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 January 20, 2026 · Result: Substantiated
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On December 11 and 12, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received two complaints regarding concerns of improper staff-to-child ratio, lack of supervision, and use of cell phones while caring for children. An unannounced visit was conducted on December 23, 2025. On January 6, 2026, a follow-up unannounced visit was conducted. This complaint is substantiated for improper staff-to-child ratio and exceeding maximum group size because upon arrival on December 11, 2025, there were 22 children ranging in age from infants to preschool-age gathered in one classroom. This complaint is also substantiated for use of cell phones while caring for children because two staff were observed using their phones upon OCCL's arrival to the classroom. While Administrator #1 stated she was unaware of group size requirements for mixed age groups, the center was cited for a nearly identical situation on December 18, 2023, and discussed with Administrator #1 at that time. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for concerns of lack of supervision due to staff leaving classrooms unattended. During both site visits, this was not observed. Additional concerns noted during this investigation include an infant sleeping in a car seat, children under two years of age being engaged in screen time, children being cared for in a space not approved for care, attendance records being unavailable and not showing proper transition tracking. Attendance records show infant children signed in prior to the arrival of staff in the classroom and a staff member without a DEEDS Early Learning qualification providing care to children alone. Attendance records submitted from the date of the first complaint investigation visit on December 23, 2025, did not reflect the children being moved to different classrooms; they showed 21 children combined until pickup.
Completed July 22, 2025 · 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 May 14, 2025, alleging inappropriate discipline and lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on May 30, 2025, which included an interview with Administrator #1, interviews with two staff members, and observations of the program and classrooms. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of supervision based on observations during the investigation and interviews, as all staff were actively supervising the children, and no staff members were observed using cell phones. All staff interviewed noted no cell phones were permitted while caring for children. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for improper discipline based on observation and interviews as staff were heard using positive redirection, and no raised voices or inappropriate disciplinary actions were observed during the visit. Staff interviewed noted no observation of improper discipline and denied using it

The state's summary (as published)
The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on July 13, 2023, regarding failure to follow diapering procedures and not following an open-door policy. An unannounced visit was conducted on July 18, 2023.

During the visit, children were observed freely using the bathroom. The owner and staff members all stated parents are welcome to enter the center at any time. LS Specialists observed a parent coming into the building to pick up her child during this visit.
