Inspector Notes

An unannounced, on-site monitoring inspection was initiated on 3/17/26 and completed on 3/17/26. The on-site inspection began at 1:00 p.m. and ended at 1:45p.m. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas listed above. There were eight children present and one caregivers; the point total was 15. The inspector reviewed four children?s records and one caregiver record on-site. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews, and observations.

A subsidy health and safety inspection (SHSI) was conducted in conjunction with the licensing inspection. Subsidy standards that are not covered in licensing standards were reviewed during this SHSI.

Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law, and 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 4/1/26. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.

Violations

1
Standard 8VAC20-800-420-A
Rooms, halls and stairways used by children in care shall be lighted with natural or electric lighting for the children?s safety and comfort.

Evidence: During naptime children were observed sleeping in rooms with doors shut and no lighting. Licensing Inspector (LI) entered the rooms and could not determine where the children were in the room or how many were present in each room without the use of a light source.
Plan of Correction: To be in compliance with the standard, sufficient lighting in the sleeping areas have been purchased, installed and improved on March 18,2026. As suggested by the licensing inspector, small space lights could be placed in the sleeping areas. Space lights have been placed directly where the children rest to provide better visibility of each child and their resting area. Several tables and chairs are stacked and rearranged to better prevent any injuries, providing more space around sleeping areas and an easier access in or out of rooms. Doors to classrooms are opened. A younger student's sleeping space have been relocated to a larger area with more natural light and not near furniture.
