Comments:
This inspection was conducted by staff using an alternative remote protocol, necessary due to a state of emergency health pandemic declared by the Governor of Virginia. An on-site inspection of the home was not conducted at this time however, a portion of the inspection included a virtual component which allowed the inspector to observe the daycare areas of the home.

An unannounced subsidy inspection was conducted at 10:08am. The vendor was contacted by phone to initiate the inspection, and emailed a list of items required to complete the inspection. There were 3 children in care + 2 children living in the home present = 7 points with the vendor. The daycare was sufficiently supplied with toys and equipment for children. Information gathered during the inspection determined there were non-compliances with applicable standards or laws reviewed.
