Areas and equipment of the center, inside and outside, shall be maintained in a clean, safe and operable conditions.

The sink and carpets of the toddler room were visibly soiled with dirt. Two of the outdoor tables in the covered patio area were soiled with spilled food stuck to the tops.
Plan of Correction: The Director will ensure the sink and carpet will be cleaned.
Standard 8VAC20-780-280-B
Hazardous substances such as cleaning materials shall be kept in a locked place using a safe locking method that prevents access by children.

Cleaning supplies were found in unlocked cabinets out of reach of children in the school age classroom and the two to four year old classroom.

Standard 8VAC20-780-330-B
Where playground equipment is provided, resilient surfacing shall comply with minimum safety standards and shall be under equipment with moving parts or climbing apparatus to create a fall zone free of hazardous obstacles. Fall zones shall encompass sufficient area to include the child's trajectory in the event of a fall while the equipment is in use, and shall not include barriers for resilient surfacing.

The fall zone under and around the tire swing has grass growing through the sand. Grass is not considered resilient surfacing, and it impacts the shock-absorbing properties of the surfacing.

The use zone on the left side of the tire swing structure between structure and the landscaping barrier was measured at only 5 feet, 8 inches when a minimum of 6 feet is required.
Plan of Correction: The Director will ensure resilient surfacing is added to the fall zone under and around the tire swing.

The posted list in multiple classrooms was not posted in a way that protected confidentiality, and had not been updated since 2022.
Plan of Correction: The Director will up date the list, ensure it is confidential and posted anywhere children are present.
