- Violations:
-
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-340-A Description: Based on photographs and staff interviews, the center failed to ensure that when staff are supervising children, they shall always ensure their care, protection and guidance.
Evidence: On 01/25/2024 Staff 2 was notified that upon arriving at home from care that day, the parent of Child 1 (age 9 months) discovered that Child 1?s Velcro bib had been tied tightly in a double knot around their neck. Pictures of Child 1 show that the bib was double-knotted and tied tight enough to leave a visible red mark around the child?s neck. It was determined through staff interviews that Staff 1 had tied the bib around Child 1?s neck. Staff 1 did not ensure the care and protection of Child 1 when she tied the bib tightly around the child?s neck.Plan of Correction: Bibs are no longer allowed at the center.
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-350-B-2 Description: Based on observation and record review, the center failed to maintain the required staff-to-child ratio whenever children are in care.
Evidence: There were 16 children and 2 staff members observed in the Toddler-2?s Classroom during the 01/30/2024 inspection. Child 2 was determined to be 17 months old. The required staff-to-child ratio for children 16 months- 24 months is 1:5. Three staff would be required for this group of children.Plan of Correction: We are now turning children away in order to meet ratio until we get staff hired.
