Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-185-280-B
Description:	Based on observations on 04/16/2019, the center did not ensure to keep hazardous substances such as cleaning materials in a locked place using a safe locking method that prevents access by children.

The cleaning solution was accessible to the children in care.
Plan of Correction:	Corrected on site.
Standard #:	22VAC40-191-60-C-2
Description:	Based on a review of five staff records and interview on 04/16/2019, the center did not ensure that one staff had a central registry finding within 30 days of employment. Evidence: 1) The record for Staff #1 indicated a hire date of 10/01/2018 and a central registry finding dated 03/22/2019. The record indicated the request had been mailed on 03/11/2019. 2) During interview, Staff #5 confirmed the central registry finding for Staff #1 was not requested timely.
