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.

Visits and investigations, newest first
A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
On August 14, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of a lack of supervision. Based on interviews conducted, observations, and documentation collected, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of supervision. There were three staff members on the playground providing supervision to children. All staff members saw Child #1 get up off the ground after the fall and run to a staff member for assistance. Staff #3 attended to Child #1 s injury by taking Child #1 inside to the Administrator, who provided first aid, called 911, and Parent #1.
