Violations

5
Standard 8VAC20-800-320-B
Child-resistant protective covers shall be installed on all unused electrical outlets.

There were two unused electrical outlets that did not have child-resistant protective covers, within reach of children.
Plan of Correction: The two uncovered electrical outlets noted during the inspection are used daily for sound machine. I recognize the importance of ensuring all unused outlets are safely covered and will make it a priority to re-cover them immediately after use.
Standard 8VAC20-800-60-A
The provider shall maintain an up-to-date record at the family day home for each enrolled child.

At the time of inspection, the provider was not able to provide a record for Child #1, Child #2, Child #3 and Child #4.

Child #1 has been enrolled for three days.

Child #2, #3 and #4 have been enrolled for over a month.
Plan of Correction: During the inspection, I was unable to provide the children's files because they had been moved by my grandmother, who was staying with me at the time. Unfortunately, she was sleeping during the inspection, and I was unaware of where the files had been placed until later in the day. I have since spoken with her and made it clear that daycare materials must not be moved or handled. I have also implemented a designated, secured area for all daycare files to prevent this from happening again.
Standard 8VAC20-800-60-B
A child's record shall contain name and policy number of the child's medical insurance.

Child #5's record did not contain name and policy number of the child's medical insurance. Child #5 has been enrolled for over a month.
Plan of Correction: The missing information in one child's record has since been provided by the parent. I have reviewed all other children's files to ensure they are complete and up to date. I will continue to conduct periodic checks to maintain compliance.
Standard 8VAC20-800-690-D
The diapering surface shall be nonabsorbent.

The diapering surface had tears causing the surface to be absorbent.
Plan of Correction: I have replaced the old changing pad with a brand-new one to ensure cleanliness and meet hygiene standards. Going forward, I will monitor the condition of all equipment regularly and replace items as needed.
Standard 8VAC20-800-830-C
Documentation shall be maintained of emergency evacuation drills.

At the time of inspection, there was no documentation of drills for May 2025 and June 2025.
Plan of Correction: The emergency drill log was temporarily misplaced during a recent renovation of my daycare space. After the inspection, I located the log and have returned it to its designated spot on the wall. I will ensure it remains visible and updated moving forward.
