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 s investigation of regulatory non-compliance began after clearance from other agencies was received. On December 12, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of a firearm present within the center s premises and not understanding the needs of children. An investigation was begun on March 11, 2025, and concluded on March 21, 2025. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for having a firearm present within the center s premises. According to staff interviews, no one was aware of or saw a staff member with a firearm on the premises at any time. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not understanding the needs of children according to staff interviews as staff had no concerns about Staff #1 s behavior or interactions with children. Additional concerns noted were incomplete staff and child attendance records, not having a full staff file for a staff member and allowing a staff member who was under the age of fifteen to work. Staff and child attendance records provided were not accurate or complete. Fifteen out of 18 days did not include sign-out times for any children and staff attendance could not be provided showing which staff were supervising which children during the programming time. When requested, there was no staff file or information for Staff #1 at the center as required. According to DELACARE Regulations, A school-age aide may be 15 years old if attending a high school early childhood education program and enrollment documentation is on file at the center. Staff #1 was determined to be fourteen at the time of the alleged incident and had no documentation on file at the center as required.
