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. A monitoring inspection was initiated and completed on December 7th, 2020. The provider was contacted by telephone to initiate the inspection. There were 5 children present with 1 caregiver. The inspector emailed the director a list of items required to complete the inspection. The Inspector reviewed 2 children's records and 1 caregiver's record submitted by the facility to ensure documentation was complete. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliances with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility. If you have any questions, please contact me at Tanya.Johnson1@dss.virginia.gov or call 571.423.6392.
