The short answer
Record last released by Delaware Office of Child Care Licensing on Nov 4, 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.

| Oct 1, 2025 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | On September 8, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding child file requirements, not providing truthful information to parents, not having security procedures that ensure access to children is limited to authorized people, failing to follow a procedure for accepting and handling complaints from the parent, failing to follow policy for handling situations in which an unapproved person attempts to pick up a child, failing to follow a policy for reporting to parent critical incidents involving the child, and failing to follow suspension policy. Based on a review of the child’s file, there is no evidence to substantiate incomplete child file requirements. The child’s file included all required items, a comprehensive psychological evaluation, a signed Safeguard document, and incident reports. Based on interviews conducted and documents received, there is no evidence to substantiate not providing truthful information to parents. The center had a change in administrators. Conversations between the previous administrator and the parent are unknown because they were not available for an interview. The Safeguard plan was created with the previous administrator, then updated with the current administrator. A meeting to discuss this plan with the parent, administrator and regional director was scheduled and canceled by the parent several times and had not been conducted as of September 12, 2025. However, Administrator #1 did review the plan in person with Parent #1 on September 10, 2025. The current administrator stated they were truthful with the parent. The parent and Administrator provided a message chain discussing proposed meetings.

Based on interviews conducted and documents collected, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint regarding the following and the handling of the complaint procedures. The past administrator involved the regional director in discussions of concerns. The regional director and the current administrator were trying to arrange a parent meeting. Based on interviews conducted, there is no evidence to substantiate the failure to follow policy in handling situations where an unapproved person attempts to pick up a child. The child was not at the center when the unapproved person attempted to pick up the child. A staff member removed the person from the building, called the parent, and informed a police officer of the incident. Based on interviews conducted, there is no evidence to substantiate the failure to follow the policy for reporting critical incidents involving the child to parents and the failure to follow the suspension policy. The administrator stated they spoke to the parent about the unauthorized person attempting to pick up the child, the unsafe behaviors, shared the original Safeguard plan, the updated Safeguard plan, and seven incident reports. |
| Sep 8, 2025 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate with Concern | On August 4, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding a lack of supervision. An investigation was completed on August 4, 2025. Based on interviews conducted and video footage reviewed, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for lack of supervision. The video footage showed Staff #1 interacting with Child #1 when the injury occurred. A concern noted at the visit is that the center did not notify OCCL within one business day of an injury requiring medical treatment other than first aid provided at the center. It is also of concern that the parent was initially informed of multiple causes immediately after the accident occurred. |
| Jul 28, 2025 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | On July 3, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding improper discipline and incorrect staff-to-child ratio. An investigation began on July 3, 2025, and concluded on July 9, 2025. Based on interviews conducted, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for improper discipline. Staff interviewed stated they redirect the children, use proximity to stop behaviors, and discuss the behavior with the children. Staff were observed being attentive to children s needs and using appropriate behavior management techniques. Based on interviews conducted, visit observations, and documentation collected, there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for incorrect staff-to-child ratio. The attendance records collected reflect the correct staff-to-child ratio. During the visit, LS #1 observed that all rooms had the correct staff-to-child ratio. |
| Feb 17, 2025 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | On January 21, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding incorrect staff-to-child ratios. An investigation was conducted on January 22, 2025. Based on observations and staff interviews, this complaint is substantiated for incorrect ratios because LS #1 observed three classrooms not in correct staff-to-child ratio. The infant room had five children with one staff member. The one-year-old room had eight children with one staff member, and the school-age room had fifteen children, including three-year-olds with one staff member. An additional concern noted at the visit was, based on interviews, infants were cared for in rooms with older children when more than 12 children in total were present and maximum group size was exceeded. |
| Feb 5, 2025 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | On January 13, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding incorrect ratios, improper mixing of ages, and exceeding capacity. An investigation began on January 14, 2025, and was completed on January 27, 2025.

Attendance records reviewed documented classrooms were out of correct ratio and LS #1 also observed three classrooms not in correct staff-to-child ratio at the time of the visit. LS #1 observed a classroom with 29 children, ages three through school-age at the time of the visit, exceeding maximum group size. This complaint is substantiated for improper mixing of ages because attendance records show infants were in mixed-age group rooms when more than 12 children in total were present. The attendance records also reflected infants were present in a room of nineteen total children. Infants and toddlers may only be cared for with older children when 12 or fewer children in total are present and during the first or last 90 minutes of the hours of operation. This complaint is substantiated for exceeding room capacity. The school-age room has a capacity of 21, but LS #1 observed 29 children in the room.

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.
