A Subsidy Health and Safety inspection was conducted on April 19, 2019 to review supplemental health and safety requirements. The inspection was initiated at 10:00 am and concluded at 12:45 pm. Upon the inspector's arrival, children ages 2 years through 5 years were engaged in circle time. Children sang songs, talked about Easter and read the story" It's not easy being a bunny". Later children painted with watercolors. The infant and toddlers played with toys and were observed during lunch time. Diapering was also observed with hand washing being conducted. The two through five year old children had time outside on the playground before returning inside for lunch and nap. Today's lunch consisted of pizza, peaches, green beans and milk. All areas of the facility were inspected to include the playground area. The classroom off of the office is not being used by children at this time.

This list shall be dated and kept confidential in each room or area where children are present. Evidence: The records of child #1 and child #2 indicated dietary restriction and the record of child #5 had documentation of a diagnosed food allergy however there was no written list with the children's allergies, sensitivities, and dietary restrictions accessible to all staff.

Plan of Correction: Per the director: I will review children's records and create a list of children's allergies, sensitivities, and dietary restrictions that will be dated, accessible to staff and kept confidential in each room.

Standard #: 22VAC40-665-510-B
Description: Based on observation and interview, a written hard copy record of daily attendance that documents the arrival and departure of each child in care as it occurred was not maintained at the center. Evidence: During the inspection on 04/19/2019, a child was observed being picked up by the grandparent at approximately 12:00 pm. The child left and was not signed out. The inspector asked staff #4 if she had an attendance sheet to ensure children were signed out. Staff #4 stated they were using a new program where parents signed children in and out of the center daily on the computer and that the screen had locked this morning preventing some parents from signing in or out. The director reset the computer revealing only nine out of twenty-two children present were signed in for today, April 19, 2019.

Plan of Correction: Per the director: I will ensure the staff opener knows how to reset the computer to make sure the program is available for parents to sign in and out daily.
