Description: Kid’s Campus offers young children their first positive educational experience in a preschool setting from infant through pre-kindergarten, as well as before and after school care. We focus on early literacy & math skills, science lessons, socialization skills, conflict resolution, practical life lessons, physical movement & play, and the arts. At Kid’s Campus, your child is viewed as an individual. We believe that all children learn and experience situations in a distinct manner. We believe all children desire to be nurtured, cared for, and accepted. Your child will feel appreciated and valued at Kid’s Campus. We are more than a day care or child care. We offer a complete early learning curriculum taught by professional, caring staff.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

| Findings: Complaint alleged bleach disinfecting was done in the Rainbow rm while children were present. Complaint alleged parent arrived to pick up child from Rainbow room due to room closure for positive Covid case and the smell of bleach was 'overwhelming'. It was reported child's clothes, skin and bedding smelled of bleach after pick up. Aide, KF, was told to clean Pink and Rainbow rooms. KF stated she used the already mixed bleach in the Pink rm to clean. KF stated the bleach bottle in the Rainbow rm was empty. She asked where she could find bleach and was directed to the kitchen. KF stated bleach came from a regular bleach bottle and she poured the bleach directly into the spray bottle in the Rainbow room with no water. This is the bleach that was used to disinfect the room. KF stated, when asked, that she did not know she was supposed to dilute the bleach with water prior to use. KF stated there was one child and another Aide, EH, present, as well as AL for a brief period of time. KF and Owner both stated KF was 'retrained' on how to mix bleach on Friday, May 20. LS observed both inf rooms today and neither smelled of bleach. Rooms are closed until 5-30-22. See remarks section. | |||

| Findings: Complaint alleged there is no qualified staff in the Green room and there is an Aide in charge of the room, alone. Complainant unsure if center is advertising for the position. During inspection today, there was no qualified staff member in charge of the group. Aide, CC, was present with 9 children, but was not signed in as a substitute on the sub record today. The qualified teacher in this room left employment approximately 3 weeks ago. Center is trying to find qualified staff and is currently advertising on Indeed (LS has copy of ad). There were 3 other rooms today where Aides who were in charge of groups were not signed in as substitutes. Even if the staff member is regularly in a classroom, if they are not qualified as a lead teacher, they still need to be signed in as a substitute on the sub record. Please send written plan of correction to LS. | |||
| 2022-03-29 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.01A(2)(b) | Corrected |
| Findings: Complaint alleged child was observed outside, unattended, and parents were notified about this incident by child's sibling. Complaint alleged this was discussed with Owner and Owner was 'unaware' of the incident. LS interviewed Owner, YM. YM stated former Asst Dir, LR, reported incident to her the following day. YM stated she was told the child 'pushed' the door open, went outside and the door closed while former teacher, BJ, was helping children put on coats and line up. YM stated she was told child was unattended for approximately '6 seconds'. YM stated 'Ms. Shelby' was coming inside, saw the child and let him back in. YM stated she, LR, and BJ met with parent after incident. LS will follow up SL ('Ms. Shelby') and possibly other former staff members, but Owner has admitted that the child was outside of the Green room, unattended, for a brief period of time, therefore, LS confirms this complaint allegation. BJ is no longer employed at the center. | |||

| Findings: Lic Spec observed the video from the day in question. On 2 separate occasions, the 2 year old child was put on the 'sad mat' for more than 2 minutes. The first time the child was picked up by the upper arms and carried, while kicking, to the mat and was made to stay there for 4 minutes. The second time, the child was picked up by the wrists for no apparent reason and carried, while kicking again, to the mat, where she stayed for 10 minutes. During the time between 8:03am and 8:13am, the child got up once and the employee put her back on the mat. Child got up again and employee put her back on the mat and stood over her in an intimidating stance. There is no audio, but it appears the employee engaged in verbal intimidation throughout this time. Although the employee who was terminated did not use an appropriate discipline method, the Director and management of the center acted swiftly and appropriately to insure the employee would not discipline or inflict injurious treatment on other children in care by terminating the employee immediately. Center should continue to monitor discipline methods used by staff. | |||

| Findings: On 9-20-19, the employee involved in the incident was not recorded as a substitute. Employee is not teacher qualified and was the only staff member present in the room.

One new employee has been hired and started and two more qualified staff are scheduled to start in October. | |||

| Findings: On 9-20-19, Ctr Dir contacted OCC to report an employee in 2 yo rm was terminated for grabbing a child by arms and wrists and throwing child's shoes at the child. Dir reported this was observed on the center's video monitors. Dir reported at approximately 7:50am, employee was observed grabbing a child by both arms and removing child from the table where child was eating breakfast and placed on the 'sad mat'. Director reported child removed her shoes and threw them in the direction of the employee and the employee threw the child's shoes in the trash can. Director then reported a short time later the employee took the shoes out of the trash can and threw them in the direction of the child, possibly hitting the child with a shoe (unclear in video as sad mat was only partially visible). Dir reported child returned to table to finish cereal when employee grabbed child by the wrists and put child on the 'sad mat' again. Employee was called to office and terminated that day. TC to Owner on 9-23-19 corroborated info reported by Director. Lic Spec observed video today and confirms report. Child is still in care and Lic Spec feels ctr took appropriate action regarding employee. | |||

| Findings: Licensing Specialist observed a container of disinfecting wipes in a lower cabinet in the Black room which were accessible to children. Even though this is a school age room, all potentially hazardous items should be kept out of reach or inaccessible to children. Director relocated the wipes during inspection. This has been corrected. | |||

| Findings: The sink in the children's bathroom in the Blue room is not draining properly and leaving a backup of water in the sink. It appears the sink stopper is not working properly and is staying almost closed, which is not allowing the water to drain. There is a broken toilet tank lid on the far left toilet in the Green room bathroom. The broken edge of the lid has been covered with packing tape, but there is still a ceramic edge exposed. Please repair the sink and replace the toilet tank lid. Send photos to Licensing Specialist. | |||

My children went to Kids Campus for a cumulative total of 14 years. One of my children is special needs as well and I have ALWAYS received wonderful care from Tracy Jost, LaShawn Reed, and Candis Drumwright and their staff. In October the unfortunate event took place of selling the daycare to Yomi. Change is ok but as a parent I have grown to expect a certain level of service and education from Kids Campus. Staff turnover was very high. Experienced wonderful teachers were leaving because of the management. I reached out to the owner on several occasions to express feedback and concerns. My concerns were dismissed and laughed off. Communication with teachers was discouraged by management. It was witnessed that parents were yelled at by management when trying to talk to their childs teachers. I removed my children from this center and have placed them elsewhere and I'm so happy I made the change. My children love their new center and are thriving. I have talked to numerous parents who have removed their children from Kids Campus due to the lack of communication and actual complaints of the center. Its a shame such an amazing center crumbled this quickly under the new owner.
