An unannounced inspection was initiated on 1/9/24 with the director in response to a self-report made by the center pertaining to an allegation of a forbidden action, rough handling of a child in care. Interviews were conducted, a classroom observation was conducted, 2 staff records were reviewed, and one child record was reviewed. There was insufficient evidence to support the allegation and no violations were cited based on the allegation. Other violations not related to the allegation were found during the inspection and can be viewed on the violation notice. An exit interview was conducted with the director on 3/4/24. If you have questions regarding this inspection, please contact the Licensing Inspector, Laura Brindle, at laura.brindle@doe.virginia.gov or 540-905-2062.
