Description:
The Grove City YMCA Childcare has a well-balanced program that fits the needs of the children according to their ages as well as their physical, educational and social growth. Children are natural learners. Requirements for optimal growth are: a good self image, a stimulating environment, direct experience with objects and people, the opportunity to make changes and loving, caring, caregivers. The Grove City YMCA provides all of these things plus much more. Along with being a DPW licensed facility and we also participate in Keystone STARS for quality improvement. Our teachers plan activities and write lesson plans based on early learning standards in Pennsylvania. Our Child Care serves children 6 weeks of age through fifthe grade utilizing a variety of programs.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

| 2017-03-06 | Renewal | 3270.113(a)(1) - Staff assigned to specific children | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Noncompliance Area: After all the children arrived in the cafeteria and were seated at the tables, I asked each of the three staff to tell me which children then had assigned to them. Staff #1 named 8 children, Staff #2 named 5 children and Staff #3 named 10 children bringing the total to 23 children. When I counted all the children the total was 25 leaving 2 out. When we tried it again looking at their tags each staff member had, it was the same. After a few minutes it was found that 2 of the tags of children who were in attendance were still in the box and not assigned to any staff member. 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.) Effective 3/13/17, each staff person will be assigned a specific group of children upon arrival. In the future, we will crosscheck the hip tags that are set out for check-in with the daily roster sheet for the appropriate day of the week to ensure that all children are accounted for and assigned to a staff member for proper supervision. |
