Standard 8VAC20-780-270-A
Based on observation, it was determined that the center is not maintained in a safe condition.
Evidence:
The Licensing Inspector (LI) observed a fan on top of the cabinet in the Twos A classroom. The cord to the fan was plugged into the outlet and hung in reach of the children, which presented a hazard of a child pulling on the cord and the fan falling on top of a child(ren).
Plan of Correction: The fan was immediately removed and no longer presents a hazard. We will talk with staff about the importance of maintaining a safe environment.

Based on interview and a review of recordkeeping, it was determined that the center has not practiced lockdown procedures at least annually.
Evidence:
The last documented lockdown drill is dated 2/26/18.
Plan of Correction: We will conduct a lockdown drill this month.
Standard 8VAC20-780-80-A
Based on observation and interview, it was determined that the center is not maintaining a written record of daily attendance that documents the arrival and departure of each child in care as it occurs.
Evidence:
Two children were listed on the attendance log, however three children were present in the toddler A classroom.
Plan of Correction: I will add this newly enrolled child to the attendance roster. We will make sure to maintain up to date attendance.
