Comments:

This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, necessary due to a state of emergency health pandemic declared by the Governor of Virginia. An initial inspection was conducted on 7/27/2020. An exit interview was conducted on 7/31/2020. The provider was contacted by telephone to initiate the remote virtual inspection. There were no children present at the time of the inspection. The Inspector reviewed two provider/household member records, the menu, the emergency preparedness plan, the first aid kit, battery operated flashlight and weatherband radio. Toys, equipment, and materials were observed. Three cribs meet the US CPSC standards. The bathroom and diapering area were observed. The information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with standards that are documented on the violation notice issued to the facility. The Licensing Inspector has reviewed with the provider COVID-19 Essential Guidance for Child Care programs.
