Comments:

A monitoring inspection was initiated and concluded on 6/8/2022. At the time of the inspector's arrival, there were 3 children present, ranging in ages from 1 to 5 years old with the licensee supervising. 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 3 child records and 4 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.

Violations:

Standard #:	8VAC20-770-40-D-5-a
Description:	Based on a review of records and interview, the licensee was unable to demonstrate that each person residing in the home obtains a search of the Child Protective Services central registry check within 30 days of turning 14 years old. Evidence: Four provider / household member records were reviewed. The record for household member #4, who turned 14 years old more than 30 days ago, did not contain the results of a search of the central registry. The licensee stated that wit was an oversight and she had not yet requested a central registry report for household member #4.
Plan of Correction:	The licensee will request for a search of the central registry which will be sent out for household member #4 within 10 days. Copies of the request and payment and/or results of the central registry search for household member #4 will be forwarded to the inspector within 10 days of the inspection on 6/8/2022.
Standard #:	8VAC20-800-100-A
Description:	Based on a review of records and interview, the licensee was unable to demonstrate that documentation of a physical examination by or under the direction of a physician prior to a child's attendance or within 30 days after the first day of attendance is obtained for each enrolled child. Evidence: Three children's records were reviewed. The records for child #2 whose enrollment date was documented as 1/11/2022 and child #3 whose enrollment date was documented as 3/2/2021 did not contain the results of a physical examination. The licensee confirmed that this documentation was not available at the time of the inspection.
Plan of Correction:	The licensee stated that she believes she may have this documentation but is unable to locate it. She will search for the physical exams for child #2 and child #3 but will contact the children's parents to request another copy by the end of next week if she is unable to locate them.
Standard #:	8VAC20-800-350-E
Description:	Based on measurements taken with a digital thermometer during the inspection, the licensee did not ensure that hot water at taps available to children shall be maintained within a range of 105?F to 120?F. Evidence: The hot water temperature from the hot water tap located at the handwashing sink in the restroom that children utilize during care measured 126 degrees Fahrenheit with a digital thermometer on the day of the inspection.
Plan of Correction:	The licensee stated that she will continue to carefully monitor children as they use the handwashing sink and will always adjust the water temperature for them to ensure it is not too hot. The licensee will research options for ensuring the water does not reach a temperature above 120 degrees Fahrenheit and will make these adjustments by the end of the month.
