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.
“Staff #1 needs to complete 12 additional training hours”
“Ensure child files are complete. Child #4 needs transportation and medication permission. Child #7 needs current health appraisal.”
“Ensure ceilings are in good repair. Kitchen ceiling needs repair/paint. Send photo to OCCL.”
“Ensure disposable cover is used at each change. Confirm review of diapering procedure with staff.”
“Ensure current OCCL license is posted for families to see. Send photo to OCCL.”
“The Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on May 1, 2025, alleging improper discipline, failure to provide truthful information to parents about their child's daily experience, and medication administration without proper documentation. An investigation was conducted beginning May 7, 2025, and concluding May 9, 2025, which included a review of medication records, staff and administrator interviews, program observations, an interview with the Reporter, and review of four hours of audio recordings. The allegation of improper discipline is substantiated, based on the audio recording that captured inappropriate tones, threats, and unkind language directed at children. There was no evidence to substantiate a staff member swinging a child by the arm. The allegation regarding medication administration without proper documentation is substantiated, as the MAR for Child #1 indicated daily administration throughout February, yet Parent #1 received the inhaler unused. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for providing false information about a child s feedings or day based on interviews with staff and observation of daily records. While the facility s method of completing the daily logs could be confusing for a parent, they are not providing false information. An additional concern noted during this investigation was a of positive interactions with children in care based on the audio recordings.”
“Submit the following to complete the children's files: Blood lead test results for three children; a health appraisal with immunizations for one child.”
“Submit documentation of completion of the OCCL Health and Safety class which will also complete the not determined annual training for one staff member.”
