Inspection history
Source: Delaware Office of Child Care LicensingRecords 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.

Violations
Text reproduced verbatim · Delaware Office of Child Care LicensingNearly 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.
Class is our grouping of the state’s own weights, reviewed per state. The agency’s own label is always shown beside it.
“Ensure walls are in good repair and cleanable. Repair the holes in the wall in the Pre-K 5 Classroom. Repair the bathroom sink in the three-year-old classroom so it is cleanable. Ensure equipment is in good repair. Repair the flickering light in the Pre-K 5 Classroom.”
“Ensure Medication Administration Records (MARs) are obtained and kept for all medication on-site. One child needs a MAR for Children's Advil. Upon discussion with staff, the child is no longer taking the medication, and the MAR may have been discarded, but the medication was not returned to the family.”
“Submit current general liability insurance.”
“Ensure staff files are complete. Two staff members need adult health appraisals. One staff member needs TB results. Three staff members need annual review of abuse and neglect.”
“Ensure staff attendance is documented with exact hours worked upon arrival and departure in each classroom or area. One staff member was not signed into Toddler 1 classroom. Three staff members were not signed into the five-year-old classroom. One staff member was not signed out of the school-age classroom. One staff member was signed in the Toddler 2 classroom but not present. According to staff, she stepped out to make a phone call. This was discussed and corrected when the attendance errors were corrected.”
“Ensure walls are cleanable and in good repair. Repair the wall near the sink in the men's bathroom located in the cafeteria. Ensure all areas are in safe condition. Repair the frayed carpet in the five-year-old classroom. Ensure the water temperature is at or below 120 degrees F at hand washing sinks. The sink in Toddler 1 classroom water temperature was 123 degrees F and the sink in the five-year-old classroom water temperature was 124 degrees F. Lower the temperature setting on the water heater.”
“Ensure the gates in the outdoor play area are self-closing and self-latching. The self-latching mechanism on the gate leading to the school-age outdoor play area is broken. Repair or replace the mechanism. Ensure fall zone requirements are met and under all equipment when children's feet leave the ground and swings. The equipment in the infant/toddler outdoor play area has turf under them. Turf is not an approved fall zone material. Remove the equipment where children's feet leave the ground or place an approved fall zone under the equipment.”
“Ensure the renewal application is submitted at least 60 days prior to the license expiration.”
“Ensure direct supervision is provided at all times. A school-age child was observed leaving his classroom to use the bathroom located in the hallway, unattended. This was discussed with staff and corrected when they agreed to comply in the future.”
“Ensure staff files are complete. One staff member needs an adult health appraisal.”
