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.

| Oct 14, 2026 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | On September 25, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding possible lack of supervision and hazards. An investigation was conducted on September 30, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegations of lack of supervision because the statements provided by Staff #1, Staff #2, and Staff #3 were consistent in describing that Child #1 entered the classroom running, fell, and struck their head on a wooden shelf, after which staff immediately responded by providing first aid and notifying the child’s parent. Additionally, the facility administration and this licensing specialist reviewed the video footage of the incident. The video footage was consistent with staff’s account of the incident. There is no evidence to substantiate hazards because this licensing specialist observed no hazards with the shelf. |
| Jul 1, 2026 | OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to Substantiate | On June 8, 2026, and June 22, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received two complaints regarding a lack of positive behavior supports and a lack of supervision. An investigation began on June 16, 2026, and concluded on June 23, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate for a lack of positive behavior supports because interviews with Administrator #1 and Staff #1 were consistent with the incident report provided by the child care center. Both individuals reported that Child #1 became upset, engaged in aggressive behavior toward Staff #1, and that the scratch occurred during Staff #1’s efforts to protect themself from being hit. Administrator #1 reported that their review of the available video footage did not identify concerns regarding Staff #1’s conduct and did not indicate malicious intent. The injury observed on Child #1 consisted of a superficial scratch on the forearm that appeared consistent with the explanation provided by Staff #1 that the injury resulted from contact with her fingernail during the interaction. There is no evidence to substantiate for a lack of supervision because Administrator #1 emphasized that at no time was Child #1 left alone or unsupervised. Rather, supervision was transferred from the classroom staff to the administrator to ensure both the child’s safety and the timely evacuation of the remaining children. |

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.
