Violations:

Standard #:	8VAC20-770-60-B
Description:	Based on review of records and interview, the center failed to ensure that each staff member had completed a sworn statement by the first day of employment. Evidence: 1. Staff #10?s first day of employment was 06/09/2023. There was no sworn statement completed by Staff #10 on file. 2. Staff #14 confirmed that Staff #10 had not completed a sworn statement by the first day of employment.
Plan of Correction:	Our staff member completed it upon onboarding but for some reason listed her father's name instead of her own and I did not catch that. We have a check list system with all requirements on it and I received this as if it were accurate. I began working on her out of state background investigations based on the document but did not catch it was her father's first name and not her own. I will analyze documents much more clearly when receiving them from staff members in the future.
Standard #:	8VAC20-780-330-B
Description:	Based on measurement, the center failed to ensure that where playground equipment is provided, resilient surfacing complies with the minimum safety standards. Evidence: 1. The mulch depth around the red webbed climber was three inches. 2. The mulch depth around the yellow swinger and climber was two inches. 3. The mulch depth around the blue and green climber was three inches.
Plan of Correction:	We have moved some existing mulch and have mulch arriving week of 7/31 to ensure we meet depth requirements.
Standard #:	8VAC20-780-340-F
Description:	Based on observation and interview, the center failed to ensure that children under the are of 10 years old are always within actual sight and sound of supervising staff. Evidence: 1. In the Preschool ? Seahorse classroom, three children were observed leaving the classroom, putting in their cubbies and then returning to the classroom. There was no staff member present in the hallway. 2. Staff #11 confirmed that the children cannot be seen from the classroom when they are in the hallway.
Plan of Correction:	Strong reminders were given to all staff and administrators will follow up on these regularly. We understand both requirements. In hopes of making sure parents help us with labeling of food materials we have stations now on both of our entrance floors.
