Comments:
A Subsidy Health and Safety Inspection was conducted on Thursday, February 8, 2024. The inspector was on site from approximately 9:55am until 11:40am. During the inspection, there were a total of 11 children in care, totaling 30 points, in the direct care of three caregivers. The children were observed during free-play, dancing, singing, and watching television. All areas used for childcare were inspected. The family day home has age and stage appropriate materials and supplies. The caregivers were observed having positive interactions with the children in care. The first aid kit and non-emergency supplies were inspected and found complete. Per the provider, medication is not administered and transportation is not provided at this time. Three caregivers' records and five children's records were reviewed.
A licensing inspection was also conducted on this date. Both inspections combined cover subsidy health and safety regulations. Only subsidy requirements that are not covered in licensing standards were reviewed during this supplemental inspection. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
Based on a review of three caregivers' records and interview, the vendor did not ensure one caregiver completed the Virginia Preservice Training for Child Care Staff sponsored by the Department of Education within the first 90 days of employment.
Evidence: The certificate of training of the Virginia Preservice Training in the record of Caregiver #3, employed on 10/10/23, had a completion date of 01/20/24. During interview, Caregiver #1 acknowledged the training was completed more than 90 days after employment.
Plan of Correction:
Corrected. In the future, new caregivers will complete the training within 90 days of employment.
