Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-111-560-A
Description:	Based on observation and interview, the provider did not maintain direct care and supervision of each child at all times. Evidence: 1. Ten children were observed on the fun bus that was parked at the end of the driveway with two fun bus staff. 2. The provider and two caregivers were in the family day home out of direct care and supervision of the children. 3. The provider stated the fun bus staff told her they the caregivers did not need to be on the bus.
Plan of Correction:	Per the provider: I didn't realize the staff had to be on the bus. In the past we have always been on the bus with the children however the fun bus owner said we did not need to be on the bus with the children. So we walked the children to the bus and go back to walk them to the family day home after the class.
