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.

| Date | What | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Jul 15, 2026 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on June 4, 2026, regarding not following accident/injury procedures and not doing health checks. An investigation began on June 15, 2026, and concluded on June 25, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because staff members interviewed stated Child #1 did not receive any injury while at the center on June 3, 2026. Staff members interviewed described the center’s procedures for documenting health observations and accidents, stating that injuries are reported to administration, parents are notified, and accident reports are completed when an injury occurs. Staff #4 stated they noticed what they perceived to be a small bug bite while changing Child #1 at pickup and pointed it out to another staff member during that time. Parent #1 arrived while Child #1 was still being changed and interacted closely with Child #1. Additionally, Administrator #1 stated they and a police officer reviewed the video footage and found nothing concerning. During the investigation, LS #1 reviewed Child #1 s health observation log, which documented health observations and notifications to administration and the parent. LS #1 was unable to independently review the video because the copies provided would not play. |
| Jan 13, 2026 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on November 19, 2025, regarding not following the suspension/ expulsion policy, not following accident/ injury procedures, and not providing positive behavior supports. An investigation began on December 1, 2025, and concluded on December 4, 2025. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because staff members interviewed stated that Child #1 would hit, scratch, and bite other children and staff members, and at times, was uncontrollable, which caused safety concerns to everyone, including Child #1. Also, staff stated they requested a copy of Child #1 s IEP from the parent several times, and the parent finally provided a copy on October 22, 2025. Additionally, the staff stated Child #1 never sustained any injury to his/her finger while in care. |
| Oct 29, 2025 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on August 27, 2025, regarding improper discipline. An investigation began on September 3, 2025, and concluded on September 8, 2025. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because Staff #3 and Staff #4 stated that they do not know what caused Child #1 s injury to her arm. LS#1 reviewed over two hours of video footage from when Child #1 began eating lunch to when she got up from her nap and did not see an incident occur. Child #1 did not appear to be in distress when she laid down, or when she laid back down from going to the bathroom after nap. Child #1 was laying on her cot and then sat up and started crying and pointing at her arm when nap was almost over. |
| Sep 4, 2024 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on August 6, 2024, regarding an unqualified staff member alone with children and a lack of positive behavior support from staff. An investigation was conducted on August 7, 2024. This complaint is substantiated for an unqualified staff member alone with children because Staff #1 admitted to being alone with children before obtaining a school-age intern certification on August 5, 2024. Additionally, another staff member stated Staff #1 has been alone with children. There is no evidence to substantiate that Staff #1 had been aggressive and demeaning. Staff members and children interviewed stated staff had been firm, but not aggressive. |
| Jun 5, 2024 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on May 7, 2024, regarding lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on May 7, 2024. This complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision because Staff #1 was observed on video footage supervising the children in the bathroom, she then left to place a pair of shoes in a cubby and to close the classroom blinds. During this investigation, a concern noted was Staff #2 was observed in video footage roughly handling a child. |

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.
