Technical Assistance:
Discussion was held on the topics of current enrollment, current staffing, and the need for a clarification for Out-of-State CPS check from the State of Maryland for Staff #3. While it appears to be processed with a stamp and signature from a Maryland State Employee, the exact finding was left unclear. The center making contact with the State of Maryland to determine the result for Staff #3 should be implemented.

Comments:
The following inspection took place between the hours of 11:30 am through 4 pm. Today, I met with the Staff of the Montessori School of Purcellville located in the town of Purcellville, Virginia. At the start of this unannounced monitoring inspection there were a total of 46 children with 11 staff; good ratios in all 7 rooms. A total of 5 children?s files and 7 staff files were reviewed. The children were engaged in the following: infant play, toy play, diapering, hand washing, games, lunch time, nap time, bathroom breaks, large motor skills outside on playground, and other organized activities. If you should have any future questions, please call or send an e-mail. Thank you. Charlie Perkins, Licensing Inspector (703) 309-3963
