Technical Assistance:

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) assumed oversight of child care licensing and monitoring on July 1, 2021. All associated regulations and codes have transferred over from the Virginia Department of Social Services. Guidance, resources and training links can be found on the new website childcareva.com. The violations listed below reflect the new VDOE codes and standards. Consultation was given on how to obtain out of state background checks, model forms and renewing her background checks prior to expiration in December.

Comments:

This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, including telephone contacts, documents review, interviews and a virtual tour of the program. A renewal inspection was initiated on 9/23/2021 and completed on 9/28/2021. The provider was contacted by telephone and a virtual inspection was conducted. There were 3 children present, ranging in ages from 20 months to 4 years with 2 staff supervising (7 points). The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, programming, medication, special care and emergencies and nutrition. A total of 1 child records and 2 staff records were reviewed. No medication was reported to be on-site today. Lunch served was cheese melt, fries, orange slices and milk. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program. Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance. Ann Dramstad, Children?s Inspector Office of Child Care Health and Safety Division of School Readiness 703-314-0860 ann.dramstad@doe.virginia.gov
