An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted at Precious Blood Catholic Church on 10/28/19 from 10:50 am until 2:30 pm to review the religious exempt requirements. At the time of the inspection four children were present with two staff in the four's classroom and eight children were present with two staff in the three's classroom. The sample size consisted of eight staff's records and five children's records. Children and staff were observed during free indoor and outdoor play, educational and artistic activities, story time, hand washing, bathroom break, going on a walk, lunch, departure, nap, transitions and behavioral guidance. Violations were found during this inspection and are documented on the violation notice. If you have questions or concerns contact the licensing inspector at (540) 292-5933 for further assistance.
Based on record review and interview, the center failed to have staff sign a sworn disclosure statement prior to the first day of employment and have documentation of a completed central registry record check by the end of the 30th day of employment.
Evidence:
1. The records of the eight staff were reviewed. Staff 6's record did not contain documentation of a sworn disclosure statement. The start date for staff 6 was in 2014. 2. The staff member that maintains staff paperwork verified she did not have a sworn statement for staff 6. Staff 6 stated she believes she did complete one but does not know what happened to it. 3. Staff 6 stated the Diocese documents the findings of the central registry background checks and then shreds the documents. This information was provided 11/11/19.
Plan of Correction:
Staff 6 completed a sworn disclosure statement during the inspection. All staff will be required to complete the documentation for a new central registry background check and will be mailed by 11/21/19. The results will be filed in each staff record. In the future the school will ensure all staff associated with the exemption complete a sworn disclosure statement prior to working with children and the documentation for central registry check will be mailed upon hire. All results will be kept in the staff records at the facility.
