| Date | Type | Regulations | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-26 | Complaint | 13A.16.03.07A | Corrected |
| Findings: Reporter sent picture evidence of children in the upstairs portion of the building. It was reported that they go upstairs to play when it is 'too bad' to go outside. The Reporter also stated that the infants and toddlers go upstairs with staff "frequently:. This space is not approved child care space. When asked, the Director said that she has no knowledge of this and they must do it when she is not there. When the Infant/Toddler teacher was asked, she denied that her group of children go upstairs. Despite denial of knowledge of preschool children going upstairs, seemingly playing, there is picture evidence demonstrating that they are in unapproved space. Therefore, this is a non-compliance. Please write a letter of correction stating how the Center will become in compliance with this regulation in the future. | |||

| Findings: During a review of children's records, it was found that seven children do not have any blood lead test results in their file. One child was found to be missing the second blood lead test that is required at 24 months of age. Please notify the parents in writing of the need for their child's blood lead test and provide that written notification to OCC for the correction of those non-compliances as it may take some time to schedule the blood lead test. Another child has documentation that the second blood lead test had been ordered, but no test results were found in the file.

| Findings: One of the Aides employed at the Center should have completed a three hour Aide Orientation course no later than 10/25/2025. She completed the required training course, albeit late, on 12/02/2025. Therefore, this non-compliance has already been corrected. | |||
| 2025-08-25 | Other | 13A.16.09.02C | Corrected |
| Findings: During the inspection, the LS noticed that the activity plan for one of the children in the infant room has not been updated since 04/01/2025. It must be updated every three months.

| 2025-08-25 | Other | 13A.16.10.04A | Corrected |
| Findings: During the inspection, it was observed that the Director attempted to secure the cabinet under the sink in the infant room, but the mechanism is not sufficient to ensure the children's protection from the harmful items stored there. The Director installed a hook and eye clasp that connects the two doors, but it easily comes unhooked. Therefore, the children are exposed to various harmful cleaning products located under the sink. Please install a different locking mechanism for those doors and send a picture to OCC for the correction of this non-compliance, | |||
| 2025-05-29 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.03.05B | Corrected |
| Findings: The staffing pattern posted for the Infant/Toddler room is incorrect. It has the Infant/Toddler teacher and the Aide both gone on break at the same time with the Director, who is also infant toddler teacher qualified, alone with 6 children. The ratio should be 1 staff to 3 infants. Please ensure proper coverage and correctly reflect the coverage on the staffing pattern. Post the correct staffing pattern and send a copy of it to OCC for the correction of this non-compliance. | |||
| 2023-06-08 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.05.12E | Corrected |
| Findings: LS observed a portion of the wooden playground set containing a slide that has a piece of wood that has broken off and is, therefore, exposing sharp nails. Please remedy this as soon as possible. It should not be played on until this is remedied in order to prevent injury of children. Please provide picture evidence of the remedy of the exposed hazard for the correction of this non-compliance. | |||
