Completed January 8, 2025 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on November 21, 2024, regarding concerns about a child being fed food they were allergic to and concerns of respectful communication with families. An investigation was conducted on December 2, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not following precautions for allergies based on viewing documentation, viewing postings in the center, and an interview with Administrator #1. Administrator #1 stated Child #1 did not receive cake, which they are allergic to. LS #1 observed a picture that was sent to Parent #1. In this picture, Child #1 is sitting at the table and does not have a plate of cake in front of him, but the other children do. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of respectful communication with families based on interviews with Administrator #1 and Staff #1. Both interviewees noted they requested a conference with Parent #1 due to Parent #1's behavior in the center, and when reminded by Staff #1 of the need for a conference, they stated Parent #1 became upset and not respectful in the center. Administrator #1 stated Parent #1 was then asked to pick up Child #1 for the day pending a conference, and Parent #1 has not returned to the center since picking up.
