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.
“Submit parents right to know log to OCCL.”
“Ensure child files are complete. Submit mat permission for Children #1 and 2. Submit health appraisal with immunizations and infant feeding schedule for Child #3.”
“Submit fire drill for the month of June to OCCL.”

“On January 15, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding concerns of improper discipline, not meeting the meal pattern requirements, and the menu not matching the food served. This complaint is Substantiated for not meeting the meal pattern requirements and the menu not matching the food served, as [name withheld] admitted to serving Child #1 snacks, instead of serving the meal prepared for the rest of the children without written parental permission or a list of foods to substitute. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for improper discipline as [name withheld] denied all allegations and stated she would never curse at or hit a child. The children present at this visit were not old enough to be interviewed.”
