Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On March 9, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of failing to design effective positive behavioral supports or to make reasonable accommodations to comply with provisions in an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and to adapt behavior supports or other practices for a child who has a special need or disability, and unqualified staff alone with children. An investigation was conducted on March 10, 2026. After interviewing staff members and reviewing documentation and video footage, there is no evidence to substantiate for these allegations. The facility has been communicating with the family and making accommodations while requesting to change the transportation plan for a short period of time to allow time to further communicate with the family regarding supporting the child's needs. All staff who are alone with children are qualified.
Completed July 29, 2024 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On June 25, 2024, a report was received regarding improper discipline, incorrect ratios, lack of supervision, incorrect combining of ages of children, and not being truthful to a parent/guardian. An investigation was conducted on July 1, 2024. Based on the results of this investigation there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for improper discipline because video footage from June 21, 2024, shows Child #1 was scratched by another child. There is no evidence to substantiate the center was not truthful with a parent because Parent #2 was provided with a corrected accident report for the incident that occurred on June 21, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for incorrect ratios or lack of supervision because attendance records from June 21, 2024, and June 25, 2024, show that the classroom was in proper staff-to-child ratio, with children of appropriate ages, and did not exceed the maximum group size.
