Citation Dec 10, 2021 Inspection Building & playground safety
Unsafe Areas in Outdoor Space/Building Surfaces 55 Pa. Code §3280.63/3280.76
During an initial inspection on 12/10/21, the outdoor play space has black tubing on the ground, cracks in the cement, uneven pavement, dirt and a set of steps accessible to children that makes the play space unsafe.
Center’s plan of correction (implemented, Dec 29, 2021): “I will fix the crack cement by getting it repave. I will also put a fence up to block the steps and black tube so the kids won't have access to it.”

“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.
