What Happened
Complaint investigation substantiated that two staff members lacked criminal record clearance because they had not been given the correct Livescan form when fingerprinted, yet were allowed to work at the daycare. The report notes this was cited as a Type A criminal record clearance violation with a $1,000 civil penalty. A separate allegation about the licensee not being present 80% of the time was unsubstantiated.
