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.

The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on August 28, 2025, regarding not keeping the facility clean. An investigation was conducted on September 3, 2025. This complaint is substantiated because the Specialists smelled a foul odor and observed artificial flowers, floral foam, craft pliers, and a soiled diaper on the floor in the child care room. Trash was piled up and overflowing in the child care room. There were several flies in the room. Additional concerns noted were the kitchen was dirty and had uncovered, unlabeled, and expired food in the refrigerator. Outside there was a broken gate to the playground and trash piled up and overflowing. The Specialists observed an infant asleep in a dirty pack and play, with no bottom covering. Also, a blanket and toys were in the pack and play. Additionally, the provider was not truthful when asked if there were other children in care and daily attendance had not been documented for the day.
