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 March 24, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding incorrect staff-to-child ratios. Based on observations of classrooms, interviews with staff, and a review of attendance records, this complaint is substantiated for incorrect staff-to-child ratios. LS #1 observed three classrooms out of correct staff-to child ratio while conducting the investigation. LS #1 reviewed documents showing four classrooms had incorrect staff-to-child ratios earlier that day. Five staff members interviewed stated they were out of ratio that day. An additional concern noted during this visit was two staff members working with children who were not eligible and one additional staff member not qualified to be in the classroom alone.
