Questions to ask on a tour

Chosen for this facility's inspection history and profile — bring them along on your visit.

  1. Ask how they keep enrollment, immunization, and emergency-contact records current - their state findings include documentation lapses
  2. This is a small program - ask about backup care arrangements when the provider is ill or away
  3. For a home-based program, ask which areas of the home children use and who else is present during care hours
  4. They accept child care subsidies - ask what the enrollment process looks like and whether there is a waitlist for subsidized spots

2026

  1. Medium-High risk5/29/2026

    Comply with CPSL (3290.32(a))

    A renewal inspection was conducted at the facility on 529/26, at the time of inspection staff files were reviewed and found that staff person #1 did not update their clearances every 60 months as evidenced by a previous Pa Child Abuse clearance dated 4/16/21 and a current dated 5/20/26. Household member #2's most recent PA Child Abuse History clearance is dated 4/13/21. Requirement: The operator shall comply with the CPSL and with Chapter 3490 (relating to protective services). TIERED LIS: 1.The CPSL was revised to include a requirement that all clearances be updated and on file at least every 60 months. Clearances are required for the legal entity and for each individual 18 years of age or older who resides in the facility at least 30 days in a calendar year by the Department if an application for renewal is received following expiration of the current certificate of compliance. Household member # 2 may not be present in the home while children are receiving care. This requires an immediate correction. 2. The operator will create a form to track each staff and household member and their required clearances to assist with ongoing updates. This form will have due dates for all required clearances. This form must be approved by the Northeast Regional Office prior to use. The operator will ensure that this form is used during the hiring process and to track all required updates. This portion of the plan should reflect a date that allows for time to develop the form and implement it. Correction: 1.) Household Member #2 has obtained and updated their Pennsylvania Child Abuse Clearance, and a copy has been placed in the facility file. Household Member #2 was not present in the home during child care hours until the required clearance was received. Will comply with the CPSL at all times. 2.) In addition, the required Clearance Tracking Form has been created to monitor all required clearances for staff and household members, including renewal due dates. The form will be submitted to the Northeast Regional Office for approval and will be used to ensure all required clearances remain current. Inspection: Renewal.
