How to read this record
A compliance visit is a licensing visit by an OCCL specialist. When the specialist finds a regulation has not been met, the visit record carries a citation: the regulation's code and short description, the specialist's corrective-action note describing what was found, and the correction record — the date correction was due, whether the state has marked it completed, the date it was corrected, and how. A complaint investigation begins with a complaint; its record carries the state's result and the investigator's written conclusion. Delaware does not grade citations by risk or severity, so no grade is shown — the specialist's note is the substance of the record. One visit can produce several citations. A citation the state later records as corrected stays in the history; that is what a licensing record is.

A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
A complaint was received by the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line on January 17, 2024, and accepted for investigation by the Institutional Abuse Unit (IAU), but was then abridged on January 18, 2024, due to no child injury. The complaint was sent to OCCL and accepted for investigation regarding improper discipline. An investigation was conducted on January 24, 2024. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate this complaint because the owners and two staff denied the allegation. However, one staff stated the owner slapped a child across the face while he was sitting in his highchair and later informed OCCL that her employment had been terminated due to this incident. Additional concerns noted during the visit were the administrator left employment in November and OCCL was not notified, and the infant classroom and one-year-old classroom changed the outer barriers of the rooms without notifying OCCL.
