An unannounced complaint investigation was conducted on 9/8/23 from 8:20am to 9:35am in response to a complaint received in the licensing office regarding allegations pertaining to supervision; ratios; behavioral guidance policies; care, protection, and guidance; and smoking on the premises. Based on review of documentation, observation, and interviews conducted, the allegation regarding care, protection, and guidance was determined to be valid. The allegations regarding supervision, ratios, behavioral guidance policies, and smoking on the premises were unable to be substantiated due to insufficient corroborating evidence. If you have questions regarding this inspection, please contact the Licensing Inspector, Laura Brindle, at laura.brindle@doe.virginia.gov or 540-905-2062.
