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 November 6, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding lack of supervision, disrespectful communication, and not following center termination of care policy. An investigation was begun on November 8, 2024, and concluded on November 25, 2024. This complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision based on staff interviews. Staff #1 stated they left their classroom alone for a few seconds to answer the front door. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for disrespectful communication because based on staff interviews, staff denied being disrespectful to Parent #1. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not following center termination of care policy because based on staff interviews, the center did not terminate Child #1 s care. An additional concern noted was Administrator #1 was signed into a classroom when, according to staff interviews, they were in the kitchen at the same time.”

An investigation began on March 28, 2023, and ended on April 19, 2023.
