Comments:
An unannounced Renewal inspection was conducted this date. A total of 70 children with 11 staff were observed on site today. All children and staff were in the main programming space due to an HVAC maintenance issue. The children were observed sitting at tables having lunch. Lunch today was cheese quesadillas, salad and fresh fruit with milk to drink. The transition from lunch, to washing hands to preparing for nap time was observed. Observation of all 5 classrooms was made, review of medication and a total of 4 children's records and 3 staff records were reviewed. The center's revised emergency preparedness plan was also reviewed. Thank you for your cooperation today. Please email me at: lisa.hudson@doe.virginia.gov with questions.
