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.
“On December 10, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding concerns involving staff members not utilizing positive behavior management strategies during nap time. An investigation was conducted on December 17, 2025. Based on the investigation, the complaint is substantiated due to staff members failing to utilize positive behavior management strategies. Staff #2 observed Staff #1 improperly restraining Child #1 during nap time by lying across the child s body and preventing the child from getting off the mat. Administrator #1 and Program Coordinator (PC) #1 reviewed video footage and observed improper restraint practices by Staff #1, which resulted in the termination of Staff #1 s employment.”
“OCCL s investigation of regulatory non-compliance began after clearance from other agencies was received. On November 10, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding the use of inappropriate discipline techniques by a staff member, including pushing and/or pulling children by the ear while redirecting behavior. An investigation occurred on November 13, 2025, and ended on November 18, 2025. Based on the investigation, this complaint is substantiated for use of prohibited acts of discipline. Staff #2 reported observing Staff #1 push and/or pull four children by the ear. During the investigation, LS #1 and Investigator #1 reviewed classroom video footage capturing children entering from the hallway after the transition where Staff #2 reported observing the incident. LS #1 and Investigator #1 observed Child #1 holding their ear in the area where a documented bruise was later observed. Based on the staff observation and the video footage reviewed by Administrator #1 and Program Coordinator #1, Staff #1 s employment was terminated on November 6, 2025. An additional concern noted was the facility never completed an accident/injury report after becoming aware of the injury to Child #1 while in care.”
