Inspector Notes

An unannounced Renewal Inspection was conducted today. A total of 50 children with 9 staff were present. Some classes were observed outside washing hands and eating snack outside. Children were observed transitioning to inside or to the outside amphitheater for planned activities. Observation of all classrooms, bathrooms, playground and some of the nature trails was made. Activities today included the color "blue". Artwork was either on display or drying that focused on the color blue. Blue crepe paper, feathers and glitter were used for some of the projects. All four classes rotated between centers located in the classrooms, hallway and another activity room. Staff were strategically positioned to ensure adequate supervision of all children. Circle time that included reviewing the number of days in the month and identifying green and red apple patterns kept the children actively engaged. All new staff records were reviewed (3) and a follow up review of 1 additional staff record was reviewed. A total of 5 children's records were reviewed. This inspection occurred between 10am and 1pm. Thank you for your cooperation today. Please email me with any questions at: lisa.hudson@doe.virginia.gov
