Completed November 13, 2024 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On September 5, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of failing to provide an incident report within one business day and failing to notify parent or pick-up person of an injury before the child leaves for the day. An investigation was begun on September 13, 2024, and concluded on October 28, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for failing to provide an incident report within one business day, as an incident report was provided and signed dated September 5, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for failure to notify the family of a child injury because, although two staff stated in verbal interviews that they did not know of the bite until informed by Person #1, there is a signed injury report dated the date of the injury with first aid provided to the child. Staff #1 stated Person #1 was informed at pickup on September 4, 2024, there had been an injury to Child #1 and there was a report to be signed at the front desk. It is noted that the center copy and family copy of the accident report have different dates it was signed. Also noted is Administrator #1's statement staff were unaware of the bite mark until Person #1 notified them on September 4, 2024, but Staff #1 wrote in the injury report that Staff #1 provided basic first aid to Child #1 and recorded this in the accident report. There is apparently confusion among center staff regarding this incident, but all statements confirm the family was notified according to regulatory requirements.

Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on March 3, 2023, regarding inappropriate adult behavior, the presence of illegal drugs, lack of supervision, and the potential of an unknown male being present that has been identified as a registered sex offender. An unannounced visit was conducted on March 7, 2023, to investigate the complaint. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint because it was determined through interviews that Parent #1 was the only person engaging in the inappropriate behavior and drugs have never been seen or exchanged in the center. Additionally, there are no new staff members present that have not been fingerprinted and determined eligible by the Criminal History Unit in the facility and the children do not require escorts to the bathroom because the bathrooms are located in the classrooms.

An unannounced visit was conducted on March 7, 2023, to investigate the complaint. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint because the owner and staff members who were interviewed stated the incident had not occurred and Staff #2 was the staff member in charge of the day-to-day operations of the center when the administrator is not present.

Completed February 18, 2022 · Result: Substantiated
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On February 10, 2022, OCCL received a complaint alleging undocumented accident injuries, lack of supervision, and feeding infants cereal in bottles. An investigation was conducted on February 11, and February 14, 2022. There is no evidence to substantiate that an injury report was not provided because the center had a copy of the report on file and it was documented that Parent #1 refused to sign. This complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision because a child was observed licking juice off of the table without staff intervention, a child fed her snack to three other children without staff intervention, and a staff was not paying attention when a child attempted to bite a child's arm. The complaint is also substantiated for feeding infants cereal in bottles without a note from the child's health care provider.
