There were 2 cracked clear bins. One of the tables top surfaces torn off exposing the particle board underneath.
Based on a self-report made by the facility, on 12/22/25 staff #1 told child #1, a school aged child, that if the child did not sit down the child would be taped to their chair. Staff #1 reportedly made the statement jokingly to the child to encourage the child to comply with the request. Staff #1 took a piece of masking tape approximately 18 inches in length and attached it to the back of the chair the child was sitting in, then lightly draped it around the child's shoulder and attached the other end to the seat bottom. The tape came loose as soon as child #1 moved their arms.
There was an uncovered electrical outlet in the gym accessible to children 5 years of age or younger.
There was a broken orange cone.
The first-aid kit in the reading room lacked scissors.
On 6/7/24 a large crack was observed at the bottom of the green slide, attached to the climbing structure, in the outdoor play space. A piece of caution tape was around the top portion of the slide. The cracked plastic was accessible to children playing in the space.
There was a refrigerator with 48 degrees temperature in the cafeteria.
There was an EPI pen without the original box for child # 1.
“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.
