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 December 10, 2022, a complaint was called into the Report Line and not accepted for investigation by the Institutional Abuse Unit. It was sent to the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) on December 12, 2022, and accepted for investigation regarding improper discipline. This complaint was also self-reported to OCCL and law enforcement. OCCL received clearance from law enforcement to investigate the complaint on January 5, 2023. An investigation was conducted on January 10, 2023. The complaint is substantiated for improper discipline because the administrators reviewed video footage when the incident was brought to their attention and confirmed the staff roughly handled the child. The administrators took immediate action. The staff was immediately suspended and subsequently terminated from employment at the center.
