Comments:
Thank you for your time and assistance with the unannounced monitoring inspection conducted on May 6, 2019. The on-site inspection was from 9:40a.m. to 1:50p.m. On this date, there were 102 children present in seven classrooms and in the care of 15 staff members. Three additional staff members were available to assist if needed. There were 115 children enrolled in the center. All seven classrooms were toured and observations were completed in three of those rooms. The violations from the previous inspection were checked for compliance. The exceptions to compliance were noted on the violation notice and the risk ratings for those violations were noted on the supplemental page. There were 10 staff members' records and 10 children's records reviewed. There were nine staff members and six children interviewed. The medication and medication paperwork were reviewed for five children. Lunch was observed to meet USDA guidelines and consisted of chicken, brown rice, beans, peas and carrots, mixed berries, and milk. The themes for the week were Plants and Gardens. The children had planted different types of seeds and had been caring for them. Some of items reviewed and observed during the visit included: optional music and enrichment activities, free play, language art activities, story time, transitions, behavioral guidance, outdoor play, bathroom and hand washing procedures, lunch, nap time, injury reports, first aid and emergency supplies, required posted information, documentation of evacuation and shelter-in-place drills, warm water temperature, updated emergency preparedness and injury prevention plans, and dismissal procedures. Please contact your licensing inspector, Diann Reed, if you have questions concerning this inspection, the licensing standards, and/or if I may be of assistance to you (540) 280-0742.

Evidence: 1. The record for Staff #1 contained a follow-up TB screening dated 12/05/2018. This was over two years from her previous screening dated 09/07/2016. 2. The record for Staff #2 contained a follow-up TB screening dated 12/05/2018. This was over two years from her previous screening dated 11/02/2016. 3. The record for Staff #7 contained a follow-up TB screening dated 12/03/2018. This was over two years from her previous screening dated 10/28/2016.

Plan of Correction: The director was aware of the oversight and will ensure that all follow-up TB screenings are completed within two years of their most recent screening.

Standard #: 22VAC40-185-510-C
Description: Based on review of the medications and medication authorizations for five children and discussion with the director, there was one emergency medication on-site that had expired. Evidence: 1. The emergency medication for Child B had an expiration date of April 2019. 2. The director confirmed the medication had expired.

Plan of Correction: During the inspection, the director talked with the parent of the child and the medication will be returned to the parent at pick-up time.

Standard #: 22VAC40-185-510-J
Description: Based on observation and verification from staff members, the center failed to ensure that all medications were kept in a locked location. Evidence: 1. In Classroom B, Classroom D, and Classroom E there were children's medications being stored in unlocked plastic bags inside unlocked backpacks. 2. The backpack from Classroom B and the backpack from Classroom E were hanging on a fence on the playground while the children from the rooms were playing outside. The children had access to the backpacks. 3. The backpack from Classroom D was hanging on the door to the classroom and was accessible to the children. 4. The staff in all three classrooms confirmed the medication was not locked.

Plan of Correction: The issue was corrected during the inspection. Two of the medications were placed in plastic bags with locking mechanisms and then in the backpacks and one medication was placed in a lock box and then placed inside the backpack.

Standard #: 63.2(17)-1720.1-B-3
Description: Based on the review of 10 staff members' records and verification from the director, the center failed to obtain an out-of-state search of the child abuse and neglect registry for one staff who had lived outside of Virginia within the last five years. Evidence: 1. The record for Staff #9 did not contain a completed search of the child abuse and neglect registry for the state the staff member had resided in during the past five years. Date of hire for Staff #9 was 02/26/2019. 2. The director confirmed that the out-of-state search of the registry had not been requested for Staff #9.

Plan of Correction: During the inspection the director and the staff member completed the request for the background check and it was mailed. If the director has not received the results of the search within 45 days, she will follow-up.
