Violations

2
Standard 8VAC20-780-500-B
Based on observations made, the licensee failed to ensure that soiled diapers were disposed of in either a foot-operated container or used in a way that neither the staff person's hand or the diaper touches the exterior surface of the container. Evidence: The diaper disposal container in a 2-3 year old classroom was not foot operated and required staff to push the diaper through a flip-top lid to dispose of it.
Plan of Correction: We will purchase a new diapering trash can that meets the VA standards immediately.
Standard 8VAC20-780-550-P
Based on records reviewed, staff did not ensure that 1 of 4 written injury reports included required documentation. Evidence: The written record did not document the date, time and how the parent was notified. Those areas of the report were left blank.
Plan of Correction: We will complete injury reports in its entirety and retrain staff immediately.
