The inspection findings have been updated as a result of a first step review completed on
November 24, 2025.
An unannounced investigation was initiated on August 13, 2025, and completed on August 25, 2025, with the local agency in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on August 13, 2025, relating to allegations of capacity. The inspector reviewed one child?s record and two caregiver records on-site. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews and observations.
The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegations; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law, and the violations are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
Please complete the plan of correction (POC) and date to be corrected sections for each violation cited on the violation notice. Specify how the violation will be or has been corrected. Submit your POC within five business days from today, which will be the close of business on September 23, 2025. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.

Standard #: 8VAC20-800-40-A Complaint related: Yes Description: The provider shall ensure that the total number of children receiving care at any one time does not exceed the maximum licensed capacity of the home.
The attendance sheet dated August 12, 2025, documents a total of 13 children in attendance that day.Plan of Correction: The provider understands that accurate documentation of real-time attendance is critical. While staggered schedules were in place, the format of the previous attendance sheet did not make this distinction clear. To correct this, the provider has adopted a new system that records actual arrival and departure times, ensuring full transparency and ongoing compliance. Although it is not required by licensing to document arrival and departure times, the provider has chosen to implement this practice as a best-effort measure. Staff are regularly trained on proper record-keeping to ensure ongoing compliance.

The attendance sheet from that date reflects a total of 20 points, leaving the Assistant over points.Plan of Correction: August 12, 2025: While staggered schedules were in place, the format of the previous attendance sheet did not make this distinction clear.
