Violations:
Standard #: 63.2(17)-1716-A-4
Description: Based on record review and interview, the center failed to ensure all staff have been certified by a practicing physician or physician assistant to be free from any disability which would prevent him/her from caring for children under his/her supervision prior to start date.

Evidence:

1. The record for staff 4 documents the start date as 8/4/20. The staff health form is dated 10/1/20.
2. The director stated staff 4's mother moved and did not assist her in making the appointment. The director was aware the health form was late.

Plan of Correction: In the future no staff member will be allowed to start with children until a completed staff health form is provided.

Standard #: 63.2(17)-1720.1-B-4
Description: Based on record review and interview, the center failed to obtain a copy of the results of sex offender registry check from any state in which the applicant has resided in the preceding five years prior to employment.

Evidence:

1. The record for staff 5 documents the start date as 12/15/20. The sworn disclosure statement documents staff 5 lived in another state within the last five years. There is no documentation of a sex offender registry check.
2. The director verified the start date (started orientation on 12/15/20) and stated they do not have a sex offender registry check for staff 5.

Plan of Correction: A sex offender registry check will be conducted in the state 5 lived in prior to living in VA. In the future if a staff member lived in another state within five years to being hired a sex offender registry check will be completed prior to hire.
