An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted from 10:40 am to 12:15 pm. There were nine children (33 points) in care of two caregivers. A third caregiver arrived at 11:55 am. Children were observed playing in the backyard, washing hands before eating lunch and singing songs. Currently, the provider is not providing meals, and children are bringing meals and snacks from home. There were no medications on site. 2 children's records, 2 caregiver's records and 2 household member's records along with other daycare documents 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.

Violations:

Standard #:	8VAC20-800-120-B
Description:	Based on records review, an assistant's record did not include documentation of two reference checks. Evidence: 1. Caregiver # 3's first day of employment was 3/22/22. 2. Caregiver # 3's record did not include two complete reference checks.
Plan of Correction:	I updated my records.
Standard #:	8VAC20-800-50-A
Description:	Based on records review, the provider did not maintain a written record of children in attendance each day. Evidence: Written documentation of children's attendance was not completed for 3/18/22.
Plan of Correction:	I will do my best to keep up with attendance every day.
Standard #:	8VAC20-800-240-A
Description:	Based on observation, areas and furnishings inside the family day were not maintained in a safe and operable condition. Evidence: 1. The wall with the mural behind the children's high chairs had a large part with peeling paint exposing the drywall. 2. The red storage shelf next to the diaper changing are has a hole creating a rough surface and some splintering.
Plan of Correction:	I am looking for someone to fix the wall so it can be repaired as soon as possible. The red storage area has already been repaired.
Standard #:	8VAC20-800-570-A
Description:	Based on observation, the provider did not maintain the point system by ensuring that an additional caregiver was present. Evidence: 1. At 10:40 am, there were 11 children (33 points) with the provider and Caregiver # 1. 2. The provider stated that Caregiver # 2 had come to work but had to leave as she was not feeling well. 3. In the meantime the provider arranged for Caregiver # 3 to come and help in the family day home. 4. Caregiver # 3 arrived at 11:55 am.
Plan of Correction:	My assistant was sick and had a fever so there was no way to keep her and there was no way I could find another assistant quicker than I did. In my opinion I did a good job in finding a replacement as quick as possible especially now that we are dealing with COVID -19. I am sorry that I don't have any plan of correction for that. I will do my best in the future.
Standard #:	8VAC20-800-690-D
Description:	Based on observation, the diapering surface was not non-absorbent. Evidence: The diaper pad had several tears on top and on the sides, making it an absorbent surface.
Plan of Correction:	I ordered a new diaper pad and it is being delivered soon.
