Technical Assistance:
The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) assumed oversight of child care licensing and monitoring on July 1, 2021. All associated regulations and codes have transferred over from the Virginia Department of Social Services. Guidance, resources and training links can be found on the new website childcareva.com. The violations listed below reflect the new VDOE codes and standards.
Comments:
This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, including telephone contacts, documents review, interviews and a virtual tour of the program.
An initial inspection was initiated on 8/30/2021. The director was contacted by telephone and a virtual inspection was conducted. There were no children present. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, programming, medication, special care and emergencies and nutrition. A total of 6 staff records were reviewed. The classrooms were setup with supplies and materials that were age appropriate. Emergency trainings, first aid kits, plans/maps and numbers were reviewed. The recommended total capacity is based on the square footage provided in the initial application and is subject to change once onsite measurements are obtained. Reviewed COVID guidance for masking. 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. Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance.
