Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliances with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility. Please complete the 'plan of correction' and 'date to be corrected' for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to me within 5 business days from the date of receipt. Please specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Your plan of correction should contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standards, 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again, and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measure(s). The licensing inspector has reviewed with the provider COVID-19 Essential Guidance for Child Care programs.

Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-185-130-A
Description:	Based on a review of four children's records, the center did not obtain documentation that two out of four children had received the immunizations by the State Board of Health before the child attended the center. Evidence: 1) The immunization documentation in the record for Child #2, enrolled on 03/30/21, was dated 03/31/21. 2) The immunization documentation in the record for Child #3, enrolled on 03/30/21, was dated 03/31/21. 3) During interview, a member of management reported the immunization records for Child #2 and Child #3 were submitted after the children attended the center.
Plan of Correction:	Per the Center: "All children enrolling will have a completed school physical and shot record to attend. The director will check to make sure of the dates on the forms are current."
Standard #:	22VAC40-185-510-N
Description:	Based on a review of records and interview, the center did not notify a parent after a medication authorization expired that the medication needed to be picked up within 14 days and did not dispose of the medication that was not picked up within the required time frame. Evidence: 1) A medication authorization for a prescription medication was observed for Child #5. The center had written authorization from the child's parent to administer the prescription medication, but there was no written authorization from the child's physician on file. The parent's authorization was signed on 04/14/21 and expired after 10 work days. The medication was still on site at the time of inspection. 2) During interview, a member of management acknowledged the child's guardian was not notified that the authorization was expired and that the medication has not been properly disposed of. When an authorization for medication expires, the parent shall be notified that the medication needs to be picked up within 14 days or the parent must renew the authorization. Medications that are not picked up by the parent within 14 days will be disposed of by the center by either dissolving the medication down the sink or flushing it down the toilet.
Plan of Correction:	Per the Center: "I will notify the parent that the medication has expired and ask the parent to pick up the medication within 14 days."
Standard #:	22VAC40-185-550-M
Description:	Based on a review of five injury records, the center did not ensure five of the written records of children's serious and minor injuries contained the required information. Evidence: 1) Five injury records reviewed did not contain documentation of any future action to prevent recurrence of the injury.
Plan of Correction:	Per the Center: "We will make sure that on our reports we include 'in the future I will'."
Standard #:	22VAC40-191-40-D-1-A
Description:	Based on review of records and interview, the center did not obtain required background checks for each board officer and agent within 30 days after the change. Evidence: 1) The record for Officer #1 (office date 07/31/2020) did not contain central registry results or a sworn statement. 2) The record for Officer #2 (office date 07/31/2020) did not contain central registry results or a sworn statement. 3) The record for Officer #3 (office date 07/31/2020) did not contain central registry results or a sworn statement. 4) During interview, Officer #2 reported Officer #1, Officer #2, and Officer #3 were appointed to office on 07/31/2020, but the required central registry results and sworn statement for each officer were not obtained within 30 days after the change.
Plan of Correction:	Per the Center: "The officers are working on obtaining the documents needed. I will follow up with [Officer] to see when they will be completed."
Standard #:	63.2(17)-1721.1-B-2
Description:	Based on a review of records and interview, the center did not obtain a fingerprint based national criminal history check for three out of three board officers within 30 days after the change.

Standard #:	63.2(17)-1721.1-B-4
Description:	Based on record review and interview, the center did not obtain the results of an out-of-state child abuse and neglect search, out-of-state criminal history record information check, and out-of-state sex offender registry check by the end of the 30th day for all new officers from any state in which the individual has resided in the preceding five years as required. Evidence: 1) Documentation reviewed indicated Officer #1 (office date 07/31/2020) resided outside of Virginia within the past 5 years. The record did not contain a sex offender registry check or the results of a child abuse and neglect search from the state Officer #1 had resided. The state is a National Fingerprint File(NFF) state; therefore, an out of state criminal history name check is not required. 2) Documentation reviewed indicated Officer #2 (office date 07/31/2020) resided in two states outside of Virginia within the past 5 years. The record did not contain a sex offender registry check, the results of a child abuse and neglect search, or criminal history record information check from each state Officer #2 had resided. 3) Documentation reviewed indicated Officer #3 (office date 07/31/2020) resided outside of Virginia within the past 5 years.

Plan of Correction:	Per the Center: "The corporate officers are working on getting the required documents completed. The Director will check that this is being done. In the future the Director will assure all documents required will be completed and the director will follow up with our corporate office."
