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 |
|---|---|---|
| Feb 17, 2026 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | The Office of Child Care Licensing received three complaints regarding unqualified staff alone with children, improper staff-to-child ratio, staff not having CPR/First Aid, lack of security procedures, and meal pattern requirements. The investigation began on January 13, 2026, and concluded on January 23, 2026. This complaint is substantiated for unqualified staff alone with children, improper staff-to-child ratio, staff not having CPR/First Aid, and lack of security procedures based on observations and documentation reviewed. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of not following meal pattern requirements because during the visit, staff and children were eating the meal on the menu with the proper serving size, and leftovers were available. An additional concern noted was based on attendance records there were not enough staff present in the building in the morning. |
| Feb 13, 2026 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on January 16, 2026, regarding a lack of positive behavior supports. An investigation was conducted on January 21, 2026. This complaint is substantiated because staff and children stated that Staff #1 and Staff #3 have told children when they have asked for support to figure it out themselves rather than providing appropriate adult guidance, supervision, or intervention. |
| Jan 21, 2026 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on December 3, 2025, regarding improper staff-to-child ratio and lack of supervision. The investigation began on December 10, 2025, and concluded on December 16, 2025. The allegation of improper staff-to-child ratio is substantiated because upon arrival, there were 18 school-age children with one staff member. Also, according to attendance records, the facility did not follow proper staff-to-child ratio on December 2, 2025, from about 6:30 am until 8:00 am. The allegation of a lack of supervision is substantiated because during the visit the specialist observed on two occasions that a school-aged child moved around the facility alone, once to use the bathroom and once to enter another classroom. Interview statements indicated that staff members are on their phones, leaving the classroom, in offices, or not engaged with children in the school-age classroom when needed for supervision. Other concerns noted were a lack of security procedures to limit access to children while in care, unqualified staff alone with children, not having enough staff present in the building, and not having staff trained in day-to-day operations present. |
| Mar 24, 2025 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on February 19, 2025, regarding not following accident/injury procedures and the administrator not being present. An investigation began on February 21, 2025, and concluded on February 24, 2025. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of not following accident injury procedures because staff stated the parent refused to sign the accident/injury report when it was presented, which was documented on the report. There is no evidence to substantiate an administrator not being present the required amount of hours because the facility has three administrators and reviewed schedules show compliance with the regulation. |
| Nov 27, 2024 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | On October 29, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding release of a child and termination policy. An investigation was conducted on October 30, 2024. This complaint is substantiated for non-release of a child because Parent #1 was on the child information card, and the child was not released to Parent #1. Owner #1 was being cautious in not releasing Child #1 because Owner #1 believed a court order existed for no contact but was not aware of specifics in the order; Owner #1 contacted law enforcement for assistance in resolving the issue. However, without the presence of the actual court order informing Owner #1 of the specific terms of the no-contact order and confirming Child #1 was involved in that order, Child #1 should have been released to previously authorized individuals. The facility did follow regulation requirements by not allowing Person #1 to retrieve Child #1 due to not being an authorized pick-up. There is no evidence to substantiate not following the termination policy because the handbook states the center reserves the right to terminate care for any reason. |
| Jul 29, 2024 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate with Concern | On June 25, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding the owner using improper communication in front of the children. An investigation was conducted on July 17, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint because the staff and children interviewed stated the owner did not use improper communication towards Staff #2; however, Staff #2 used improper communication in front of the children. There were several additional concerns noted. Multiple children stated Staff #2 hit them and other children with Staff #2 s hands and objects. The owner was informed by a parent of the allegations of Staff #2 hitting children, but this was not reported to the child abuse and neglect report line by the owner because Staff #2 was no longer employed with the center. During the visit, two school-age children left the classroom at different times to use the bathroom and get a sweatshirt. Also, a staff member, who had not been determined eligible through a comprehensive background check, was alone with four-year-old and five-year-old children, while the other staff stepped out of the classroom. |
| Jul 1, 2024 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | On June 25, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint regarding not enough staff present, improper staff-to-child ratio, improper discipline, and not keeping the center clean. An investigation was conducted on June 26, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegations of not having enough staff and improper staff-to-child ratio because each classroom had the proper staff, and three additional staff were in the building available to help or answer the door. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of improper discipline because during the visit all staff were appropriately engaged with the children. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of not keeping the facility clean because the rooms that were in use were being cleaned up for the end of the day and the vacant rooms were properly cleaned and set for use. |
| Apr 30, 2024 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | On April 11, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding a lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on April 11, 2024. The complaint is substantiated because Staff #4 stated she did leave the classroom, leaving children with no supervision, to get a child a cup of water from the kitchen. Additional concerns noted during the visit were the classrooms did not have water accessible to the children, the one-year-old to two-year-old classroom was over ratio with eight children and one staff from 8:50 a.m. until naptime, and the infant attendance record was not accurate. Non-compliance Cited: Reg #27 Ensure children are directly supervised at all times. Ensure staff-to-child ratios are maintained at all times. Reg #36: Keep a daily written or electronic record of each child s exact arrival and departures in each classroom or area. Reg #70 Ensure drinking water is always available to children in their classrooms and outdoors and supplied to them on their request or available for self-service as appropriate. |
| Apr 3, 2024 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | On March 5, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding meals and snacks, staff not providing truthful information, diapering procedures, staff engaging in personal activities, and lack of positive behavior supports. An investigation was conducted on March 11, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint for meals and snacks because all staff stated Child #1 was offered the food from home and from the center, and Child #1 consumed what he wanted. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of staff not providing truthful information because the staff stated they do not recall a specific report. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of improper diapering procedures because the staff stated Child #1 was potty-training and was taken to the bathroom often and hardly, if ever, needed a diaper change. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of staff engaging in personal activities because all staff stated they do not engage in personal activities or cell phone use during child care. The Licensing Specialist (LS) did not observe staff engaging in personal activities during the visit. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of improper positive behavior supports because staff stated they use positive guidance, and the LS observed staff and children appropriately engaged during the visit. |

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.
