Inspector Notes

An unannounced complaint investigation was conducted on 6/8/22 in response to a complaint received in the licensing office regarding allegations of forbidden action, rough handling; forbidden action, enclosure in a confined space; inappropriate behavior guidance; and unsanitary practices. Based on a review of documentation, interviews conducted, and classroom observation, the allegations were unable to be substantiated due to insufficient corroborating evidence. Violations were cited that were not part of the complaint but were found during the investigation. If you have questions regarding this inspection, please contact the Licensing Inspector, Laura Brindle, at laura.brindle@doe.virginia.gov or 540-905-2062.

Please complete the "Plan of Correction" and "Date to be Corrected" areas on the Violation Notice for each violation cited and return to me by close of business on 6/17/22. Plans of correction should include steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard, and measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again.
