CONSULTATION: Rated License Assessment: You have indicated you will choose Pathway one and plan to request assessment in September. The NCRLAP website, https://ncrlap.org, has trainings geared towards the new ECERS3 and ITERS3 assessment scales. These will introduce you to the updated assessment scale and provide tips for completing the new scale. I can complete an announced technical assistance visit in August/September to walk-through the classrooms and give you the Request and Application forms for the assessments. All lead teachers must complete the self-study review and use the forms on the NCRLAP website. This study must cover a three-month period of time. We discussed the NCLAP website today. I will view all the forms for each classroom. The center administrator will complete the self-study verification form. Self-studies should be started by June 1, 2026 to ensure they are completed prior to the request in September. We discussed reaching out to NCRLAP today to complete an outreach assessment. This is great practice for staff who may not be experienced with assessments. Staff whose classrooms do not complete the outreach assessment will choose a Thinking More form for their self-study. Classrooms chosen will use the Outreach Assessment report for their self-study. All staff must be registered into the WORKS system and have all education submitted and evaluated for their positions. You can email me the staff assigned to each classroom, their birthdays, and years of experience. I will evaluate these and follow up with you to discuss the star level the education is at and any options for increasing stars if that is needed. Staff will use their NCID to login to WORKS on the DCDEE website ncchildcare.ncdhhs.nc.gov. They will click Provider tab, DCDEE WORKS, then login. If they are not registered, they will be prompted to do so. They must confirm their email within 48 hours to complete the registration, or they must contact technical support. Once registered, they will open the positions tab and click apply/upload. All positions the staff member wants education evaluated form must be checked. Then they will follow the directions to electronically submit their transcripts. They should check back into the system every few days to check for their status letter. I must have a works letter from all staff used for the rated license purposes. We reviewed the family and community engagement standards today. For five stars, you will choose four additional items from the three categories. We reviewed the facility and staff continuous quality improvement plans today. Items 1-4 should be completed at the time of the completion of the rated license. I will monitor for recorded progress on the goals during monitoring visits. If goals are completed staff should begin a new form with new goals. They will always be working on goals. This also applies to the CQI for the center. Technical Assistance: The health and safety trainings for H. Olmedo are due by 4/14/27 and for T. Trammell by 4/28/27. Trainings older than twelve months on date of hire must be retaken. The criminal background letter for S. Doss will expire 6/9/26. CPR/First Aid for T. Skeen is due by 7/7/27, for T/. Marsden by 6/11/26, for K. Baxter by 9/20/26, and for T. Trammell by 7/28/26. We discussed moving the NCPK classroom to space 3. This would allow more space for the activity areas. Casey Sherman’s last day was 4/6/26. A new level 3 administrator must be in place by 6/30/26. The ABCMS roster for K. Baxter at the other Childcare Network location must be listed as separated and then she will need to create an application and add to your roster. You will need to transfer the NCID on the EPR plan to the new administrator. You may contact Amia Eaton at 919-814-6365 for help with this. Upcoming training opportunities can be found on the CCSA website https://www.childcareservices.org/programs/ccrr/professional-development/ Documents and forms for DCDEE licensure can be found at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Provider/Provider-Documents-and-Forms.

Upon arrival I met Casey Sherman, center director, and I explained the purpose of my visit. I conducted an assisted walkthrough of the center. Allegation: There are allegations of violations of childcare requirements. I spoke Ms. Sherman regarding the center procedures for playing outside during the hot summer months. She stated each morning, she checks the weather for the feel-like temperatures and compares that to the child weather watch chart to determine the time spent outside. She stated they adjust schedules to allow children to play outside in the mornings when temperatures do not allow it in the afternoons. We discussed the quantity of gross motor activities that must be available both inside and outside for children to have access to. Conclusion: Based upon the information received during the interviews and observations, a violation of childcare requirements was unsubstantiated. During the visit today, the following violation(s) were documented and technical assistance regarding maintaining compliance was offered. Violation Number Comment Rule 716 All stationary equipment, more than 18 inches high, was not installed over protective surfacing. A concrete footing at the base of a pole on the stationary play structure on the playground for school-age children was exposed. .0605(j) 856 The indoor and/or outdoor premises was not checked once a day, prior to initial use, ensuring debris, and broken equipment was removed and disposed of. The corner of the white PVC pipe used as edging on the playground for school-age children was broken exposing sharp edges. 10A NCAC 09 .0604(p) You were provided an opportunity to ask questions regarding interpretation and implementation of all childcare requirements. Each violation cited was discussed with Ms. Sherman. The violation(s) documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance must be received on or before 8/18/25. The letter must include the following: *Facility Name and ID number *List of each violation number *How each violation was corrected All items must be included, or the corrective action letter will be returned for corrections. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: The mulch under the stationary structure on the playground for school-age children is springy yet very compacted due to all the recent rains. The mulch needs to be turned/tilled to make it less compacted. We discussed the different types of gross motor activities to have available each day. Five different types of activities must be made available both outside and inside if weather does not allow outside play. If you have and questions or concerns, please call me at 336-816-4826, or email lori.rierson@dhhs.nc.gov.

The Director was present and assisted me during the visit. Children were observed participating in free play in their classrooms and outside. The last sanitation inspection was completed May 2, 2024 with a “Approved” classification. The last fire inspection was conducted March 14, 2024. I monitored three new staff files. During today’s visit, a partial assessment of applicable child care requirements was conducted. I observed the following violations. Violation Number Comment Rule 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children.A toddler was observed putting a piece of much in her mouth. On the playground for school age child, the slide was hot to the touch from the direct sunlight. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(a) The violation(s) must be corrected immediately, and a letter must be sent to me no later than June 19, 2024 stating how each item was corrected and how you plan to maintain compliance with the requirement. Please e-mail the letter to me at mona.ndiaye@dhhs.nc.gov . You were provided an opportunity to ask questions regarding interpretation and implementation of all child care requirements. Child care licensing rules and regulations are established to ensure a safe and healthy environment for children in care. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all of the licensing requirements that apply to your program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all of the applicable laws and rules at all times. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules. Both are available on the DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ , on the home page under the ‘Services’ tab. Technical Assistance During today’s visit, the toddlers were observed playing freely on the designated playground. Three of the toddlers were observed sitting on the ground in a dirt/mulched area and one toddler was observed putting a piece of much in her mouth. The mulch was removed from the child’s hand. The play area has grass and a mulched area, there is no equipment at this moment that requires mulch. I discussed with the Director about possibly added more grass or making a smaller mulched area if a slide or other similar equipment is added. During the summer monitor the slide on the playground for school age child, the slide was hot to the touch during today’s visit. A shade cover may need to be added if this continues to be a safety hazard. I reviewed your summer field trip calendars, be mindful that the following information must be on your calendar for each trip and posted where parents can view it. The facility shall develop a plan of activities which is posted in a place in the home base and given to the parents. The plan shall include the location, purpose, time and date, person in charge, and telephone number or method for contacting the person in charge. Following today’s visit, your center will receive a new permit once your corrective action letter is received. The rated license points will be based upon the previous license issued prior to the change of ownership. The facility will receive a five-star license earned with the following points: Education Standards – 6 points Program Standards – 6 points Quality Point – 1 point for programmatic options met Resources The Division of Child Development has announced their plan to resume the Star Rated License process. Facilities have been divided into 3 Cohorts. Each cohort will have a preparation year and an assessment year. Your facility is in Cohort 1. Your preparation year began July 1, 2023 and will end on June 30, 2024. Your assessment year begins July 1, 2024. The preparation year is an opportunity to focus on your Star Rated License and consider strategies to help maintain or increase your star rating. It could be helpful to consider areas where refresher information might be helpful. These ideas can then be incorporated into ongoing training and/or professional development plans as you prepare for your assessment year when the regular star rated license reassessment process is required. Some preparation year ideas to consider are: 1. Review your previous ECERS-R and ITERS-R assessments. 2. Look for assessment related resources at www.ncrlap.org 3. Seek out webinars and/or in-person trainings related to topics of interest. 4. Start a self-study process to become more familiar with the ERS or priority areas relevant to your program 5. Schedule staff meetings to discuss topics related to the Environment Rating Scales 6. Support and encourage staff during a self-study process. Connect them with resources at ncrlap.org 7.
