Comments:

This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, including telephone contact, documentation review, interview, and a virtual tour of the program. A renewal inspection was initiated on 1/31/22 and concluded on 2/7/22. The provider was contacted by telephone and a virtual inspection was conducted. There were six daycare children present plus a household child, ranging in age from five-months to three-years-old, with two staff supervising. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, medication, special care and emergencies, and nutrition. A total of two child records, one household member record, and two staff records were reviewed. 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. If you have questions regarding this inspection you may contact the Licensing Inspector, Laura Brindle, at laura.brindle@doe.virginia.gov or 540-905-2062.
