The short answer
Record last released by Delaware Office of Child Care Licensing on Oct 23, 2026.
Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.
What these words mean4
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
- Licence status
- Whether the state’s licence lets the place operate now, in the state’s own words: licensed, on probation (allowed to keep operating on conditions, after problems), provisional, pending or expired. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.
- Capacity
- The most people the licence or certification lets the place care for at once: residents, children, beds or apartments, as the state counts them. It isn’t how many are there now. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.

Delaware Office of Child Care Licensing, Child Care Licensing Complaint Reviews and Licensed Child Care Providers and Facilities. Released Oct 23, 2026. Updated daily.
| Date | What | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Jul 27, 2026 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate with Concern | The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on July 2, 2026, regarding not using respectful communication among staff and a second complaint on July 12, 2026, regarding people being present at the center that do not work there. An investigation was conducted on July 13, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint for lack of respectful communication or outside people being present at the center based on staff interviews conducted. Administrator #1 and five staff members interviewed had no concerns with communication in the center and noted staff meetings are held throughout the year. Those interviewed also noted that only a HVAC company has been in the center, but not in the same area as children. This was verified on the center s visitor log. A lack of complete and accurate attendance records is a concern noted during the visit. The infant room had no attendance record completed for the day. The toddler and two s classroom did not accurately reflect the children combined in one location for nap time. Findings: Based on the results of the investigation, this complaint was: No Evidence to Substantiate with Concern. |
| Jan 20, 2026 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | On December 11 and 12, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received two complaints regarding concerns of improper staff-to-child ratio, lack of supervision, and use of cell phones while caring for children. An unannounced visit was conducted on December 23, 2025. On January 6, 2026, a follow-up unannounced visit was conducted. This complaint is substantiated for improper staff-to-child ratio and exceeding maximum group size because upon arrival on December 11, 2025, there were 22 children ranging in age from infants to preschool-age gathered in one classroom. This complaint is also substantiated for use of cell phones while caring for children because two staff were observed using their phones upon OCCL s arrival to the classroom. While Administrator #1 stated she was unaware of group size requirements for mixed age groups, the center was cited for a nearly identical situation on December 18, 2023, and discussed with Administrator #1 at that time. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for concerns of lack of supervision due to staff leaving classrooms unattended. During both site visits, this was not observed. Additional concerns noted during this investigation include an infant sleeping in a car seat, children under two years of age being engaged in screen time, children being cared for in a space not approved for care, attendance records being unavailable and not showing proper transition tracking. Attendance records show infant children signed in prior to the arrival of staff in the classroom and a staff member without a DEEDS Early Learning qualification providing care to children alone. Attendance records submitted from the date of the first complaint investigation visit on December 23, 2025, did not reflect the children being moved to different classrooms; they showed 21 children combined until pickup. |
| Jul 22, 2025 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on May 14, 2025, alleging inappropriate discipline and lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on May 30, 2025, which included an interview with Administrator #1, interviews with two staff members, and observations of the program and classrooms. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of supervision based on observations during the investigation and interviews, as all staff were actively supervising the children, and no staff members were observed using cell phones. All staff interviewed noted no cell phones were permitted while caring for children. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for improper discipline based on observation and interviews as staff were heard using positive redirection, and no raised voices or inappropriate disciplinary actions were observed during the visit. Staff interviewed noted no observation of improper discipline and denied using it |
| Jan 8, 2024 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | On December 7, 2023, a complaint was received by the Office of Child Care Licensing regarding concerns of lack of supervision, incorrect staff-to-child ratio, and improper use of screen time. An unannounced visit was conducted on December 8, 2023. This complaint is substantiated because Ms. Turner acknowledged inadequate staffing. Ms. Turner described her understanding of DELACARE regulations regarding screen time and required staff-to-child ratios when children of mixed ages are combined, but this information was incorrect. As a result, classrooms were combined with too many children, and children were watching movies for longer than the permitted time. Attendance records received at this visit verified there were up to 32 children present in one room with the one-year-old children present and three staff members. An additional concern noted was attendance records for staff and children were not being completed accurately, as they did not show when children were combined, and one staff member did not sign out for a break. |

What the record doesn’t say
- Delaware doesn’t grade violations by severity, so read what was cited.
- Delaware’s open data lists a visit only when a violation was cited there, so visits that found nothing aren’t shown.
- Delaware publishes five years of reviews and complaints; this page shows the last three.
- Delaware doesn’t publish staffing levels or owners for individual providers.
- Delaware lists only the visits that found violations, so a provider with none listed may not have been visited at all: no count of violations is used to headline, filter or compare its providers.
