Corrected: Jan 15, 2026

Serious Corrected

Care being provided was not consistent enough to address a routine occurrence of aggressive biting by a child in care. As a result, several children were being bitten on a routine basis, sometimes causing bite marks that lasted at or longer than 24 hours.

Corrected: Nov 19, 2025

Critical Corrected

A caregiver did not use good judgment or competency in how they communicated with a parent after their child received an accidental injury that was above minor. The parent was provided with insufficient detail of the injury and did not indicate how serious the injury was. As a result, the parent was not able to accurately access their child's injury and that it needed more immediate attention than waiting until pick up time. The child had several abrasions across the face, a bruise and later began to display signs of a possible concussion prior to being picked up by the parent. The caregiver also did not ensure that the director, who was still present at the time, was properly notified. The director was not made aware of the incident until after the child was picked up by the parent.

Corrected: May 2, 2025

Moderate Corrected

A caregiver did not comply with minimum standard rules regarding proper communication with the director and parents for more serious child injuries.

Corrected: May 2, 2025

Moderate Corrected

Corrected: May 5, 2025

A child was not accounted for and was left in the classroom between 5 to 10 minutes when the caregivers took the children to the playground.

One child who also attends public school did not have the school name or phone number included in the child's file.
