Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on 4/9/19 from 9:25am -12:00pm. When the Licensing Inspector arrived there were 58 children ages four months old to five years old in care with 18 staff. Children were observed participating in various activities in the classrooms, playing outside, eating lunch and during rest period. Records were reviewed for six children and eight staff. Medication, emergency procedures and emergency supplies were reviewed during the inspection. Areas of non-compliance are identified on the violation notice and were discussed during the exit interview.

Violations:
Standard #: 22VAC40-185-60-A
Description: Based on a review of six children's records and interview, it was determined that the facility did not ensure that they maintain and keep at the center a complete record for each child enrolled that contains all required information. Evidence 1. The record for child #6 did not contain the name, address and phone number for the second emergency contact. 2. Staff #9 (Program Director) confirmed that the record for child #6 did not contain all of the required information.

Plan of Correction: The facility responded: The parents of child #6 will be asked to provide the missing information to make the record complete. All new children will have their record reviewed prior to enrollment.

Standard #: 22VAC40-185-270-A
Description: Based on observation, it was determined that the facility did not ensure that all areas and equipment of the center, inside and outside, shall be maintained in a clean, safe and operable condition. Evidence: 1. There was peeling paint and drywall below the window at the front of the Pre-K classroom. 2. There are several exposed nails where boards have separated along the fence that surrounds the playground. 3. The columns on the covered entrance way to the center have wood that is splintered and deteriorating at the bottom. One of the columns moves when touched and is not safe. 4. Staff #9 (Program Director) confirmed that the items listed above were not currently in a safe and operable condition.

Plan of Correction: The facility responded: A work order will be placed to have the repairs completed.

Standard #: 22VAC40-191-60-C-2
