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 |
|---|---|---|
| Mar 25, 2026 | OCCL Standards Complaint: Substantiated | On March 9, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding concerns of failing to use appropriate behavior supports. An investigation began on March 11, 2026, and was concluded on March 19, 2026. This complaint is substantiated for failing to use appropriate behavior supports based on interviews conducted, written statements reviewed, and video footage reviewed. One staff member stated they observed only appropriate behaviors but were dealing with the other children at the time. One staff member’s statement stated they observed Staff #1 inappropriately holding Child #1 down. Video footage reviewed showed Staff #1 grabbing Child #1, physically placing them on the bench, picking Child #1 up by their coat, and also holding Child #1 on the ground. Staff #1 s employment was terminated by the center. |

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.
