OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)
“On July 21, 2023, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding improper discipline and not maintaining the correct staff-to-child ratios. An unannounced visit was conducted on July 24, 2023, to investigate this complaint. The complaint is substantiated for not maintaining correct staff-to-child ratios because it was observed during the complaint investigation. The one-year-old classroom had nine children present with two unqualified staff members. This was corrected at the visit when Staff #3 and Staff #5 switched classrooms. The definition of a qualified staff member was explained again during this visit to ensure the understanding was clear. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of improper discipline because Owner [name] and four staff members that were interviewed separately all stated they do not use improper discipline and they have never seen another staff member using improper discipline. During the complaint visit, the concern that the center yet again does not have a qualified Early Childhood Administrator was addressed.”

An investigation was conducted on January 31, 2023. The complaint is substantiated because, during the complaint investigation, it was observed all but one of the classrooms had unqualified staff members alone with children. In one classroom, the correct staff-to-child ratio were not being followed. There was one staff member present who was not able to provide verification of fingerprinting receipt for the center and had not been determined eligible by the CHU. [name] did forward this documentation to OCCL, but the CHU has not received the fingerprinting to determine the eligibility. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegations regarding not following the requirements for diaper changing, not following the requirements for child health exclusions, not notifying the parents when a child is sick, lack of supervision, and staff members not interacting with the children in the classroom. During the complaint investigation, it was determined through observations and interviews these requirements are being followed.
