Technical Assistance:

Discussion of the new regulation to require carbon monoxide detectors in homes serving preschool age children. The Licensing Inspector (LI) show a pic of one on his cellphone. The Provider took a pic of that pic in order to get what was required. A copy of the Family Day Home (FDH) renewal application was sent to the FDH Provider to complete and return to our office. A $14 renewal fee has been waived until the end of this current year.

Comments:

The following on-site renewal inspection took place between the hours of 10 am through 11:30 am. The Licensing Inspector (LI) met with the Provider on site at the Family Day Home (FDH) located in Ashburn, Virginia. This unannounced inspection was initiated and concluded on 12/13/2021. There were 11 children present (25 points), ranging from infant to preschool age, with 2 caregivers supervising. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration; physical plant; staffing and supervision; programming; special care and emergencies; and nutrition. A total of 11 children records, 1 household record, and 2 staff records were reviewed. Information gathered during the inspection determined that there were a total of (3) non-compliances with applicable standards, and code. These violations were documented on the Violation Notice issued to the program. If you should have any questions, please call or send an email to charlie.perkins@doe.virginia.gov. Thank you.

Violations:

Standard #:	22.1-289.058
Description:	Based on observation and interview, there was not at least one carbon monoxide detector on site within the Family Day Home (FDH). Evidence - 1. The Provider stated (during an interview conducted on the date of inspection - 12/13/2021) that while a smoke detector was installed, a carbon monoxide detector was not. 2. The FDH currently severs preschool age children in a home built prior to 2015.
Plan of Correction:	A picture was taken from the Licensing Inspector's cellphone showing what this kind of detector looks like. I will purchase one and place in my home.
Standard #:	8VAC20-800-780-B
Description:	Based on review, 1 of 11 children files indicated that annually, the Provider did not review with the parent the emergency contact information required in 22 VAC 40-111-60 B 2 to ensure the information is correct, and obtain the parent's signed acknowledgment of the review. Evidence - 1. On the date of inspection (12/13/2021), the last review for Child #4 was dated - 07/22/2019. 2. An additional signature was observed on the following line.
