Childcare Alerts is an independent service that synthesizes public Delaware child care records for education and research. It is not a rating or a safety verdict; the official state record always controls.

Childcare Alerts, operated by Childcare Alerts LLC, is an independent service and is not affiliated with any state agency in the states we cover (Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Texas, Pennsylvania, New York, Colorado, Washington, Delaware, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Nebraska, Vermont, New Jersey, Illinois, California, Michigan, Maryland, Arizona, Louisiana, North Dakota, Georgia, Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana, Oregon, Utah, Montana, West Virginia, Wyoming, District of Columbia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Florida). We surface public records from official state sources — we do not inspect, rate, or certify the safety of any provider. Absence of a record is not a guarantee of safety.
