Core safety Nov 4, 2021 Inspection Staff ratios
Mixed Age Level 55 Pa. Code §3270.52
Upon assessment of supervision and ratio in the Gross Motor Room on 11/4/21 at 10:50 AM, 2 staff were present with 12 children - 4 INF, 6 YT and 2 PS. Staff reported the other staff member stepped out for an emergency. After waiting in the room for the staff member to return for approximately 5 minutes, the cert rep located the staff member in the Director's office looking at the computer. Cert rep informed staff of ratio issue in Gross Motor Room and she left to return to the room.
Center’s plan of correction (implemented, Jan 27, 2022): “A staff member re-entered the room to correct ratio. Staff will maintain ratio at all times. In the mixed age level, the age of the youngest child will determine staff:child ratio and dictate our maximum group size in accordance of the regulations.”

“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.
