Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-111-240-A
Description:	Based on observation, the provider did not ensure all areas and furnishings of the family day home, inside and outside, were maintained in a clean, safe, and operable condition. Evidence: 1. A window unit air conditioner in the main room used for child care was not attached to the window frame in a secure manner. Packing tape was used around the air conditioner unit to attach it to the window frame. 2. Two napping mats were torn in a way that exposed the interior foam.
Plan of Correction:	Per the provider: We will mount the air conditioner to the window with screws to secure it. I will order new matts for the two children today.
Standard #:	22VAC40-111-560-A

Evidence: 1. At approximately 11:27 am, child #1 (9 months in age), was observed sleeping in a crib located in the living room outside of sight and hearing of the two caregivers. 2.
