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/.

Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was initiated on Wednesday, May 15, 2024 and concluded on Thursday, May 16, 2024. On May 16, the inspector was on site from 4:30pm to approximately 5:20pm. There were a total of nine children present in the direct care of two staff members. During the inspection, the children were observed in the cafeteria after snack, washing hands, and reading books. The staff were observed having positive interactions with the children. All areas used by the program were inspected to include the cafeteria, bathrooms, and outdoor play area. The required postings were reviewed and found to be in compliance. The program is equipped with toys and supplies and items were available to the children. Medication is administered when required, but there were no medications on site at the time of the inspection. Five children's records and two staff records were reviewed. On May 15, the inspector was at the center's administrative office to review staff records from 10:25am to approximately 12:50pm.
Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
(Repeat Violation) Based on a review of two staff records and interviews, the center did not obtain documentation that two staff had a follow-up tuberculosis (TB) screening at least every two years from the date of the first initial screening or testing.
Evidence: 1. The most recent TB screening in the record of Staff #1, employed on 06/07/21, was dated 01/21/22. During interview, a member of management reported Staff #1 has not submitted the results of a follow-up TB screening. An updated TB screening should have been obtained no later than 01/21/24.
2. The most recent TB screening in the record of Staff #2, employed on 06/14/21, was dated 09/05/21. During interview, a member of management reported an updated TB screening was not on file for Staff #1. An updated TB screening should have been obtained no later than 09/05/23.
