The center is required to obtain background checks from any state in which the individual has resided in the preceding five years.
Staff #5, employed for more than four months, did not have documentation of requesting a criminal history check from one state. The request of the central registry for that state was dated three months after the date of employment. The out-of-state background checks must be requested prior to employment.
Plan of Correction: The missing background check will be requested. In the future, out-of-state background checks will be requested prior to employment.

Documentation of a negative tuberculosis (TB) screening must be submitted at the time of employment, before coming into contact with children, and shall have been completed within the last 30 days of the date of employment.

Plan of Correction: In the future, a TB that is dated more than 30 days prior to employment will not be accepted.

Disposable diapers shall be disposed in a leakproof or plastic-lined storage system that is either foot-operated or used in such a way that neither the staff member's hand nor the soiled diaper touches an exterior surface of the storage system during disposal.
The foot-operated trashcan in the diapering area used in the Infant classroom was broken. The trashcan could not be opened with the foot portion and staff had to touch the lid in order to dispose of soiled diapers.
Plan of Correction: A new trash can was purchased.
Standard 8VAC20-780-60-A
Each center shall maintain and keep at the center a separate record for each child enrolled that contains all of the required information.
The record of Child #1 (enrolled for six months) and the record of Child #2 (enrolled for 18 months) were missing the address of the two designated people to call in an emergency if a parent cannot be reached.
Plan of Correction: The missing information will be obtained when the children are picked up. The center is conducting annual updates at this time and will ensure all information is captured for all students.
