Comments:
A complaint inspection was initiated on 10/26/21 and concluded on 11/12/21. The complaint was received by the department regarding allegations in the areas of supervision, staffing, behavior guidance, and care and protection. 2 staff members were interviewed, 1 child's record, children's injury report logs and documentation of daily reports were reviewed. A walk through of the center was conducted to assess the physical space used for children. Based on the preponderance of evidence, the allegations related to care and protection were deemed valid, and violations were issued. For any questions regarding this inspection, please contact me at (571)-835-4718 or mahrukh.aziz@doe.virginia.gov.
Based on records review, observation of pictures, and staff interview, staff supervising children did not always ensure their care and protection. Evidence: 1. On 8/31/21, Child # 1 in the three?s classroom wore another child?s used face mask for part of the day. 2. On the program used by the center to update and communicate with parents, two pictures on 8/31/2021 at 10:15 am and 11:01 am showed Child # 1 wearing his own mask brought from home. Two pictures from 4:37 pm and 4:50 pm showed Child # 1 wearing a navy blue mask which did not belong to him. 3. The daily report message from 8/31/21 included a comment from Staff # 1 to Child #1?s parent at 5:55pm stating ?Oh my goodness. I am terribly sorry. We place the masks on a table when eating and I must have switched his mask. It will not happen again?. 4. During the staff interview, Staff # 1 stated that staff ask the children to place their masks in their cubbies when going on the playground. Staff # 1 stated that after returning from the playground, children reach into their cubbies to get their masks back on. Staff # 1 stated that she thinks Child # 1 accidentally took another child?s mask and put it on.
Plan of Correction:
Children switched masks within each other, make sure to ask parents to label all masks from now on from outside to have it more visible for teachers.
