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 April 5, 2024, a complaint was called into the Child Abuse and Neglect Report line and not accepted for investigation by the Institutional Abuse Unit (IAU). The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received the complaint on April 5, 2024, and accepted it for investigation regarding lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on April 11, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of supervision based on interviews with the Administrator and two staff members. Staff members interviewed stated children are always supervised while in the classroom and stated they were unaware of any incidents of a child being touched inappropriately while in care.
