Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-185-280-B
Description:	Based on observation and interview on 03/04/2020, the center did not ensure hazardous substances such as cleaning materials were kept in a locked place using a safe locking method that prevents access by children. Evidence: 1) During the inspection of the classrooms, the licensing inspector observed an unlocked cabinet in the Preschool B room. The inspector observed the unlocked cabinet had cleaning supplies such as a bottle of bleach in it. 2) A staff member present in the Preschool B room attempted to lock the cabinet while the inspector was in the room, however, she was unable to. The staff member reported the cabinet was difficult to lock.
Plan of Correction:	A member of management was able to lock the cabinet while the inspector was on site. Per the director, the cabinet will be looked at tomorrow to ensure the locking mechanism is working properly.
Standard #:	22VAC40-185-510-A
Description:	Based on documentation review, observation and interviews on 03/04/2020, the center did not ensure that prescription and nonprescription medication shall be given only with written authorization from the parent. Evidence: 1) During the inspection, the licensing inspector observed a prescription medication for Child #10. 2) During interview, staff reported the medication is administered daily. 3) The licensing inspector observed documentation at the center indicating the medication was last administered to Child #10 on 03/04/2020. 4) A review of Child #10's records revealed the center did not have written parental authorization to administer the medication on file. 5) During interview, a member of management reviewed the record and confirmed the written parental authorization to administer medication to Child #10 was not available at the center.
