Comments:

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted today, June 20, 2019 to determine the center's compliance with religious exempt requirements. The inspection was initiated at 1:15pm and concluded at approximately 3:25pm. Today 15 children (ages 3-10yrs) were in attendance being supervised by three staff with the correct child/teacher ratio in each classroom. Administrative records, children's classrooms, restrooms, multipurpose room, cafeteria, and common areas were inspected. Due to previous weather the children's playground was not inspected. See the attached notice for violations found during this inspection. If you have any questions regarding this inspection, please contact the licensing inspector at (804) 662-9771.

Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-191-40-D-2
Description:	Based on the inspection of administrative records, the required central registry background check was not obtained. Evidence: During the inspection of three staff records and interview with the director, it was discovered that staff #3 did not have a completed central background check in the record. This background check should have been completed on each staff employed by the center within 30 days of employment.
Plan of Correction:	Per administrator: I will immediately have the background checks completed and sent to the Department of Social Services.
Standard #:	63.2(17)-1716-B-3
Description:	Based on the inspection of administrative records, there were no staff present that have been trained to conduct daily simple health screenings of children. Evidence: During the inspection of three staff records and interview with the administrator, it was discovered there was no documentation that staff received training in daily health screenings within the last three years. Religious exempt requirements stipulate that a staff should be able to conduct a daily simple health screening and exclusion of sick children by a person trained to perform such screenings.
Plan of Correction:	Per director: We have staff trained in daily health screenings for children and placed the required documentation in the files.
Standard #:	63.2(17)-1716-B-5
Description:	Based on the inspection of administrative records, the required medical information was not obtained. Evidence: During the inspection of five children's records, it was discovered child #2 did not have documentation that the child has received immunizations.
Plan of Correction:	Per director: I will obtain the information from the parent within a week.
Standard #:	63.2(17)-1720.1-A
Description:	Based on the inspection of staff records, the required background check updates were not conducted.

Plan of Correction:	Per director: I will have staff to complete the online form, have notarized, email a copy to the licensing inspector, and mail the form off to the appropriate agency.
Standard #:	63.2(17)-1720.1-B-2
Description:	Based on the inspection of administrative records, the required fingerprint background check was not obtained.
