File for staff person #1 and staff person #2, see code sheet for hire dates, contained an incorrect disclosure statement. A valid disclosure statement, based on these staff persons hire dates, was not observed on file.
It was observed in the outdoor play space that an AC unit was accessible to children in care. This unit contained an internal fan located on its front side with a metal guard. This guard did not have enough protection to keep smaller fingers from entering that area which in turn created a visible hazard.
The file for child #5 neither contained a written review of all the child's age appropriate immunization according to the recommendations of the ACIP, nor did the file contain a written exemption statement.
It was observed written on the medication log for child #3 that although staff were aware of a peanut allergy for child #3, they gave the child peanut butter causing the need to administer medication due to this staff person's error.

The most recent child service reports observed on file for child #2, see code sheet for enrollment date, were dated 5/23/22 and 2/14/23. Therefore, the updated child service report was completed more than 6 months from the previously completed child service report on file.
Emergency contact form for child #1 and #2 did not contain the address of the designated release persons.
On 10/28/22, it was stated by facility staff that child #1 fell into the corner of the raised wooden sandbox in the outdoor play space which caused the child to need stitches due to the sharp corners of that sandbox.

Files for staff person #1-#6 did not contain documentation of having completed pediatric CPR and first aid training. It was observed and stated during inspection that no staff present between the hours of 6am and 9am have documented completion of pediatric CPR and first aid training on file.
“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.
