Completed August 1, 2025 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate with Concern
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On June 30, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint regarding not following the suspension policy, improper staff-to-child ratio, unqualified staff alone with children, lack of positive behavior supports, and soiled clothing. An investigation was conducted on July 7, 2025. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation regarding not following the suspension policy, as the facility had a behavior agreement signed by the parent. The facility handbook states that after receiving help, if a child continues to hurt others, they will be suspended for one day. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of improper staff-to-child ratio, as the attendance records observed for the week of June 16, 2025, were compliant and at the visit, all classrooms were following proper staff-to-child ratio. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of unqualified staff alone with children, as all staff were qualified or accompanied by qualified staff during the visit and based on attendance records. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of improper discipline because all the staff interviewed stated that they use mental health consultant techniques. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint of a child in soiled clothing because staff stated the child was refusing to change into clothing, and they had extra clothing at the facility if needed. Additional concerns were noted that exact departures for staff and children were not documented on attendance records, and no plan review was submitted to OCCL for the change in accessible area in two classrooms.
