Comments:

This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, necessary due to a state of emergency health pandemic declared by the Governor of Virginia. A renewal inspection was initiated on 8/27/2020 and concluded on 8/28/2020. The provider was contacted by telephone and a virtual inspection was conducted. There were five children present, ages 16 months - six years of age, for a total of nine points. The Inspector reviewed three children's records, five caregiver/household member records, the menu, emergency drill log, pet vaccinations, hand washing and diapering procedures, enhanced cleaning and sanitizing of toys and surfaces, and daily indoor and outdoor activities. The information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with standards that are documented on the violation notice issued to the facility. The Licensing Inspector has reviewed with the provider COVID-19 Essential Guidance for Child Care programs.
