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 December 15, 2022, a complaint was called into the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line, and the Institutional Abuse Unit (IAU) accepted the complaint for investigation. The complaint was sent to the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) after business hours on December 15, 2022, and OCCL accepted the complaint for investigation on December 19, 2022, regarding improper discipline. On January 6, 2023, the IAU discontinued their investigation after numerous attempts were made to contact Parent #1 and regain her cooperation with negative results. An investigation was conducted on January 17, 2023, and January 19, 2023. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint of improper discipline. The staff interviewed reported they have never hurt a child in any way, and the owner denied pinching a specific child. The owner reported a staff member held the child on his lap during circle time only to prevent the child from leaving the classroom and center. The owner also stated the responding officer from Wilmington Police Department (WPD) viewed video footage of the incident and said he could not see a pinching motion on the camera, and nothing criminal occurred.
