Inspector Notes

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on 4/20/22 from 10:15am to 12:25pm with the Director. There were 59 children in care, ranging in age from six-weeks to five-years-old, supervised by 10 staff. The older children were observed eating butter they had made, having snack, getting ready to go outside while playing "Simon Says", having free play in centers while children individually made a volcano picture with a staff member, finger painting, coloring a color sheet about flowers and preparing to plant flowers, and playing outside. Infants were observed napping and interacting with staff and each other. Four child records and three staff records were reviewed. The Center has multiple staff with current certification in CPR and First Aid, as well as staff trained in Daily Health Observation Training. Four medications and authorization forms were reviewed. The attendance and emergency drill log were reviewed. The most recent Fire Inspection on file was dated 4/26/21 and the most recent Health Inspection on file was dated 5/3/21. Morning snack today was refried beans, tortilla chips, and water. If you have questions regarding this inspection, please contact the Licensing Inspector, Laura Brindle, at laura.brindle@doe.virginia.gov or 540-905-2062.

Based on review of three staff records, the center did not obtain documentation of a tuberculosis (TB) screening at the time of employment and prior to coming into contact with children for two staff. Evidence: 1. The TB test on record for Staff A, with a start date of 4/7/22, was dated 4/14/22. 2. The record for Staff B, with a start date of 3/21/22, did not contain documentation of a TB test.
Plan of Correction: Staff B was tested on 4/20/22 and documentation was added to their file and scanned to the Licensing Inspector. Moving forward we will make sure we obtain TB test results at the time of employment and prior to coming into contact with children.

Based on review of medication, documentation review, and interview, the center did not ensure that a Medication Administration trained (MAT) staff was on site at all times with medication on site.

The MAT certificates for the three managers all contained documentation that they expired on 4/13/22. Interview confirmed that there were no other MAT trained staff for the program.
Plan of Correction: MAT renewal training had been scheduled previously, but was cancelled. Staff completed the MAT renewal on 4/23/22.
