How to read violations

Nearly every licensed provider accumulates some. A missing signature and an unlocked medicine cabinet are both “violations”, and they are not the same thing. Look at the class, the pattern over time and how quickly it was corrected — not the count alone.

Paperwork — records, postings, forms Standard — supervision, ratio, training Health & safety — direct risk to a child

Class is our grouping of the state’s own weights, reviewed per state. The agency’s own label is always shown beside it.

Substantiated complaint

“On September 25, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint concerning a lack of supervision and classrooms being out of staff-to-child ratio. An investigation was conducted on October 1, 2025. Based on the findings of the investigation, this complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision. LS #1 gained access to the facility through Staff #1, who left two children unattended in a classroom to open the door. During the observation, LS #1 also observed Staff #1 leaving the classroom again to open the door for additional arriving children. This complaint is also substantiated for not maintaining proper staff-to-child ratios. LS #1 observed ten children together in the same room, including one two-year-old child, which resulted in the classroom operating over the maximum staff-to-child ratio. An additional concern identified during the investigation involved exceeding room capacity. LS #1 observed ten children signed into the front classroom, while blueprints and measurements on file for the facility indicate the approved capacity for that room is five children. Older measurements for a previously licensed facility at this building indicate the room had a measured capacity of 6. A follow-up visit will occur to re-measure the space if requested by Owner #1 or Administrator #1. An additional concern identified during the investigation was there was no Early Childhood Teacher qualified staff member trained in day-to-day operations present upon LS #1 s arrival.”

Substantiated complaint

“Between November 1, 2024, and November 13, 2024, three complaints were called into the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) regarding concerns of the facility telephone not being answered, not following the facility s policies and procedures (including disrespectful communication and not following tuition agreements), the administrator not being on-site at least 50% of the hours of operation, lack of supervision, lack of security practices in managing entry into the facility, not following proper diapering procedures, failing to report head injuries to the family, and serving an infant formula when they are a breastfed baby. An investigation was conducted on November 13, 2024. This complaint is substantiated for failure to notify families of head injuries because Staff #2 reported to LS #2 that they were unaware of the requirement for calling families in the event of a head injury to properly report. Staff #2 did enter the injury into ProCare, but the entry stated the family was not notified. This complaint is substantiated for serving an infant formula who is a breastfed infant. Administrator #1 reported consent was acquired to serve Child #1 formula when they did not have enough breastmilk for the day, but documentation of this consent was not available. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for the facility phone not being answered. Multiple staff members expressed the same procedure for answering the phone and LS #1 observed the phone being answered during the visit. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not following the facility s policies and procedures. Regarding unprofessional and disrespectful communication, several pieces of documentation were presented to LS #1 in which Administrator #1 was professional and factual in the information being discussed. Administrator #1 also shared communications had with Parent #1 and #2 in which they were following through with center policy and procedure at a time when Pare nt #1 and Parent #2 were not, such as taking pictures of children in the classroom and posting on social media, and not following tuition payment schedules. Regarding the allegation of not following tuition agreements, Administrator #1 shared Parent #2 had a discounted rate and was made aware this would not transfer to Child #2 s next classroom. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for the allegation of the center administrator not being on site at least 50% of the facility operating hours. Administrator #1 provided a month s worth of timecard documentation depicting an average of six and a half hours a day spent on site. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of supervision regarding the children using the hallway bathroom. Multiple staff members were asked about the center's procedure for utilizing the bathroom throughout the day, all of which shared the same information. LS #2 witnessed several bathroom transitions throughout the visit in which there was adequate supervision. Documentation of classroom schedules were shared, depicting multiple time frames throughout the day in which bathroom transitions are scheduled. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for a lack of security measures in place regarding entering the facility because multiple staff members reported never observing the front door propped open. LS #1 has conducted several site visits at the facility and the procedure reported by multiple staff members has been observed at each visit. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not following diaper changing procedures because LS #2 observed multiple diaper changes occur in the facility throughout the visit. LS #2 also confirmed the posting of diaper-changing procedures in all the bathrooms and changing tables, and Staff #2 verbally explained the proper procedures they utilize. An additional concern noted was a child s file information was deleted immediately after termination from care. This information must be kept for at least three months.”

Substantiated complaint

“The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on November 13, 2023, regarding concerns about staff-to-child ratios, staff beginning employment prior to receiving their fingerprinting eligibility, unqualified staff members being left alone, and concerns about an unapproved pet being present in the center. A visit was conducted on November 16, 2023, to investigate this complaint. The complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision because Administrator Aniyah Lee-Buton had Staff #2 stand in the hallway to monitor her own classroom as well as the Pre-K classroom while she answered the front door to the center. This complaint is also substantiated for starting employment without their fingerprinting eligibility results. A staff member was employed for two weeks prior to being determined eligible. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for improper staff-to-child ratios as all classrooms were within correct.staff-to-child ratio at the time of this visit and attendance records accurately reflected the number of children present. All staff members interviewed stated their classrooms are never over correct staff-to-child ratios. There was no staff member employed by the name provided by the Reporter, but a staff member with a similar name was determined to be qualified to be left alone with children. There is no evidence to substantiate an unapproved pet present within the center, as there was no monkey in the center, and all staff interviewed stated they never saw a monkey in the center. There is no evidence to substantiate a broken gate on the playground or the playground not being age appropriate. The gate was in working order with the required self-latching closure and the materials present were age-appropriate and presented no hazards.”

“The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on December 28, 2021, regarding the center not having sufficient staff, improper staff-to-child ratios, lack of supervision, and the center not having a foot-activated trashcan for disposable diapers within arm s reach of the diaper-changing area. The reporter made a second complaint with additional allegations on January 19, 2022, regarding staff not placing used disposable diapers in a foot-activated container that is used only for diapers, improper discipline, and staff allowing children to sleep on unapproved rest equipment. Investigations were conducted on January 14, 2022, and January 20, 2022. The first complaint is substantiated for the center not having sufficient staff, improper staff-to-child ratios, and lack of supervision because the administrator left children alone in a classroom to answer the front door. The administrator admitted the center is not fully staffed and the staff who were interviewed confirmed there were not enough staff present to cover bathroom breaks as well as lunch breaks. Additional concerns noted were a staff member used her cell phone for personal use while caring for children, and an infant was wrapped in a blanket and wearing a bib while sleeping in a bouncy seat. There was no evidence to substantiate the allegation about the center not having a foot-activated trashcan for disposable diapers within arm s reach of the diaper-changing area because a foot-activated trashcan was observed in the bathroom where the diaper-changing area is located. The second complaint is substantiated for staff not placing used disposable diapers in a foot-activated container used exclusively for diapers because LS Brady observed an uncovered trashcan located outside where staff place used disposable diapers. Additionally, the administrator admitted to disposing of used diapers in the trashcan located outside. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegations regarding improp er discipline and staff allowing children to sleep on unapproved rest equipment. Staff denied using time-out as a form of discipline and no staff disclosed ever seeing a child fall asleep in a chair. Video footage was not able to be viewed as part of the investigation.”
