They took a review about my son's experience. In short he always seemed to have bumps on his head. Understandable. Not when he gets one the size of a golf ball. Nobody has a good explanation.

Facility Person # 1's previous DHS FBI clearance was dated 3/23/21.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) 1. As soon as the director was made aware Facility Person #1 was supervised with children, until the Director could send them home. Facility Person #1 obtained the DHS FBI clearance on 7/29/26 after leaving the facility for the day. Facility Person did not return to the facility until they had the DHS FBI clearance certificate. The operator will comply with the CPSL. 2. This situation occurred because the staff was working at another facility owned by the legal entity. When the Facility Person #1 transferred facilities, the director of this location was told that Facility Person #1 had all required documentation in their file. The director now realizes the importance of reviewing files to ensure compliance by seeing the documents themselves, even when told all items are present. The legal entity will create a written procedure for the transfer of staff from one of the legal entity's locations to another. This procedure shall include the roles and responsibilities of both the send and receiving facility administrative staff in ensuring the staff's file has all documentation present and acceptable. This procedure shall include a checklist for staff and facility persons files that addresses all necessary staff and facility persons file paperwork and time frames for renewals of paperwork as appropriate. The staff and facility persons file paperwork that must be addressed in this checklist includes but is not limited to PA clearances, Out of State clearances, and trainings as required by the CPSL and all documents required for staff and facility persons to be hired and continue working with children. The procedure will also include reminders of what clearances are and are not acceptable. The procedure must include the steps to be taken by both the sending and receiving location if a Staff's file is found to not have all documentation as required by the CPSL. The checklist and written procedure will be submitted to the Regional Office for approval. Once approved, all persons responsible for hiring and maintaining facility persons records at all locations owned by the legal entity will be trained on the approved procedures, and it will be documented in their files with signed acknowledgement of the procedures. |

|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The staff member is a Registered Nurse with an active license. Although they previously completed an approved 2-hour module intended for health-care professionals rather than childcare providers, they subsequently completed the required approved 3-hour childcare module to ensure full regulatory compliance. This demonstrates the staff member's commitment to meeting standards specific to childcare and to maintaining the highest level of professional preparedness. The operator will comply with the CPSL. |

|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) To ensure consistent implementation of our drills, we schedule them during the first week of every other month. Because this approach includes weekends and holidays, we must account for months with 31 days to avoid inadvertent scheduling gaps. Conducting a drill on November 6 and the next on January 6 resulted in a one-day compliance lapse. Adjusting dates proactively in months with 31 days will preserve continuous compliance. |
|||
| 2026-04-15 | Unannounced Monitoring | 3270.95(a)/3270.95(b) - Devices must be compliant/Director or designated staff person ensure compliance | Compliant - Finalized |

|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) To ensure consistent implementation of our fire alarm testing, we schedule them during the first week of every month. Because this approach includes weekends and holidays, we must account for months with 31 days to avoid inadvertent scheduling gaps. Conducting a drill on the same day each month, resulted in in a one-day compliance lapse. Adjusting dates proactively in months with 31 days will preserve continuous compliance. |
|||
| 2025-08-04 | Renewal | 3270.103 - Small Toys and Objects | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.103 Description: Small Toys and Objects Noncompliance Area: During a renewal inspection on 8/4/25 Cert rep observed a glove on the changing table in the Starfish room, and an open box of gloves on the changing table of the Sea turtles room. These gloves would have been accessible to the children while being changed. The children in these rooms are infants and toddlers who may still be placing objects in their mouths. Correction Required: Toys and objects with a diameter of less than 1 inch, objects with removable parts that have a diameter of less than 1 inch, plastic bags and styrofoam objects may not be accessible to children who are still placing objects in their mouths. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Although the glove was on the changing table was inaccessible to the infants at the time of inspection, the glove may have been in reach for the next infant placed on the table if not removed prior to placing them on the table. The one clean glove was found on the table, it was immediately discarded. Gloves are located at the end of the changing table in the young toddler classroom for easy access by staff members while changing diapers. Even though staff must remain immediately next to a child while changing to ensure safety, gloves nearby are the most convenient and safe. Children are changed with their head to the left side of the table, however, if a child was changed with their head on the right side of the changing table, they could potentially reach the box of gloves. Box of gloves was immediately moved to the counter on the other side of the diaper changing table to ensure it was out of reach of the child being changed. |

|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The thermometer was placed in the door instead of in the back main area of the refrigerator. Since door was just opened before the licensing representative checked it and all lunch items were placed inside, the thermometer was exposed to room temperature air causing it to rise a few degrees until the door shut. The thermometer was immediately placed in the back main area of the refrigerator. After an hour of time, thermometer was checked and reading the correct temperature. |

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The policy in place was previously shared with us from The Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL~ our licensing agency). This comprehensive information was copied and pasted into our documentation to meet regulations during that time. The center administrators did not receive any updated information on this policy. The licensing representative shared that the Federal Government informed the state of Pennsylvania that additional information on the prevention and identification of child maltreatment needed to be included in this document. Had we been informed, it would have been included. Once the state representative informed us of this update and send us the documentation, it was immediately added to our policy. Unfortunately, we are unable to modify any policy, state or federal, when we are not notified by any agency to do so. |

|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The required mandated reporter training was obtained prior to inspection. While the staff member was over her 60 months for the mandated reporter training, staff member has been employed since 2005 and has taken this specific training 5 times over the past 20 years of employment. The multitude of required trainings and optional trainings this staff person has taken has far exceeded the state and STARS guidelines for quantity, so fortunately, staff member is well versed in the regulations but lapsed in the 60-month renewal period. |

| 2025-08-04 | Renewal | 3270.32(a)/3270.192(4) - Comply with CPSL/CPSL information | Compliant - Finalized |

Employee sent the request to NSOR online prior to this date and received a verification from NSOR electronically that it was received. This verification was placed in the file as proof of submission just for extra proof of documentation. When the NSOR was received in the mail, there was a glitch in the Department of Human Services system creating a Status Date on the form that was not an actual date. The Department was contacted multiple times to rectify, and a corrected form was sent through the mail, but unfortunately, their date of process was not the original date that it was requested , it was the new date that they processed again seeming like there was a lapse. The correction was made prior to current inspection. |

|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) An additional trashcan was placed into the Sea Horse classroom. The lid appeared to have broken off and it was not immediately removed from the classroom at the time it broke.
