Comments:
An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted from 9:10am-11:30am. At the time of entrance,56 children were in care with 23 staff members present. Children were observed during snack time, coloring, working on rhyme word worksheets, looking at books, playing in centers,diaper changes, washing hands, playing at the sensory table, engaged in group activities and outdoor play time. The site was clean, organized and contained an abundant supply of developmentally appropriate materials. Interactions between the children and staff were positive. A selection of staff and children records, the physical space, evacuation drills, attendance records, medications and the Emergency Preparedness Plan were reviewed. Areas of non-compliance are identified in the violation notice. Please contact me if you have any questions at Stacy.Doyle@dss.virginia.gov or 571-835-0386.
