How this data is sourced. Listings for ZIP 19709 are compiled from official Delaware Office of Child Care Licensing (DELACARE) licensing records and cross-checked for current license status — not paid placements or user star-ratings. Rankings never depend on advertising. Provider details change often, so always confirm directly before enrolling. Reviewed by the DaycareHub editorial team · August 2026 · methodology
