Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on 5/13/2024 from 11:58 am to 1:40 pm. There were 42 children in care ages three years to five years, in five groups with nine staff. Three child records, three staff records, one medication and associated records, and other documents were reviewed. Children were observed getting ready for nap.
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.
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.
Based on record review, the center failed to obtain the results of a child abuse and neglect registry from any state in which a staff person has resided in the preceding five years.
EVIDENCE: Staff 2 has a documented employment date of 9/25/2023 and there are no out-of-state child abuse and neglect search results in the record. The Sworn Disclosure statement from Staff 2 indicated this person lived in another state within the past five years.
Plan of Correction:
The out of state child abuse and neglect check is being obtained. From now on, these will be requested at the time of employment.
