An investigation was conducted on October 31, 2024.

On October 22, 2024, an aide was alone with three children in the Pre-k room. There is no evidence to substantiate not following measured room capacity because according to attendance records and during the visit, rooms were following the measured capacity. There is no evidence to substantiate not having the administrator present the required amount of time because Staff #1 stated the administrator is out on medical leave. After the visit, Owner #1 informed OCCL that Administrator #1 resigned. A concern noted was staff were signed into more than one classroom at the same time on October 21, October 22, October 23, October 24, and October 25, 2024.
