An unannounced complaint inspection was initiated by a local agency representative and inspector on May 19, 2023 and completed on June 13, 2023 regarding concerns of staffing and supervision and programs. There were 3 children present with 1 staff supervising. There were observations of a parent drop off and local school bus pick up of the children at the center. During the inspection the following were completed: interviews with administrative staff, a review of records/documentation, observation of the classroom in which the incident occurred, and a review of video footage of the incident on May 15, 2023. Additionally, there were staff and collateral interviews, and a review of pertinent documentation during the investigative process. The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation does support the allegation related to staffing and supervision; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. The inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program. If you have any questions regarding this inspection please contact inspector, Tiffany Jones at 757-403-3045.

When staff #1 noticed child #1 sitting on top of the shelf, staff #1 did not intervene to have the child move to a space that was more appropriate in order to prevent a possible fall or injury.
