The state's summary (as published)
On April 15, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint regarding a lack of supervision, not being truthful to parents, not following diaper changing procedures, not providing an accident/injury report, unqualified staff, and not following their policy for notifying parents of an accident/injury. An investigation was conducted on April 23, 2025. Based on observations and interviews during the visit and a review of video footage, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for a lack of supervision because both staff were on the playground and engaged with the children. When a child fell, the video shows a staff member responded to the child within two seconds. Based on interviews conducted during the visit, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not being truthful to parents because all staff interviewed stated they did not see Child #1 fall, and they believed the blotches were caused by Child #1's face touching the mulch. The center called the parent back once they found out Child #1 had fallen and shared the video footage with the parent. Based on interviews conducted at the visit, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not following diaper changing procedures because all staff interviewed knew the correct procedure, and all diaper changing areas met DELACARE requirements. Based on interviews conducted and documentation reviewed at the visit, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not providing an accident/injury report because the parent was notified by telephone, by the app the center uses, and the center provided written documentation to the parent, but the parent refused to sign the accident/injury report. Based on interviews conducted and documentation reviewed during the visit, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for unqualified staff. LS #1 reviewed staff files and observed Staff #3 is determined eligible through a criminal background check and is never alone with children. Based on interviews conducted during the visit, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not following their policy for notifying parents of an accident/injury, because the center contacted the parent once they noticed the blotches on Child #1's face and then called again after further information was gathered and they realized Child #1 fell from the play structure.
