Facility self-reported non-compliance: Staff 1 and 2 lined up children at the classroom door to go outside. The staff did count the children then proceeded to the outside door (which was next to their classroom door, at the end of the hallway - less than a few feet away from the classroom door). The staff opened the outside door - one staff holding the door just out of sight of the classroom, the other at the front of the line- as the children exited, stopping at the gate to the playground, to do name to face when they realized a child was not with them. The staff backed up the look in the classroom and saw the child. The child was in the classroom, unsupervised, for less than 1 minute.
This complaint is verified due to Staff #1 and Staff #2 both stated to certification rep the infant was left alone in the classroom unsupervised during the fire drill.
“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.
