An epi-pen and an inhaler were on site for child #2. The facility did not have medication logs on file for the medications and did not have signed parental consent for the administration of the medication.
The mandated reporter training on file for staff person #1 were dated 2-26-2020 and subsequently more than 60 months later on 3-26-25. During that time period, the staff person served in a childcare position for 2 days during the time period the training was lapsed.
The emergency contact information on file for child #1 did not include an address for a listed release person.
During the previous training year, staff person 1 completed a training that meets the professional development requirements under subsection 3270.31f. The staff person previously completed this training requirement and therefore cannot be counted towards annual training hours for the previous training year. Without counting the 10 hour training, the staff person completed 4 hours of training.
Staff person 1 is serving as an AGS at the facility. The staff person's record did not include documentation of 2,500 hours (2 years) of childcare experience.
Staff 1-3 were the three staff present at the facility at the time of inspection. None of the staff had a current "pediatric first-aid and pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation" training. The current first aid cards on file for staff 1-4 stated, "This program is not designed to meet pediatric first aid training regulatory requirements and should not be used for that purpose."
“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.
