OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)
“The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on May 24, 2024, regarding lack of supervision, improper staff-to-child ratio, lack of confidentiality, staff using their cell phones while caring for children, and positive behavior supports. An investigation was conducted on June 7, 2024.

Additional concerns noted were one staff and one child were not signed into the infant classroom at the time of arrival. Also, Staff #2 was not signed in on the infant classroom attendance record in the afternoon on May 14, 2024, but according to the Brightwheel timecard and still shots from the video recording system, Staff #2 was present in the infant classroom.”

OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)
“The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on October 30, 2023, regarding lack of supervision, improper staff-to-child ratio, and allowing children to hit each other. This complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision because Staff #2, Staff #4, and Parent #1 stated Child #1 was able to climb over the fence and get out of the playground. With proper supervision, Child #1 should not have had an opportunity to get out of the playground as staff would have intervened before it reached that level rather than returning him to the playground. Staff #2 and Staff #4 both stated staff immediately returned Child #1 to the playground. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegations of improper staff-to-child ratio or staff allowing children to hit each other because interviewed staff denied this, and attendance records showed proper staff-to-child ratio being followed.”
