Violations:
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-420-B
Complaint related: No
Description: Based on interview and documentation review, the center failed to promptly inform parents when persistent behavioral problems are identified. Evidence: Interview with Director, Curriculum Specialist, Teacher, and Parent, and documentation review, revealed that there were behavioral problems identified with child #1 that caused concern. The child was observed over a four day period prior to the parents being made aware of the behavioral concerns.

Plan of Correction: Per the center "An administrator (and long-time educator) was made aware of the situation by the child's teacher and observed the child to determine if there was a persistent/ongoing behavioral pattern present or if the behavior was developmentally appropriate for a child of that age. Once it became apparent that there was a persistent/ongoing behavioral concern (after four consecutive days of observations), the parents were contacted. We will continue to review our policies and update as needed."
