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.

Not classified
Substantiated complaint

“On October 22, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding concerns of improper discipline. An investigation was conducted on October 23, 2024. This complaint is substantiated for improper discipline based on interviews and review of video footage from Staff #1 s classroom. Staff #1 was observed pulling a child across the carpet by one arm and was also observed smacking Child #1 on the side/bottom after Child #1 fell in the classroom. Staff #1 s employment was terminated on October 21, 2024, after these allegations were brought to the facility s attention and video footage was viewed. An additional concern noted was that although Staff #2 reached out to OCCL to determine what classified as child abuse, staff at the facility did not call the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line after viewing the footage on October 18, 2024. OCCL requires all staff read and sign a review of child abuse and neglect annually, which outlines abuse to include any mistreatment or maltreatment of a child.”
