Inspection Date Reason Description Status
2025-10-27 Renewal Renewal Compliant - Finalized
2024-10-17 Renewal 3270.14/3270.21 - Pertinent Laws & Regulations/General Health and Safety Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.14/3270.21

Description: Pertinent Laws & Regulations/General Health and Safety

Noncompliance Area: At the time of the inspection, it was observed, 3 spray bottles 2 labeled, "cleaner/disinfectant/sanitizer"1 not labeled on a black cart used by the school district's cafeteria staff during breakfast located in the licensed childcare space where the children were observed in care.

Correction Required: A facility shall be operated in conformity with applicable Federal and State laws and regulations.State agencies whose regulations may relate to the operation of a facility include the Department of Environmental Resources, the Department of Labor and Industry, the Department of Health, the Department of Education and the Department of Transportation. Conditions at the facility may not pose a threat to the health or safety of the children.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Announcement C-24-02 was put in place, effective October 2024, and violations were given due to this announcement to all my school-age sites (7 sites), except one, due to the fact that site was inspected in September 2024, when Announcement C-24-02 was not in place. There has been much confusion about Announcement C-24-02 from providers, certification representatives, and supervisors. After speaking with many OCDEL representatives, and not having all our questions answered, and not being able to contact and talk with a person in the Federal Childcare office, we came up with a plan that was acceptable. We are still in the process of trying to speak to a person in the Federal office about Announcement C-24-02, but were told by certification people that our plan of correction is due, so we wrote one. We were told that they are enforcing this Announcement C-24-02 to comply with Federal regulations or grant money would not be given to OCDEL. Hopefully, we will have more specific clarification from the Federal office soon.
