Technical Assistance:

Effective January 1, 2025, the VDOE will begin determining compliance with ? 22.1-289.057 of the Code of Virginia, which is legislation passed by the General Assembly in 2020. The law requires all licensed child day programs, religious exempt child day centers that serve preschool age children, and certified preschools to test potable drinking water. 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. If the results of the testing indicate elevated lead levels, the program shall remediate, retest, and resubmit results to VDH ODW and the Superintendent. There is an additional alternative bottled water option that comes with additional requirements. The statutory requirement can be found online at https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title22.1/chapter14.1/section22.1-289.057/. Resources are now available for providers on the "What's New" webpage on the ChildCareVA website at https://www.childcare.virginia.gov/providers/what-s-new.

Comments:

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on Monday, June 10, 2024, to determine the center's compliance with licensing standards. The inspector was on site from 9:40am to approximately 12:14pm. There were 25 children present and eight staff members directly supervising. Upon arrival, the children were observed in different areas of the center. Some children were in their classrooms, in the hallways during transitions, and outside in their designated playground. Later, the children were observed preparing for lunch and rest time. The center is equipped with age and stage appropriate materials and equipment for the children's use. Staff were engaged with the children and were observed offering guidance when needed. The areas where the children receive care were inspected and found to be in compliance. The center had the following posted: license, daily schedules, emergency numbers, evacuation maps, menu, and various parent information. The center's first aid kit and non-emergency supplies were inspected and found complete. Medication is administered and medications and authorizations were reviewed. Transportation is not provided. Five children's records and five staff records were reviewed. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program. If you have any questions about this inspection, please contact Florence Martus, Licensing Inspector at 804-389-0157 or Florence.martus@doe.virginia.gov.
