Inspection Date Reason Description Status
2026-06-24 Incident Investigation 3270.101(a) - Age appropriate Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.101(a)

Description: Age appropriate

Noncompliance Area: It was reported that an 8-year-old child fell down a slide and fractured her elbow on 6/5/26. During incident investigation, rep obtained a written statement from the staff who was present during the incident. The written statement confirms that although the staff was actively supervising his group of children on the playground, the staff also allowed children of all ages to utilize the slide. The manufacturer's suggested age range for this slide is 2-6 years of age.

Correction Required: Play equipment and materials appropriate to the developmental needs, individual interests and ages of the children shall be provided in sufficient amount and variety to preclude long waits for use.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
We have taken the following corrective actions intended to prevent future incidents and ensure compliance with safety regulations: · The play slide involved in the incident has been removed from the playground. · A comprehensive assessment of all playground equipment will be conducted to ensure that each piece is appropriate for the age group of children using it and that manufacturer-recommended age ranges are followed. · Staff members have been educated on playground safety regulations, including the importance of adhering to manufacturer age recommendations and providing appropriate supervision. · A playground map has been developed identifying which age groups are permitted to use each playground area and its equipment. This map has been shared with all staff and will be used to ensure children only access age-appropriate playgrounds. · Ongoing monitoring will be conducted by program administration to verify that playground assignments and equipment use remain in compliance with manufacturer recommendations and DHS regulations. Playground safety and age-appropriate equipment use will be reviewed with staff during orientation for new employees and reinforced during regular staff meetings.
2025-12-18 Complaints- Legal Location 3270.51/3270.52 - Similar Age Level/Mixed Age Level Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.51/3270.52

Description: Similar Age Level/Mixed Age Level

Noncompliance Area: During a complaint investigation on 12/18/25, Staff disclosed that the PSP room was out of ratio for 5 minutes prior to rep arriving. One staff was responsible for 8 children. Additionally, staff also disclosed that during the summer of 2025, Ratios were 1:17 in the pre k room.

Correction Required: When children are grouped in similar age levels, the following maximum child group sizes and ratios of staff persons apply: Infants 1:4 with a maximum group size of 8; Young toddlers 1:5 with a maximum group size of 10; Older toddlers 1:6 with a maximum group size of 12; Preschool children 1:10 with a maximum group size of 20; Young school-age children 1:12 with a maximum group size of 24; Older school-age children 1:15 with a maximum group size of 30. When children are grouped in mixed age levels, the age of the youngest child in the group determines the staff:child ratio and maximum group size in accordance with the requirements in § 3270.51 (relating to similar age level). TIERED LIS: 1. The required staff:child ratios must be maintained at all times. This portion shall have an immediate correction date. 2. The legal entity must submit a written policy stating how they will maintain the required staff:child ratios at all times. The legal entity will need to review this policy regularly to ensure compliance. This policy must be approved by DHS before implementation. The operator shall provide a date for when this policy will be created.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Corrective Action Required -- PA Code § 3270.51 The legal entity maintains procedures intended to ensure compliance with staff-to-child ratio requirements pursuant to 55 Pa. Code § 3270.51. At the time of the complaint investigation, no contemporaneous documentation, supervisory reports, or administrative records substantiated that a classroom was out of ratio, nor was program leadership notified of a ratio concern on the date referenced. Additionally, the program does not maintain records confirming the staffing ratios alleged to have occurred during Summer 2025. Notwithstanding the absence of documented noncompliance, the legal entity recognizes the importance of continued vigilance and system-level safeguards to ensure ratios are maintained at all times. Tier 1 -- Immediate Correction Effective immediately, the operator has reinforced internal monitoring procedures to ensure that required staff:child ratios are maintained at all times, including during classroom transitions, staff breaks, and unplanned coverage changes. Supervisory staff are responsible for verifying ratios throughout the day and initiating corrective coverage prior to any potential ratio concern.

2024-07-24 Unannounced Monitoring 3270.69(a) - Running water/ safe drinking water Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.69(a)

Description: Running water/ safe drinking water

Noncompliance Area: On 04/29/24, the inspector reviewed the PWS Compliance Status letter (dated 4/26/24) and found that there were several areas of noncompliance related to the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P.S. §§721.1-721.17) that require corrections. As of 7/24/24 the facility has not been able to supply the inspector with a PWS Compliance Staus letter indicating that the facility is in compliance with the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P.S. §§721.1-721.17).

Correction Required: A facility shall provide running water and a safe and adequate supply of drinking water that complies with the standards established under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P.S. §§721.1-721.17).

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
These are the current measures we have taken at the facility as of 6/24/24 to correct the violation. The facility has had running water and continues to have running water. The facility was never under a boil advisory from DEP, therefore we are currently able to use the water for drinking, handwashing, and toileting. As an added measure for quality assurance, we have established a contract with Tulpehocken Spring Water Company and are providing bottled water for drinking to the students and staff within the building. This ensures we meet the regulation of providing an adequate supply of drinking water within the facility. This measure has added additional costs to the facility. To clear the PWS letter from DEP, the following steps are being taken in response to their guidance: 1. Milns Engineering has conducted a feasibility study and written a proposal for the installation of a chemical addition to the system to satisfy the violation. This was submitted to DEP on 8/2/24. 2. DEP will review this proposal and issue a permit update with information on what needs to be installed. 3. Milns and UMS will contract with a plumber to install the system. 4. DEP will then verify the construction is complete and will sign off on the Certificate of Construction. 5. DEP will clear the violation and issue the PWS letter. The anticipated Plan of Correction date is 9/3/24, based on the reviews required by DEP.
