Following recent inspections, the Virginia Department of Social Services found no violations in three local child care centers in March and April.
KinderCare Learning Center, at 12871 Braemar Village Plaza in Bristow and Minnieland Academy at Gainesville, at 8299 Harness Shop Road in Gainesville, received positive reports for their April 2014 inspections.
Little Rocketeers Child Care, at 9345 Devlins Grove Place in Bristow, also received a successful report for their March 2014 inspection.
Full reports of each provider are located online and available for public viewing.
The Virginia Department of Social Services inspects all licensed child-welfare agencies at least twice a year, with at least one unannounced inspection each year.
“In order to determine continued compliance with standards during the effective dates of the license, the department’s licensing representative will make announced and unannounced inspections of the facility or agency during the hours of its operation,” the agency states on their website. “The licensee is responsible for correcting any areas of noncompliance found during renewal or monitoring inspections.”
VDSS cautions that a compliance history is in no way a rating for a facility and online compliance reports do not include consideration that some information regarding “adverse actions” may be the subject of pending appeals.
According to the agency, “through the administration of the licensing program, the Department of Social Services assumes responsibility to ensure that licensed facilities and agencies provide children and adults with at least a minimum level of care in accordance with regulations prescribed by the State Board of Social Services and Child Day-Care Council.”
