Each child care space 55 Pa. Code §3270.124(c)
During a renewal inspection conducted on 9/23/2025, the Pre School class was in the outdoor play space without out their emergency contact forms present. The facility uses an application on the phone to access the emergency contact information for the children. The phone was not in the outdoor space.
Center’s plan of correction (implemented, Sep 25, 2025): “The emergency contact binder was placed in the backpack that goes with the classroom when outside.”

“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.
