Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-111-240-A
Description:	Based on observation, equipment in the center was not maintained in a safe condition. Evidence: A crib was observed to be wobbly and the sides could be moved slightly back and forth. This was previously cited on the renewal inspection conducted in 12/2019. The lose hinge was mended but the crib is still wobbly.
Plan of Correction:	We will remove the crib or fix the crib until it is no longer wobbly.
Standard #:	22VAC40-111-600-B
Description:	Based on observation, infants spent more than 30 minutes of consecutive time during waking hours confined in a high chair. Evidence: 1) At 10:45am Child 1 (12 monthis), Child 2 (17 months), and Child 3 (29 months) were observed sitting in high chairs watching television. At 11:20am, the children were turned towards the center of the room to begin eating lunch. The children were in the high chairs for a total of 40 consecutive minutes in a high chair watching television. The children were removed from high chairs once lunch was completed which was at about 11:40am.
Plan of Correction:	We will make sure that we change the way we do things. We will have one staff play with children while the other completes other tasks.
