Comments:
This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, necessary due to a state of emergency health pandemic declared by the Governor of Virginia.
A code compliance inspection was initiated on 03/15/2021 and concluded on 03/15/2021. The director was contacted by telephone to initiate the inspection. There were 53 children present and 10 staff. The inspector emailed the director a list of items required to complete the inspection. The Inspector reviewed 5 staff records submitted by the facility to ensure documentation was complete. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance(s) with applicable code sections and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility. The Licensing Inspector has reviewed with the provider COVID-19 Essential Guidance for Child Care programs.
Based on record review, the center did not ensure two of five staff records had documentation of central registry results within 30 days of employment. Evidence: 1. The record of staff #4 (start date: 9/10/2020) did not have documentation of central registry results. 2. The record of staff #5 (start date: 9/02/2020) did not have documentation of central registry results.
Plan of Correction:
We were going by the information that background checks were good for 5 years and did not realize that if an employee left for a year and came back, they would need a new one. Since both their background checks were under 5 years when they rejoined our staff, we did not run a new check on them. We will have new background checks run on both of these [staff] as soon as possible. [Staff #4] is out of town this week, so we will file both next week. I will send the results as soon as we get them.
