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.
A complaint was received on February 7, 2022, regarding the allegations that Staff #1 was forcing children to sit in time-out for all periods of time and forcing children to stand while eating as a punishment. The complaint also alleged that the center was not providing enough food for the children throughout the day. An unannounced visit was conducted on February 11, 2022, to investigate the complaint. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint because the staff members and children who were interviewed stated that problems are talked through and worked out together. LS Romanelli was also able to observe Staff #1 discussing the proper use of a chair and LS Romanelli witnessed the ease in which the children responded during this discussion. LS Romanelli was able to observe lunch time. The appropriate amount of food was served to the children and seconds was available if a child had asked for more. LS Romanelli spoke with four of the children in the classroom and all four stated that they got along and play with each other. Child #1 stated he would sometimes play by himself, but did not state why this occurred. Child #3 also stated that he did not always want to play with Child #1, but did not give a reason why.

Ms. Moore stated they have no concern with Staff #1 s interactions with other staff members, parents, or the children. Ms. Moore stated the administrator has had a few interactions with Staff #1, but nothing that has escalated to a confrontation in the center. Staff #1 and Ms. Moore both stated that Child #1 has never been placed in the corner, but does complete activities at a table by himself sometimes because the other children do not want to interact with him.

There is an area in the back of the center that has been closed off due to a roof leak, but no evidence of mold or mildew was present.
