The state's summary of this complaint may name a person, so we don't show it here. It's in the state's published file (see Sources).
Completed May 23, 2024 · Result: Substantiated
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On April 24, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint regarding improper discipline, the center and bus being cluttered and not clean, and a staff member smoking on the premises. An investigation was conducted on April 30, 2024. This complaint is substantiated for improper discipline because while the Administrator denies hitting a child, he acknowledged he said a child was acting like a dummy. This complaint is substantiated for being cluttered indoors and outdoors. Piles of papers were observed on the stove in the kitchen, a fluorescent light bulb was on the table in the toddler room, and the bus used to transport children had seats in extreme disrepair with excessive trash on the floor. This complaint is substantiated for smoking on the premises because a used cigarette receptacle and a discarded cigarette butt were observed on the front sidewalk. Additional concerns noted were a diaper changing table without a sink within five feet and an expired bus registration.

There is no evidence to substantiate the erratic driving allegation because Staff #1 stated she does not drive erratically and there is no evidence to support the claim.
