“The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on August 25, 2025, regarding concerns of a staff member failing to use positive behavior management techniques. An investigation was conducted on September 10, 2025. This complaint is substantiated for failure to use positive behavior management techniques based on a self-report from Owner #1, a review of video footage by LS #1, and a written statement from Owner #1. Video footage reviewed showed Staff #1 pushing Child #1 to the ground, causing them to hit their hit on a shelf, pulling Child #1's hair, hitting Child #1 repeatedly with a shoe, and holding Child #1 on the ground. An additional concern noted was the failure of a staff member present in the room to intervene during this altercation, as all staff should have an understanding of and respect for children s needs. While reviewing video footage of the altercation between Staff #1 and Child #1, LS #1 observed Staff #3 sitting, observing, and not intervening to help Child #1.”
