The files for Staff #4, #8, and #11, all of whom having worked in a child care position for more than 90 days, did not include documentation of the completion of Pediatric CPR/First-Aid training.
Center’s plan of correction (implemented, Feb 16, 2022): “All staff will complete pediatric CPR/First Aid training.”

“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.
