An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted at 10:35am. Observed 9 children totaling 27 points with 2 caregivers upon arrival to the home. A 3rd caregiver returned to the home. Ratios were in compliance. Children were playing with toys, putting on shoes to go outside for active play in the backyard play area, washing hands, eating lunch, being diapered and taking naps. Snack served included apples, bananas, and water. The caregivers were promptly tending to the needs of the children. The daycare areas of the home were found to be clean and well supplied with toys and equipment for the children. Lunch served: rice and beans, oranges, celery, and milk/water. The provider reported to be participating in the USDA food program. Areas of non-compliance with standards and laws reviewed were found.

Standard #:	8VAC20-800-540-A
