Comments:

A subsidy health and safety (SHSI) inspection was initiated and concluded on 4/1/2022. There was 1 child present and supervised by the vendor. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, programming, medication, special care and emergencies and nutrition. A total of 2 child records and 2 caregiver / Household member staff records were reviewed. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program.

Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-665-250-A
Description:	Based on observation and interview, the Vendor did not ensure that potentially poisonous substances, materials and supplies such as, but not limited to, cleaning agents, disinfectants, deodorizers, plant care chemicals, pesticides, and petroleum distillates are stored in areas inaccessible to children. Evidence: During the inspection on 4/1/2022, the licensing inspector observed a bottle of all purpose cleaner, 3 aerosol cans of air freshener, and a 2.5 quart container of liquid drain cleaner under the bathroom sink in the restroom that children use while in care. Each pf these items containing warnings to "keep out of reach of children" as well as additional warnings regarding potential poisoning or health risks. The Vendor confirmed that these items were stored in areas that were accessible to children, but stated that she does not let children go to the restroom unattended or unsupervised therefore they do not touch these items.
Plan of Correction:	The Vendor will relocate any and all items that are potentially hazardous substances to areas where children are not able to access them before the children return next week.
Standard #:	8VAC20-790-210-B

Evidence: Two Caregiver / Household records were reviewed. The record for caregiver #1 and household member #2 each contained the most recent results of a TB screening which were dated 4/18/2019. The Vendor confirmed that these were the most recent documented results she had.
Plan of Correction:	The vendor stated that Caregiver #1 and Household member #2 will obtain new screenings, or results of more recent screenings, by next Wednesday, 4/6/2022.
