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/.

Based on a review of records, video footage and interview, the center failed to maintain a written record of daily attendance that documents the arrival and departure of each child in care as it occurs. Evidence: The inspector reviewed attendance with the provider for April 25 and April 26, 2024. Review of the attendance shows there was no documentation of the arrival and departure of child #1 on April 25, 2024 and on April 26, 2024. Video footage showed child #1 in care on April 25, 2024 and April 25, 2024. The provider confirmed child #1 was in care on April 25 and April 26, 2024.
