Violations:

Standard #:	8VAC20-780-130-A
Description:	Based on review of six child records, the center did not obtain documentation that each child had received the immunizations required by the State Board of Health before the child attended the center. Evidence: The immunizations on record for Child A, with a start date of 4/11/22, were dated 5/12/22; and the immunizations on record for Child B, with a start date of 10/31/22, were dated 12/28/22.
Plan of Correction:	We will ensure all proper forms and immunizations are on file before a child's start date.
Standard #:	8VAC20-780-270-A
Description:	Based on observation, the center did not ensure that areas and equipment of the center were maintained in a safe condition. Evidence: In the two-year-old classroom, children were observed climbing up on a shelf at the back of the room that was not secured to the wall, creating a toppling hazard.
Plan of Correction:	The equipment has been secured to the wall.
Standard #:	8VAC20-780-350-B-4
Description:	Based on observation and interview, the center did not maintain the required ratio of staff to children. Evidence: On 5/2/23 there were 17 children observed with one staff in the ?JrK? class for children five-years-old. Interview revealed that the class has been operating at a 1:18 ratio. Until the Summer before eligibility to attend Kindergarten, the required ratio for five-year-olds is 1:10.
Plan of Correction:	We will ensure the school age ratio is properly followed when eligibility begins.
