Inspection Date Reason Description Status
2026-02-23 Renewal 3280.135(a)(3) - Disposable diapers Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3280.135(a)(3)

Description: Disposable diapers

Noncompliance Area: Observed a soiled diaper being placed in a lidded waste receptacle instead of a plastic-lined, hands-free covered can.

During the inspection, a lined, hands-free gravity-driven diaper can was being used for diaper changes. I was unaware that the state no longer accepts this type of can as hands-free. Additionally, I was not provided with any proof that providers were notified of this change by either Mary Hall or OCDEL. The can was subsequently replaced with a senior hands-free lined diaper can that operates with hand motion.

Before the inspection in February 2025, the fire company conducted the annual inspection of the daycare on January 21st, 2025. The heaters were visible and in use, and there were no reported issues regarding their use with the children. We inquired with the Fire Inspection about any ordinances that may have been in effect at the time of the inspection, but there were none. It's important to note past (DPW) inspections only require the fire company¿s inspection report and that the heater manuals be kept on hand. However, on the day of the inspection, there was now a requirement for additional paperwork to be included in the inspection report. As a result, the fire company provided me with the necessary documentation to be added for the space heaters.

Correction Required: Floors, walls, ceilings and other surfaces, including the facility's outdoor play space surfaces shall be kept clean, in good repair and free from visible hazards.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
I will inspect the chain link fence to ensure it is in good repair after Pennsylvania's winter weather. If there is any damage, I will either repair it myself or hire a fence company to do so before the children start using the play yard in the Spring. The play yard was inspected and deemed usable in February 2023 by DPW, but any damage that occurred during the winter months and was out of my control will be addressed before the children start using the play yard in the spring of 2024. To correct the citation, I hired a professional to replace the chain link fence and repair any damage. The photos and invoice were then sent to DPW. Before any children occupied the play area.
