Evidence:
A carbon monoxide detector was not observed in the center during the inspection on 3/2/2022.

Standard 8VAC20-780-440-E
Based on observation, the facility did not ensure that at least 12 inches of space is maintained between occupied cots, beds, and rest mats.

Evidence:
Children were observed in the Two's room and the Fours' room sleeping on cots lined up with between 2 and 5 inches of space between them. When classroom staff were asked about the spacing of cots, they replied that they were spacing the children as much as possible given the floor space available.
Plan of Correction: The program director stated that various pieces of furniture are now being removed from classrooms during nap time to allow for resting children to have a minimum of12 inches of space between their cots.
Standard 8VAC20-780-80-A
Based on observation and interview, the center was unable to demonstrate that, for each group of children, the center maintains a written record of daily attendance that documents the arrival and departure of each child in care as it occurs.

Evidence:
During the inspection, the sign in and out sheets at the front reception area were reviewed.
When compared with actual children present, there were multiple children present in each classroom who were not signed in on the parents' sign-in roster.
In addition, there was no actual time recorded on the sign in sheets for the arrival of children or the departure of children.
Individual classrooms had attendance books that showed children present or absent each day but did not indicate the arrival or the departure times of the children who had been in attendance.
Plan of Correction: The program director has adjusted the attendance forms used for parents to sign their children in and out of the program to include the time of arrival and the time of departure for each child.
In addition, the staff who are regularly present at the front lobby at opening and closing of the program have been asked to remind parents to sign in or out as they are arriving or departing with their children each day.
