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 (OCCL) received a complaint on January 9, 2026, regarding concerns of lack of supervision due to staff being inattentive to their classrooms, failure to use positive behavioral supports within the classrooms, and blocking exits in classrooms. An investigation was conducted on January 13, 2026. This complaint is substantiated for blocking exits in classrooms based on interviews conducted. While no blocked exit was observed at the time of the visit, Administrator #1 and two staff members stated an exit of a classroom was covered by furniture to prevent a child from running out of the facility. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of supervision due to staff being inattentive to their classrooms, based on interviews conducted and observations at the time of the visit. Administrator #1 and six staff members interviewed all stated they are attentive to children at all times. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for concerns of not following positive behavior supports, based on staff interviews conducted. Administrator #1 and six staff members all stated they have only observed appropriate positive behavior management within the facility and stated they only use appropriate behavior management support. Additional concerns were noted. In the review of attendance records from January 5, 2026, to January 9, 2026, staff members who are not qualified through DEEDS Early Learning were working alone with children on multiple occasions. A staff member was documented as working with children on multiple occasions without having received a comprehensive background check eligibility or provisional eligibility determination. In addition, attendance records were inaccurate, as there were several instances of staff not signing out of their classrooms from January 5, 2026, through January 9, 2026.
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 January 2, 2026, regarding concerns of not using appropriate behavior management, lack of supervision due to children being bitten, not following diapering procedures, and not following meal/snack requirements by allowing children to eat off the floor. An investigation was conducted on January 2, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of supervision, leading to excessive biting in classrooms based on interviews with eight staff members and observation of the classrooms. All staff interviewed stated they have not had any issues with recurring biting occurring in the classrooms. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for concerns of not following positive behavior supports, based on staff interviews conducted. Eight staff members were interviewed separately and stated they have only observed appropriate positive behavior management within the facility and stated they only use appropriate behavior management support. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for concerns of not following diapering procedures based on staff interviews and observations of diaper changes. All staff members interviewed stated diapers are checked every hour, changed every two hours, or changed immediately if soiled. Observations of diaper changes show staff members following required diaper-changing procedures. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for concerns of not following meal/snack requirements by allowing children to eat off the floor based on staff interviews conducted. All staff members interviewed stated children do not eat off the floor. Two staff members stated when children go for food on the floor while meals or snacks are served, they redirect the children and discard fallen food. An additional concern noted in the review of attendance records from December 15, 2025, to December 19, 2025, were instances of staff-to-child ratios and staff memb ers who are not qualified through DEEDS Early Learning working alone with children on multiple occasions. Attendance records reflected seven total instances of classrooms either being over the staff-to-child ratio or having only staff members with no DEEDS Early Learning qualifications present with children. Staff members with no DEEDS Early Learning qualification were signed in and alone with two-year-old children for the entire week.

A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
A complaint was received on December 10, 2021, regarding improper discipline. An investigation was conducted on December 16, 2021. This complaint is substantiated because the administrator acknowledged she was given a video showing Staff #1 aggressively pulling a child towards her by the leg. An additional concern is that the previous curriculum coordinator has not been employed at the facility since at least December 6, 2021, and OCCL was not informed.
