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 July 18, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of lack of supervision. An unannounced visit was conducted on July 24, 2025. This complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision due to the staff member being unable to give timely attention to the children s actions and calling for assistance rather than removing the children from the potentially hazardous situation. An additional concern noted during this investigation was the conflicting statements from Administrator #1 regarding how the children returned to the playground. When asked, Administrator #1 stated Child #1 and Child #2 saw Adult #1 s dog after escaping from the playground and got scared, which is why they returned. However, in the camera footage provided, Adult #1 is seen redirecting Child #1 and Child #2 to the enclosure. Additionally, Staff #1 was seen grabbing Child #1 s arm roughly and lifting them up after they returned to the playground after the first escape.
