“The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on June 4, 2024, regarding the suspension/expulsion policy in the parent handbook, accident/injury procedures, and lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on June 5, 2024. The complaint is substantiated for the suspension/expulsion policy because there was not a suspension/expulsion policy in the parent handbook the provider provided during the visit. The allegation of not following accident/injury procedures is substantiated because the accident/injury handwritten report was missing the child s name and the first aid or medical care provided as required in the regulations and was not available in the child s file. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of lack of supervision because the provider stated the incidents happened when she was changing a diaper, preparing a meal, or assisting another child in the bathroom.”
