During a renewal inspection on 4/24/26 Cert rep observed hanging loose cords from a telephone, speaker and electronic window sign in 1st Floor Room 2 as well as hanging loose cords from a mounted TV in the Basement. These cords were accessible to children and create a pulling hazard. Cert rep also observed the free standing sink was not securely attached to the wall in the 1st floor girl's bathroom, and the Basement bathroom. Children would be able to climb or hang on the sink which creates a hazard as it could fall on children if it detached fully from the wall.

“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.
