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 |
|---|---|---|
| Nov 24, 2025 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on October 13, 2025, regarding staff not receiving the staff handbook, staff not completing the orientation, outdoor area, indoor space, staff and child attendance, not keeping medications out of the children s reach, not keeping chemicals out of the children s reach, having chemicals in the labeled soap/water bottles instead of soap and water, not having paper towels for handwashing, not following meal pattern requirements, and allowing children to walk unsupervised to the bus without parent permission. An investigation was conducted on October 23, 2025. This complaint is substantiated because water bottles containing chemicals were labeled as soap and water, wires on the small playground were exposed, and the fence on the large playground did not have functioning self-closing and self-latching mechanisms. There is no evidence to substantiate staff not being oriented, staff not receiving a handbook, attendance records not being used, medications being stored in children s reach, unlocked cabinets with chemicals in children s reach, a child spraying chemicals in their face, inadequate portions sizes served at meals, and school-age children being unsupervised at the bus stop based on interviews and observations. |
| Nov 12, 2024 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on October 4, 2024, regarding accident/injury procedures, not providing water to the children, diapering procedures, not following the expulsion policy, and not following health exclusions. An investigation was conducted on October 14, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate these allegations because Administrator #1 stated the injury was communicated to Parent #1 through the BrightWheel app immediately on the day of the injury and the parent called the center shortly after confirming she received the message. Staff members interviewed all confirmed water is offered to all children in care daily. Additionally, staff confirmed cleaning Child #1 after each diaper change and Administrator #1 says she does not remember an incident where Parent #1 was called because Child #1 was moody, and the notice that went out about hand, foot, and mouth was not saying Child #1 had it, just that a child in the center did. Also, Administrator #1 said Parent #1 was informed if she did not like the procedures set in place by the center, then their agreement was not working, and October 10, 2024, would be Child #1 s last day. The center handbook states the center can terminate care at any time. |
| Apr 30, 2024 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on April 1, 2024, regarding lack of supervision by not providing timely attention to the children s actions and needs. An investigation was conducted on April 10, 2024. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint because interviewed staff reported constantly wiping the child s nose and meeting the child s needs while doing their best to ensure all the other children were being cared for. |

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.
