      OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)

      “On April 3, 2024, a complaint was called into the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) regarding improper discipline. OCCL s investigation of regulatory non-compliance began after clearance from other agencies was received. An investigation was conducted by OCCL on June 17, 2024. Based on the results of this investigation this complaint is substantiated for improper discipline because video footage observed showed Staff #1 pushing Child #1 to the ground, pulling Child #1 across the floor, and hitting Child #1 in the leg with a bookshelf. Staff #1 is also observed in the footage forcefully wiping blood from Child #1 s face. Additional concerns include Staff #2 being observed on video footage with an air pod in her ear while working in the classroom.”

      OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)

      “On November 10, 2023, and November 15, 2023, two complaints were called into the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line and accepted for investigation by the Institutional Abuse Unit (IAU). The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received the initial complaint on November 15, 2023, and accepted it for investigation regarding improper discipline. A third complaint was received through the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line on November 23, 2023. An unannounced visit was conducted by OCCL and IAU on November 16, 2023. OCCL determined on February 20, 2024, that IAU closed their investigation as unsubstantiated so the OCCL investigation could proceed. The complaint is substantiated by OCCL for improper discipline based on video footage reviewed, staff interviews, and documentation collected. Staff #1 brought her concerns to [name] and she reviewed video footage on the playground from November 8, 2023. Staff #1 reported the incident regarding Staff #2 hitting Child #1 on the leg to [name]. Staff #2 is observed in the video footage walking towards Child #1 and kicking motion towards Child #1. From the camera s angle, it is not clear how hard Staff #2 kicked Child #1, and Child #1 was seen rolling away from Staff #2 when she kicked Child #1 s leg. Staff #2 was terminated from employment for not following the positive guidance policy the center has in place, which directly forbids corporal punishment and physical mishandling of children.”
