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.

“On April 27, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of improper staff-to-child ratio requirements, exceeding maximum group size requirements, and inadequate supervision during naptime due to a staff member sleeping while assigned caregiving responsibilities. Based on the investigation, including staff interviews and review of documentation, this complaint is substantiated for improper staff-to-child ratio requirements. Licensing Specialist (LS) #1 reviewed two weeks of attendance records and identified two instances of a classroom operating out of staff-to-child ratio and three instances of children being signed into a classroom with no staff signed in. This complaint is also substantiated for inadequate supervision during naptime. LS #1 interviewed four staff members separately, and three staff members reported observing a specific staff member sleeping during naptime while assigned caregiving responsibilities. An additional concern identified during the investigation involved inaccuracies in child and staff attendance documentation. LS #1 reviewed two weeks of attendance records and identified approximately fifteen documentation discrepancies related to child attendance records and staff attendance records. These discrepancies include staff or children not being signed in or out of classrooms as required.”

The owners at the center stated they did not complete an accident/ injury report for November 14, 2025, because they did not see the object in the nose and this incident began at home.”
