Violations:

Standard #:	22.1-289.035-B-4
Description:	Based on review of 3 staff records and interview with staff, the center did not obtain the results of a central registry check from all states in which staff members have resided within the last five years prior to employment. Evidence: The record for Staff #4 (date of hire 10/3/2022) did not contain documentation of a completed central registry record check from all states where they resided within the last five years prior to employment.
Plan of Correction:	Admin will utilize the resources provided by the licensing inspector to complete proper out-of-state background checks correctly, moving forward.
Standard #:	8VAC20-780-80-A
Description:	Based on review of the written attendance record and interview with staff, the center did not ensure they maintained a written record of daily attendance for each group of children documenting the arrival and departure of each child in care as it occurs. Evidence: During inspection in the NIDO classroom, there were 5 children present, but the written record reflected there were 4 children present.
Plan of Correction:	Staff will reinforce the importance of documenting child attendance as soon as there is a change, despite late arrival time.
Standard #:	8VAC20-780-270-A
Description:	Based on observation and staff interview, the center did not ensure that all areas and equipment of the center, inside and outside, were maintained in a clean, safe, and operable condition. Evidence: 1)On the School age playground that the Toddler classroom uses, there is a 9 inch piece of rebar standing up and protruding from the border of the garden area that could cause impalement of a child. 2)On the School age playground that the Toddler classroom uses, there is a large broken tile with sharp edges that could tear a child?s skin.
Plan of Correction:	The broken tile was disposed into the trash. Staff will make a plan how to remove/conceal the piece of rebar. Children will not be permitted to interact in this area until this is completed and safe.
