far. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not having sufficient materials available for the children because sufficient supplies were observed in the three-year-old classroom.

7. Completed June 14, 2024 · Result: Unsubstantiated

   Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

   The state's summary (as published)

   On May 21, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding concerns about not notifying OCCL of an equipment breakdown including but not limited to a lack of working toilets. This complaint is unsubstantiated because although there were sinks in the center that were clogged on May 21, 2024, there were additional sinks within the same classroom that were able to be utilized by the children. This did not impact the availability of running water, working sinks, or working toilets, and would not require notification to OCCL or families. All bathroom sinks and toilets were in working condition at the time of the visit.

An investigation was started on January 18, 2023, and ended on January 31, 2023. Based on the documentation reviewed and interviews with staff, there is no evidence to substantiate the reported allegations. The center, including all bathrooms and diaper changing areas, appeared clean on January 30, 2023. A staff member confirmed a child ran out of the classroom once when a guardian arrived to pick up another child. However, the staff member knew the child had run out of the classroom, and she asked the guardian to bring the child back since she was the only staff member present in the classroom. Lesson plans were complete and met all requirements. Fingerprinting requirements were followed for all staff. No staff appeared to be under the influence of drugs.
