“On November 12, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of failure to follow the facility s termination of care policies. An investigation was conducted on November 18, 2025. Based on interviews conducted and documents reviewed, this complaint is substantiated for failing to follow termination policies. In the facility s handbook it states a five-business day written notice would be provided to parents prior to termination of services. While the administrator stated a meeting was held with the parents on November 12, 2025, and verbal notice of pending termination of care effective November 30, 2025, was given at that time, there is no written documentation of this meeting or the notice of termination of care.”
