2. The documents available did not state that child #3 and #4 were adequately immunized and were not signed by the physician.
3. Staff confirmed this documentation was not available during this inspection.Plan of Correction: Director will ask parents for this information.

3. Staff confirmed that this information was not available during this inspection.Plan of Correction: Director will ask parents for this information.
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-270-A Description: Based on observation and interview it was determined 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. In the classroom there was a 1/4" gap in between the outlet cover and the wall that would potentially make the electrical outlet components accessible.
2. The play kitchen equipment in the classroom and the shelf for outdoor equipment rocked when pulled on and therefore presented potential tipping hazards.
3. Staff confirmed that the above equipment was not anchored.Plan of Correction: Director will secure the outlet, and anchor the play kitchen equipment and shelf.
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-330-B Description: Based on measurement and interview it was determined that the center did not ensure that where playground equipment is provided, resilient surfacing shall comply with minimum safety standards when tested in accordance with the procedures described in the American Society for Testing and Materials standard F1292-99.
Evidence:
1. There was 0-1" of mulch in the fall zones of the outdoor playground equipment.
