An unannounced complaint inspection was conducted on 08/23/2023 from 10:20am to 1:55pm as the result of a complaint received in our office regarding safety, supervision, toileting, behavioral guidance and forbidden actions. The investigation was completed together with another licensing inspector. Documentation was reviewed, classrooms were observed and interviews were conducted both onsite and offsite. There was an adequate number of staff present with current certification in Medication Administration Training (MAT), CPR and First Aid, and Daily Health Observation (DHO) training. Based on the preponderance of evidence collected during the investigation, the complaint related to injury reporting was determined to be valid. The exit interview was conducted on 9/19/23 with the Head of School. Areas of non-compliance unrelated to the complaint are identified in the Violation Notice.
Please complete the columns for "Plan of Correction" and "Date to be Corrected" for each violation cited on the Violation Notice, and then return a signed and dated copy to the licensing office by 5pm on 9/25/23. Please email me at angela.dudek@doe.virginia.gov with any questions.
