Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Parents Right to Know, Cited in Two Visits

    OCCL licensing staff cited 38U in April 2024 and October 2025. The agency describes it this way: Parents Right to Know. 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

    License Renewal, Cited in Two Visits

    OCCL licensing staff cited 8U in October 2024 and October 2025. The agency describes it this way: License Renewal. 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.

    Personnel Files, No Recorded Correction

    30U was cited in April 2024, October 2024, October 2025 and October 2026. The agency describes it this way: Personnel Files. Delaware does not publish a risk level for each citation. The October 2026 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “Marked corrected; no correction date recorded.” The record does not show whether the problem was fixed.

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 38U was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Parents Right to Know: cited in two visits, with no risk level published.

  2. 02

    What changed after 8U was cited, and how do you check it now?

    License Renewal: cited in two visits, with no risk level published.

  3. 03

    What changed after 30U was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Personnel Files: cited in four visits, with no risk level published. The October 14, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.

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

    Child Files: cited in four visits, with no risk level published. The October 14, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.

  5. 05

    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.

  6. 06

    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.
