“Core safety” marks citations about supervision and staff ratios, discipline and caregiver conduct, background checks, child protection and safe sleep, the topics our score weights most. Pennsylvania’s records don’t grade violations by severity. “Follow-up” marks a violation re-cited at a follow-up visit, counted once. How scores work.

The most recent, on Sep 25, 2025 (background checks): “The file for Staff person #1 includes NSOR certificates dated 6.16.20 & 7.28.25, all more than 60 months apart. The file for Staff person #4 includes NSOR certificates dated 6.16.20 & 7.22.25, all more than 60 months…” Pennsylvania’s records don’t grade violations by severity; each citation is listed in full above.

Citations are quoted from Pennsylvania Department of Human Services inspection records (Office of Child Development and Early Learning, Bureau of Certification Services), including each finding and the center’s plan of correction. Rule numbers refer mostly to 55 Pa. Code Chapter 3270, the rules for child care centers; a few cite Chapter 20, which covers every certified facility. Pennsylvania’s records don’t grade violations by severity; the “core safety” label and the score are Daycare Record’s.
