Effective January 1, 2025, the VDOE will begin determining compliance with ? 22.1-289.057 of the Code of Virginia, which is legislation passed by the General Assembly in 2020. The law requires all licensed child day programs, religious exempt child day centers that serve preschool age children, and certified preschools to test potable drinking water. The law requires that programs submit their plans and test results to the Virginia Department of Health Office of Drinking Water (VDH ODW) and the Superintendent. If the results of the testing indicate elevated lead levels, the program shall remediate, retest, and resubmit results to VDH ODW and the Superintendent. There is an additional alternative bottled water option that comes with additional requirements. The statutory requirement can be found online at https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title22.1/chapter14.1/section22.1-289.057/.

An unannounced inspection was initiated on July 24, 2024 and completed on July 25, 2024 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on July 17, 2024 relating to allegations of equipment in unsafe condition. The inspection included observations, a tour of the facility and interviews. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegation; therefore the complaint is determined to be valid. Information gathered during the inspection determined noncompliance with applicable standards or law and the violations are documented on the violation notice issued to the program. Please complete the plan of correction (POC) and date to corrected sections for each violation cited on the violation notice. Specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Submit your POC within five business days. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
