Violations:

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 of the Children?s House classroom, there were 10 children present, but the written record reflected there were 8 children present.
Plan of Correction:	Faculty will record all present children in each classroom accurately moving forward, regardless if students are transitioning classrooms.
Standard #:	8VAC20-780-270-A
Description:	Based on observation, 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. At the Children?s House outside play yard, there are 2 tree branches at approximately 3 feet in height from the ground with sharp branches protruding from the tree by approximately 8 inches that could snag a child?s skin.
Plan of Correction:	Faculty made an appointment w/someone to cut the protruding branches off as soon as possible.
Standard #:	8VAC20-780-500-C
Description:	Based on observation, the center did not ensure that toilet chairs were emptied promptly and cleaned and sanitized after each use. During inspection in the restroom of the Young Children's Community classroom, there was a toilet chair that had not been emptied.
Plan of Correction:	Faculty will move forward with cleaning/sanitizing all toilet chairs after each use promptly.
