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 19, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding improper discipline. OCCL received a second complaint on July 23, 2024, regarding positive behavior supports. OCCL received a third complaint on July 31, 2024, regarding diaper changing procedures. An investigation was conducted on August 13, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate these complaints because Administrator #1 stated she has never witnessed Staff #1 kissing a child nor showing favoritism to specific children. Administrator #1 stated she did witness a child kissing Staff #1 s arm when she was rubbing her back to go to sleep. When interviewed, Staff #1 stated she does not kiss children, favor children, nor does she yell in their faces and belittle them. Staff #1 denies having known Child #1 had soiled her clothing. Staff #1 stated Child #1 was on antibiotics causing her to have more frequent, loose stools. Staff #1 stated she spoke with Child #1 and told her can tell a staff member any time she has to use the bathroom and Child #1 had told staff when she had to use the bathroom earlier in the day.
