This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, necessary due to a state of emergency health pandemic declared by the Governor of Virginia.
A renewal inspection was conducted on 10/9/2020 with an exit interview on 10/14/2020. The director was contacted by telephone and a virtual inspection was conducted. There were 60 children present, ages six months - ten years of age, with 11 staff supervising. The Inspector reviewed four children's records, four staff records, the emergency drill log, medication, meals and snacks, hand washing, enhanced cleaning and sanitizing of toys and surfaces, and daily indoor and outdoor activities. The information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with standards that are documented on the violation notice issued to the facility.
The Licensing Inspector has reviewed with the provider COVID-19 Essential Guidance for Child Care programs. If you have further questions about this inspection please contact Donna Liberman at 540-359-5244 or Donna.Liberman@dss.virginia.gov.
