The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced complaint inspection on November 1, 2022 in response to a complaint that was received by the Department on October 17, 2022 regarding the supervision of children and sanitation. On November 1, the licensing inspector was on site from 11:05am to approximately 11:45am. Interviews with staff were completed, observations were made in the center, and documentation was reviewed.
The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation supports part of the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. See the violation notice for more details.

Standard #: 8VAC20-780-350-B-1 Complaint related: No Description: Based on a review of documentation and interviews, the center did not maintain the required ratios for children from birth to the age of 16 months of one staff member for every four children.
Evidence: 1) The Infant B's Child Supervision Record and the Teacher/Staff Attendance record for the Infant B classroom reviewed for 10/17/2022 showed Staff #1 was the only staff member present with nine children between 7:46am and 9:05am when a second staff member arrived. Two additional children were dropped off between 9:07am and 9:08am. A third staff member arrived at 9:29am.
2) Staff interviewed confirmed that on 10/17/2022, the Infant B classroom was out of ratio in the morning due to staff calling out sick. Staff reported the youngest child in the Infant B classroom was under 16 months old. The applicable staff-to-child ratio for children birth up to 16 months of age is one staff member for every four children.Plan of Correction: The center has one more staff coming in early to cover the morning shift. The cook is now more readily available in the event a classroom needs coverage.
