Violations

1
Standard 8VAC20-780-500-B
Based on documentation and interviews, staff did not always ensure that children are cleaned and changed immediately when their clothes or diaper are wet or soiled.

Evidence:
The digital program that staff utilize for documenting children's feedings, diaper changes, activities and important information throughout the day showed that:on 5/23/2023, child #1 arrived at the center at 8:50 a.m. Child #1's wet diaper was changed at 9:50 and again at 11:50. Child #1 had a bottle, took a nap and had an afternoon snack between 1:15 p.m. and 3:46 pm and at 4:48 child #1 was signed out and left the center for the day. Nearly 5 hours had passed since child #1's diaper had been changed when she was picked up from care.
Child #1's diaper was reportedly very wet at the time that she left the center to go home.
Plan of Correction: The licensee states "Staff will be retrained on our diapering policy which is to change students every 2 hrs or sooner if needed".
