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 22, 2022, regarding unqualified staff alone with the children. An investigation was completed on February 28, 2022. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint because when paired together, the staff that were present are qualified to be with the children. There is an additional staff present three days per week. The staff also had a plan to address parent pick-ups and bathroom breaks for the children.
