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 18, 2023, a complaint was called into the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line and was not accepted for investigation by the Institutional Abuse Unit (IAU). It was sent to the Office of Child Care Licensing on December 18, 2023, and accepted for investigation for not using behavioral supports to intervene quickly to ensure a child's safety, not informing parents of significant incidents involving the child, and not maintaining proper temperature in the building. Based on the results of this investigation there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because this specialist observed video footage of Staff #1 immediately attending to Child #1 after having her hair pulled by another child. The center administrator provided this specialist with an accident injury report which was provided to the family member who picked Child #1 up from care. Also, the licensing specialists walked through each classroom in the center and found each classroom to be an appropriate temperature.
