Comments:

A Subsidy Health and Safety inspection was conducted on 3/11/19 from 9:30am to 12:15pm to review supplemental health and safety requirements. During the inspection there were 28 children ages two years old to five years old in care with six staff. Children were observed participating in various activities in the classrooms and eating lunch. The records for five children and for five staff were reviewed. A licensing inspection was also conducted this date; the two inspections combined cover all subsidy health and safety requirements. Only subsidy requirements that are not covered in licensing standards are reviewed during this supplemental inspection. Violations were found during the supplemental subsidy health and safety inspection requirements, were discussed during the exit interview, and are identified on the violation notice.

Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-665-510-B
Description:	Based on observation and interviews, it was determined that the vendor did not ensure that for each group of children, the vendor shall maintain a written record (hard copy) of daily attendance that documents the arrival and departure of each child in care as it occurs. Evidence: 1. The attendance record for multiple classrooms did not have the the time of arrival for all children present. 2. Staff #6 confirmed that the arrival of all children was not documented as the attendance in the room just indicates whether the child was present and some parents did not sign their children in at the front desk.
Plan of Correction:	The facility responded: The sign in & out lists when you come in the main building contain private paying parents and subsidy parents on Social Services. We check at the end of the day to make sure all subsidy parents have recorded times. Vice Principal will monitor and Principal will ensure.
Standard #:	22VAC40-665-650-E
Description:	Based on a review of policies and procedures for the facility and interviews, it was determined that the vendor did not ensure that a written policy and procedure that describes how the vendor will ensure that each group of children receives care by consistent staff or team of staff members was developed and implemented. Evidence: 1. The Licensing Inspector could not find the policy and procedures for maintaining consistent staff at the facility during the inspection. 2. Staff #6 confirmed that there was no documentation available for viewing during the inspection regarding how the vendor will ensure that each group of children receives care by consistent staff or team of staff members.
Plan of Correction:	The facility responded: The policy is being formed & written. All lead teachers stay in their respective classrooms. Vice Principal will write the policy and Principal will approve. Policy will be complete by 3/29/19.
Standard #:	22VAC40-665-770-B-5
