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.
On December 27, 2023, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding incorrect ratios between the hours of 3:30 pm 5:00 pm. Based on staff interviews, observations, and documentation received, this complaint is substantiated for exceeding maximum group size because at the time of the visit, the number and age of children in the multipurpose room exceeded the maximum group size. The center quickly updated and educated staff about the new schedule.
