An employee was observed using a threatening tone and physically moving a child inappropriately. This was corrected by the center terminating the employee.”

OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)
“On February 20, 2024, a complaint was called into the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line and was accepted for investigation by the Institutional Abuse Unit (IAU) but was later abridged. It was sent to the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) on February 21, 2024, and accepted for improper discipline and not following mandated reporting requirements. An investigation was conducted on February 27, 2024. Based on interviews conducted, this complaint is substantiated for failing to follow mandated reporting requirements and for improper discipline. In late 2022, Staff #1 observed and informed Administrator White about Staff #2 s concerning interactions with children, but no report was made to the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line. However, based on an internal investigation, [name] placed Staff #2 on administrative leave, then terminated her employment on December 16, 2022. Staff #1 was required to re-take the Bright Horizons Mandated Reporting and Recognizing Abuse training.”

OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)
“The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on November 20, 2023, regarding lack of supervision and improper discipline. An investigation started on November 28, 2023, and ended on November 30, 2023. Based on interviews conducted this complaint is substantiated for improper discipline. Although the licensing specialist observed appropriate voice levels and positive redirection at the time of the visit, three staff interviewed confirmed Staff #5 does yell at the children. Based on interviews conducted, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of supervision. The specialist observed staff supervising children appropriately while engaging children at eye level, changing a diaper, and extending language development through play. The administrator stated she has no concerns regarding staff supervision of children.”
