Completed March 19, 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 February 29, 2024, regarding the presence of rodent feces in a cabinet and not following the health exclusion policies. An investigation was conducted on March 6, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for a rodent infestation because there was no evidence of rodent feces and the center has documented regular extermination/prevention treatments. There is no evidence to substantiate not following the health exclusion policies because documentation was provided indicating multiple children were sent home due to illness within the past several months and return doctor's notes were provided. Documentation was received verifying parents were informed via letter of a case of the flu in the center within the week prior to this investigation.
