Description: Supervised at all times

Noncompliance Area: At the time of complaint investigation child #1 was alone receiving services from their therapist unsupervised by facility staff.

Correction Required: Children on the facility premises and on facility excursions off the premises shall be supervised by a staff person at all times. Outdoor play space used by the facility is considered part of the facility premises.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)

2026-07-06 Complaints- Legal Location 3270.113(c) - No ridicule or threaten harm Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.113(c)

Description: No ridicule or threaten harm

Noncompliance Area: At the time of the complaint investigation, it was identified that the facility was ridiculing children by putting them in time out in the "Magic Chair" for misbehaving. Although the facility stated they were unaware that this was public shaming. It was explained that this causes a child to be ridiculed by using the "Magic Chair" for misbehaving.

Correction Required: A facility person may not single out the child for ridicule, threaten harm to the child or the child's family and may not specifically aim to degrade the child or the child's family.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
The "Magic Chair" was intended to be a designated calming/reset area where a child could sit for a short period of time when they needed help calming down, regrouping, or redirecting their behavior. It was not created or intended to ridicule, embarrass, degrade or publicly shame any child. After being advised that the name and use of the "Magic Chair" could be interpreted as a form of ridicule or public shaming, Foundation 1st Learning Academy immediately discontinued the practice and the terminology. Staff have been instructed that children are never to be singled out, embarrassed, threatened, degraded or ridiculed as a form of discipline. Moving forward, age-appropriate positive redirection and calming strategies will be used when a child needs assistance regulating their behavior
2026-07-06 Complaints- Legal Location 3270.17(b) - Permit specialized services Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.17(b)

Description: Permit specialized services

Noncompliance Area: At the time of the complaint investigation, it was verified that the facility was denying services for special needs if the therapist did not schedule with the facility a day in advance and or 1 hour in advance of when services were going to be provided.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Foundation 1st Learning Academy has reviewed and clarified its procedure regarding therapist scheduling. The purpose of requesting advance communication from therapists is not to deny or prevent a child from receiving specialized services. Some children enrolled in the facility receive services from multiple therapists and advance communication helps the facility coordinate those services and prevent therapy sessions from overlapping. Moving forward, the facility will continue to communicate with therapists regarding scheduling in order to properly coordinate services for each child. However, a child will not be denied approved specialized services solely because a therapist did not provide the requested advance communication.
