Standard #: 8VAC20-780-340-A Complaint related: Yes Description: Based on staff interviews and review of documentation it was determined that staff did not always ensure the care protection and guidance of children under their supervision. Evidence: Based on staff interviews it was determined that administration did not provide support to staff in need of assistance in classrooms who have children enrolled with challenging behaviors. Staff report that there are two children enrolled in the Pre-K classroom with challenging behavior. It is reported that staff are unable to manage and supervise the entire classroom while alone due to focusing their attention on the children with challenging behaviors. Staff are reported to be alone during rest time and in the afternoons around 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm. Staff have reported these concerns to administration however, they are still caring for children alone once the ratio allows for one teacher without support. The Licensing Inspector observed 11 injury reports from 08/03/23 - 02/13/24 where injuries were sustained to children by other children in the Pre-K classroom. Plan of Correction: Not available online. Contact Inspector for more information.
