There were 9 children, totaling 27 points, under the supervision of 3 caregivers. During the inspection, children were observed in free play inside and outside. The interactions between the children and caregivers were seen to be positive and constructive in nature. Areas of noncompliance are identified on the violation notice. Should you have any questions, please contact me at eureka.nance@dss.virginia.gov.
Based on observation, accordion expansion gates were used as a protective barrier at stair openings. Evidence: 1.The bottom of the steps to the outdoor play area were blocked with an accordion gate. 2. The gate was not mounted and had diamond shaped openings between the slats which can result in a pinching hazard. 3. Children under two years of age were in care during the inspection and were in the outdoor play area.
Plan of Correction:
I will replace the gate with the proper gate. I will begin to put it in now (1:43 pm).
