Comments:

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 September 10, 2020. An annual subsidy inspection was initiated on September 11, 2020, at which time the vendor was contacted by telephone to initiate the inspection, and concluded on September 23, 2020. The inspector emailed the vendor a list of items required to complete the inspection. The vendor reported there were six children in care and three staff. The inspector reviewed two children?s records and two staff records submitted by the vendor to ensure compliance with the health and safety regulations. The Licensing Inspector has reviewed with the provider COVID-19 Essential Guidance for Child Care programs.
