Effective January 1, 2025, the VDOE will begin determining compliance with ? 22.1-289.057 of the Code of Virginia, which is legislation passed by the General Assembly in 2020. The law requires all licensed child day programs, religious exempt child day centers that serve preschool age children, and certified preschools to test potable drinking water. The law requires that programs submit their plans and test results to the Virginia Department of Health Office of Drinking Water (VDH ODW) and the Superintendent. If the results of the testing indicate elevated lead levels, the program shall remediate, retest, and resubmit results to VDH ODW and the Superintendent. There is an additional alternative bottled water option that comes with additional requirements. The statutory requirement can be found online at https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title22.1/chapter14.1/section22.1-289.057/.

An unannounced Monitoring inspection was conducted today. A total of 33 children with 8 staff providing direct supervision was onsite. The PreK class was offsite practicing their upcoming graduation ceremony. The Toddler 1 and 2 class was observed on the playground. Transitions from the playground back to their classrooms were observed. The Preschool 1 and 2 classes also spent time this morning on the playground. Staff were observed actively engaged with the children, offering cold water to drink and singing songs. The walls were decorated with artwork the children had completed such as bumble bees, fingerpainting and family boards. Staff was observed assisting a group in the Toddler 2 class with playing a memory game. In the Toddler 1 class, a bubble machine was blowing out bubbles above the children's heads as they played in a circle on the carpeted area. All medications onsite was reviewed. Lunch arrived during the inspection which coincided with the posted menu of chicken, carrots, rolls and fresh fruit. A total of 5 staff and 6 child files were reviewed. Annual training was also reviewed for staff. The previous violations from the last inspection was reviewed and the corrective actions were verified. This inspection occurred between 10:30am and 12:55pm. Thank you for your cooperation today. Please email me at: lisa.hudson@doe.virginia.gov with any questions.
