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 September 29, 2023, regarding discrimination. An investigation was conducted on October 5, 2023. This complaint is substantiated because the administrator informed the parent of the company's policy and practices, requiring any child enrolling in the one-year-old classroom to be confidently walking. The administrator stated while talking to the parent she let the parent know the children would require infant care as they are not yet walking, and unfortunately the infant rooms did not have an opening. The Americans with Disabilities Act and Delaware Equal Accommodations Law require reasonable accommodations in an age-appropriate environment unless doing so would cause undue hardship. An undue hardship means that a specific accommodation would require significant difficulty or expense. This determination, which must be made on a case-by-case basis, considers factors such as the nature and cost of the accommodation needed, and the impact of the accommodation on the operations not only to financial difficulty, but to reasonable accommodations that are unduly extensive, substantial, or disruptive, or those that would fundamentally alter the nature or operations of the business. The administrator did not make an informed decision based on the specific needs of these children and any accommodation that might be possible but stated the company policy for all children and did not determine if the specific needs of these children would require a fundamental alteration of their program.
