Complaint investigations

All 6 complaint investigations in the state's file (which starts November 29, 2021), newest first, with the result and the state's summary as published.

1. Completed January 12, 2026 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate

   Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

   The state's summary (as published)

   On December 17, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint concerning the program failing to provide an injury report or communicate an injury to Child #1's family. An investigation was conducted on January 5, 2026. Based on the investigation, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint. Evidence indicated staff were unaware an injury occurring during program hours on December 11, 2025, as Child #1 wore a long-sleeved shirt and did not disclose or display signs of discomfort throughout the day. Once Parent #1 inquired with Staff #1 about said injuries on December 12, 2025, the program completed an injury report documenting the injuries and noting uncertainty regarding how the injury was sustained due to the lack of observed indicators. The injury report, signed by Parent #1, was provided to Licensing Specialist #1 during the investigation.

2. Completed July 2, 2025 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate

   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).

3. Completed May 27, 2025 · Result: Substantiated

   Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

   The state's summary (as published)

   On May 1, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint expressing concern over the program's failure to follow its own Parent Handbook policies regarding termination of care. An investigation was conducted via telephone on May 14, 2025, to investigate the complaint. Based on the findings, the complaint is substantiated. Although the program issued a letter to Parent #1 indicating the facility was giving five days notice of intent to terminate care if late pickups continued, the facility continued to allow the child to attend for several weeks, then terminated the child's enrollment immediately following one additional late pick-up. The parent handbook does not include a clear procedure for termination due to repeated late pickups and instead outlines the use of late fees as the consequence for such occurrences.

4. Completed February 12, 2024 · 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 January 5, 2024, regarding inappropriate music being played around the children, a change in the food service policy without adequate notice, inappropriate food portions, and tripping hazards on the playground. An investigation was conducted on January 11, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for inappropriate music, as the music observed being played was done so in the kitchen and did not contain inappropriate language. This music cannot be heard in the classrooms. There is no evidence to substantiate inadequate notice on a policy change, as it was observed the policy was not changed; a reminder regarding it was just posted within the center. There is no evidence to substantiate inadequate portions being served to children based on the posted menus, conversation with the administrator, and observation. There is no evidence to substantiate tripping hazards on the playground based on observation.

5. Older than 3 years (not counted in the summary above)

6. Completed August 15, 2023 · 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 July 20, 2023, regarding unqualified staff, incorrect staff-to-child ratios, and the administrator not being present the required number of hours. An investigation was conducted on July 25, 2023. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because all documentation reviewed and statements from the administrator and one staff member show the facility maintains staff-to-child ratio with qualified staff members, and the administrator is present the required number of hours weekly. All classrooms were within the correct staff-to-child ratio at this visit.

7. Completed September 20, 2022 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate with Concern

   Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint

   The state's summary (as published)

   On September 13, 2022, OCCL received a complaint alleging lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on September 15, 2022. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because video footage of the incident shows Staff #1 positioned well in the room and she appeared to be watching the children in care. Child #1 was playing in the dramatic play area, on the floor behind a shelf, when he became upset, came out of the area and climbed into Staff #1's lap. Staff #1 looked at Child #1 for an injury, seeing nothing apparent, she consoled him.
