The inspector observed a medication log for child #1 in the preschool room to be missing the child's name and name of the medication the child was prescribed.
The inspector observed emergency contact information in each childcare space however the information was missing some of the required information.
While at the facility unannounced on 5/28/25 for the renewal the inspector reviewed the staff files and found that staff #1 was hired with a volunteer Pa State Police clearance and volunteer PA Child Abuse clearance. Staff #1also did not submit for the required out of state clearances at the time of hire (see LIS Code Sheet for DOH) as evidenced by the three completed out of state clearances being obtained on 4/15/25, 4/22/25, and 4/16/25.
“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.
