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 9, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding not notifying parents of critical incidents as required in the handbook. An investigation was conducted on July 16, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because the center notified the parents via text-to-speech of the late arrival at 3:53 pm and provided documentation of the notification. A concern noted during this investigation was a child fell and scraped their face. However, staff did not complete a written accident or injury report or document the parent/ guardian was notified of an injury to a child s face or head.
A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
On July 7, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding improper staff- to-child ratios and not following procedures from the parent handbook. An investigation was conducted on July 16, 2026. This complaint is substantiated because Staff #5 observed Child #2 brushing against Child #1 in an aggressive manner and verbally inciting Child #1. Staff #5 did not report or document the incident. Furthermore, Administrator #1, Staff #1 and Staff #2 did not follow the program s policy regarding positive behavior supports and reporting accidents or critical incidents involving a child and important information regarding a child. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of improper staff-to-child ratio because attendance records showed staff-to-child ratio was followed.
