Comments:

This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, including telephone contact, document review, an interview with the provider and a virtual tour of the program. A monitoring inspection was initiated on 9/8/2021 and concluded on 9/9/2021 with an exit interview. The provider was contacted by telephone and a virtual inspection was conducted. There were nine children present, ranging from 19 months to four years of age, with the provider and an assistant supervising. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, personnel, physical health of caregivers, caregiver training, physical environment and equipment, care of children, preventing the spread of disease, medication, emergencies and nutrition. A total of two child records and two caregiver member records were reviewed. The information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations are documented on the violation notice issued to the program. If you have further questions about this inspection please contact Donna Liberman at 540-359-5244 or Donna.Liberman@doe.virginia.gov.
