Comments:
A monitoring inspection was initiated and concluded on 5/19/2022. At the time of the inspector's arrival, there were a total of 12 children present, ranging in ages from 8 months to 5 years old, with 3 staff supervising. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, programming, medication, special care and emergencies and nutrition. A total of 2 child records and 2 staff records were reviewed.

Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program.

Violations:
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-140-A
Description: Based on a review of records and interview, the licensee did not ensure that each enrolled child has a physical examination by or under the direction of a physician.
Evidence:
1. Two children's records were reviewed.
2. The record for child #1 did not contain the results of a physical examination.
3. When asked, the program director stated that she thought she had this documentation but was unable to locate it during the inspection.
The parent was contacted during the inspection and confirmed that she had this documentation.

Plan of Correction: The parent was contacted by the program director during the inspection and asked to provide child #1's physical examination results. The parent confirmed that she had the documentation and would bring it to the center so that a photocopy could be made for child #1's record.

Standard #: 8VAC20-780-270-A
Description: Based on observation and interview, the licensee did not ensure that the areas and equipment of the center, inside and outside are maintained in a clean, safe, operable condition.
Evidence:
1. The licensing inspector observed portions of the ground liner which were protruding from the surface of the ground in clusters throughout the outer areas of the play yard. The protruding liner poses a trip hazard to children when they are running and playing on the outdoor play area.
2. The front fence panel on the play yard had several areas of rotting wood that fell away easily when touched. Large, sharp, splinters of wood were left on the surface.
3. One board had come loose from the bench located under the pergola on the outdoor play space. The board had warped and was no longer flush with the rest of the boards that ran the length of the bench. If a child sat on the warped board it could pinch them when it presses down under their weight.
4. The program director confirmed the presence of these potential hazards.

Plan of Correction: The program director stated that she is already putting plans in place to have these and other items on the outdoor play area updated, replaced or repaired.
The program director stated that she will have the children utilize the front area, which she will block off to restrict the children from going onto the areas with potential hazards until they are corrected.
