Technical Assistance:
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:
Today an unannounced monitoring Inspection took place between the hours of 12:20pm and 1:50pm. There were 7 classrooms observed with a total of 75 children with 11 staff within the supervision guidelines. The children were observed napping. A complete inspection of the physical plant, children and staff records and emergency procedures were observed during this inspection. There was an abundant supply of materials for the children. There was an adequate number of staff with current certification in MAT, CPR and First Aid, as well as DHO training. Staff-to-child ratios were in compliance. Areas of non-compliance are identified on the Violation Notice.

Thank you for your cooperation during the inspection. If you have any questions, please e-mail me at whitney.mcgrath@doe.virginia.gov.

Violations:
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-450-A
Description: Based on observation, mats used by children did not meet all requirements.
Evidence:
1. 7 out of 13 children observed resting in room 1 did not have a bottom sheet.
2. 9 out of 14 children observed resting in room 2 did not have a bottom sheet.
3. 11 out of 14 children observed resting in room 3 did not have a bottom sheet.

Plan of Correction: We didn't know that children sleeping on the mats needed to have a bottom sheet. They all have blankets. We will send out an email to the parents and request that they all start sending a sheet for naptime.
