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 1, 2026 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | On May 26, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding allegations of inadequate supervision resulting in children walking alone in hallways, improper staff-to-child ratios involving a classroom reportedly serving 17 children ages two through four years, staff use of personal cell phones during operating hours, use of cell phones for staff communication, insufficient systems for communicating children’s needs to staff, and unlabeled cots in poor condition. An investigation was conducted on June 4, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint. During the investigation, children were not observed walking unsupervised in hallways, and staff interviewed reported such incidents do not occur. Staff interviews also did not support the allegation of a classroom serving 17 children ages two through four years, as all interviewed staff denied observing such conditions. Classrooms were within staff-to-child ratio during this visit. Interviews and attendance records provided showed the facility adhering to the correct staff to child ratio and their policy regarding staff cell-phone use, as Staff #2 s employment was terminated due to cell phone use. All staff interviewed denied use of cell phones while responsible for caring for children, and no staff were observed using their phones during this visit. Regarding staff communication practices, staff reported utilizing walkie-talkies during operating hours and indicated new employees are paired with experienced staff members, and when necessary, Staff #1, to ensure communication regarding children’s individual needs. Additionally, observations conducted during the full compliance review confirmed all cots were appropriately labeled for individual children and maintained in safe, good condition. |
| Jun 23, 2026 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | On May 18, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint alleging non-compliance with staff-to-child ratio and maximum group size requirements in the opening classroom, the use of unqualified staff to supervise children, improper diapering practices due to the absence of a changing table, and failure to implement an appropriate activity schedule. An investigation was conducted on May 26, 2026. The complaint is substantiated regarding staff-to-child ratio requirements and diapering procedures. During the investigation, LS #1 observed Staff #2 supervising seven one-year-old children after an additional child arrived for care. The classroom exceeded the required staff-to-child ratio until Owner #1 relocated one child to the infant classroom, restoring compliance. In addition, diapering procedures were not implemented in accordance with regulations in the opening classroom as a soiled diaper was observed in a trash can not designated exclusively for diaper disposal nor was it foot-activated or have a lid, and no diapering procedure was posted. Staff #3 reported several two- and three-year-old children in the classroom remained in pull-ups and were not yet toilet trained. According to this information, a diaper changing table is not required. The allegations concerning unqualified staff and failure to follow an appropriate activity schedule are unsubstantiated. Records and observations confirmed all staff present were qualified as Early Childhood Teachers or Early Childhood Assistant Teachers. Observations also verified children were engaged in activities consistent with the posted daily schedule. Administrator #1 and Staff #10, who is trained in day-to-day operations, did not arrive until approximately 7:47 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., respectively. Due to staff absences, Staff #2 remained in the office supervising Child #1 and Child #2 until Administrator #1 arrived. Children should only be cared for in designated child care spaces. |

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.
