Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.
What these words mean4
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
- Licence status
- Whether the state’s licence lets the place operate now, in the state’s own words: licensed, on probation (allowed to keep operating on conditions, after problems), provisional, pending or expired. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.
- Capacity
- The most people the licence or certification lets the place care for at once: residents, children, beds or apartments, as the state counts them. It isn’t how many are there now. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.

Centers shall inform the department’s representative as soon as practicable, but not to exceed two business days, of any injury to a child that occurs while the child is under the supervision of the center and requires outside medical attention.

When staff are supervising children, they shall always ensure their care, protection, and guidance.
“On 6/2/2026, Staff A, Staff B, and Staff C did not ensure care and protection of Child A, a six-year-old, and Child B, a seven-year-old. Child A and Child B were left outside on the playground, alone and unsupervised. Staff were unaware of the children’s whereabouts until both children climbed over the fence surrounding the outdoor playground, walked along the center’s sidewalk to the front entrance of the center, and rang the center’s doorbell to return to the classroom.”
-
Children under 10 years of age always shall be within actual sight and sound supervision of staff.
“On 6/2/2026, Child A, age six, and Child B, age seven, were not maintained in sight and sound supervision by staff from approximately 8:55am until 9:00am. Child A and Child B, ages 6 and 7, were left outside unsupervised when Staff A, B, and C went inside the center and entered the child care room. The program’s classroom does not have a view of the playground.”
-
The operational responsibilities of the licensee shall include ensuring that the center’s activities, services, and facilities are maintained in compliance with these standards, the center’s own policies and procedures that are required by these standards, and the terms of the current license issued by the department.
The inspectors’ words, 118 words
“On 6/2/2026, Staff A, Staff B, and Staff C did not maintain compliance with the center’s policy and procedure for identifying where attending children are at all times.

- Virginia publishes a complaint’s allegations and findings only when its inspection found a violation and the records are linked.
- Virginia doesn’t publish staffing levels or owners for individual providers.
- A plan of correction sent late, or not at all, isn’t online: Virginia says to ask the inspector.
- Virginia’s pages show about the last five years of inspections; for older ones, Virginia says to contact the licensing inspector.
- Virginia says this information may not be accurate, up to date or complete, and shouldn’t be the only source in choosing care.
