Name of Operation: Jessie's Little Blessings Facility ID: 63000562 Consultant: TURKESHIA MCCORMICK Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 2/26/2026 Number Present: 19 Completed Date: 2/26/2026 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 175 Time In: 09:15 AM Time Out: 12:10 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Annual Comp Full Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s visit was to monitor your program for compliance with applicable child care requirements for a routine unannounced visit. Jessie Kelley, administrator/owner, assisted me with the visit. The facility operated with a Three Star License, issued on May 22, 2025, earning four points in education, two points in program standards, and a quality point for complying with the education option. Restrictions include first and second shift, meets enhanced space, and children under 2 ½ years old in classrooms with direct exits only. The program’s compliance history is ninety-five percent (95%) as was reviewed with the administrator during the visit. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on February 26, 2026, and Jessielittleblessingsdaycare, LLC. was listed as current-active. The last sanitation inspection was conducted on December 18, 2025, earning superior rating. The last fire inspection was conducted on May 6, 2025. The license was posted, and the restriction was in compliance. A walk-through of the facility was completed today, all indoor areas were monitored. I was not able to monitor the outdoor areas due to active precipitation. I observed children in the indoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were participating in transitions from nap to snack and personal care routines, free play in activity areas and afternoon departures. Infants were engaged in tummy time, napping, feeding, free play and diapering routines. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. Lunch today consisted of chicken nuggets, corn, potatoes, sliced bread and milk. The following violations were observed during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 852 Incident reports were not completed each time a child was injured, it did not include all the information required in rule, it was not signed by the parent and/or it was not maintained in the child's file. Incident reports on file dated 11/19/2025 and 11/25/2025 did not have parent or staff signatures. .0802 (e) 1034 All staff, including the director, did not have an annual health questionnaire on file following the initial medical statement. Three employees had health questionnaires on file that expired on 7/18/2025. .0701(a) 1035 Child care providers, including the director, uncompensated providers, substitute providers, and volunteers did not have the required Emergency Information Form on file on or before the first day of work, which included all the required information and/or the information on the form was not updated as changes occur and at least annually. Three employees had Emergency Information forms on file that expired on 7/18/2025. .0701(a) 1044 Prior to the expiration date of the qualification letter, the child care provider did not complete and submit required forms to complete a criminal background check (a qualification letter is valid for a maximum of five years for the date of issuance). J. Gilchrist had a qualifying letter on file that expired on 11/20/2025 and a new one was not received until 2/26/2026. G.S. 110-90.2(b) & .2703(n)&(o) 1320 Children's records that include an application for enrollment, medical and immunization records, and permission to seek emergency medical care was not on file for each child. D. Haskell who enrolled on 9/2/2025 did not have a medical record on file. GS 110-91(1);.0302(d)(2); .0304(g) 1805 A child care operator did not notify the Division of any new child care providers, as defined in G.S. 110-90.2(a)(2), who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. As of 2/26/2026, the facility is not listed in the ABCMS portal. G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) Child Care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before March 15, 2026 must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit will be conducted. Mail or email the information to: Turkeshia McCormick, Child Care Consultant, NC DCDEE Attn: Turkeshia McCormick, 2200 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-2201, or if you email the compliance letter, it must be sent from the email address registered with the DCDEE (this serves as your signature) and the following information must be included: name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance was also offered on maintaining staff files. To ensure that required documentation is completed by the required deadlines, consider creating a system where the files are checked periodically or when new staff are hired, they are checked weekly for the first six (6) weeks and afterwards monthly until they have completed their first ninety (90) days of employment. Technical Assistance was also offered on creating a system for staff that allows them to periodically check required documentation to ensure that the dates are valid and that all necessary information is included as well as ensuring that compliance is maintained throughout the facility. Checking current classroom enrollment prior to enrolling new families can help ensure that staff/child ratio will be maintained. It also lessons the burden on staff and families as the facility maintains compliance and families are not left with the task of finding alternative child care during times when staff/child ratio cannot be met. Technical assistance was also offered on completing the moodle training on the ABCMS portal. Once you have completed that training, you must follow the steps to ensure that your facility and yourself are listed in the ABCMS portal. You can access the moodle page at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/UserLogin. If you need further assistance with the ABCMS portal, contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401. During this visit we discussed the QRIS Modernization Pathways to the Stars. I discussed option #2 Program Assessment for Child Care Centers and Centers Located in a Residence (CLIAR) with Mrs. Kelley. This pathway includes the following: • Enhanced Ratio(required) and/or Enhanced Space (optional) • 50% of all Lead Teachers and 50% other educators meet 5 Star Education Standards • Family and Community Engagement Foundational Practices AND 3 additional choices • CQI Plan for Facility and Individuals • Approved curriculum for all ages served • Child Observations and assessments • Coaching/training options for administrators and lead teachers. • NCRLAP Self Study I also left copies of the Continuous Quality Improvement and Professional Development Plan, work experience form, Pathway #2 -Classroom and Instructional Quality for Child Care Centers and Centers Located in a Residence (keep those copies and continue working on completing them prior to your next visit.) You stated that you will review the approved curricula and assessment tools at a later date and decide if you are going to continue using your current curriculum or go with another option. Mrs. Kelley stated that they have already begun reviewing on the Facility CQI plan for both the center and the staff. She will also provide her staff with the link for the QRIS modernization page as well as NCRLAP so that they will familiarize themselves with the new process. The following links were also shared: The following links were also shared: https://ncrlap.org/ https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Provider/Licensing/Star-Rated-License/Qris-Modernization https://ncrap.org/Resources/ I advised Mrs. Kelley to contact me if she decided to pursue either of the Pathway options before her next rated license assessment is due. As a reminder J. MCKayhan will need to submit their most recent transcripts to WORKS to be evaluated.

Due to Hold Harmless the facility still meets four points in the education component, two points in the program component and one quality point for complying with the programmatic option. The facility’s last sanitation inspection was conducted on February 18, 2025, and the last fire inspection was conducted on December 17, 2024. I reviewed the North Carolina Secretary of State’s website and Jessielittleblessingsdaycare LLC. was listed as current-active. I monitored all indoor spaces, the outdoor learning environments, all staff six (6) files and three (3) children’s files, and other required program records were monitored. I observed the children in the spaces used by the toddlers and preschoolers during naptime, transitioning from nap to snack and personal care routines such as handwashing and toileting. I observed the children in the space used by the infants during naptime, tummy time, teacher directed activities and diapering and handwashing. The required posted information and materials were present in each classroom. The children were adequately supervised. Afternoon snack was observed and consisted of cinnamon rolls and milk. The following violations were cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 1065 Child care providers scheduled to work in the infant room, did not complete ITS-SIDS training within two months of employment or did not complete the training every three years.

Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before April 23, 2025, (two extra days were given due to the facility being closed two days for the upcoming Holiday) I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected.

If you email the compliance letter, it must be sent from the email address registered with the DCDEE (this serves as your signature) and the following information must be included: name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance was offered on the importance of following the center’s safe sleep policy. The purpose of a safe sleep policy is to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or SIDS and other sleep related accidents. Infants under the age of one must be visually checked every fifteen (15) minutes and it must be documented properly on the individual sleep charts. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the U.S. DHHS recommends that infants be given their own sleep space that is blanket free of soft bedding, pillows, bumper pads and toys. The American Association Pediatrics or AAP recommends that devices such as strollers, swings, infant carrier, car seats and inclined seats not be used for regular sleep routines. The safe sleep policy states that infants be placed in their cribs on their back to sleep. For children who can rollover on their own, I recommend placing a statement over their cribs stating that they can do so. Technical assistance was also offered on maintaining staff files. To ensure that the required documentation is completed by the required deadlines, consider creating a system where the files are checked periodically or when new staff are hired, they are checked weekly for the first six (6) weeks and afterwards monthly until they have completed their first ninety (90) days of employment. As a reminder, C. Durham will need to complete orientation on adequate supervision and prevention of infectious diseases by the close of business today. Be sure to document it's completion on the orientation sheet and place in their file. C. Route will need to complete CPR/First Aid training and ITS-SIDS trainings.
