Technical Assistance:
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 visit and facility tour was conducted on 07/09/2024. At the time of inspectors' arrival there were 12 infant aged children in care with 4 staff members and 2 administrators. Children were observed interacting with staff, sleeping, being fed, diapered, and hand washing. A sample of 5 children's records and 5 staff records were reviewed. Director reported that there have been no injuries and medications are not being administered at this time. Areas of noncompliance are identified on the violation notice and were discussed with the director in an exit meeting at the conclusion of this inspection.
Based on record review and interview it was determined the center did not ensure each staff member obtained the results of f follow up tuberculosis screening at least every two years from the date of the first initial screening or testing, or more frequently as if recommended by a licensed physician or the local health department. Evidence: 1. The record for staff #5(hired 6/21/21) did not contain the results of a follow up tuberculosis screening. The documentation available was dated 8/23/.21. 2. Staff confirmed they did not have an updated tuberculosis screening.
Plan of Correction:
Staff #5 will get a follow up tuberculosis screening.
Standard #:
