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.

“The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on September 29, 2023, regarding discrimination. An investigation was conducted on October 5, 2023. This complaint is substantiated because the administrator informed the parent of the company's policy and practices, requiring any child enrolling in the one-year-old classroom to be confidently walking. The administrator stated while talking to the parent she let the parent know the children would require infant care as they are not yet walking, and unfortunately the infant rooms did not have an opening. The Americans with Disabilities Act and Delaware Equal Accommodations Law require reasonable accommodations in an age-appropriate environment unless doing so would cause undue hardship. An undue hardship means that a specific accommodation would require significant difficulty or expense. This determination, which must be made on a case-by-case basis, considers factors such as the nature and cost of the accommodation needed, and the impact of the accommodation on the operations not only to financial difficulty, but to reasonable accommodations that are unduly extensive, substantial, or disruptive, or those that would fundamentally alter the nature or operations of the business. The administrator did not make an informed decision based on the specific needs of these children and any accommodation that might be possible but stated the company policy for all children and did not determine if the specific needs of these children would require a fundamental alteration of their program.”
