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 April 13, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding a failure to follow policies and procedures for emergency medical care, including transportation, as well as concerns related to the care of children with unspecified short-term illnesses. An investigation was conducted on April 23, 2026. Based on the investigation, there is no evidence to substantiate the complaint for the failure to follow policies for routine and emergency health care. Licensing Specialist (LS) #1 reviewed a sample of children s files; all files contained documentation for emergency medical care and transportation authorization. Owner #1 reported making the decision to transport Child #1 to St. Francis Hospital due to its proximity, approximately two blocks from the facility. LS #1 confirmed the hospital s close proximity, which is visible from the facility parking lot. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint for the allegation of inadequate observation and supervision. Staff #1 and Owner #1 reported Child #1 remained under the supervision of Staff #1 or Staff #2 at all times, including during transitions to the playground. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint for the allegation related to care of unspecified short-term illnesses. The information provided to Staff #1 at drop-off indicated Child #1 had limited sleep the previous night, with no indication of illness. Staff #1 reported concern arose around lunchtime when Child #1 s behavior appeared uncharacteristic, prompting consultation with Owner #1.
