Standard 8VAC20-780-330-B
Based on observation, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure adequate resilient surfacing and a fall zone free of hazardous obstacles under and around all playground equipment as required. Evidence: On the Toddlers/Twos playground there were two slides approximately three feet from each other and less than six feet from the shade structure poles. There was a riding toy directly next to one of the slides in the fall zone. There was a seesaw on the cement sidewallk.
Plan of Correction: Will order mulch and move slides and seesaw so that there is an adequate resilient surface and fall zone around all equipment. Equipment will be removed until mulch is received.
Standard 8VAC20-780-500-A
Based on observation, the facility failed to ensure that all handwashing procedures were followed as required. Evidence: Staff changed a baby?s diaper and set them on the floor to play, without washing the child?s hands or their own hands afterwards.
Plan of Correction: Will retrain staff on handwashing procedures.
