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.
OCCL received a complaint on February 23, 2022, regarding not following accident injury procedures, and possible lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on March 1, 2022. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint because the center was aware of all incidents that were mentioned, had documentation to show what happened, and showed the parents were notified. A concern noted was the center did not maintain proper staff-to-child ratios when Ms. Mumford left the infant/toddler classroom to serve lunch.
