Inspector Notes

An announced initial inspection was conducted on August 17, 2021 from 10:20am to 12:15pm. There were no children in care during this inspection as the home has not yet opened for child care purposes. The family day home is requesting a licensed capacity for 12 children ages 18 months through 7 years. Provider has been approved by zoning to provide care for this number. All required documents including the menu, emergency phone numbers, daily schedule, and emergency preparedness plan were reviewed. First aid kit and emergency equipment were present.
The program will offer morning and afternoon snacks for children in care.
Medication will not be administered.
Transportation is not provided.
During the inspection, compliance with some standards could not be determined since the center is not yet in operation. Compliance with these standards will be determined during unannounced visits once the program is in operation. Though some standards of care could not be determined during the initial study, the home is in substantial compliance with the standards that could be determined.
If you have any questions about this inspection, please contact your licensing inspector, Kandra Brown, at (804) 929-3771.
