Delaware’s Office of Child Care Licensing publishes each regulation it cites, not a risk level for it.
Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
OCCL licensing staff cited 30T in April 2024, October 2024 and October 2025. The agency describes it this way: Personnel Files. Delaware does not publish a risk level for each citation. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
OCCL licensing staff cited 8T in October 2024 and October 2025. The agency describes it this way: License Renewal. Delaware does not publish a risk level for each citation. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
40T was cited in April 2024, October 2024, October 2025 and October 2026. The agency describes it this way: Child Files. Delaware does not publish a risk level for each citation. The October 2026 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “Marked corrected; no correction date recorded.” The record does not show whether the problem was fixed.

Ratios change through the day, so they are worth counting yourself on a visit.
Has the center ever been on probation or had its license suspended, and what changed afterward?
