Outdoor equip.- protective surfacing 55 Pa. Code §3270.102(c)
The gorilla playset in the outdoor play area does not have the appropriate protective surface covering that meets the recommendation of the United Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Center’s plan of correction (implemented, Apr 22, 2026): “Playground immediately became inaccessible for children to play. Measurements were taken to install protective surfacing to meet recommended depth. Typically 9-12 inches of loose-fill material depending on fall height.”
Core safety Jan 29, 2026 Complaint investigation Supervision
Supervised at all times /Staff assigned to specific children 55 Pa. Code §3270.113(a)/3270.113(a)(1)
Staff person #1 took a group of children to the bathroom. Child #1 was not included in this group and was not supervised by a childcare staff for approximately 3 min. Facility person #1 admitted that she thought it was appropriate to leave child #1 with a person from an outside agency that was present in the room.
Center’s plan of correction (implemented, Feb 23, 2026): “1. 2/11/26 Staff person # 1 immediately created a Supervision Policy for staff members. 2. 2/19/26 Supervision policy was created in regards to outside workers. All staff will review the policy and sign off on it.”

“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.
