Based on observation, not all areas of the center were maintained in a safe condition. Evidence: the playground fence was lined with plastic spikes held on by cable ties. There was one tie per unit, giving the unit of spikes latitude to move in almost every direction. The spikes are sharp, could cause impalement, and were within reach of children on the gate between the older and younger children's playgrounds.
Plan of Correction: Not available online. Contact Inspector for more information.
Standard 8VAC20-780-40-M
Based on observation, and an interview with staff, the center failed to maintain a current written list of all children's allergies, sensitivities, and dietary restrictions. Evidence: the written allergy list posted in the explorer and toddler classrooms was dated: 6/9/21. Staff stated that the list was not up to date.
Plan of Correction: Not available online. Contact Inspector for more information.
