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.

Visits and investigations, newest first
A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
On October 1, 2026, the Office of Child Care licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding failing to follow policies for video recording and reporting information relating to a child, using inappropriate behavior supports, and incorrect staff-to-child ratio. An investigation was conducted on October 7, 2026. Based on staff interviews, video, and documents reviewed there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for failing to follow policies for video recording and reporting information relating to the child. Owner #1 stated all families review the parent handbook and sign off that it has been reviewed. Owner #1 and the parent handbook stated parents must put in writing if they do not want their child being photographed or videoed in the facility, whether by cell phone or facility cameras. LS #1 reviewed an incident report from September 2, 2026, and the facility contacted the parent to discuss the incident on September 18, 2026. Based on staff interviews, video, and documents reviewed there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for using inappropriate behavior supports. Owner #1, Staff #1, and Staff #2 stated they have never withheld food as means of discipline. Owner #1 stated they walked around outside with Child #1 during outdoor play time because of the behaviors Child #1 exhibited toward staff and other children. Based on staff interviews and documents reviewed there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for incorrect staff-to-child ratio. Staff members stated they have not been out of correct staff-to-child ratio, which was confirmed by a review of attendance documentation.
