Inspector Notes

An announced initial inspection was conducted on 3/20/2024 from 8:40am to 10:15am with the provider. The provider is planning to operate Monday through Friday from 6:00am to 6:00pm. The provider is planning to care for up to 11 children from 13-months to 12-years-old. There were five children in care, three daycare children and two household children, ranging in age from 13-months to three-years-old, for a total of 13 points. Children were observed finishing breakfast, washing hands, playing with blocks, cleaning up, doing circle time, and playing with playdough. Three child records were reviewed. The provider and household member records were reviewed prior to the on-site inspection. The provider has current certification in CPR and First Aid. The provider does not intend to administer medication at this time, but is planning to obtain Medication Administration Training (MAT) in order to administer medication in the future. A walk-through of the home was conducted to check for hazards. The home is equipped with a variety of age-appropriate supplies and materials. Meals are provided by the provider and menus were reviewed. Policies and procedures were reviewed with the provider. The first aid kit, flashlight, weather-band radio, carbon monoxide detector, and smoke detectors were observed. Emergency numbers, evacuation maps/procedures and daily schedules were posted. The attendance was also reviewed. A conditional license will be recommended. An unannounced follow-up inspection will be conducted within 60 days to determine compliance with standards not observed at the initial inspection. 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 4/5/24. Plans of correction should include steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard, and measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again.
