Standard #: 22VAC40-185-70-A Description: Based on record review and interview the center failed to ensure that each staff record contains all required information. Evidence: 1 - The record for staff 2 does not contain information regarding reference checks to include the date the reference checks were obtained or the name of the firm contacted. 2 - Staff 1 confirmed that the reference check documentation for staff 2 is incomplete. Plan of Correction: Going forward center management will ensure that all required documentation is clearly documented in each staff record.
Standard #: 22VAC40-185-270-A Description: Based on observation and interview the center failed to ensure that equipment is maintained in safe and operable condition. Evidence: 1 - The goal post for the basketball hoop on the outside playground has areas of rust and peeling paint within reach of children. 2 - There is a balance beam on the playground that has areas of splitting and deteriorating wood. 3 - Staff 1, 2 and 3 stated that children had used the playground in the morning and will go outside after snack today.

Evidence: 1 - The record for staff 2 contains a fingerprint finding dated May 16, 2019. However, the documented date of hire is May 13, 2019. Therefore, the fingerprint was obtained after staff 2 was hired. 2 - Staff 1 confirmed that the hire date written on the employment application for staff 2 is May 13, 2019 and the date of fingerprint results is three days later, May 16, 2019 Plan of Correction: Going forward center management will ensure that each staff submits to fingerprinting before the documented date of hire.
