2026-07-28 Renewal 3270.95(a)/3270.95(b) - Devices must be compliant/Director or designated staff person ensure compliance Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.95(a)/3270.95(b)

Description: Devices must be compliant/Director or designated staff person ensure compliance

Noncompliance Area: Based on the documentation on the Fire System Testing Log, testing was completed on the following dates, which exceeded the 30-day requirement: 1.2.26 and 2.2.26 (31 days), 3.2.26 and 4.6.26 (35 days), 5.1.26 and 6.1.26 (31 days).

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
The fire detection system was tested on site the same day as the inspection, 7/28/2026, and passed. The testing schedule was offset that same day, in front of the licensing representative, so each monthly test is completed within 30 days of the prior test. The system passed every test on record, including the three tests that fell one to five days past the 30 day mark.
2025-10-02 Unannounced Monitoring 3270.176(f) - Prohibition using an 11-15 passenger vans Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.176(f)

Description: Prohibition using an 11-15 passenger vans

Noncompliance Area: At the time of the inspection, Staff #1 did not allow the certification representatives to view the driver side door which identifies the number of passengers the vehicle can accommodate.

Correction Required: In accordance with the requirements of 67 Pa. Code Chapter 171 (relating to school buses and school vehicles), the facility may not transport a child in an 11-15 passenger van.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
The facility does not agree with the violation description, as the video footage from October 2, 2025 clearly shows that neither licensor (Nikki nor Maggi) requested to view, attempted to access, or made any effort to inspect the driver-side door at any point during the vehicle review. Both representatives remained on the passenger side of the van for the entire inspection, and no attempt was made to walk around the vehicle or inspect additional doors. As part of our corrective plan, we confirm that the van referenced in this citation has been formally and legally transferred to another company through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
2025-07-29 Renewal 3270.124(b)(7) - Name/address/phone release person Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.124(b)(7)

Description: Name/address/phone release person

Correction Required: Emergency contact information must include the name, address and telephone number of the individual designated by the parent to whom the child may be released.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
The emergency contact form for Child #1 was updated 7/29/25 to include the release person's address.
2025-07-29 Renewal 3270.82(h) - Handwashing signs Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.82(h)

Description: Handwashing signs

Noncompliance Area: In the bathroom (left), the sink and toilet lacked handwashing signs. In the bathroom (right), the sink lacked a handwashing sign.

Correction Required: A facility person and an able child shall wash his hands after toileting and before eating. A sign on which this requirement is written shall be posted at each toilet, training chair, diapering area and sink in the facility.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
All required handwashing signs were posted above sinks and toilets. The facility director verified placement and documented completion.
2025-06-26 Complaints- Legal Location 3270.175(b) - Used by all occupants Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.175(b)

Description: Used by all occupants

Noncompliance Area: Video footage from June 5, 2025, confirms that Staff Person #1 transported four children in a vehicle and did not ensure that all children were properly secured. Two children seated in the rear were observed without seat belts fastened and were able to move freely within their seats while the vehicle was in motion.

Correction Required: Safety restraints installed in the vehicle at the time of manufacturing shall be used by all occupants.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
The facility does not agree with the violation description, as no video has been produced, shown, authenticated, or provided to the facility or legal counsel at any time. The state's description alleges observations from a video that the facility has never seen, reviewed, or received, despite multiple inspections and ongoing communication with licensing (for months), CYF, and law enforcement. Additionally, the only children transported by Staff #1 during the time period in question were her own household children, not children enrolled in the childcare program. No childcare children were ever transported in the referenced vehicle. Furthermore, due to the heavy window tint and height of the vehicle, it would be physically impossible for an outside party to record clear footage of rear-seat restraints without being inside the vehicle. Because no authenticated video exists in the record---and because no agency presented such evidence during any prior inspection---the citation as written is unsupported by verifiable facts. Going forward, the facility will continue to maintain comprehensive audio and video documentation to ensure full accuracy and transparency in the event any future allegations are made.
2024-07-18 Renewal 3270.107 - Refrigerator Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.107

Description: Refrigerator

Noncompliance Area: The refrigerator in Room 1 contained a thermometer with a reading of 50 degrees.

Correction Required: A facility shall have an operable, clean refrigerator used to store potentially hazardous foods. The refrigerator shall be capable of maintaining food at 45° F or below. An operating thermometer shall be placed in the refrigerator.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
An operating thermometer was replaced with a new one.
2024-07-18 Renewal 3270.124(b)(2) - Physician name, address, phone Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.124(b)(2)

Description: Physician name, address, phone

Noncompliance Area: The emergency contact form for Child #2 and Child #5 lacked the name of the physician/medical provider. The emergency contact form for Child #1 lacked the address for the physician/medical provider.

Correction Required: Emergency contact information must include the name, address and telephone number of the child's physician or source of medical care.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
