Comments:

This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, necessary due to a state of emergency health pandemic declared by the Governor of Virginia. A monitoring inspection was conducted on 5/4/2021 with an exit interview on 5/10/2021. The person in charge was contacted by telephone and a virtual inspection was conducted. There were 13 children present, ages 16 months - six years of age, with three staff supervising. The Inspector reviewed two children's records, three staff records, the emergency drill log, medication, naptime, enhanced cleaning and sanitizing of toys and surfaces, and daily indoor and outdoor activities. The information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with standards that are documented on the violation notice issued to the facility. The Licensing Inspector has reviewed with the provider COVID-19 Essential Guidance for Child Care programs. If you have further questions about this inspection please contact Donna Liberman at 540-359-5244 or Donna.Liberman@dss.virginia.gov.
