The short answer
Record last released by Delaware Office of Child Care Licensing on Oct 26, 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.

An investigation was conducted on April 3, 2025. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint regarding the failure to follow the suspension policy. After reviewing the center s suspension policy and confirmation from Purchase of Care, the family was disenrolled due to threatening behavior toward staff members. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for failing to follow the policy for routine health care and emergencies as well as failing to call an ambulance. Staff attempted to apply ice, which Child #1 refused but accepted comfort, and the bleeding stopped. The administration felt it was not a medical emergency and calling an ambulance was not needed. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for a lack of respectful communication based on statements from administration and staff who both stated Guardian #1 was aggressive and threatening, but staff were not disrespectful. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for failure to support children with an IFSP. Based on interviews with staff and documentation reviewed, the staff was aware of Child #1 s IFSP and was working to implement the goals for Child #1. |

The administration team did not call for emergency response and did not follow the action plan on file for Child #1. This complaint is substantiated for failing to keep child information confidential. After hearing that a staff member was sharing confidential information to another parent, administration counseled and gave written disciplinary action to two staff regarding confidentiality. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for disrespectful communication by staff with a parent based on interviews of staff and administration, who all stated they spoke to the parent in a respectful manner.

Child #1 was awake on their cot playing with the cot sheet when staff members helped Child #1 remove the cot sheet.

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.
