Evidence: There was an unlocked under the sink cabinet located in the pre-k classroom that had a bag of Voban Aromatic Absorbent, box of Borax, and spray bottle of glass surface cleaner which was accessible to children. Plan of Correction: The cabinet was locked immediately after being found unlocked. Staff will be retrained regarding keeping hazardous substances unlocked.
Standard #: 22VAC40-185-350-E-5 Description: Based on observation, review of written attendance, and staff interview, the center did not maintain one staff member for every 18 children for children from the age of eligibility to attend public school through eight years old. Evidence: On May 29, 2019, at approximately 1:30 PM, the licensing inspector observed 41 school aged children in the care of two staff members. Plan of Correction: The center had three staff members scheduled to be in the school age classroom to be in compliance with the staff-to-child ratio. The third staff had a personal emergency and needed to leave the center. Additional staff came in to provide supervision and bring the classroom back into ratio. The school age room was out of ratio compliance for about 10 minutes.
