Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-185-340-A
Description:	Based on interview and review of center documentation, it was determined that the center failed to ensure that when staff are supervising children, they ensure the care, protection, and guidance. Evidence: 1. On 01/09/2019 at approximately 2:30 P.M., Staff #8 was preparing snack for the infants. She took Child #1's bottle from the 12:00 feeding that had approximately one ounce of breast milk remaining and added it to Child #2's bottle for snack, and then gave the bottle to Child #1 to drink. When Staff #8 went to go locate Child #2's snack bottle she could not locate it, but located a full bottle for Child #1. When Staff #8 realized what had occurred Child #1 had drank approximately one-two ounces of Child #2's breast milk. 2. Staff verified that Child #1 had consumed Child #2's breast milk, and that there had been a mistake made when preparing the snack bottles.
Plan of Correction:	The director met with the Infant Staff and reviewed all required standards regarding infant feeding. They also have set up a check list of steps that should occur when preparing formula and breast milk for all infants.

The required out of state central registry search request for this staff person has not been submitted. 2. Staff verified that the record check had not been submitted within the required time frame.
Plan of Correction:	The current program director will have the staff member fill out the required paperwork and send off for the Central Registry Background check immediately.
