Completed July 3, 2025 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On May 30, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding failing to follow their policy for accepting and handling complaints from the parent or guardian, failing to follow their policy for suspension and expulsion, unqualified staff supervising children, insufficient staff, failing to follow diapering regulations, and failing to follow infant feeding regulations. On June 4, 2025, an investigation was conducted. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for these allegations. After interviews with administration, staff members, and a review of documentation, the classrooms had sufficient staffing with qualified staff members who followed infant feeding and diapering regulations. Documentation which was provided confirms the owner, administration, and staff members handled complaints appropriately and followed the policies of both the center and Purchase of Care for termination of care.
Completed December 1, 2023 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on November 7, 2023, regarding the failure of a staff member to meet a child from the bus stop and escort them to the center. An investigation was conducted on November 8, 2023. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because documentation was received verifying a designated staff member was at the appointed location prior to the scheduled drop-off time. The facility provided documentation showing notification from the bus driver after Child #1 had already been returned to their elementary school that the bus had been parked on the next block due to not finding a parking spot at the designated stop. The facility did not receive notification from the bus driver in a timely manner to determine the bus was parked elsewhere.
