| Inspection Date | Reason | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-07-02 | Unannounced Monitoring | 3270.113(a)(1) - Staff assigned to specific children | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.113(a)(1) Description: Staff assigned to specific children Noncompliance Area: On 7/2/26 at approximately 9:00 AM, Staff Person #1 and #2 were observed outside lining school age children up for a field trip. Staff Person #1 was responsible for eight school age children and Staff Person #2 was responsible for nine school age children. When asked to identify the children in their group, Staff Person #1 could only name six of the eight children in their assigned group, and Staff Person #2 could only name eight of the nine children in their assigned group. Correction Required: Each staff person shall be assigned the responsibility for supervision of specific children. The staff person shall know the names and whereabouts of the children in his assigned group. The staff person shall be physically present with the children in his group on the facility premises and on facility excursions off the facility premises. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Staff person #1 knows the names of all the children that were in their care but got flustered and did not quickly name them fast enough and the children started shouting out names which further exacerbated the situation. Staff person #2 actually did name all 9 children but (again ) was very nervous and began to call one child by their nickname and then switched to the child's government name and that group also started yelling out the child's nickname which made it appear as if the staff person may have said the wrong name. Both staff have taken 2 hours of additional supervision training and have been advised to slowly and concisely name each child when asked. The children have been reminded to please keep quiet as to not add confusion to the situation. |

| 2026-04-02 | Unannounced Monitoring | 3270.113(a) - Supervised at all times | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.113(a) Description: Supervised at all times Noncompliance Area: Based on a review of video footage and staff interviews, it was confirmed that a physical altercation took place between a parent and Staff Person #1 on 3/18/2026 at 1:33 PM in the YT Room. The parent is seen punching the staff person multiple times. After the third punch, Staff Person #1 began to punch back. Although it was confirmed that the staff person was striking back in self-defense, Staff Person #1 could not directly supervise the children in care (two infants and one young toddler) due to the incident. Correction Required: Children on the facility premises and on facility excursions off the premises shall be supervised by a staff person at all times. Outdoor play space used by the facility is considered part of the facility premises. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Staff will ensure that in the event of an unprovoked assault, they will not take their eyes off of the children until another staff person is able to take over supervision of the children. |
|||
| 2026-04-02 | Unannounced Monitoring | 3270.21 - General Health and Safety | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.21 Description: General Health and Safety Noncompliance Area: Based on a review of video footage and staff interviews, it was confirmed that a physical altercation took place between a parent and Staff Person #1 on 3/18/2026 at 1:33 PM in the YT Room. The parent is seen punching the staff person multiple times. After the third punch, Staff Person #1 began to punch back. Although it was confirmed that the staff person was striking back in self-defense, this incident put the general health and safety of the children in care (two infants and one young toddler) at risk. Correction Required: Conditions at the facility may not pose a threat to the health or safety of the children. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Staff have been advised not to defend themselves if they are being assaulted while supervising children. Staff should wait until another staff person is able to step into the room and take over supervision of the children. At that point, the staff person that is being assaulted is to carefully move towards the nearest exit door and once outside of the center and away from the children, they may begin to defend themselves. Please note that in the video the staff person was supervising so well that they were able to stop the assailant from moving towards the children and push them back and out of the classroom door while getting their nose broken and requiring seven stitches in their mouth in the process. The parents of the children in the classroom, center management, the police officers on scene and staff that work at this center consider the staff person to actually be a hero that went above and beyond to ensure the health and safety of the children in their care. |

| 2026-04-02 | Complaints- Legal Location | 3270.23 - Parent Access & Participation | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.23 Description: Parent Access & Participation Noncompliance Area: Based on interviews with Staff, it was confirmed that Staff Person #3 and #4 hid Child #1, a young toddler, from a parent on 3/18/26 at 1:30 when the parent arrived at the facility to pick up the child. Staff #1 and #2 also knew the whereabouts of the child but did not disclose this to the parent. At this time, the child was in the OT Room being supervised by Staff Person #3 and #4 at naptime with 9 other YT/OT. Upon hearing the parent enter the facility, Staff Person #3 instructed Staff Person #4 to take the child to the back room so the parent would not know where the child was. Staff believed they were not supposed to release the child to this parent because they were given direction by Staff Person #5 that the child was only required to be released to this parent on Fridays due to the wording of a custody agreement. Staff Person #5 admitted to being unclear of the wording in 3270.23 and believed they were only required to release the child to the parent on Fridays. Correction Required: A parent of a child in care shall be permitted free access, without prior notice, throughout the center whenever children are in care, unless a court of competent jurisdiction has limited the parental right of access to the child and a copy of the order is on file at the facility. Opportunity shall be provided for parents to participate in the facility's program. The operator shall maintain a yearly file which documents general announcements to promote parent participation. The file shall be updated annually. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The center Director has instructed all staff to release children to a parent unless as stated by the Certification Representative, we have an order from CYF limiting the parent to Supervised visits. Staff person #5 had received from the parent of child #1 an order of Court custody from the Court of common Pleas of Allegheny county (Family Division) which staff person #5 believed to be a court of competent jurisdiction per regulation 3270.23. The contents of the custody order LIMITED the other parent to SPECIFIC dates and times to have custody of child #1 which staff person #5 believed had to be adhered to in order to be in compliance with both the state regulation and the court order. The wording in regulation 3270.23 does not state that limited access to a child is the equivalent of supervised CYF visits. Regulation 3270.23 does not spell out that a order from a court of competent jurisdiction does not include Family Court and that court ordered custody is a worthless piece of paper to have on file since a center is not able to enforce the order. The idea that parents that have custody issues should not have access to safe and affordable child care because it puts the center in the middle is an unfortunate stance to take and goes against the entire purpose of trying to provide a safe and stable environment for all children no matter what their parents situation might be. Staff person #5 is completely disheartened to have been citied for violating a regulation that is in essence not what it seems to be. Directors already have to be teachers, accountants, therapist, cooks, janitors , Physicians assistants and now we have to add on being schooled in the area of Regulatory Law in order to read between the lines of regulations that should be be black or white. This regulation seems very grey and should at a minimum be reworded to ensure that it can actually be adhered to in it's entirety . |
