| 2026-07-17 | Complaint | 13A.16.07.01 | Corrected |
| Findings: This was a self-reported complaint as the Center relayed an incident to the assigned Licensing Specialist that involved a staff member putting his hands on a 10 year old child in an attempt to control the child's behavior. The police were called by the child. The LS interviewed the child in question as well as his 7 year old brother at the request of their parent. The LS also interviewed the staff member who admitted to (and demonstrated on the LS) taking the left arm of the child in the area above his wrist, twisting his arm and subsequently moving his body around to go in the opposite direction as he was initially. After the demonstration, the LS could still feel where the staff member's fingers had gripped her arm and bent her wrist even after approximately ten minutes after the demonstration. When asked if the staff member used about the same amount of force to the child as he did to the LS, the staff member said that he did. Staff are not to use any physical discipline or subject a child to any injurious treatment. Staff member agreed to think before he acts, ask another staff for help and walk away if a similar situation arises. Please write a letter of correction. | |||

| Findings: During a review of staff records, no medical was found for an Aide who usually works in the one year old room. In addition, no current medical was found for an Aide who works in the 3 year old room. Please have both of them have a medical evaluation performed by a medical professional and documented on the OCC medical form. Please submit a copy of their medicals to OCC and keep a copy in their employee file at the Center for the correction of this non-compliance. | |||
| 2025-08-19 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.06.05C(3) | Corrected |
| Findings: The Director did not complete the 2024 Basic Health and Safety Update through MSDE that was due no later than 12/31/2024. When it was brought to her attention, the Director completed it during this inspection and provided the certificate of completion. Therefore, this non-compliance was corrected on-site. | |||
| 2025-08-19 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.06.09C | Corrected |
| Findings: The teacher assigned to the 4 year old classroom did not complete all of her required training hours within her training period. She only completed 10.5 out of the required 12 hours during her 05/24-05/25 training period. She then completed an additional 3 hours of training in 08/2025 which is being applied to her 05/24-05/25 year. This same teacher, the teacher in the 3 year old room and another teacher did not complete the 2024 Basic Health and Safety Update through MSDE that was due no later than 12/31/2024. When it was brought to the Director's attention, all of the teachers completed the training during nap time today and provided the certificate of completion. Therefore, all portions of this non-compliance were corrected on-site. | |||
| 2025-08-19 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.06.12A(3) | Corrected |
| Findings: An Aide, who is currently substituting in the one year old room during today's inspection, has not taken an approved basic health and safety training within the required 90 days of employment. She is signed up to take the next Basic Health and Safety course through MSDE in September. Please submit her completed training certificate for the correction of this non-compliance. | |||
| 2025-08-19 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.06.12B(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: An Aide in the two year old room only completed 1.5 hours of training during her training period, 11/23-11/24. She then completed another 1.5 hours of trainings on 04/24/2025 which is being applied to the 11/23-11/24 training period. Therefore, she still needs to complete an additional 3 hours to make up her required training hours for the 11/23-11/24 training period. Please submit training certificates for at least 3 hours of approved training for this Aide for the correction of this non-compliance. | |||
| 2025-08-19 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.06.12B(3) | Corrected |
| Findings: One Aide has not completed the 2023 Basic Health and Safety Update that was due no later than 03/31/2024. That same Aide has not completed the 2024 Basic Health and Safety Update that was due no later than 12/31/2024. Please have her take the respective courses on the MSDE website and submit the training certificates for the correction of this non-compliance. Another Aide, who is assigned to the 4 year old room, has not completed the 2024 Basic Health and Safety course that was due no later than 12/31/2024. When this was brought to the Director's attention, the Aide in the 4 year old room completed the training during nap time today and provided the certificate of completion. Therefore, this portion of the non-compliance was corrected on-site. | |||
| 2025-08-19 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.08.07A | Corrected |
| Findings: During this inspection, the Licensing Specialist observed the Aide in the School-aged room leave the teacher alone with 22 children on the playground while he was inside the building or on the front porch and unable to see the children. This Aide is not adhering to the proper staff to child ratio consisting of one staff for every 15 children. When this was mentioned to him by the Licensing Specialist, he admitted he was the second staff member for that group but continued to not supervise the group. He was inside at one point finishing an art project by himself, another time he was retrieving something from the front porch and another time he took some children, but not seven children, inside to use the bathroom. For the correction of this non-compliance, please educate this staff member on proper procedures, staff to child ratios and write a letter of correction stating how you will ensure that this staff member follows regulations. | |||
| 2025-08-19 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.12.01A(4) | Corrected |
| Findings: In all of the rooms, except the infant room and the one year old room, 2% milk was being served to children two years old and older. Children 2 years old and older shall be served 1% or nonfat milk. Please write a letter of correction stating how you will become compliant with this regulation in the future. | |||

| 2023-08-24 | Other | 13A.16.05.12D | Corrected |
| Findings: On 08/17/2023, a two year old child was injured on the playground underneath the wooden pirate ship due to a screw sticking out of the wood. He required medical attention to include stitches. During today's inspection, it was obvious that the Center attempted to file down several screws that are sticking out of the underbelly of the ship, but they were not sufficiently filed down. The screws were still posing a safety hazard. However, when this was brought to the attention of the Owner, she immediately remedied the situation by putting barriers over the sharp pieces of the screws. In addition, the Owner removed some nails that were not sticking out but were rusty. The Owner also secured a screw that had come away from the intended point of entry. Therefore, this non-compliance was corrected on site. All other outdoor play equipment presented as safe for the children. | |||
| 2023-07-18 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.03.05B | Corrected |
| Findings: Staffing patterns are posted, but they are incorrect. The staffing patterns that are posted are dated 10/24/2022. The Director reported (via phone) that she was working on new staffing patterns, but has not finished them. Please finish developing the correct staffing patterns, post them in the Center and send the new staffing patterns to OCC for the correction of this non-compliance. | |||
| 2023-07-18 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.03.06A(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: During the inspection, a "substitute", HL, showed up to work. This Licensing Specialist was unaware of this staff member as she is not listed on the Associated Parties list. HL reported that she goes to college, but substitutes when she is out of school. When discussed via phone with the Director, she reported that she thought she moved HL to a sub. However, HL was deleted from the Associated Parties list subsequent to a 1203 dated 08/03/2022. Due to the deletion, her CBCs are no longer associated with the Center and her latest release of information was last cleared in 2020. Therefore, HL was instructed to leave the property until she can be cleared via notarized release and applicable fingerprints. Please write a letter of correction stating how the Center will become in compliance with this regulation in the future. | |||
| 2023-07-18 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.03.06A(2) | Corrected |
| Findings: Upon arrival of the Director from the field trip, she confirmed that three staff members listed on the Associated Parties list do not work at the Center. The Center must notify OCC of the ending of employment of an individual within five working days of the individual's last day of employment. While the Licensing Specialist was still on-site, the Director wrote a 1203 deleting the three staff members and changing four staff members to substitutes. Therefore, this non-compliance was corrected on-site. | |||

| 2022-06-09 | Complaint | 13A.16.04.01B | Corrected |
| Findings: It was reported that the number of children may be "over" at the center. Upon reviewing the attendance records from yesterday, there didn't appear to be more than 72 total children present yesterday. There are 93 children currently enrolled at the center which does pose a great risk for having more than the assigned total capacity of 75 children on site. There may be no more than 75 total children on site at any one time. Each classroom also has a limited number of children permitted in it based on the square foot of the classroom and other factors. The assigned capacity is listed on the license. The rooms are not to exceed the numbers of children allowed per the licensed limits. It was evident that there have been times, including yesterday, when at least 1 classroom exceeded the assigned capacity. The upstairs back room is limited to 17 children and there were 19 children in this room yesterday. There are actually 21 children enrolled in the back upstairs room which, even with several part time children, runs a risk of having more than 17 children present. This room may not have more than 17 children at any one time. Please forward corrective action within 30 days. | |||
| 2022-06-09 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.01A(2)(a) | Corrected |
| Findings: Lic. Spec. observed 2-school aged children alone in the front office, watching videos. This room is not approved for use by children and there was no staff in the room with these children. The staff from the infant room could possibly see and hear these 2 children but the boys were sitting at the desk and the staff were busy with the infants in their room. Unless the staff actually walked over to look through the wall opening the staff couldn't see the boys. All children are to be properly supervised at all times. This seemed to be normal practice for these children based on their response to the director, when asked what they were doing. One child responded, "watching videos". These 2 children attend a different school then the other 9 school aged children who had left on the public school bus. It seems that the children were in the office for about 10 minutes. They had no classroom to go to and were asked to join the infant room for a few minutes. Each child is to be assigned to a group and have age appropriate materials to use and qualified staff to care for the children. (screen time is to be limited to no more than 30 minutes per week too). Corrective action is required immed. | |||
| 2022-06-09 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.03A | Corrected |
| Findings: The reporter stated that numbers may be "off" at the center. It did seem evident that the ratios of children to staff were incorrect. Please forward current staffing patterns immediately to indicate how all classrooms will come into compliance and maintain compliance with staff child ratios. | |||
| 2022-06-09 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.03C(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: The back infant room is limited to 6 infants. Per the attendance record from yesterday there were 7 infants in care at the same time. It is unclear if the staffing was correct or not. There are actually 8 children enrolled in this classroom. While there are 2 part time children and 1 "occasional" child enrolled the parents don't seem to have a strict schedule to adhere to in order to be sure the group size doesn't exceed 6. During the inspection there were 2 staff observed with a group of 6 infants. The 2 yr. old room has 16 children enrolled-4 toddlers and 12-2 yr. olds. Yesterday there were 4 toddlers and 10-2yr olds present, this group size is also incorrect and must be corrected. Today the 2 yr. old room had 3 toddlers and 9-2yr. olds present. Please forward written corrective action within 30 days as to how the back infant room will be limited to 6 children at all times and how the 2 yr. old room on the main floor will come into and stay in compliance. | |||
| 2022-06-09 | Complaint | 13A.16.09.04A(4)(a) | Corrected |
| Findings: There are 8 children enrolled in the back infant room. There are only 6 cribs and yesterday there were 7 infants present. When asked where the crib is for the 7th child the staff didn't answer. There are to only be 6 infants present at one time in this room, but yesterday 7 infants were present at the same time. Each child under age 1 is to have an appropriate crib. | |||
| 2021-07-29 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.06.12A(3) | Corrected |
| Findings: There are 2 aides: HL and RS both hired over 90 days ago with no evidence of completing Basic Health and Safety training on site. The staff believe they did complete the training but were unable to "pull up" their training on site. Please immediately obtain copies of the health and safety training to keep on file at the center and please forward copies of the training to OCC within 30 days. | |||
| 2021-07-29 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.08.02B | Corrected |
| Findings: Based on the posted staffing patterns it appeared as if the rooms were properly staffed with qualified staff. However, when a qualified infant staff left at 2pm and it was determined that she always leaves at 2pm and that the staffing pattern wasn't correctly reflecting what was happening. When the qualified infant teacher leaves at 2pm the room is left with an aide in charge of the room. There is to be qualified staff in charge of each room all day. The owner plans to correct this situation by requesting a variance for a staff, LN, who has completed half of the 90 hour infant training. LN needs to complete an approved 45 hour child growth and development course and ADA. Updated staffing patterns posted and rec'd on site to reflect this plan. Please correct within 30 days. Discussed that even if the variance is approved for LN, LN may not currently be alone in a classroom due to needing an out of state clearance. | |||
| 2021-07-29 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.08.03D(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: Upon arrival at the center there was 1 qualified infant teacher alone in the front infant/toddler room. The staff, AC, was alone with 4 children-2 toddlers an infant and a 4 year old. This group requires 2 staff. The 2nd staff was added about 8:20am. The room was out of ratio for about 30 minutes. Please adjust schedules (staff and/or parents) so that the staff child ratio is always correct. There was an "extra" staff in another infant room this morning. This staff child ratio issue was corrected during the inspection, when a staff went to work with the staff person who was alone. Discussed that staff need to ensure that ratios are always correct. | |||
| 2021-07-29 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.10.04A | Corrected |
| Findings: Discussed that it is important that all hazards be kept inaccessible to children. A latch recently broke under the sink in the infant room and hazards were stored there. The staff immediately relocated the hazards to make them inaccessible. There was also a spray deodorizer observed in the preschool bathroom upstairs, which once noted was also immediately made inaccessible to the children. Please be sure that all hazards are always inaccessible to children. | |||
| 2021-02-10 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.03A | Corrected |
| Findings: It was reported that on Monday and Wednesday mornings there are too many children and not enough staff and that the children are wild. There were 2 classrooms out of compliance with staff child ratios during the inspection. The infant room had 6 infants and 1 staff for a short time and the preschool room upstairs had 12 children with 1 staff. | |||
| 2021-02-10 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.03C(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: Upon arrival the owner reported that she was at the bus stop with 3 children for a few minutes which left 1 staff with 6 infants. Another staff reported that it was about 5 minutes. It is unclear how long the room with infants was out of ratio, but now that there is a bus schedule again the center needs to plan for that and not leave rooms, especially infant rooms out of ratio. There is too much risk and needs to be met in an infant room. It is extremely difficult for 1 staff to meet the needs of 6 children. This classroom was observed to be in compliance during the inspection. If all 6 school agers were outside with owner or another staff at the bus stop (not just the 3 leaving) there wouldn't have been a need for an additional staff person to cover the infant room. Please be sure to maintain staff child ratios at all times. The 2nd staff was in the infant room before the VI was over. | |||
| 2021-02-10 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.03D(2)(b) | Corrected |
| Findings: There was one staff BL observed to be alone with 12 preschool aged children. The owner states she has 2 staff out due to a Covid-19 closure. The owner also reported that this morning the director was at an appointment with her 2 infants. The owner was aware of the directors appointment and needed to make arrangements either with parents to not bring children until staff was in place or to have additional staff available. Upon talking with the operator later in the day, she reported that 1 of the preschoolers was picked up by 10:30am and a 2nd preschool child left on the school bus at 12:30pm. This room was out of compliance for several hours. Please forward written corrective action within 30 days indicating how this will not happen in the future. | |||
| 2021-01-26 | Other | 13A.16.05.08A | Corrected |
| Findings: There was no diapering station in the "2 year old room" on the main floor. Lic. Spec. observed a toddler in this classroom. Each child under age 2 is to have a diapering station. There is a qualified infant staff in this room. The director was able to create a diapering station during the inspection. The diapering station is temporary. We opened the center with this room having a diapering station however, when the toddler room was opened the diapering station was moved to the toddler room. It was agreed then that there would be no children under age 2 in the 2 year old room any longer. The operator will be allowed to have a toddler in this room for the remainder of this week only. The operator states that all children under age 2 has a daily report and an individual schedule. | |||
