Violations

3
Standard 8VAC20-780-270-A
Areas inside of the center were not maintained in a safe condition.

There was peeling paint found in a children's bathroom and in 2 out of 3 classrooms inspected. Peeling paint was found next to the children's toilet, sink, diaper-changing table, and cubby.
In 1 out of 3 classrooms inspected, there were two pieces of brown children-sized chairs with several rips and tears on the arms of the chairs.
Plan of Correction: The peeling paint has been repaired in all affected areas and have been repainted.

The damaged chairs have been repaired with new fabric replacements.
Standard 8VAC20-780-270-C
Inside areas occupied by children shall be maintained no lower than 68 degrees F.

The temperature in an occupied classroom was 65 degrees.
Plan of Correction: The temperature has been adjusted to 72 degrees F.
Standard 8VAC20-780-500-B
Disposable diapers shall be 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.

During the inspection, the trash cans used for diaper disposal in 2 of the 3 classrooms were not hands-free. In one of the classrooms, the trash can lid was not properly connected to the trash can, as a result, it did not open automatically when the foot pedal was pressed.

In the second classroom, the trash can lid could be opened with a foot pedal, but there was a closed barrier within the trash can where a staff member would have to either use their hand or soiled diaper to push the barrier open to throw the diaper away.
Plan of Correction: The trash cans in all classrooms were fixed the same day.

In the second classroom, the trash can was replaced with a completely hands-free model.
