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.
“Daily attendance must be kept for each child in care. Child #1 was in the FCC home trying out the home childcare. A full file was available, but Child #1 was not signed in.”
“Ensure a daily infant sheet is filled out and given to the parent daily. Send a copy of the daily infant sheet for Child #2 for the week of 5/22-5/30 to OCCL. Provider stated she is keeping track on Bright Wheels and unable to show Specialist.”
“Infant feeding schedules must be filled out for any infants in care. Send to OCCL when complete. Ensure parents sign monthly. Send to OCCL when complete.”
“Ensure all Child Files are complete. Child #1,5,6 need days attending marked on their emergency card. Child #8 needs hours and days of the week attending. Send copies of this correction to OCCL when complete.”
“Ensure there are no safety hazards in the home including items in the bathroom. Send a picture of items locked and stored away from children in care to OCCL.”
“Ensure monthly fire drills are conducted and documented. Fire drills that were presented did not have accurate date. Send three months of documented fire drills to OCCL when complete for January, February, and March.”
“Ensure there are no hazards before children play outside in the play area. The outside door was unlocked and children should not have access to supplies and equipment that are dangerous or hazardous to children in care. Send a picture of the outside building being locked in the outside play area.”
“Ensure children are not responsible for child care duties. A school-age child was observed taking children in care upstairs and assisting with toileting. The violation was corrected at the facility visit when OCCL staff reviewed child care requirements with the licensee and she verbally agreed to comply.”
“Ensure children's files are complete and include all required information. One child needs a current health appraisal including an immunization record and proof of a blood lead screening on file. Submit verification of completion to OCCL by 08-31-2022.”
“Document children's daily attendance including exact arrival and departure times and maintain the records for at least three months. No attendance records after 07-07-2022, were documented and available for review. Submit copies of attendance records dated 08/17/2022-08/24/2022, to OCCL by 08/25/2022.”
“Ensure capacity requirements are followed and maintained at all times. On 08-16-2022, seven children preschool-age or younger were present at 11:05 am. Ensure no more than six children preschool-age or younger are present at any time. The violation was corrected at the facility visit when a child, age one, departed at 12:08 pm.”
“On May 10, 2022, a complaint was called into OCCL regarding lack of supervision, improper discipline, and failure to transport a child to school as agreed to. LS [name withheld] and LS [name withheld] began a complaint investigation on May 16, 2022 and concluded the investigation on June 15, 2022. This complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision because [name withheld] dropped a child off outside of the child s home without the parent being home and left as evidenced by text messages and witness interviews. This complaint is substantiated for improper discipline because [name withheld] pinched children s ears and pulled one child s arm for misbehaving as evidenced by interviews. This complaint is substantiated for failure to follow transportation arrangements because there was no parent or guardian permission on file for [name withheld] to transport children to school. Numerous concerns were noted during this investigation including over-capacity almost daily for at least three months, failing to keep daily attendance, failure to obtain written permission for transportation for routine program outings, providing false information to OCCL, failing to keep a child s file for three months after enrollment, and failing to take emergency numbers when transporting children. These concerns were based off of documents obtained, failure to produce requested documents when asked, and interviews.”
