Inspector Notes

An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted on 10/17/22 from 9:30am to 10:30am with the provider. There were no children in care as the provider reported having a delayed opening this morning due to an appointment. Two children were expected to arrive for the day and two additional children are enrolled part-time. Four child records, one caregiver record, and one household member record were reviewed. The provider has current certification in CPR and First Aid, and understands that she must obtain certification in Medication Administration Training (MAT) in order to give medication. The first aid kit, flashlight, weather band radio, and carbon monoxide detector were observed. The emergency drill log and menu were also requested. 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 10/24/22. Plans of correction should include steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard, and measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again.
