A monitoring inspection (virtual component) was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, including telephone contacts, documents review, interviews, and a virtual tour of the program. This inspection was initiated and concluded on 12/17/2021. The Provider was contacted and a virtual inspection was conducted. There were 10 children present (21 points), ranging from toddler to preschool age, with 3 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, and 3 caregiver records, and 2 household records were reviewed. Information gathered during the inspection determined that there were a total of (4) non-compliances with the applicable licensing Family Day Home (FDH) standards. 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.
