Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated on 8/22/2024 and completed on 9/16/2024 with local agencies in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 8/20/2024 relating to allegations of supervision. The inspector reviewed 1 child record and 2 staff records on-site. This inspection included evidence review, document review, tour of the facility, interviews, and observations. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and the violations are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.

Violations

Standard 22.1-289.031-B-2
Procedures for the appropriate supervision of all children in care are required to be established and implemented to ensure the safety of children.

The religious exempt child day center's supervision policy and procedure states: "You must account for all children at every transition...by verifying names and notating such on the Transition Tracking Sheet". This procedure was not followed on 8/19/2024 when the 3's classroom returned inside from the playground at approximately 3:00pm-3:05pm. Child #1 (Age 3) was documented as being signed back in from recess at 3:00pm, however, the child remained outside alone and unsupervised on the playground for approximately one hour and 15 minutes until the child was found by someone other than center staff.
