The state's summary (as published)
On August 5, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding concerns the program was frequently operating outside of required staff-to-child ratios, experiencing excessive wait times when requesting restroom coverage, and concerns about rodent infestation. An investigation was conducted on August 11, 2026. Based on the investigation, there is no evidence to substantiate the complaint regarding improper staff-to-child ratio. Licensing Specialist (LS) #1 conducted a facility tour and observed all classrooms operating within required ratios. LS #1 interviewed seven staff members during the facility tour, and all seven staff members reported ratio compliance had not been a recent concern. Staff #4 reported classrooms may occasionally reach the maximum permitted ratio during child arrival periods; however, staff contact the front office when additional coverage is required, and the administrative team responds promptly. Administrator #1 reported the program currently maintains floating staff and additional administrative coverage to address changes in classroom enrollment, staff absences, breaks, and other staffing needs. LS #1 reviewed classroom attendance records for the week of August 3 through August 7, 2026. Documentation reflected adequate staffing coverage throughout the reviewed period and did not identify classrooms operating outside of required staff-to-child ratios. There is also no evidence to substantiate the complaint for the allegations of excessive wait times for restroom coverage. All seven staff interviewed consistently reported they had not experienced difficulty obtaining coverage when requesting a restroom break. Staff reported contacting the front office when coverage is needed and receiving assistance from floating staff or members of the administrative team. Administrator #1 also reported no current concerns or complaints regarding restroom coverage. There was no evidence to substantiate a rodent in festation within the building based on observation of multiple classrooms and interviews with Administrator #1 and three staff members.
