Technical Assistance:

We discussed the requirements for hand washing after snacks, updating staff TB statements, and posting emergency procedures/maps. The risk assessments for violations were provided. Please, provide a copy of the fire inspection report when obtained. Also, we talked about injury documentation, emergency drill records and pre-K activities during after school hours.

Comments:

Thank you for your assistance during the unannounced monitoring inspection conducted from 12:45 PM to 5:06 PM. Five preschool age children were supervised after school by one staff. Up to twenty-three children, ages five to thirteen, were with two staff during after school hours. I viewed program activities, daily routines, snack, staffing, supervision, interactions with children, posted information, equipment, injury record, agency inspection report, emergency supplies and drill records, medication, five records for children, four staff records, staff qualifications, staff training, indoor and outdoor areas. The preschool and the school age groups each enjoyed active play in the gym. The preschool children were read to. A variety of choices for games were available for school age children. The staff were observed providing frequent interactions with the children in their group. Let me know if you need any assistance. 540/430-9259

Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-185-160-C
Description:	Based on a review of four records for staff, and an interview with administrative staff, the school failed to obtain an updated tuberculosis screening and statement by two years from the date of the last statement for one staff. Evidence: The TB statement completed for staff member 4 on March 9, 2017 was not updated until March 20, 2019.
Plan of Correction:	Administrative staff will make sure staff arrange for updated TB screenings in advance of the two year due dates.
Standard #:	22VAC40-185-500-A
Description:	Based on observation of the routines during the afternoon snack times for each age group, and interviews with staff, the preK children's hands have not been washed with soap and running water or disposable wipes after eating. Evidence: As children finished eating snack, they were instructed to put their food containers away, and sit on an area rug. There was a pack of wipes on the cart that were not used and children were not sent to the bathroom sinks across the hall before using classroom supplies. When questioned, staff indicated the children were only taken to the bathroom for hand washing after eating if there was a concern regarding food allergens.
Plan of Correction:	The PreK after school supervisor will implement a daily routine of having children either go to a bathroom sink for hand washing or use a disposable wipe after eating snack.
Standard #:	22VAC40-185-550-C
Description:	Based on a review of the posted emergency procedures/maps, and interviews with staff, not all posted information in each building included the required procedures. Evidence: The emergency procedures/map posted in the after school room of the Batten building did not include the information for shelter-in-place.
Plan of Correction:	Administrative staff will make sure the procedures for shelter-in-place while children are using areas of the Batten building are added to the posted map.
