Comments:

An in person investigation was begun today in response to an allegation being received in our office. Additional standards were reviewed to consider this inspection a mandated visit. Based on a review of documentation, the preponderance of evidence supports the allegation that a written record of injuries that children received while in care was not maintained and/or that injuries were not reported to parents. The complaint is valid. Violations were discussed with the Administrative staff. See Violation Notice for non-compliances. Staff and child record violations were confirmed during the exit interview with the staff person responsible for recordkeeping. Emergency supplies, First Aid supplies. Emergency evacuation drills, lunch boxes labeled/dated, handwashing and bathroom supplies were all in compliance today. Licensing Inspectors (LIs) Hayes and Marbert were present today from 11:09 AM ? 2:00 PM. The report will be typed off site and will be sent via email. If you have questions you may contact me at (703) 479-4678 or at Sarah.Marbert@doe.virginia.gov.
