Comments:
An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted on 7/6/23 from 11:00am until 12:45pm. At the time of the inspection, there were 19 children in care with 8 staff present. A sample of 5 children's records and 5 staff records were reviewed. Children were observed eating lunch, engaging in story time and resting quietly during nap. Lunch service and handwashing procedures were also observed. First aid and emergency supplies, the emergency preparedness plan, documentation of emergency practice drills, medication and required center postings were reviewed. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law. Violations are listed on the violation notice issued to the center and were discussed with the center owner during the exit interview.

Violations:
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-70
Description: Based on record review and interview, the center did not ensure that staff records contain all the required information.

Evidence:
1. The record for staff 1 (date of hire: 6/3/21) does not contain her job title of program leader.
2. The center director confirmed that the record for staff 1 is lacking documentation of her job title.

Plan of Correction: The center responded with the following: This was corrected during the inspection. Going forward, the center owner will ensure each staff's position title is documented in their record.

Standard #: 8VAC20-780-510-E
Description: Based on medication review and interview, the center did not ensure that procedures for administering long-term prescription medication shall be allowed with written authorization from the child's physician and parent.

Evidence:
1. There is an emergency prescription medication being stored at the center for a child 1. There is no written authorization from the child's physician or parent for the center to administer the emergency medication.
2. The center director confirmed that the written authorization from the physician and the parent to administer emergency medication to child 1 is missing from the child's record.

Plan of Correction: The center responded with the following: The center had obtained written authorization from the parent and physician to administer the emergency medication to child 1; however, the form was mistakenly disposed of. The center owner will contact the child's parent today to obtain a new authorization form.
