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 April 27, 2023, a complaint was called into the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line and accepted for investigation by the Institutional Abuse Unit (IAU). It was sent to the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) on April 27, 2023, and screened in for improper discipline, not providing an accident/injury report, not following the pick-up policy, lack of attendance records, and inadequate staff. On May 23, 2023, IAU notified OCCL that the complaint report was abridged and would not be investigated. An OCCL investigation was conducted on May 25, 2023. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for improper discipline or failure to provide an accident/injury report because Ms. Harris, the staff member working in the one-year-old classroom, stated she was not aware of the injury. Ms. Harris stated the staff member alleged to have injured the child has never worked in the one-year-old classroom. There is no evidence to substantiate not following the pick-up policy as the licensing specialist was also able to observe the center following the pick-up policy during this visit. There is also no evidence to substantiate inadequate staffing, improper attendance records, or improper staff-to-child ratios because the center had sufficient qualified staff present to maintain the correct staff-to-child ratios and the attendance records were completed correctly for the date of the visit and all dates from the previous week.

A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
OCCL received a complaint on June 9, 2022, regarding an employee using her phone, when she was supposed to be caring for children resulting in a lack of supervision. This complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision because according to staff members who were interviewed and the information provided by staff members at the park location, teachers have had difficulties keeping the children away from the front gate entrance that is near the street, and have had to stop children who ran away from the field area towards the dock.
A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
On May 17, 2022, a report was made to OCCL in regards to staff yelling at children in care, and expired food being served to children at the center. An investigation began May 20, 2022, and concluded May 25, 2022. All staff interviewed stated they never observed staff at the center yelling at children. This complaint is substantiated for the center serving expired food because expired food was found on the kitchen shelves, in the kitchen cabinet, and in the refrigerator. Additional concerns noted were the kitchen had black mold under the sink and on the floors. The base cabinet under the sink appeared very damp and was filled with clutter. There were multiple damp marks on ceiling tiles and areas of the kitchen floor tiles were broken. The kitchen floors, walls, and storage areas were dirty.
