Violations:

Standard #:	22.1-289.035-B-4
Description:	Based on review, 1 of 7 staff files reviewed indicated that the Child Day Center (CDC) did not obtain a copy of the results of a criminal history record (CRC) information check from any other state in which the individual has resided in the preceding five years before reporting to the child day center for work. Evidence - 1. On the date of inspection (08/24/2023), the sworn statement completed by Staff #5 indicated that they had lived within the State of California (a non-NFF state) within the past 5 years. 2. While a Fingerprint Check was available from the Commonwealth of Virginia, a CRC (for Staff #5) was not available for review, nor was an email or other documentation from the State of California indicating that such information was not distributed outside of their state. 3. The start date at the CDC for Staff #5 was listed as 08/14/2023.
Plan of Correction:	Documentation from the State of California for Staff #5 will be obtained and placed on file. Results of this finding will also be shared with the Licensing Inspector (LI).
Standard #:	8VAC20-780-280-B
Description:	Based on observation, hazardous substances such as cleaning materials, were not kept in a locked place using a safe locking method that prevents access by children. Evidence - 1.

There were 13 preschoolers with 3 staff at the time of observation within Room #207. 3. While the cleaning supplies may have been high enough from the reach of the preschoolers in the room, the spray bottles were not kept in a locked place.
