OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)

“On July 21, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of failing to follow diapering regulations, failing to have and follow procedures to address food allergies, child file requirements, and failing to follow menu requirements. An investigation was conducted on July 28, 2026. Based on interviews and observations made during the investigation, this complaint is substantiated for failing to follow diapering regulations. On live video, LS #1 observed Staff #1 changing a child's diaper on a mat with a disposable cover on the classroom floor rather than using the designated changing table in the adjoining classroom. Staff #1 disinfected the mat as required after use. It was also observed that Staff #1 did not wash their own hands or the child's hands following the diaper change. Administrator #1 confirmed staff is expected to use the adjoining classroom for diaper changes. This complaint is also substantiated for failing to follow menu requirements. The food served for breakfast the day of the visit did not match the posted menu for that day. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for allegations regarding children with allergies not receiving appropriate substitutions, failing to have and follow procedures to address food allergies, and child file requirements. Administrator #1, Cook #1, and staff consistently stated children with dietary needs and allergies receive appropriate substitutions. LS #1 verified allergy documentation in child files and observed allergy lists posted in the office and classrooms.”

OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)

“On June 26, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received three complaints from the same reporter regarding allegations of administration of medication requirements, lack of supervision, not having a designated, qualified person in charge in the absence of the administrator, incomplete child file information, transportation regulations, positive behavior supports, disrespectful communication by staff, and failing to meeting the needs of children. An investigation began on June 29, 2026, and concluded on July 6, 2026. Based on interviews with the director and staff, and a review of child files, this complaint is substantiated for incomplete child files and for not following the requirements for administering medication to children because Child #1's file did not contain a completed Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the medication that three staff members who were interviewed stated had been administered to Child #1 on June 17, 2026. Child #1 was administered duplicate doses of an over-the-counter medication without an accompanying MAR and not in its original packaging. This complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision because Licensing Specialist #1 observed video footage from multiple dates, showing a child alone in a hallway without a staff member supervising. This complaint is substantiated for staff not meeting the needs of children because all staff interviewed stated they had observed staff members picking up and moving children on cots while they were sleeping. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for failing to have a qualified person in charge in the absence of the administrator because the center notified OCCL of the former administrator s resignation within the required timeframe and they are currently searching for a permanent replacement. Based on interviews and a review of documentation there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for failing to meet transportation regulations, failing to use positive beh avior supports, or disrespectful communication by staff.”
