Inspection history
Source: Delaware Office of Child Care LicensingRecords held from Sep 27, 2021 onward. Earlier visits may exist in the agency’s own files.
Delaware publishes only visits where a regulation was cited, plus complaint investigations. Visits that found no violations do not appear in the state's data, so a gap between dates here does not mean the program went uninspected. Delaware does not publish a severity weight for its citations.

Violations
Text reproduced verbatim · Delaware Office of Child Care LicensingNearly every licensed provider accumulates some. A missing signature and an unlocked medicine cabinet are both “violations”, and they are not the same thing. Look at the class, the pattern over time and how quickly it was corrected — not the count alone.
Class is our grouping of the state’s own weights, reviewed per state. The agency’s own label is always shown beside it.
“Child files were missing the following: - Child #1 needs a blood lead screening - Child #3 needs an updated health appraisal - Child #5 needs an updated infant feeding schedule that includes how many ounces/frequency of feedings and only foods that have been introduced.”
“On April 19, 2024, three complaints regarding the Family Child Care Home of [name withheld] located at 339 Hackberry Drive, New Castle, DE 19710 were called into the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line and accepted for investigation by the Institutional Abuse Unit (IAU). The complaints were sent to the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) and accepted for investigation on April 19, 2024, regarding concerns of lack of supervision. On April 19, 2024, Licensing Specialist [name withheld] Licensing Supervisor [name withheld] delivered a Suspension Order to [name withheld] and began investigating this complaint. This complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision based on medical records, police records including the arrest of Substitute #1, information provided by IAU Investigator [name withheld] and an interview with [name withheld]. Medical documentation states Child #1 arrived at Nemours Children s Health Emergency Department hypothermic with signs of near-drowning, including aspiration of liquid into the lungs. Police records state Child #1 was found by Substitute #1 face down on a water-filled tarp draped over [name withheld] s above-ground swimming pool and stated Substitute #1 left multiple children unsupervised in [name withheld] s backyard while [name withheld] was running an errand. [name withheld] stated Substitute #1 was caring for the children while she went to the grocery store, and Substitute #1 came into the home to check on Child #2, who was sleeping in a pack-n-play and began preparing lunch. [name withheld] stated Substitute #1 left the remaining children in the backyard, and after a couple of minutes, Substitute #1 saw Child #1 s legs hanging over the edge of the swimming pool in the backyard. [name withheld] stated Substitute #1 retrieved Child #1 from the pool and called emergency services. Substitute #1 was arrested on April 23, 2024, and was charged with endangering the welfare of a child under the age of 18 causing injury. Additional concerns noted during this investigation include t he use of Substitute #1 in a non-emergency situation without the required trainings. Going to the grocery store or use on a regular basis requires an adult to be trained as a non-emergency substitute. Substitute #1 was listed as an emergency-only substitute and does not have the trainings or orientation forms required by OCCL to be used in non-emergency situations. An additional concern noted was Child #2, an infant, was left indoors unsupervised when Substitute #1 took the remaining children outside to play.”
