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 September 26, 2022, OCCL received a complaint regarding improper staff-to-child ratios, mixing of age groups, not having sufficient staff, and allowing children in the kitchen while making meals. An investigation was conducted on September 28, 2022. The complaint is substantiated for not having sufficient staff to operate the center because during the visit there were 11 children present with two staff and Ms. Davis stated she did not have any additional staff. There is no evidence to substantiate the center being out of ratio or improper mixing age groups of children because attendance records showed ratios were being maintained. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of children being in the kitchen while meals are made because Ms. Davis denied allowing the children into the kitchen. A concern noted was a lack of supervision, due to Ms. Davis stating she has the children sit in the hallway at the door of the kitchen, while she prepares meals.
