Inspector Notes

An unannounced complaint investigation was conducted on 9/8/23 from 8:20am to 9:35am in response to a complaint received in the licensing office regarding allegations pertaining to supervision; ratios; behavioral guidance policies; care, protection, and guidance; and smoking on the premises. Based on review of documentation, observation, and interviews conducted, the allegation regarding care, protection, and guidance was determined to be valid. The allegations regarding supervision, ratios, behavioral guidance policies, and smoking on the premises were unable to be substantiated due to insufficient corroborating evidence. If you have questions regarding this inspection, please contact the Licensing Inspector, Laura Brindle, at laura.brindle@doe.virginia.gov or 540-905-2062.

Please complete the "Plan of Correction" and "Date to be Corrected" areas on the Violation Notice for each violation cited and return to me by close of business on 9/27/23. Plans of correction should include steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard, and measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again.

Based on interview, the center did not ensure that when staff were supervising children, they always ensured their care, protection, and guidance.

It will record application before the field trip, upon arrival to field trip, and then every 2 hours. Staff will document if student refused or did not have sunscreen.
