Context

Patterns Worth Examining

A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.

  1. 1

    Outdoor Area, Cited in Three Visits

    OCCL licensing staff cited 53U in November 2022, November 2023 and November 2025. The agency describes it this way: Outdoor Area. Delaware does not publish a risk level for each citation. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

  2. 2

    Child Files, Cited in Two Visits

    OCCL licensing staff cited 40U in November 2022 and November 2023. The agency describes it this way: Child Files. Delaware does not publish a risk level for each citation. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

  3. 3

    Kitchen and Food Preparation, Cited in Two Visits

    OCCL licensing staff cited 50U in November 2023 and November 2025. The agency describes it this way: Kitchen and Food Preparation. Delaware does not publish a risk level for each citation. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

For Your Next Visit

Questions to Ask on Your Visit

Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.

  1. 01

    What changed after 53U was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Outdoor Area: cited in three visits, with no risk level published.

  2. 02

    What changed after 40U was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Child Files: cited in two visits, with no risk level published.

  3. 03

    What changed after 50U was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Kitchen and Food Preparation: cited in two visits, with no risk level published.

  4. 04

    What is the ratio in the room my child would join, and how is every child accounted for at nap time, pickup and on the playground?

    Ratios change through the day, so they are worth counting yourself on a visit.

  5. 05

    Has the center ever been on probation or had its license suspended, and what changed afterward?

    OCCL’s files list no enforcement action in this window.

Coverage

Record windowNovember 1, 2021 – November 1, 2026

  • This record is OCCL's list of licensed providers as of November 2026, with the compliance reviews and investigations in OCCL's files, which run from November 2021.
  • OCCL's compliance-review file lists only visits at which it cited a regulation; a visit with nothing cited is not in it, so a program may have had more visits than this record shows.
  • OCCL's notes on each citation and its written conclusion for each investigation are left out because they can describe children and staff; the regulation cited, the correction date and each investigation's result are kept.
  • Special conditions OCCL records on a license (a variance, or that a home is also a foster home) are left out, and license-exempt care is not in OCCL's list.

What This Report Cannot Tell You

Visits with nothing cited
OCCL's compliance-review file lists only visits at which a regulation was cited.
Investigation conclusions
Published by OCCL but left out of this record because they can describe children and staff.
Severity of citations
OCCL's files do not grade citations.
Staff qualifications and turnover
Not part of the published licensing record.

Historical coverage varies by agency and location. Missing records do not mean that no complaint or violation occurred.

Data architecture: Cierto supplies the source-backed machine-readable bundle. Life by Vardell independently creates the narrative, design, and consumer report.
