OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)
“A complaint was received on July 29, 2022, regarding concerns about improper discipline, unsanitary conditions, and lack of appropriate meals for the children in care. At the conclusion of an investigation starting August 8, 2022, and concluding August 25, 2022, this complaint is substantiated for improper discipline. While OCCL is unable to determine if [name] put her hands around Child #1 s neck or intended to scare him in the basement, more than one source noted concerns about [name] yelling at and humiliating children, with one source providing specific examples. Both sources noted a consistent lack of patience with the children. The breakfast provided on the day of the initial investigation visit did not match what was noted on the written menu, but the components did align with required Child Meal Patterns. There was no evidence to substantiate unsanitary conditions in the child care space. There are a lot of materials, but no surfaces seen were noticeably dirty. However, chemicals/cleaners were observed within reach of children if when they are taken into the basement.”
