OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)
“On October 22, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding concerns of improper discipline. An investigation was conducted on October 23, 2024. This complaint is substantiated for improper discipline based on interviews and review of video footage from Staff #1 s classroom. Staff #1 was observed pulling a child across the carpet by one arm and was also observed smacking Child #1 on the side/bottom after Child #1 fell in the classroom. Staff #1 s employment was terminated on October 21, 2024, after these allegations were brought to the facility s attention and video footage was viewed. An additional concern noted was that although Staff #2 reached out to OCCL to determine what classified as child abuse, staff at the facility did not call the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line after viewing the footage on October 18, 2024. OCCL requires all staff read and sign a review of child abuse and neglect annually, which outlines abuse to include any mistreatment or maltreatment of a child.”
