“On July 7, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding improper staff- to-child ratios and not following procedures from the parent handbook. An investigation was conducted on July 16, 2026. This complaint is substantiated because Staff #5 observed Child #2 brushing against Child #1 in an aggressive manner and verbally inciting Child #1. Staff #5 did not report or document the incident. Furthermore, Administrator #1, Staff #1 and Staff #2 did not follow the program s policy regarding positive behavior supports and reporting accidents or critical incidents involving a child and important information regarding a child. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of improper staff-to-child ratio because attendance records showed staff-to-child ratio was followed.”
