  1. Completed November 10, 2026 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate

    Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

    The state's summary (as published)

    On October 1, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of not following accident/injury reporting procedures for a head injury and not following policies on termination of care. An investigation began on October 13, 2026, and ended on October 28, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint. Staff #1, Staff #2, and Staff #3 stated Staff #4 identified the mark on Child #1's forehead as a mosquito bite. Staff #3 stated no staff member noticed a bump on Child #1 so no accident or injury report was completed. Regarding termination of care, Administrator #1, Facility Director #1, and Staff #3 each stated a completed termination form was never submitted by Staff #4 and therefore could not have been torn up as alleged in the complaint. The parent contract signed by Staff #4 states the Director may decide to discontinue a child's attendance, and care for Child #1 was terminated on October 1, 2026, following an alleged statement regarding distrust in the facility to care for Child #1. Regarding the placement of Child #1 in the toddler room, Administrator #1, Staff #3, Staff #5, and Staff #6 stated infants are never mixed with children older than toddlers. Attendance records did show some infants were present in the one-year-old classroom on occasion, but staff-to-child ratio was maintained.

  2. Completed July 1, 2026 · 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 June 22, 2026, regarding concerns of operating over staff-to-child ratios and not using respectful communication amongst staff. An investigation was conducted on June 26, 2026. This complaint is substantiated for improper staff-to-child ratios based on staff interviews and review of attendance records. The opening classroom operated over the maximum ratio and group size for a room that has three-year-olds present. On June 22, 2026, there were 44 children present; on June 25, 2026, there were 39 children present, and on June 26, 2026, there were 41 children present. Additionally, review of attendance records showed the school-age classroom over staff-to-child ratio with 16 children present with one staff member on June 24, 2026, and June 25, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not using respectful communication among staff based on interviews conducted. Of seven staff members interviewed, five staff noted no concerns with administrative staff, stating they felt supported and had no concerns. One staff member stated they felt more support from one administrator over another, and another staff member stated they had a previous incident where they felt Administrator #1 was hostile, but it has since been resolved. An additional concern noted during this investigation was Staff #8 working alone in the four-year-old classroom during nap time without a DEEDS Early Learning certificate. Another concern noted is in addition to exceeding maximum staff-to-child ratio and maximum group size in the opening classroom, the facility also exceeded the maximum capacity for the measured space. This classroom is measured for only 18 children but had up to 44 children at one time based on attendance records and interviews.

An investigation was conducted on May 31, 2024. Based on the results of this investigation there is no evidence to substantiate Child #1's parents were not provided an injury report because all three staff who were interviewed stated they never observed marks on Child #1's arm. There is also no evidence to substantiate a lack of respectful communication because Staff #1 denied being rude to Parent #1 and hanging up the phone. There is no evidence to substantiate the center did not follow its policy on termination of care or handling parent complaints because all three staff who were interviewed stated Parent #1 and Parent #2 were notified care was being terminated because they screamed at Staff #1 and used vulgar language in front of children and other parents.

    Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

    The state's summary (as published)

    The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on January 18, 2023, regarding lack of supervision and staff not having an understanding of and respect for a child and their needs. An investigation was conducted on January 20, 2023. Based on the video footage of the incident, this complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision. A child entered the three-year-old classroom from the four-year-old classroom to gather his belongings for nap time, and neither of the two staff in the four-year-old classroom accompanied the child or informed the staff member in the three-year-old classroom that the child was coming over. The administrator and a staff member, who was in the four-year-old classroom when the incident happened, stated a staff member stood at the doorway to supervise the child as he gathered his belongings. However, the video footage did not show a staff member supervising the child at the doorway. If a staff member had been standing in the doorway, they would have seen the door close and heard the child's cries for help before the staff member in the three-year-old classroom heard him since she was in the kitchen area and unaware the child had entered the classroom. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of staff not having an understanding of and respect for a child and their needs because the staff member in the three-year-old classroom assisted the child as soon as she heard him asking for help.

    The state's summary (as published)

    On July 12, 2022, a complaint was called into the Child Abuse Report Line and not accepted for investigation by the Institutional Abuse Unit. The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received the complaint on July 12, 2022, and accepted it for investigation on July 13, 2022, regarding lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on July 15, 2022. This complaint is substantiated because two toddlers, ages one and two, were able to exit the outdoor play area unnoticed by two staff, and were observed by the reporter on the side of a high traffic road in front of the facility. One of the children ran into the middle of the road and the reporter brought the child over to the grass on the side of the road. The two staff received written warnings for lack of supervision. The facility implemented a new policy allowing only the administrative staff to open and close the gates in the outdoor play area, and to turn on/off the water hose.

    The state's summary (as published)

    On December 3, 2021, a report was made to the Child abuse Report Line. The Institutional Abuse Unit did not accept the report for investigation. OCCL accepted the complaint for investigation regarding lack of supervision. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because staff at the facility were supervising children on the playground and in the classroom. They were unaware of the mulch incident because they did not observe it and Child #1 did not complain. They responded promptly to the rough playing to prevent harm to Child #1.
