The state's summary (as published)
The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on June 16, 2026, regarding concerns of lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on July 1, 2026, which included interviews with Owner #1 and Administrator #1 and observation of the facility's restroom supervision practices. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint regarding lack of supervision. Information obtained during the investigation showed staff supervised children while they used the restroom from a designated location outside the restroom with the door open, allowing staff to observe the inside of the restroom and hear the children. While this interaction was not observed at the time it happened, staff interviewed recalled when Child #1 and Child #2 were in the restroom and stated they were supervising the restroom at the time. Staff interviewed stated Child #1 did not alert any staff this had occurred and did not appear upset.
