Inspector Notes

A self- report was received regarding care and protection of one child. An onsite unannounced inspection was conducted.
Staff interviews were conducted, staff written statements reviewed and observation of classrooms was made. Collateral
Contacts were interviewed via telephone on 05/24/2022. The preponderance of evidence does not support a valid finding
with regards to care and protection, however one violation found regarding mandated reporter requirements.
A monitoring inspection also took place this date. Observation of all classrooms and outdoor play areas was made. Both
child and staff records were reviewed. Some violations were found during this inspection. Thank you for your cooperation
today. Please email me at: lisa.hudson@doe.virginia.gov with any questions.
