Comments:

A renewal inspection was conducted today. The provider was caring for 4 children, totaling 11 points. The children were observed playing with toys, enjoying creative play activities, and waking from a morning nap. The Inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administrative records, emergency preparedness, child nutrition, caregiver training, children's records, caregiver records, background checks, programming, and the physical plant. Thank you for meeting with me for this inspection. If you have any questions, please email me at sandra.dimperio@doe.virginia.gov
