The law requires that programs submit their plans and test results to the Virginia Department of Health Office of Drinking Water (VDH ODW) and the Superintendent.

There is an additional alternative bottled water option that comes with additional requirements.

Comments:

This monitoring inspection was initiated by licensing staff and concluded on 05/24/2024, between the hours of 9:30 am to 11:30 am. There were 63 preschool children present with 9 staff providing supervision across 4 separate classrooms. The children were engaged in the following: graduation day, center activities within their classroom, outside time on the center playground, clean-up, bathroom breaks, hand washing, and other organized activities. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration; physical plant; staffing and supervision; programming; medication (2); special care and emergencies; and nutrition. A total of 5 children files were reviewed. Staff files will be reviewed during a separate inspection next month through the PRCS main office in Leesburg. Information gathered during the inspection determined that there was not a violation to an applicable standard, code, and/or law. Therefore, a Violation Notice was not issued. If you should have any questions, please call or send an email to charlie.perkins@doe.virginia.gov. Thank you. Charlie Perkins, Licensing Inspector (703) 309-3963
