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 inspection was conducted on July 10, 2024 between the hours of 10:15am and 12:30pm. There were a total of 35 children with 8 staff members supervising. Children were observed during lunch time, engaged in group activities, toileting, handwashing, and outdoor play time. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, programming, medication, children and staff records, special care and emergencies and nutrition. The information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility. If you have any questions regarding this inspection, please contact the Licensing Inspector at Sheila.nelson@doe.virginia.gov or 804-629-7489.
Thank you for your cooperation during this inspection.
Based on record review and interview, the center failed to obtain a copy of the results of a sex offender registry check and an out-of-state child abuse and neglect search request from any state in which the individual has resided in the preceding five years. Evidence: 1. The file for Staff # 2 did not have documentation for the out-of-state child abuse and neglect registry search and the out-of-state sex offender registry check. The date of hire for Staff #2 is 02/14/24 and at the date of this inspection, the search has not be submitted. 2. The director confirmed the out-of-state child abuse and neglect search and the sex offender registry search had not been submitted for Staff #2.
Plan of Correction:
I will have both searches submitted by Friday, 7/12/24. Going forward, I will ensure all background searches are completed prior to the date of hire for all new employees.
