Comments:
A monitoring inspection was initiated on 03/07/2024 and concluded on 03/07/2024 from 10:39 AM to 12:45 PM. There were 68 children present, ranging in ages from 19 months to 6 years, with 12 staff. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, programming, medication, special care and emergencies. A total of six children?s records and the four staff?s records were reviewed.

Information gathered during the inspection determined noncompliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility.

Violations:
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-240-A
Description: Based on record review, the center did not ensure that all staff completed the Virginia Department of Education-sponsored orientation course shall be completed within 90 calendar days of employment.

Evidence:
1. The record of Staff 2 (DOH 02/28/2024) contained documentation of VDOE-sponsored orientation course dated 06/01/2023.

Plan of Correction: The date of the orientation expectation for new staff will be moved from 90 days to 60 days. This way we can ensure it will get completed.

Standard #: 8VAC20-780-270-A
Description: Based on observation, the center failed to ensure that areas and equipment shall be maintained in a safe condition.

Evidence:
1. The Pre Primary classroom had unlocked doors that went into a kitchen space. There were knives in a drying rack and in a drawer in the kitchen.
2. The administrator said that the knives are not currently being put away in a locked drawer.

Plan of Correction: There will be locks added to the drawer that has the knives in it.
