Discussed the following with the Provider: - requirements and the process for moving the FDH to another house. - timeframe for completing repeat background checks (5 years)

Comments:

An unannounced focused monitoring inspection was completed today. Today's inspection is being completed due to the FDH having been placed on a 6 month Provisional license. The physical plant, 5 caregiver records, 5 children's records, caregiver training, child nutrition, children's activities and evacuation drills were inspected between 11:45am- 1:10pm. There were 11 children, totaling 41 points, directly supervised by 4 staff. There are no caregivers certified in MAT (medication administration training) and there are no children with any medication needs at this time. Children were observed enjoying free play with toys while interacting with the caregivers, listening to story time and taking a nap . For lunch, the children were served grilled chicken, cauliflower rice, tator tots and milk. Should you have any questions regarding this inspection, please contact me at mary.wizbicki@dss.virginia.gov.
