Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) We acknowledge receipt of the Licensing Inspection Summary citing a non-compliance with the supervision requirement under Pa Code 3270.113. While we respect the certification representative's obligation to enforce the technical language of the code, we formally disagree with the finding of non-compliance. The purpose of Pa Code 3270.113 is to ensure children are protected and supervised at all times. During the documented moment, the staff members maintained active supervision by remaining within audible and visual range of all the children. The child was engaged in a structured activity and the staff to child ratio was maintained by the staff members present. The retrieval of the item that he placed in his mouth was within seconds and confirmed by staff and state representative. We assert that while the technical definition of "assess" may have been momentarily interpreted as non-compliant, the child was never without direct visual and auditory supervision by both staff members present and this was also confirmed by the state representative. We believe the full context demonstrates a commitment to active supervision principles that meets the spirit and intent of the regulation. 1. Children will be supervised at all times. 10/30/25. 2. All staff will participate in a supervision training on-site that we will register with state representative. 12/6/25. |
