    • Staff training and qualifications

      22.1-289.031-B-3

      “Based on record review and an interview, the center did not ensure to have at least one person on staff that has been trained to conduct daily simple health screenings of children. Evidence: During the inspection of six staff records and an interview with the center representative, it was discovered there were no staff that received training in daily health screenings within the past three years. Religious exempt requirements stipulate that a staff should be able to conduct a daily simple health screening and exclusion of sick children by a person trained to perform such screenings. Daily health screenings should be completed every three years.”
    • Safety and hazards

      22.1-289.058

      “Based on observation and an interview, the center did not ensure that the building serving preschool aged children was equipped with at least one carbon monoxide detector. Evidence: The licensing inspector did not see a carbon monoxide detector installed in the center. The center’s administrator stated that a carbon monoxide detector is not currently installed in the building.”
    • Background checks

      22.1-289.035-B-4

      “Based on record review, the center did not ensure one of six staff records contained documentation of sex offender registry check results and child abuse and neglect search requests from any state in which the individual has resided in the past five years. Evidence: 1. The record of staff #2 (employment date: 10/8/2021) did not have documentation of out of state sex offender registry check results and child abuse and neglect search requests. 2. The record of staff #2 indicated that the staff member has lived outside of Virginia within the last 5 years.”
