Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Indoor Space, Cited in Two Visits

    OCCL licensing staff cited 49U in April 2023 and April 2024. The agency describes it this way: Indoor Space. 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

    Lesson Plans, Cited in Two Visits

    OCCL licensing staff cited 74U in April 2023 and April 2024. The agency describes it this way: Lesson Plans. 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 49U was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Indoor Space: cited in two visits, with no risk level published.

  2. 02

    What changed after 74U was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Lesson Plans: cited in two visits, with no risk level published.

  3. 03

    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.

  4. 04

    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.

Investigation conclusions
Published by OCCL but left out of this record because they can describe children and staff.

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.
