Technical Assistance:

It is important that when recording a shelter in place drill and a fire drill on the same date, the Provider cannot conduct the drills at the same time. One drill requires practice leaving the home and the other is about staying safe inside due to a bad storm.

Comments:

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted today from 1:30pm-2:20 pm. There were 7 children directly supervised by 1 staff for a total of 21 points. During the inspection, the Provider and another caregiver returned and was able to answer questions.

There were no medications on site today. Children were observed playing freely and sleeping. Diapering procedures were also observed. The provider corrected the physical plant violations noted in the last inspection. Areas of non-compliance are identified in the Violation Notice.

Plan of Correction:	I will make sure I record the drill as it happens and that time listed meets the correct time.
Standard #:	8VAC20-800-50-A
Description:	Based on review of daily attendance, it was determined the Provider did not record a child's attendance on this day. Evidence: 1. Daily attendance log had 6 names listed but there was 7 present. 2. Provider stated they must have just forgotten to add.
Plan of Correction:	I will make sure to record the names of children when they arrive.
Standard #:	8VAC20-800-60-B
Description:	Based on review of child #3's file, it was determined the provider did not record the child's start date.
Plan of Correction:	I corrected date of enrollment during inspection.
Standard #:	8VAC20-800-570-A
Description:	Based on observation, it was determined the Provider did not ensure that a caregiver does not exceed 16 points. Evidence: 1. Upon arrival at 1:30, the Inspector waited for a caregiver to let her in. The caregiver was alone with 7 children and stated the Provider would be back. There were 7 children present for a total of 21 points. 2. A household member was present in the home but remained upstairs and was not present with the children. 3. The Provider and another caregiver arrived 35 minutes later and stated they were at the pharmacy.
Plan of Correction:	I understand that I have to meet supervision points at all times and that means caregivers are present in the space children are receiving care.
