How to read this record
A compliance visit is a licensing visit by an OCCL specialist. When the specialist finds a regulation has not been met, the visit record carries a citation: the regulation's code and short description, the specialist's corrective-action note describing what was found, and the correction record — the date correction was due, whether the state has marked it completed, the date it was corrected, and how. A complaint investigation begins with a complaint; its record carries the state's result and the investigator's written conclusion. Delaware does not grade citations by risk or severity, so no grade is shown — the specialist's note is the substance of the record. One visit can produce several citations. A citation the state later records as corrected stays in the history; that is what a licensing record is.

Visits and investigations, newest first
A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on July 2, 2026, regarding not using respectful communication among staff and a second complaint on July 12, 2026, regarding people being present at the center that do not work there. An investigation was conducted on July 13, 2026. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint for lack of respectful communication or outside people being present at the center based on staff interviews conducted. Administrator #1 and five staff members interviewed had no concerns with communication in the center and noted staff meetings are held throughout the year. Those interviewed also noted that only a HVAC company has been in the center, but not in the same area as children. This was verified on the center s visitor log. A lack of complete and accurate attendance records is a concern noted during the visit. The infant room had no attendance record completed for the day. The toddler and two s classroom did not accurately reflect the children combined in one location for nap time. Findings: Based on the results of the investigation, this complaint was: No Evidence to Substantiate with Concern.
A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
On December 11 and 12, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received two complaints regarding concerns of improper staff-to-child ratio, lack of supervision, and use of cell phones while caring for children. An unannounced visit was conducted on December 23, 2025. On January 6, 2026, a follow-up unannounced visit was conducted. This complaint is substantiated for improper staff-to-child ratio and exceeding maximum group size because upon arrival on December 11, 2025, there were 22 children ranging in age from infants to preschool-age gathered in one classroom. This complaint is also substantiated for use of cell phones while caring for children because two staff were observed using their phones upon OCCL s arrival to the classroom. While Administrator #1 stated she was unaware of group size requirements for mixed age groups, the center was cited for a nearly identical situation on December 18, 2023, and discussed with Administrator #1 at that time. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for concerns of lack of supervision due to staff leaving classrooms unattended. During both site visits, this was not observed. Additional concerns noted during this investigation include an infant sleeping in a car seat, children under two years of age being engaged in screen time, children being cared for in a space not approved for care, attendance records being unavailable and not showing proper transition tracking. Attendance records show infant children signed in prior to the arrival of staff in the classroom and a staff member without a DEEDS Early Learning qualification providing care to children alone. Attendance records submitted from the date of the first complaint investigation visit on December 23, 2025, did not reflect the children being moved to different classrooms; they showed 21 children combined until pickup.

An investigation was conducted on May 30, 2025, which included an interview with Administrator #1, interviews with two staff members, and observations of the program and classrooms.

All staff interviewed noted no cell phones were permitted while caring for children. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for improper discipline based on observation and interviews as staff were heard using positive redirection, and no raised voices or inappropriate disciplinary actions were observed during the visit.

A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
On December 7, 2023, a complaint was received by the Office of Child Care Licensing regarding concerns of lack of supervision, incorrect staff-to-child ratio, and improper use of screen time. An unannounced visit was conducted on December 8, 2023. This complaint is substantiated because Ms. Turner acknowledged inadequate staffing. Ms. Turner described her understanding of DELACARE regulations regarding screen time and required staff-to-child ratios when children of mixed ages are combined, but this information was incorrect. As a result, classrooms were combined with too many children, and children were watching movies for longer than the permitted time. Attendance records received at this visit verified there were up to 32 children present in one room with the one-year-old children present and three staff members. An additional concern noted was attendance records for staff and children were not being completed accurately, as they did not show when children were combined, and one staff member did not sign out for a break.
A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on July 13, 2023, regarding failure to follow diapering procedures and not following an open-door policy. An unannounced visit was conducted on July 18, 2023. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because during the investigation, the owner and two staff were interviewed separately and stated children in the process of potty training are changed or use the bathroom regularly, including scheduled times around lunchtime and after nap time. During the visit, children were observed freely using the bathroom. The owner and staff members all stated parents are welcome to enter the center at any time. LS Specialists observed a parent coming into the building to pick up her child during this visit.
A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
On June 30, 2023, a complaint was called into the Child Abuse and Neglect Report Line and not accepted for investigation by the Institutional Abuse Unit (IAU). The Office of Child Care Licensing received a second complaint and screened both in for investigation on July 5, 2023, regarding failure to report an injury and lack of supervision. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because, during the investigation, and subsequent written statements, Administrator Brooke Turner and Staff #1 both stated they were not aware of Child #1 receiving an injury until Parent #1 contacted the center. Ms. Turner stated Child #1 did not cry or say anything to staff in regard to an injury. The center administrator stated the center owners reviewed the video footage and saw no injury to Child #1.
A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on June 20, 2023, regarding failure to report an injury to a parent and failure to follow proper handwashing and cleaning procedures. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not reporting an injury because Ms. Turner stated she and the staff were not aware of an injury received at the center on June 16, 2023. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for improper cleaning and handwashing, as staff stated they followed the required cleaning procedures, and a visual inspection of the center did not identify any concerns about cleanliness.
A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on May 2, 2023, regarding failure to adhere to the center s photography and social media policies. An investigation was conducted on May 3, 2023. This complaint is substantiated because Staff #1 s written statement indicated she posted a picture of an enrolled child on social media which is in direct violation of the center s policy.

On August 1, 2022, OCCL received a complaint alleging discrimination and a placement denied based on a child s special educational needs/disability. The reporter stated Child #1 was initially accepted, then denied care based on her level one autism diagnosis. Based on the statements made by the administrator during the investigation visit, this complaint is substantiated. Ms. Turner stated Child #1 was initially accepted, then after further discussion, was denied enrollment because of the current staff s lack of training in the needs of children with autism. Ms. Turner failed to review the child s IEP to determine the accommodations listed to determine whether the center could meet the child s needs.

Video was not available, the times of alleged lack of supervision conflict, and the staff interviewed stated children are always supervised.
