OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)
“The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on March 7, 2024, regarding concerns of a failure to notify OCCL of the center closing due to flooding and hazardous materials being accessible to the children. An investigation was conducted on March 12, 2024. This complaint is substantiated for failing to prevent children s access to hazardous materials because a box containing multiple bottles of liquor was seen on the floor of a storage area whose open door was next to a restroom used by children. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not following notification to OCCL of a closure because the center did not close. An additional concern noted at this visit was the school-age classroom was out of staff-to-child ratio due to 19 children being present with one staff member. Additionally, a second staff member was signed in to the school-age attendance record but was not present. Only eleven of the 19 children present were signed in on the child attendance records.”
