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.
The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on October 21, 2022, regarding lack of supervision, staff shortage, and unqualified staff in classrooms. An investigation was conducted on October 21, 2022. This complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision because a child was able to exit the gymnasium side door unnoticed by staff, and was observed by a passerby in the parking lot next to a high-traffic road in front of the facility. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for insufficient staff because each classroom was in ratio and had additional staff throughout the day. This is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for unqualified staff in classrooms because it was observed and documented no unqualified staff were alone with children and all unqualified staff are currently enrolled in the CDA program.
