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 July 27, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding not following policies regarding expulsion or suspension, and staff not speaking respectfully to others. An investigation was conducted on August 5, 2026. According to documentation and staff interviews, this complaint is substantiated for not following policies regarding expulsion or suspension. Though the provider referenced a policy that children cannot stay at the child care past 11:00 p.m. and it was grounds for termination of care, this policy was not included in the parent handbook. Based on documentation and staff interviews, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for disrespectful communication. All staff interviewed stated the provider was not disrespectful and text messages that were reviewed were not disrespectful in nature.

A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
OCCL s investigation of regulatory non-compliance began after clearance from other agencies was received. On March 4, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on October 1, 2025, after receiving clearance from other agencies. Based on information received from outside agencies, and staff interviews and observations, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of supervision. Although staff interviewed stated Staff #1 was at times alone with children, Staff #1 was qualified to do so, and staff members had no concerns about Staff #1 s interactions with children. Observations of the facility noted that there was no door between the classroom and the kitchen so it would be unlikely Staff #1 would have privacy with a child in the kitchen away from other children and staff.

A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
Between March 26, 2024, and April 2, 2024, four complaints were received, three of which were called into the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line and were not accepted for investigation by the Institutional Abuse Unit (IAU). The first three complaints were sent to the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) and accepted for investigation on March 26, 2023, and the fourth complaint was associated with this complaint on April 2, 2024. All four complaints received were regarding concerns of improper discipline and lack of respectful communication with a parent. This complaint is substantiated for lack of respectful communication based on the verbal altercation LS Daffern heard on the phone between Ms. Sampson and Parent #1, including use of vulgar language in front of a child. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for improper discipline based on in-person staff interviews conducted and a telephone interview with one staff member. Staff members interviewed stated Staff #1 was redirecting Child #1 and Child #1 went limp, causing Staff #1 to accidentally scratch Child #1 as she fell. Ms. Sampson and Staff #1 stated an accident report was filled out regarding the incident and a meeting was offered to Parent #1. Non-Compliance cited: Reg # 18: Ensure a licensee and staff members teach by example by always being respectful when communicating with families.

On March 22, 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 March 22, 2024, and accepted it for investigation regarding improper discipline, not following transportation policies, lack of respectful communication with a parent, and not following meal requirements. An investigation was conducted on March 26, 2024. This complaint is substantiated for improper discipline based on interviews conducted. Ms. Sampson stated she grabbed a child and used a strong tone with the child to redirect them while transporting them. This complaint is substantiated for not following transportation policies because formal contracts for transportation arrangements with signed parent s permission were not completed prior to beginning transporting children to and from the facility. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of respectful communication with a parent based on staff interviews conducted. Staff members interviewed stated all staff use respectful communication when speaking with families. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not following meal requirements based on staff interviews, observation of food in the kitchen, and observation of the menus from the City of Wilmington Parks and Recreation. Non-Compliance cited: Reg #18 A licensee shall ensure yelling, frightening, or grabbing children is prohibited, and staff members shall give directions in a clear, non-threatening manner. Ms. Sampson stated she grabbed and yelled at Child #2 when transporting Child #2. Non-Compliance cited: Reg#46 A licensee shall document transportation arrangements with the parent or guardian including the pickup and drop-off times when driving a child to and from the child's school.
