This complaint is substantiated for two unknown youth volunteers being present because the provider stated she was using youth volunteers who had not been approved by OCCL. The names and dates of birth for both youth volunteers have been provided to OCCL and approved. There is no evidence to substantiate hazards being present, sanitation, too many children being present, or inadequate space because the child care space was observed to be clean and free of hazards and did not smell of pet urine. The provider stated the wooden fence had needed some repairs. This had already been completed by the time of this visit.
