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 June 9, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding not following the menu and not cutting food. An investigation was conducted on June 16, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate for the center failing to follow its posted menu or that food was not prepared in an age-appropriate manner. During the investigation, staff reported that the grapes referenced in the complaint were provided for a parent event and were not served by the center to children. Staff consistently stated that foods presenting potential choking hazards are modified and prepared according to the age and developmental needs of the children. Staff also reported that menu substitutions are documented when changes occur. Additionally, Licensing Specialist #1 observed the posted menu was being followed and found it to be consistent with required meal pattern standards.
