OCCL received a complaint on June 1, 2022, regarding improper staff-to-child ratios, failure to use security procedures, and the air conditioner not working. An investigation was conducted on June 2, 2022. This complaint is substantiated for improper staff-to-child ratios and failure to use security procedures because there was an unqualified staff supervising two separate classrooms, the front door was unlocked, and there was not a staff member monitoring the front door to ensure security procedures were followed. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of the air conditioner not working because staff denied this and the temperature was under the maximum allowed temperature. Additional concerns noted were staff attendance records were not accurate, children were missing top or bottom coverings for naps, and an infant was observed awake in a crib with a bottle.
