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:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on Monday, June 24, 2024, to determine the provider's compliance with licensing standards. The inspector was on site from 1:25pm to approximately 2:35pm. During the inspection, there were a total of 11 children in care, totaling 23 points, in the direct care of two caregivers. Upon arrival, the children were observed in their designated areas of the family day home. The children were observed resting and napping. 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 that were awake. The first aid kit and non-emergency supplies were inspected and found complete. Per the provider, transportation is not provided and medication is not administered at this time. Three caregivers' records and five children's records were reviewed. 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.
