OCCL Standards Complaint (Substantiated)
“The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on August 17, 2026, regarding concerns of inaccurate attendance records, unauthorized pickup, and not being truthful with families. An investigation was conducted on August 24, 2026, which included an interview with Administrator #1 and Staff #1 and a review of attendance and meal records, authorized pickup information, video footage, and communications provided by the facility to families. This complaint is substantiated for inaccurate attendance records. Administrator #1 noted Parent #2 did not complete the correct sign-out process for Child #1 on August 14, 2026, so Child #1 was not signed out of the facility until 6:00 pm despite leaving earlier in the day. On August 17, 2026, attendance records were accurate in showing Child #1 was absent. An incorrect meal entry was identified and corrected after Parent #1 contacted the facility. Child #1 was not marked present on the CACFP meal count records on that date. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint regarding unauthorized pickup. Video footage and authorized pickup information confirmed Parent #2 and an authorized family member picked Child #1 up from the facility on August 14, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint regarding inaccurate information being provided to parents. Information obtained during the investigation showed the facility notified families of billing issues associated with the transition to a new family communication application, and Administrator #1 was not present during Child #1's August 14, 2026, pickup and did not have the pick-up information available when contacted by Parent #1.”
