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.

Staff #1 stated they left their classroom alone for a few seconds to answer the front door. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for disrespectful communication because based on staff interviews, staff denied being disrespectful to Parent #1. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not following center termination of care policy because based on staff interviews, the center did not terminate Child #1 s care. An additional concern noted was Administrator #1 was signed into a classroom when, according to staff interviews, they were in the kitchen at the same time.
