Comments:

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 initiated on 06/03/2021 and concluded on 06/10/2021. The director was contacted by telephone to initiate the inspection. There were 65 children present and 12 staff. The inspector emailed the director a list of items required to complete the inspection. The inspector reviewed four children?s records and four staff records submitted by the facility to ensure documentation was complete. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliances with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility. Please complete the 'plan of correction' and 'date to be corrected' for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to me within 5 business days from the date of receipt. Please specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Your plan of correction should contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standards, 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again, and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measure(s). The licensing inspector has reviewed with the provider COVID-19 Essential Guidance for Child Care programs.
