Description: At Wee Care Day School, parents feel comfortable knowing that their children are cared for by a devoted, nurturing and trustworthy staff. We care for infants ages six weeks up to the children in our school age program.
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.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more
information.) The administration of WCDS respectfully disagrees with the findings as characterized in the inspection summary dated 06/28/18. The administration contends that no violation took place. All children on the premises were supervised by a staff person at all times. The manager on duty was unaware of the employees activities on her lunch break off premises and did not observe any unusual behavior to indicate use of marijuana on said lunch break of employee #1. It is not known the amount of marijuana used to verify level of impairment, even though none was observed. However, to ensure continued compliance with OCDEL regulations and in good faith effort to comply with OCDEL's directive the administration of WCDS submits this plan of correction. Upon employee #2 disclosing knowledge on the next business day that employee #1 used marijuana to manager on duty employee #1 was immediately terminated and #2 was given a verbal warning for not disclosing information to appropriate management. The employee handbook has been amended to add in the Substance Abuse Policy: Any employee with knowledge of use of an unauthorized substance by a WCDS employee while in the care of children or while conducting WCDS business on or off premises, at anytime, must make management aware of the matter immediately. Failure to do so will result in immediate termination. All staff have signed the amended policy to verify acknowledgement. Furthermore, a staff meeting will be held on July 11,2018 with all staff in attendance. The staff meeting will include an overview of the amended policy and a review of supervision policies. Going forward, staff will periodically be reminded of adherence to policies, including the Substance Abuse policy and OCDEL regulations. Upon hiring, all policies including the amended Substance Abuse policy will be reviewed with the new hire. |
