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/.

A Subsidy Health and Safety monitoring inspection was conducted on July 15, 2024 to review supplemental health and safety requirements. This inspection began at 12:25pm and ended at 2:00pm. There were 7 staff with 47 children in 5 classrooms at the time of the visit. At the start of the inspection, children were observed playing with various manipulatives, diapering, eating lunch and resttime. Children's files, emergency preparedness procedures, fire drill log were reviewed. The physical plant and playground were inspected. There were 2 medications on site at this time. A licensing inspection was also conducted on this date; the two inspections combined cover all subsidy health and safety requirements. Only subsidy requirements that are not covered in licensing standards are reviewed during this supplemental inspection.

No violations were found during the supplemental subsidy health and safety inspection requirements. Thank you for your cooperation today. Please email any questions to the licensing inspector at sheila.nelson@doe.virginia.gov
