Standard 8VAC20-780-240-B
Repeat Violation. Staff are to complete orientation training appropriate to the age of the children in care and including all required facility specific topics prior to working alone with children and no later than 7 days of the date of assuming job responsibilities. Staff #1?s record did not contain documentation of this training which is overdue by 8 months.
Plan of Correction: The Senior Childcare Director stated that the Orientation training will be completed and documented in staff #1's record within 2 weeks. Orientation training will be conducted within 7 days of hire for new staff and documented clearly in their record.
Standard 8VAC20-780-290-A-3
Repeat Violation. In areas used by preschool-age or younger children, electrical outlets shall have protective covers. Children present for care in the cafeteria included a four-year-old preschool child. None of the outlets around the perimeter of the room had protective covers.
Plan of Correction: The site director will request that a large quantity of electrical outlet covers be purchased and kept on hand so that she may replace them as needed since the area where they operate is a shared space and the outlet covers are often removed while the program is not operating.
