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.

“Ensure supervision and staff-to-child ratio is maintained. LS Sommer observed one staff inside the cafeteria with 21 children while another staff took the remaining seven children to the bathroom. As the children finished using the bathroom, they were not staying with the staff member and continued to enter the cafeteria adding to the improper staff-to-child ratio. This was discussed and corrected when all staff and children were together in the cafeteria.”
“Ensure staff-to-child ratio and supervision are maintained at all times. LS Sommer observed children going to the bathroom alone by leaving the cafeteria. Staff stated they thought standing in the doorway between the cafeteria and hallway would allow supervision. LS Sommer explained the doorway is a threshold and when children or staff cross it, it affects the staff-to-child ratio and supervision. This was corrected when a group of children were taken to the bathroom by a qualified staff, leaving a second staff member alone with 15 children.”
