Comments:

An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted today from 11:00am-12:50pm. There were 24 children (2-5yrs.) supervised by 6 direct care staff. The physical plant, 3 staff records, 3 children?s records, evacuation drills, injury reports, emergency supplies, and policies were inspected. Children were observed playing in home living, with bristle blocks, tracing, playing with puzzles, and learning letters "F" and "G". Toileting and hand-washing procedures were also observed. There was a sufficient amount of books, toys, and materials, which were found to be developmentally appropriate for the children in care at the time of inspection. There was an adequate number of staff with current certification in MAT, CPR and First Aid, as well as DHO training. Staff-to-child ratios were in compliance. Areas of non-compliance are identified in the Violation Notice. If you have any questions regarding this inspection, please contact the Licensing Inspector, Anansa Archer-Hicks at (703) 268-3295 or anansa.archer-hicks@dss.virginia.gov.
