Three staff members had 14 children, all age 2, on the playground. When their playground time ended, all lined up to come back inside their classroom. Staff person #3 lined up and counted 14 children, and opened the door and headed inside with the children following along with staff person #1 and staff person #2. When they reached the classroom door, another staff person was waiting to help them enter the classroom. The staff person began counting children and counted only 13. As the staff person began to ask the three staff members if a child left, a staff member from the preschool classroom walked child #1 up to the classroom. Child #1 was left on the playground for roughly 2-3 minutes. Staff person #1 and staff person #2 were terminated from employment at the center.
While reviewing with the staff members involved in the incident concerning supervision groups, supervision groups provided by the staff members made them out of ratio.
During a fire drill, child #1 was left behind in the building unsupervised for approximately 45 seconds while other staff and children had exited the building for the drill.
Records for Staff #1, #2, and #4 contained evidence of current clearances, but obtained after the required initial 45-day period or renewal 60-month interval. Corrected at time of inspection.
Record for Staff #3 did not contain evidence of an initial health assessment, but the TB test result was present. Records for Staff #4 and #5 contained current health assessments but dated past the 24-month required interval. #4 and #5 corrected at time of inspection.
Records for staff members #3, #5, and #6 contained TB test results, but dated over 1 year before time of employment. Corrected at time of inspection.
Records for staff members #1, #2, #3, #4 contained evidence of current Pediatric CPR/1st Aid, but obtained after the 90-day required interval. Corrected at time of inspection.
“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.
Complaint investigations and reported incidents
Pennsylvania’s search lists complaint investigations in which the state found at least one violation (“verified complaints”). It does not say what a complaint alleged, or whether every violation relates to it. Incident investigations look into something that happened at the center; self-reported violations are ones the center reported to the state itself.
