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.
The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on June 16, 2026, regarding concerns of lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on July 1, 2026, which included interviews with Owner #1 and Administrator #1 and observation of the facility's restroom supervision practices. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint regarding lack of supervision. Information obtained during the investigation showed staff supervised children while they used the restroom from a designated location outside the restroom with the door open, allowing staff to observe the inside of the restroom and hear the children. While this interaction was not observed at the time it happened, staff interviewed recalled when Child #1 and Child #2 were in the restroom and stated they were supervising the restroom at the time. Staff interviewed stated Child #1 did not alert any staff this had occurred and did not appear upset.
