About Prevent Child Abuse Delaware

Since 1972, Prevent Child Abuse America has led the national movement to stop child abuse and neglect before it begins.

Pinwheels for Prevention®

The blue and silver pinwheel is a powerful symbol of childhood—whimsical, joyful, and full of possibility. Across Delaware and the nation, pinwheels represent our shared commitment to ensuring every child grows up safe, supported, and free from abuse or neglect. 

Through Pinwheels for Prevention, communities plant pinwheel gardens, display them in public spaces, and use them to spark conversations about the importance of child and family well-being. Each pinwheel serves as a visual reminder that child abuse is preventable—and that we all have a role to play.
