Records held from Sep 27, 2021 onward. Earlier visits may exist in the agency’s own files.

Delaware publishes only visits where a regulation was cited, plus complaint investigations. Visits that found no violations do not appear in the state's data, so a gap between dates here does not mean the program went uninspected. Delaware does not publish a severity weight for its citations.

How to read violations

Nearly every licensed provider accumulates some. A missing signature and an unlocked medicine cabinet are both “violations”, and they are not the same thing. Look at the class, the pattern over time and how quickly it was corrected — not the count alone.

Paperwork — records, postings, forms Standard — supervision, ratio, training Health & safety — direct risk to a child

Class is our grouping of the state’s own weights, reviewed per state. The agency’s own label is always shown beside it.

Substantiated complaint

“On May 2, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding not following accident and injury procedures. An investigation was conducted on May 2, 2024. This complaint is substantiated because although staff were unaware of scratches occurring on Child #1 s torso, the accident/injury report for a separate injury occurring on the same day for this child was not signed by the parent/guardian. Other concerns noted was a lack of paper towels or hand dryer in the toilet room for children to dry their hands and the center s front door was unlocked, allowing anyone to enter the building without proper security procedures. Non-compliance Cited: Reg #49: Ensure security procedures are in place to limit access to children. When the licensing specialist arrived at the center, the front door was unlocked, allowing immediate access. This was corrected at the visit when the door was locked. Non-compliance Cited: Reg #51: Ensure paper towels or a mechanical hand dryer is available at all times in the toilet room to allow children to dry their hands. This was corrected at the visit when paper towels were added to the dispenser in the toilet room. Non-compliance Cited: Reg #64: Ensure accident/injury reports are completed entirely, including the parent/guardian signature and provide copy of signed report to the parent on the same day as the accident/injury. Submit all accident/injury reports to OCCL dated 5/6/2024 5/10/2024 to ensure they are in compliance.”
