Standard #: 22VAC40-185-340-B Complaint related: No Description: Based on interview, during the center's hours of operation, one adult on the premises was not in charge of the administration of the center. Evidence: 1. The inspector arrived at the center for an inspection at 1:25pm and asked staff where the director was and staff #1 reported she was at lunch. When asked who was in charge, staff #1 stated she was not sure who was in charge, maybe staff #2. When staff #2 was asked if she was in charge, she stated she was not in charge. 3. Staff #3 acknowledged there was confusion on who was in charge when she was not present. Plan of Correction: The director will make sure someone who is qualified is in charge when she is not present.
Standard #: 22VAC40-185-400-A Complaint related: No Description: The center failed to promote the child's physical, intellectual, emotional, and social well-being and growth, by interacting with a child and one another to provide needed help, comfort, and support. Evidence: 1. The inspector reviewed a video from the center that showed staff #1 walking child #1 into a closet with the door remaining open. The video was brief so it was unable to be determined how long the child was in the closet. 2. The inspector interviewed staff #1 who stated child #1 was upset and in the closet for less than 5 minutes and the closet was used as a quiet place to calm down. Staff #1 stated that children used to go in the closet to get toys and to calm down but the policy was now changed and there was a lock on the door and children are no longer allowed in it. The time the child was in the closet is undetermined but between 5 and 10 minutes. Plan of Correction: A sign has been put on the closet door stating that states no children are allowed in it and a lock was placed on it. A chair has been placed in the room where children can go to if they are upset.
