On 6/21/22, Child # 1 walked out of the daycare unsupervised. The child can been seen on video beginning at 12:01p.m. quietly shutting doors, hiding behind bookshelves, hiding in other classrooms, and using a stairwell so that the child would not be seen by staff. At 12:03p.m., the Fire Chief was alerted by a passerby of the child outside. The Fire Chief proceeded down an alley in front of the facility and took custody of the child. During all this time, staff can be seen searching the facility inside and outside for the child. Around 12:09p.m. the police respond to the Fire Chief's call. The police were able to flag down the staff looking outside for the child. The child was then reunified with the staff and back in the center at 12:13pm. A lack of supervision occurred between the child and staff for approximately 12 minutes.
“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.
