      OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)

      “On November 12, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding sanitation, insect and rodent infestation, fall zones, unqualified staff, lack of supervision, not changing soiled clothing, and positive behavior supports. An investigation was conducted on November 12, 2024. This complaint is substantiated for non-compliant fall zones, unqualified staff alone with children, and a lack of supervision because during the walk-through and interviews, two unqualified staff were observed alone with children in the two-year-old classroom. According to staff interviewed, it was also determined a child, Child #1, was able to exit the playground through a broken gate and walk, unsupervised, back to the center in September. While conducting interviews in the outdoor play area, it was observed the mulch was not nine inches deep, as required, in all fall zones. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation the staff left a child to nap in urine-soaked clothing as an act of discipline. Administrator #1 denied this allegation stating she was tending to three other children when the child soiled herself. Approximately 10 minutes later, another staff person entered the room and changed the child. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation the center is unsanitary, and the toys are not clean. During the walk-through, the conditions were sanitary. Toys and floors were well-maintained and not visibly dirty. Cleaning materials, including sanitizers, were also observed. In addition, there were no holes observed in the walls. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation the center is infested with rodents and roaches. All staff interviewed stated there was an issue in the past with mice, but an exterminator came in to treat and it has not been an issue since.”

      “On September 23, 2024, and September 25, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received complaints regarding improper staff-to-child ratio. An investigation was conducted on October 1, 2024. This complaint is substantiated because according to attendance records on September 23, 2024, the two-year-old classroom was over ratio and maximum group size with up to 21 children ages two and three with two staff. Additionally, the attendance records show the three-year-old children were combined with the two-year old children in the two-year-old classroom for eight of the ten days reviewed. An additional concern noted was an unqualified staff member with a provisional eligibility determination, pending an out-of-state-background check, was alone with the children. A separate attendance record was not available for the movement room at the end of the day when the classrooms combine. Attendance records also show staff not signing out of classrooms and children not being signed out at the end of the day.”

      OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)

      “On September 5, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding not providing a parent handbook, incomplete child files, child attendance, not having lesson plans, and food allergies. An investigation was conducted on September 12, 2024. This complaint is substantiated because Administrator #1 stated a parent handbook was not provided to every family upon the enrollment of their child. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation regarding incomplete child files because five randomly selected child files reviewed contained a current health appraisal, immunizations, emergency contact information and parent s right to know form. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of child attendance because each attendance record reviewed for the week of September 9, 2024, to September 12, 2024, showed exact arrival and departures times of each child. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation regarding food allergies because Administrator #1 stated each classroom, and the kitchen have the children s food allergy list. Administrator #1 stated parents provide lunch, and they complete checks to ensure food items are not shared. Regarding the allegation that lesson plans are not posted, Licensing Specialist (LS) #1 observed lesson plans posted outside each classroom. A concern noted was the lesson plans did not contain activities in all the required areas which include cognitive, social-emotional, language/literacy, and physical. Additionally, the lesson plans for children ages two-years-old and older did not provide weekly opportunities for special activities, including a food or healthy habit, science, music, or sensory.”
