Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-185-270-A

Evidence: 1. Observations on the playground included two metal round rods, approximately an inch in diameter, protruding approximately three inches above the ground, located approximately three inches beside two ends of a metal rocking boat. These were located on playground used by two year old children, causing hazards such as tripping into metal equipment, snagging, or entanglement. 2. In an interview, Administrator #1 advised that safety checks are completed on the playgrounds and acknowledged these hazards.

A restroom, adjoined to a school age classroom and used by school age children, was observed with four spots of dried bodily fluid smeared on the floor. School age children were observed arriving at the center to this classroom. 2. In an interview, Administrator #1, reported that kitchen staff is supposed to clean this bathroom daily before the school age children arrive at the center. Administrator #1 acknowledged that the staff did not clean and sanitize the contaminated surface.
