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 60-day monitoring inspection was conducted on 6/4/24 from 9:40am to 10:55am with the provider and one new assistant. There were six children in care, ranging in age from 13-months to three-years-old, for a total of 17 points. Children were observed having free play, reading and discussing a book about fruits, washing hands, eating a snack, and doing puzzles. Five child records and one assistant record were reviewed. The provider and assistant have current certification in CPR and First Aid. The provider is not administering medication at this time, and is aware of the requirement to obtain Medication Administration Training before changing their policy. Morning snack served was apples, crackers, and milk. The emergency drill log, attendance, and menu were also reviewed. If you have questions regarding this inspection, please contact the Licensing Inspector, Laura Brindle, at laura.brindle@doe.virginia.gov or 540-905-2062.
