Comments:
Today an unannounced Monitoring Inspection took place between the hours of 10:00am and 2:50pm. At the start of the inspection there were a total of 50 children with 9 staff; all ratios were incompliance. A total of 5 children?s files and 6 staff files were reviewed. The children were observed playing outside, blowing bubbles, playing with large building blocks, feeding leaves to the goats, eating peas from the garden, helping set out nap cots with the staff and other organized activities. Today's lunch is a chicken leg with gravy, zucchini and yellow squash, whole wheat bread and fresh fruit. Staff interactions with children were positive in nature. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at whitney.mcgrath@dss.virginia.gov. Thank you for your cooperation during this inspection.
