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.

Visits and investigations, newest first
A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
OCCL s investigation of regulatory non-compliance began after clearance from other agencies was received. The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received two complaints on March 25, 2025, and March 28, 2025, regarding concerns of improper discipline and improper staff-to-child ratios. An investigation was conducted on March 27, 2025. This complaint is substantiated for improper staff-to-child ratios based on attendance records showing Provider #1 signed in alone with 12 total children on March 21, 2025. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for improper discipline based on the interviews with Provider #1 and other information received. A concern noted is that Provider #1 s attendance records and the attendance record for Purchase of Care differed, leading to concerns of both inaccurate attendance records and operating over permitted capacity. Three versions of attendance records were received: Purchase of Care (POC) records, Brightwheel Application records, and a written list of children present from Provider #1. On March 21, 2025, 16 different children s names were provided as being present. On March 24, 2025, 13 different children s names were provided as being present. Both dates, the facility would have been out of staff-to-child ratio and over the permitted capacity of 12.
1 regulation cited at this visit.
Child #1 needs blood lead screening.
