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 |
|---|---|---|
| Aug 6, 2025 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | On July 9, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding lack of supervision, not following the policies in the handbook, and not being respectful. An investigation was conducted on July 23, 2025. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because Provider #1 denied the allegations, and the family child care home s suspension/termination policy was followed. |
| Jun 21, 2024 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on June 4, 2024, regarding the suspension/expulsion policy in the parent handbook, accident/injury procedures, and lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on June 5, 2024. The complaint is substantiated for the suspension/expulsion policy because there was not a suspension/expulsion policy in the parent handbook the provider provided during the visit. The allegation of not following accident/injury procedures is substantiated because the accident/injury handwritten report was missing the child s name and the first aid or medical care provided as required in the regulations and was not available in the child s file. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of lack of supervision because the provider stated the incidents happened when she was changing a diaper, preparing a meal, or assisting another child in the bathroom. |

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.
