Violations

1
Standard 22.1-289.035-B-4
(Repeat Violation) Based on review of 5 staff records, the center did not obtain the results of a central registry check from all states in which staff members have resided within the last five years prior to employment.

Evidence:
The record for Staff #1 (date of hire 11/21/23) did not contain documentation of a completed central registry check from all states where they resided within the last five years prior to employment.
Plan of Correction: New employee lived in three different states in past five years. All background checks required in two states were completed and clear. It was unclear that the CPS background check was needed in the third state. Clearance for third state has been sent and results already received confirming eligibility to work in daycare. All background checks for this employee have now been successfully completed. Training completed to ensure background checks completed timely for any future employees.
