DAY CARE INSPECTIONS: 3 Local Day Care Centers Earn Outstanding Inspection Reports

Posted

In the past month, several local day care centers have received passing inspection reports from the Virginia Department of Social Services.

According to public inspection reports, Lake Manassas Academy, located at 14930 Holly Knoll Lane in Gainesville, received two consecutive successful reports for their Nov. 25 and July 31, 2013 inspections.

Although the facility was investigated June 19 for a complaint, it was found invalid. This incident followed another outstanding inspection May 29.

Cedar Point Elementary SAC, located at 12601 Braemar Parkway in Bristow and Glenkirk Elementary SAC Program, located at 8584 Sedge Wren Drive in Gainesville, also received positive reports for their Nov. 2013 inspections.

Full reports of each provider are located online and are 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.”
