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.
A complaint was received on May 2, 2022, regarding an allegation of discrimination because the program stated they could not enroll a child because he is not potty trained and their school-age program does not provide diaper-changing services. An investigation was started on May 2, 2022. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because according to the commonly asked questions about child care centers and the Americans with Disabilities Act, it is not a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act because the center does not have diaper-changing stations or staff to assist with diaper changing.
