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, on-site monitoring inspection was initiated and completed on 8/27/2024. The on-site inspection began at 11:30am and ended at 12:30pm. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas listed above. There were 8 children present and 3 caregivers; the point total was 18. The inspector reviewed three children's records and 3 caregiver records on-site. This inspection included document review, tour of the family day home, interviews and observations. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law, and violations are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.

Violations:

Standard #:	8VAC20-800-80-A
Description:	Based on record review and interview, the provider did not obtain verification of each child's identity within the first seven days of attendance. Evidence: Child #3 (date of enrollment 7/30/2024) record does not contain documentation that the provider has verified the child's identity. The provider confirmed that the family has not yet shown evidence of the child's identity.
Plan of Correction:	I will ask the family to bring the birth certificate today.
