Completed August 12, 2026 · Result: Substantiated
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
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 July 29, 2026 · Result: Substantiated
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On June 26, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received three complaints from the same reporter regarding allegations of administration of medication requirements, lack of supervision, not having a designated, qualified person in charge in the absence of the administrator, incomplete child file information, transportation regulations, positive behavior supports, disrespectful communication by staff, and failing to meeting the needs of children. An investigation began on June 29, 2026, and concluded on July 6, 2026. Based on interviews with the director and staff, and a review of child files, this complaint is substantiated for incomplete child files and for not following the requirements for administering medication to children because Child #1's file did not contain a completed Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the medication that three staff members who were interviewed stated had been administered to Child #1 on June 17, 2026. Child #1 was administered duplicate doses of an over-the-counter medication without an accompanying MAR and not in its original packaging. This complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision because Licensing Specialist #1 observed video footage from multiple dates, showing a child alone in a hallway without a staff member supervising. This complaint is substantiated for staff not meeting the needs of children because all staff interviewed stated they had observed staff members picking up and moving children on cots while they were sleeping. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for failing to have a qualified person in charge in the absence of the administrator because the center notified OCCL of the former administrator's resignation within the required timeframe and they are currently searching for a permanent replacement. Based on interviews and a review of documentation there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for failing to meet transportation regulations, failing to use positive beh avior supports, or disrespectful communication by staff.
Completed April 21, 2026 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate with Concern
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On March 26, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of incorrect staff-to-child ratio, staff failing to follow diapering and soiled clothing procedures, using inappropriate behavior supports, and failure to report suspected abuse or neglect of a child. An investigation began on March 30, 2026, and concluded on April 13, 2026. After interviews with the administrator, interviews with staff, and a review of attendance records, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for incorrect staff-to-child ratio, staff failing to follow diapering and soiled clothing procedures, using inappropriate behavior supports, or failure to report suspected abuse or neglect of a child. Although one staff member stated they heard another staff member telling a child they could earn their food back tomorrow, the administrator and five other staff all stated they had no knowledge of this occurring. An additional concern noted was staff attendance record documentation was incorrect.

Completed September 30, 2022 · Result: Substantiated
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

On September 23, 2022, OCCL received a complaint regarding a child being improperly released by the center. An investigation was conducted on September 28, 2022. Based on the results of this investigation this complaint is substantiated because the center administrator admitted Child #1 was released to a person who was not on the authorized pick-up list.
Completed March 8, 2022 · Result: Substantiated
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On February 17, 2022, OCCL received a complaint regarding lack of supervision, transporting children without use of seatbelts, and not orientating staff to their assigned duties. An investigation began on February 23, 2022, and concluded March 10, 2022. Based on the results of this investigation this complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision because the center administrator and Staff #2 both stated Child #1 was left unattended in the van. Other concerns include Staff #1 working with children before receiving a comprehensive background check and Staff #1 did not receive a documented orientation to the job as the van aide and Child #1 was not in a booster while being transported by the center. There is no evidence to substantiate that children do not wear seatbelts on the bus because both staff who were interviewed stated the children always wear seatbelts on the van.
Completed February 9, 2022 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On January 20, 2022, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding possible lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on January 31, 2021. Based on the results of this investigation there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because all three staff members denied observing any staff instruct children to go in the bathroom and stay there. Also, the staff that were interviewed stated the children cannot go into the bathroom together, except to wash their hands, because there is only one toilet in each bathroom.
