Inspector Notes
An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted on 4/6/22 from 12:40pm to 1:40pm with the provider and two assistants. There were five children in care, ranging in age from six-months to three-years-old, for a total of 13 points. Children were observed napping. Two child records, three caregiver records, and two household member records were reviewed. The provider and both assistants have current certification in CPR and First Aid. The provider's medication administration training certificate has expired and the provider is aware that she cannot give medication until she recertifies. The attendance and required postings were reviewed. If you have questions regarding this inspection, please contact the Licensing Inspector, Laura Brindle, at laura.brindle@doe.virginia.gov or 540-905-2062.
Standard 8VAC20-800-210-A
Based on interview with the provider, the provider did not ensure that all caregivers obtained a minimum of sixteen hours of annual training relevant to their job responsibilities. Evidence: The provider reported that Caregiver #1 had not completed any training in the past year.
Plan of Correction: I will make sure all caregivers complete their annual training each year moving forward. Opportunities will be given to Caregiver #1 to do online training on site during nap time to ensure hours are completed.
Standard 8VAC20-800-80-A
Based on review of two child records, the provider did not obtain verification of the identity and age of a child within seven business days of the child's first day of attendance. Evidence: The record for Child A, with a start date of 1/17/22, did not contain verification of the identity and age of the child.
Plan of Correction: This was requested from the parents during the inspection. I will be sure to request it at enrollment in the future.
Standard 8VAC20-800-830-C
Based on interview with the provider, documentation was not maintained of emergency evacuation and shelter-in-place drills. Evidence: Documentation of drills was not made available to the Inspector and the provider reported that they knew the log was not up to date.
Plan of Correction: Moving forward I will make sure to update my drill log each time I complete a drill.
Standard 8VAC20-800-920
Based on observation and interview with the provider, the menu for the current one-week period was not available. Evidence: There was no menu available during the inspection and the provider reported that she had not created one for the week.
Plan of Correction: I will be sure to create a weekly menu moving forward.
