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.

Ensure supervision and staff-to-child ratio is maintained. LS Sommer observed one staff inside the cafeteria with 21 children while another staff took the remaining seven children to the bathroom. As the children finished using the bathroom, they were not staying with the staff member and continued to enter the cafeteria adding to the improper staff-to-child ratio. This was discussed and corrected when all staff and children were together in the cafeteria.

Ensure staff-to-child ratio and supervision are maintained at all times. LS Sommer observed children going to the bathroom alone by leaving the cafeteria. Staff stated they thought standing in the doorway between the cafeteria and hallway would allow supervision. LS Sommer explained the doorway is a threshold and when children or staff cross it, it affects the staff-to-child ratio and supervision. This was corrected when a group of children were taken to the bathroom by a qualified staff, leaving a second staff member alone with 15 children.
