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.

Feb 4, 2026: unannounced Full Compliance Review2 violations
-
General Capacity
“Ensure capacity restrictions are maintained at all times. According to the Provider, who had six children present, his/her preschool aged household member attends another program daily. Because this child is preschool aged, he/she counts in the Provider’s capacity, whether present or not. Disenroll one child to ensure capacity remains no more than six children.”
-
Children’s Files
“Ensure child files are complete. One child needs an updated infant monthly feeding statement. Obtain February’s statement.”
Feb 13, 2025: unannounced1 violation

Children’s Files
“Ensure child files are complete. Child #2 needs an updated Health Appraisal and Immunization records. Child #4 needs a blood lead level test result. Child #5 needs an updated Health Appraisal.”
-
Outdoor Area
“Ensure routine cleaning supplies are stored out of children’s reach. LS Brey observed disinfecting wipes under the bathroom sink in an unlocked cabinet. This was corrected at the visit when the Provider removed the wipes.”
-
Riding Toys
“Discontinue the use of air fresheners and candles during the hours children are in care. LS observed a lit candle in the kitchen and a plugged-in air freshener while children were present. This was corrected at the visit when the Provider removed both.”
-
Administration of Medication
“Ensure any medications no longer used are either returned to the parent/guardian or discarded. LS Brey observed unlabeled diaper creams in the changing table drawer. This was corrected at the visit when the Provider removed all of the creams, because they were no longer used, and discarded them.”

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.
