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.
The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on October 6, 2022, alleging lack of supervision. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because based on staff interviews all staff members were involved with the children and were actively supervising. Child #1 was not told to go in the pool without a life jacket but chose to enter the pool when told she was permitted to do so. When she emerged on her own and seemed upset she only expressed to staff she did not like the splashing and commotion. She did not drop to the bottom of the pool to need to have someone help her up.
