No, it was "self reported". This means the center itself reported the incident to licensing. This is generally viewed more favorably then if a parent or other person reports.

Well, this is good. We have been with LAA for a couple years now and I've always felt that they have been very on top of dealing with any little incident that arises.

don't see how this incident can be considered little or good! it's good that the center caught it and notified authorities but not good that it happened and parents weren't notified.

Yes, I don't understand why we were notified of the incident. Does anyone know the policy regarding this.

Pp- weren't*

I suspect that the only person who would be notified would be the parents of the child involved.

I don't see why other families would be notified. They handled the problem.

The director is too busy threatening to sue Jeff

Although I don't doubt Jeff, that does surprise me. Not really the owner's style...

I think it is brave to report your own facility to the county when you know that they report will live forever. LAA also took quick, decisive, appropriate action.

OP: I think you will be pleased with LAA if you decide to send your 2-yr old there. Good that you are thinking about this now. preschool in ARL is difficult to find.

I love how all the positive responses are clearly from either the director or an employee.

Why would you feel the need to be notified? The school learned of it, reported it, fired the person who did it and did refresher training for their other employees. Unless it was your child, what are you going to do about it? And if it was your child, would you really want the whole school gossiping about it? I'm sure if the parents of the child in the video were unhappy with LAA's response, you all would have heard about it by now.

Actually the notification of violation should be posted physically at the school in a location that is accessible and visible to parents. Not posting the notification in such a manner is itself a licensing violation.

Posting the violation... Is that required in Arlington? Because it's not in DC.... (director of centers in DC here) but I do not know regs in VA or Arlington.

It's definitely a VA rqmt. I'm not sure if it is also a separate Arlington rqmt, but I want to say yes- our center has them posted.

OSSE doesn't exactly value transparency. Of course they aren't going to make you post violations when they don't even make those reports readily available (filing a foia request is an absurd requirement to obtain those reports). Also, OSSE doesn't even complete written reports for all violations. I filed a complaint about something they admitted was a violation of DC regulations and they didn't create any sort of written report because the center changed their policy. That would never happen in Virginia.

Do you have actual knowledge of whether they posted it or not?

I'm a parent of a 4 year old at LAA and nothing has been posted regarding this.
