Violations:
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-160-C
Description: Based on review, 1 of 3 Administrative Files indicated that it has been more than two years from the date of the tuberculosis documentation (TB) on file at the Child Day Center.

Evidence -
1. On the date of inspection (01/19/2023), current TB documentation was not available for review for Admin file #1.
2. This same documentation was cited during a previous inspection conducted on 07/06/2022.

Plan of Correction: An appointment was scheduled for next week in order to get updated TB documentation to be placed on file.

Standard #: 8VAC20-780-270-A
Description: Based on observation, a few areas inside of the center were not maintained in a safe and/or operable condition.

Evidence -
1. On the date of inspection (01/19/2023), a blind cord observed in the early Montessori room was broken. The cord hung low enough to where is was accessible to the children in care.
2. There were two holes observed in walls within the center. One, was located in the multi-purpose room behind one of the doors. The second, was located within Room #2 above a sink attached to the wall. It appears that the hole was caused when the soap dispenser (that was previously installed) was removed.

Plan of Correction: All areas will be addressed and/or fixed.
