Comments:

An unannounced monitoring visit was conducted today. Two children were present with one caregiver for six points which is within ratios for supervision. Observed one child playing with books, trucks, manipulatives and the younger one was napping upon arrival. Reviewed 2 children's records, the providers training, background checks and health documentation. Emergency preparation is current for drills and supplies in case of an emergency. Lunch to be served today was chicken roll up, mixed vegetables, cut up grapes and milk for the older child as well as cereal and sweet potatoes for the infant. Dedicated space in the back room is well maintained and has ample supply of age appropriate materials. 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. Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance. Ann Dramstad, Children?s Inspector Office of Child Care Health and Safety Division of School Readiness 703-314-0860 ann.dramstad@doe.virginia.gov
