Comments:

An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted on 3/27/23. The provider was present with 11 children and two assistants, a total of 42 points. The provider only cares for infants and toddlers and the space is set up to accommodate that age group. Observed lunch and getting ready for nap and nap time. Lots of interaction between caregivers and children. Children bring their food from home. A violation notice was given to the provider at the time of the inspection. Please call me at 703-203-8659 or email me at pernille.brandt@doe.virginia.gov if you have any questions regarding this inspection.
