Comments:

An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted on 9/19/2023. The inspector was on site from approximately 11:30 am-1:15 pm. There were 6 children in care, ranging in age from 10 months to 10 years, with 3 caregivers supervising. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, personnel, household members, physical environment and equipment, care of children, emergencies, caregiver training, preventing the spread of disease and nutrition. A total of 5 child records, 3 caregiver records, and 1 household member record were reviewed. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program. Please complete the plan of correction and date to be corrected for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to me within 5 business days from today. You will need to specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Just writing the word corrected is not acceptable. Your plan of correction must contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard(s), 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again; and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measures. Please do not use staff names; list staff by positions only.

Violations:

Standard #:	22.1-289.036-C
Description:	Based on a review of household member records and interview, the provider did not ensure that one (1) household member had a satisfactory fingerprint background check as required. Evidence: 1. The record of household member #1 contained an unsatisfactory fingerprint background check dated 12/5/2022 with a not eligible determination. The provider disclosed a Virginia issued ID as documentation that showed that the address of the family day home was household member #1?s legal address. The department received a renewal application on 9/14/2023 that included household #1 as a resident in the home. 2. The provider acknowledged that household member #1 had been regularly residing in the home on weekends starting in December of 2022.
Plan of Correction:	The legal address, which is not the same as the child care facility, has been changed to his permanent address. The address was changed on 8/1/2023 and changed back on 9/19/2023. I will send an updated copy, when it arrives at his residence.
