This annual subsidy inspection was conducted by the inspector using an alternate remote protocol necessary due to a state of emergency declared by the Governor of Virginia in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Preliminary data was obtained from the vendor on 6/30/2020. An annual subsidy inspection was initiated on 7/01/2020, at which time the vendor was contacted by telephone to initiate the inspection, and concluded on 7/7/2020. The inspector emailed the vendor a list of items required to complete the inspection. The vendor reported there were 36 children in care. The inspector reviewed 3 children?s records and 3 staff records submitted by the vendor to ensure compliance with the health and safety regulations.
