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 September 26, 2022, OCCL received a complaint regarding infant daily logs, diapering, infant feeding, staff-to-child ratios, and not allowing parents or guardians in the building. An investigation was conducted on September 26, 2022. The complaint is substantiated for incomplete infant daily logs because BrightWheel and the wall were not updated with diapering, feeding, sleep times, and sleep checks. The complaint is substantiated for staff-to-child ratios because LS McPhatter observed two staff present in the building with six infants, one six-year-old, and one three-year-old. When the LFCCH has more than four infants, there must be three staff present. The complaint is substantiated for improper diapering procedures because diaper checks were not documented hourly, diaper changes were not recorded, and proper diapering procedures were not followed during the visit. The complaint is substantiated for improper infant feeding because there was no preparation time and date on the infant bottles and three infants were not being held or placed in a feeding chair to be fed. All staff denied giving juice to infants. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of not allowing parents in the facility because staff stated parents are allowed in the building.”
