Comments:
Conducted an unannounced renewal inspection at 11:25am-3:30pm. Observed 84 children + 30 direct-care staff. Ratios and supervision were in compliance. Children were observed in a variety of activities to include playing with toys and blocks, creative play, making art projects, story-time, handwashing and eating lunch. The program areas were found to be clean and well supplied with toys and equipment for the children. Today the air condition on the 2nd floor of the building was not working properly so classes were moved to classrooms on the 3rd floor until repairs are made, which are expected tonight. Areas of non-compliance with standards and laws reviewed were found. Questions about this inspection may be directed to pamela.sneed@doe.virginia.gov
