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.

Visits and investigations, newest first
A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
On July 14, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint alleging not following the complaint policy, mixing of ages with 10 or more children present, and meals and snacks. An investigation was conducted on July 16, 2016. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint of not following the complaint policy because the provider tried to meet with Parent #1, who would not accept the date due to a scheduling conflict for the additional non-parent/guardian Parent #1 wanted at the meeting. When the meeting was held, Parent #1 did not address all the concerns and did not explain why. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of mixing age groups because the policy in the handbook was followed by transitioning two times a year, and attendance reflected that the age groups are separated upon opening. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation that meals and snacks did not have the proper components or amount because the menu states the amount for each age group, and staff stated that there is always plenty of food for the children if they need more.

A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
On May 14, 2025, and May 15, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received two complaints regarding not meeting the needs of the children, not providing truthful information, not providing an infant daily log, confidentiality, not allowing breastfeeding, and not completing incident reports. An investigation was conducted on May 21, 2025. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because staff members interviewed stated they conduct diaper checks hourly, change a child if they are wet or dirty, and their daily logs match when they change diapers. Administrator #1 stated breastfeeding or pumping is welcome at the center, but a parent, who is also a staff member, needs to provide a breastfeeding schedule to ensure the classroom complies with the staff-to-child ratio. Additionally, Administrator #1 stated she or her staff did not breach confidentiality, but if a parent has a concern, she will address the concern with all her staff. Administrator #1 and staff members denied the allegation of not providing truthful information to parents and stated children enrolled in the center receive a daily update via the Tadpole app. While there is no evidence to substantiate not completing incident reports, a concern noted was the incident report from the Tadpole app does not reflect when the parent was informed of a serious injury, when a call was made to the parent, and did not have parent signatures.

The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on September 26, 2023, regarding rodent infestation. An investigation was conducted on October 4, 2023.
