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 air fresheners and scented waxes are not used while children are in care. An air freshener was observed in the bathroom and a wax warmer that was turned on with scented wax was observed in the living room. This was corrected at the visit when the air freshener was removed and the warmer turned off.”
“Ensure a non-porous surface is used for diaper changes. This was corrected at the visit when the ripped changing pad was replaced with a brand new one. Ensure a foot-activated diaper pail is used for diapering. Purchase a new foot-activated diaper pail.”
“Ensure diaper creams are labeled with the child's name. This was corrected at the visit when the creams were labeled. Ensure a Medication Administration Record (MAR) is completed for each medication, including diaper creams. This was corrected at the visit when the parent, who was present at the visit, completed and signed two MAR's for diaper creams.”
“Ensure first aid certification remains current and training is completed every two years. Complete first aid training.”
“Ensure a monthly feeding form is updated each month.”
“Ensure a diaper pail liner is used in the diaper pail that has operable foot operation. Provide a diaper changing pad that is free from tears.”
“On January 17, 2023, the Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint regarding accident and injury procedures and lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on February 20, 2023. This complaint is substantiated for improper accident and injury procedures because the incident was not documented on an accident injury form, a parent was not notified after medical attention was given for a face injury, and the parent was not provided an accident and injury report within one business day. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint for lack of supervision because [name withheld] stated she was seated on the living room floor caring for the infant approximately three feet from the room with the two children occupied in her view. During the visit, [name withheld] maintained supervision of the children in her care.”
“LS observed a folding cherry wood and metal gate not affixed to the wall with feet. This type of barrier is prohibited due to pinch point in the folding.”
