Inspector Notes

A complaint investigation was initiated on 1/19/2023 from a report received by the Fairfax Licensing Office on 1/17/2023.

The information gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation of inappropriate child guidance, so the complaint is determined to be ?not valid.?
An additional monitoring inspection was conducted on 1/19/2023 from 12:20pm until 1:30pm. There were 115 children present supervised by 21 staff members. An inspection of the classrooms, staff records, children's records, medications, emergency plans and drills was conducted. Violations resulting from this inspection can be found on the violation notice. If you have any questions, contact Kara Wright at kara.vaughan@doe.virginia.gov
