Conducted an unannounced monitoring inspection at 3:30pn. Observed 74 children + 13 direct-care staff. Ratios and supervision were in compliance. Children were engaged in a variety of activities to include: reciting ABC's, playing with toys and blocks, learning about emotions, art, eating snack, and departing for the day. Staff were actively engaged with the children and activities. Snack served: applesauce, pineapples, graham crackers and water. The facility was found to be clean and well supplied toys and equipment for the children. Areas of non-compliance with standards and laws reviewed were found.

- Violations:
-
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-500-B Description: Based on observations made, the licensee failed to ensure that soiled diapers were disposed of in either a foot-operated container or used in a way that neither the staff person's hand or the diaper touches the exterior surface of the container. Evidence: The diaper disposal container in a 2-3 year old classroom was not foot operated and required staff to push the diaper through a flip-top lid to dispose of it. Plan of Correction: We will purchase a new diapering trash can that meets the VA standards immediately.
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-550-P Description: Based on records reviewed, staff did not ensure that 1 of 4 written injury reports included required documentation. Evidence: The written record did not document the date, time and how the parent was notified. Those areas of the report were left blank. Plan of Correction: We will complete injury reports in its entirety and retrain staff immediately.
