Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted today from 10:00am-1:00pm. There were 83 children directly supervised by 15 staff and all 7 classrooms were in ratio. The physical plant, programming, menus, 10 staff records, 9 children's records, 5 medications, evacuation drills, injury reports, the 2 playground areas, emergency supplies, and policies were inspected. Children were observed coloring, building with blocks, engaging in water table play, table top activities with soil, making a hot air balloon art project, doing puzzles, reading, and playing outside. Infant care including diapering and handwashing procedures were observed. Lunch served today was chicken alfredo, broccoli, mixed fruit, bread, and milk. Positive interactions between children and staff were observed during this inspection. There was an abundant supply of age appropriate materials for the children and the center was clean and organized. Areas of non-compliance are identified in the Violation Notice. If you have any questions regarding this inspection, please contact me at morgan.bryson1@dss.virginia.gov.

Description: Based on record review, the center did not submit out of state Child Abuse and Neglect Central Registry search requests within 30 days for a staff member who has resided outside the state of Virginia within the last 5 years. Evidence: 1. Staff #5 (Date of Hire: 1/23/2019) indicated on a Sworn Disclosure Statement dated 1/3/2019 that she has resided in the states of California and North Carolina in the last 5 years. Staff #5's record did not contain documentation an out of state Central Registry search request was sent.
