Records 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.

How to read violations

Nearly 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.

Paperwork — records, postings, forms Standard — supervision, ratio, training Health & safety — direct risk to a child

Class is our grouping of the state’s own weights, reviewed per state. The agency’s own label is always shown beside it.

Substantiated complaint

“On January 11, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding the center not notifying OCCL of a serious injury to a child and not following expulsion policies. An investigation was conducted on January 12, 2024. Based on the results of this investigation this complaint is substantiated for not notifying OCCL of a serious injury to a child because the center administrator did not notify OCCL by direct voice contact within one business day. There is no evidence to substantiate the center is not following its expulsion policy because the center administrator stated she provided more than 30 days notice before disenrolling Child #1.”
