An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on 4/17/19 from 9:50am -12:15pm.

Children were observed participating in various activities in the classrooms, eating lunch and during rest period. Records were reviewed for six children and six staff.

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 #5 did not contain documentation to indicate whether or not the child previously attended child care, it did not contain the street address for the two emergency contacts, and did not contain the written agreements between the parents and the center.
2. Staff #7 reviewed the record for child #5, and 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 #5 will be asked to all of the missing information. All new children will have their record reviewed prior to enrollment.

Evidence: 1. The resilient surface (rubber mulch), around the bottom of the slides on the play structure was approximately three inches in depth 2. Staff #6 (Program Director) confirmed the resilient surfacing (rubber mulch) in the fall zone for the play structure was not compliant with the requirements in the standards of six inches of resilient surfacing.

Plan of Correction: The facility responded: An order to purchase additional mulch has already been placed. We will ensure that it is at least six inches deep in the fall zone for the play structure.

Standard #: 22VAC40-185-540-C

Evidence: 1. An injury report from January 2019 was found on the clip board in the two year old classroom. It appears as if was never given to the parent as it only had the teacher's signature on it. 2.
