Complaint investigations
All 2 complaint investigations in the state's file (which starts November 29, 2021), newest first, with the result and the state's summary as published.
Completed July 1, 2026 · Result: No Evidence to Substantiate
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On May 26, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of inadequate supervision resulting in children walking alone in hallways, improper staff-to-child ratios involving a classroom reportedly serving 17 children ages two through four years, staff use of personal cell phones during operating hours, use of cell phones for staff communication, insufficient systems for communicating children's needs to staff, and unlabeled cots in poor condition. An investigation was conducted on June 4, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint. During the investigation, children were not observed walking unsupervised in hallways, and staff interviewed reported such incidents do not occur. Staff interviews also did not support the allegation of a classroom serving 17 children ages two through four years, as all interviewed staff denied observing such conditions. Classrooms were within staff-to-child ratio during this visit. Interviews and attendance records provided showed the facility adhering to the correct staff to child ratio and their policy regarding staff cell-phone use, as Staff #2's employment was terminated due to cell phone use. All staff interviewed denied use of cell phones while responsible for caring for children, and no staff were observed using their phones during this visit. Regarding staff communication practices, staff reported utilizing walkie-talkies during operating hours and indicated new employees are paired with experienced staff members, and when necessary, Staff #1, to ensure communication regarding children's individual needs. Additionally, observations conducted during the full compliance review confirmed all cots were appropriately labeled for individual children and maintained in safe, good condition.
Completed June 23, 2026 · Result: Substantiated
Type (as published): OCCL Standards Complaint
The state's summary (as published)
On May 18, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint alleging non-compliance with staff-to-child ratio and maximum group size requirements in the opening classroom, the use of unqualified staff to supervise children, improper diapering practices due to the absence of a changing table, and failure to implement an appropriate activity schedule. An investigation was conducted on May 26, 2026. The complaint is substantiated regarding staff-to-child ratio requirements and diapering procedures. During the investigation, LS #1 observed Staff #2 supervising seven one-year-old children after an additional child arrived for care. The classroom exceeded the required staff-to-child ratio until Owner #1 relocated one child to the infant classroom, restoring compliance. In addition, diapering procedures were not implemented in accordance with regulations in the opening classroom as a soiled diaper was observed in a trash can not designated exclusively for diaper disposal nor was it foot-activated or have a lid, and no diapering procedure was posted. Staff #3 reported several two- and three-year-old children in the classroom remained in pull-ups and were not yet toilet trained. According to this information, a diaper changing table is not required. The allegations concerning unqualified staff and failure to follow an appropriate activity schedule are unsubstantiated. Records and observations confirmed all staff present were qualified as Early Childhood Teachers or Early Childhood Assistant Teachers. Observations also verified children were engaged in activities consistent with the posted daily schedule. Administrator #1 and Staff #10, who is trained in day-to-day operations, did not arrive until approximately 7:47 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., respectively. Due to staff absences, Staff #2 remained in the office supervising Child #1 and Child #2 until Administrator #1 arrived. Children should only be cared for in designated child care spaces.
