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 May 2, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding not following accident and injury procedures. An investigation was conducted on May 2, 2024. This complaint is substantiated because although staff were unaware of scratches occurring on Child #1 s torso, the accident/injury report for a separate injury occurring on the same day for this child was not signed by the parent/guardian. Other concerns noted was a lack of paper towels or hand dryer in the toilet room for children to dry their hands and the center s front door was unlocked, allowing anyone to enter the building without proper security procedures. Non-compliance Cited: Reg #49: Ensure security procedures are in place to limit access to children. When the licensing specialist arrived at the center, the front door was unlocked, allowing immediate access. This was corrected at the visit when the door was locked. Non-compliance Cited: Reg #51: Ensure paper towels or a mechanical hand dryer is available at all times in the toilet room to allow children to dry their hands. This was corrected at the visit when paper towels were added to the dispenser in the toilet room. Non-compliance Cited: Reg #64: Ensure accident/injury reports are completed entirely, including the parent/guardian signature and provide copy of signed report to the parent on the same day as the accident/injury. Submit all accident/injury reports to OCCL dated 5/6/2024 5/10/2024 to ensure they are in compliance.

A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on March 3, 2023, regarding lack of supervision, not following accident/injury procedures, and not providing positive behavior supports. An investigation was conducted on March 15, 2023. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because the owner denied telling a child s parent to have the child bite the biter back, the center receives support from a therapist to work with the biter, all the accident/injury reports submitted for review were complete, and the owner affirmed requirements regarding accidents/injuries are followed. A concern noted during the visit was there were not enough staff to fulfill, at a minimum, administrative, fiscal, clerical, cleaning, maintenance, food services, direct child care, and supervisory functions. Two staff members were present with 12 children. One staff member was present in a classroom with six children, and the other staff member was present in a different classroom with six children.
