This is corrected. We discussed the safe sleep rules. Rule .0606 (a) specifics that safe sleep policies apply to infants 12 months or younger. This indicates that safe sleep practices must continue through 12 months. Sleep checks must continue through 12 months and do not need to be documented once the child turns 13 months old. Refer to rule section .0606 for more information. Item #847 The bug spray was added to the topical medication administration permission form by the parents during the visit today. This is corrected. Item #1898 The one (1) staff must complete the topic of “Administration of medication, with standards for parental consent”. Once the training is complete, plan to print the certificate and place in the staff member’s file. We discussed the medication topic is in a separate place from the rest of the health and safety training topics. This makes it easy to miss for new staff who are not used to navigating Moodle. Plan to have staff search “medication 2025” on their home page to find the most recent version of this training. Ensure they are logged in prior to taking the training in order to receive a certificate. Achieving Compliance: 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. I 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. The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. Send me a letter of compliance describing in detail specifically how each violation was corrected and how compliance will be maintained in the future. Include the following: • Facility name • Facility ID# • Date of visit • Violation item number • Signed statement of compliance I must receive your compliance statement by 7/16/25. Email the compliance letter on signed letterhead or in the email identifying your facility name, ID#, name and position to: Kaitlyn.Marshall@dhhs.nc.gov or you can mail to: Department of Health and Human Services Division of Child Development and Early Education Attn: Kaitlyn Marshall PO Box 19531 Asheville, NC 28805 Please call me at 828-713-8192, or email Kaitlyn.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov, if you need assistance. Please note: if mailing the letter of compliance, I must receive it by the due date listed above. You will need to mail a compliance statement three to five days prior to the due date to ensure receipt is within the designated timeline. Failure to correct the violations and send the written statement by the due date listed above may result in an unannounced follow-up visit being conducted. Based on Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 Section .2200, the Division of Child Development may take administrative action against the license and/or impose civil penalties based on the failure of the operator to correct any documented violations within the established time period. Consultation is provided as follows: We discussed you are interested in creating an approved training for staff. The link to the Division’s website regarding training approval has been shared with you in the email containing this visit summary. We discussed the process for parents to update emergency medical information for their child. You stated parents are given the opportunity to provide updated information at Open House each September. Moving forward, plan to have parents who do not have any updated information to indicate there are no changes in writing. We discussed they can state this information on the existing enrollment application or can sign a separate sheet that indicates no information has changed. I recommend having the enrollment application available during the open house so that parents can review and ensure what you have on file is correct. We discussed you are currently in the process of linking all staff to your facility in the ABCMS Portal. Moving forward, plan to indicate the date the staff were linked to your facility in the portal on line 7 of the Staff and Training Worksheet. Naptime Safety: We discussed some reminders and tips for naptime safety for children of all ages. If staff are attending to other duties during nap time while children are sleeping, plan to ensure staff are positioned in an area so that they can see the faces of all children, or ensure staff get up to routinely check on the children. It is important to see the features of children’s faces to catch any changes that may indicate an emergency such as swelling or color changes. Additionally, ensure the music/sound machines are not so loud that a child cannot be heard coughing, crying or calling out for help. Approved Space: If you elect to change and/or alter any previously approved spaces used by children as indicated on the approved indoor and outdoor floor plan, you will need to contact me within thirty (30) days prior to the change. Failure to notify a DCDEE representative may result in a violation of child care requirements. Fire Inspection: Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) states “Each operator shall schedule and obtain a fire inspection within 12 months of the center's previous fire inspection. The operator shall notify the local fire inspector when it is time for the center's annual fire inspection. The operator shall submit the original of the approved annual fire inspection report to the Division within one week of the inspection visit on the form provided by the Division.” Child Maltreatment Training: As child care providers, you are a vital part in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment! You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. WORKS: It is the center operator’s responsibility to make sure each staff person has registered for a WORKS account, submit an official transcript (if applicable) and apply for a position for evaluation. This should be completed immediately upon hiring or at the latest, by the end of the six-week orientation process. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2830 (c) If employment-related changes occur at a facility that result in the operator not complying with the standards in the Section for the star rating issued, the operator shall correct the noncompliance within 120 days. If the operator does not correct the noncompliance within 120 days, the operator shall notify the Division. Health and Safety Training: It is your responsibility to understand the health and safety requirements in child care rule .1102. If the program is out of compliance in accordance with health and safety requirements, Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG), it may affect subsidy funding. Stay updated with changes and new rule updates by visiting the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/.It is your responsibility to understand the rules and laws that are applicable your program. All rules/laws cannot be verbally reviewed during any monitoring visit. Please ask questions if you are having difficulty and would like additional technical assistance.

Please note: if mailing the letter of compliance, I must receive it by the due date listed above. You will need to mail a compliance statement three to five days prior to the due date to ensure receipt is within the designated timeline. Failure to correct the violations and send the written statement by the due date listed above may result in an unannounced follow-up visit being conducted. Based on Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 Section .2200, the Division of Child Development may take administrative action against the license and/or impose civil penalties based on the failure of the operator to correct any documented violations within the established time period. Consultation is provided as follows: We discussed you are interested in creating an approved training for staff. The link to the Division’s website regarding training approval has been shared with you in the email containing this visit summary. We discussed the process for parents to update emergency medical information for their child. You stated parents are given the opportunity to provide updated information at Open House each September. Moving forward, plan to have parents who do not have any updated information to indicate there are no changes in writing. We discussed they can state this information on the existing enrollment application or can sign a separate sheet that indicates no information has changed. I recommend having the enrollment application available during the open house so that parents can review and ensure what you have on file is correct. We discussed you are currently in the process of linking all staff to your facility in the ABCMS Portal. Moving forward, plan to indicate the date the staff were linked to your facility in the portal on line 7 of the Staff and Training Worksheet. Naptime Safety: We discussed some reminders and tips for naptime safety for children of all ages. If staff are attending to other duties during nap time while children are sleeping, plan to ensure staff are positioned in an area so that they can see the faces of all children, or ensure staff get up to routinely check on the children. It is important to see the features of children’s faces to catch any changes that may indicate an emergency such as swelling or color changes. Additionally, ensure the music/sound machines are not so loud that a child cannot be heard coughing, crying or calling out for help. Approved Space: If you elect to change and/or alter any previously approved spaces used by children as indicated on the approved indoor and outdoor floor plan, you will need to contact me within thirty (30) days prior to the change. Failure to notify a DCDEE representative may result in a violation of child care requirements. Fire Inspection: Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) states “Each operator shall schedule and obtain a fire inspection within 12 months of the center's previous fire inspection. The operator shall notify the local fire inspector when it is time for the center's annual fire inspection. The operator shall submit the original of the approved annual fire inspection report to the Division within one week of the inspection visit on the form provided by the Division.” Child Maltreatment Training: As child care providers, you are a vital part in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment! You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. WORKS: It is the center operator’s responsibility to make sure each staff person has registered for a WORKS account, submit an official transcript (if applicable) and apply for a position for evaluation. This should be completed immediately upon hiring or at the latest, by the end of the six-week orientation process. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2830 (c) If employment-related changes occur at a facility that result in the operator not complying with the standards in the Section for the star rating issued, the operator shall correct the noncompliance within 120 days. If the operator does not correct the noncompliance within 120 days, the operator shall notify the Division. Health and Safety Training: It is your responsibility to understand the health and safety requirements in child care rule .1102. If the program is out of compliance in accordance with health and safety requirements, Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG), it may affect subsidy funding. Stay updated with changes and new rule updates by visiting the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/.It is your responsibility to understand the rules and laws that are applicable your program. All rules/laws cannot be verbally reviewed during any monitoring visit. Please ask questions if you are having difficulty and would like additional technical assistance. I welcome your questions and want to be a resource for you. We appreciate all you are doing to serve the children and families of NC. If you have questions, please contact me at Kaitlyn.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov or 828713-8192, or Bonnie Mathis, Licensing Supervisor, at bonnie.mathis@dhhs.nc.gov. If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000).

According to 10A NCAC 09 .2318(8), sleep checks only need to be maintained on file for thirty (30) days. We discussed the benefits of maintaining sleep checks for longer in another location such as the office. We discussed the Supervision rule as a refresher.

All of the conditions in this Paragraph shall apply except when emergencies necessitate that adequate supervision is impossible. Documentation of emergencies shall be maintained and available for review by Division representatives upon request. As a reminder, blanket permission to play outside the fenced area must be updated every twelve (12) months.

We discussed that infant feeding plans must be posted according to the rule below: 10A NCAC 09 .0902 REQUIREMENTS FOR INFANTS (a) The parent or health care provider of each child under 15 months of age shall provide the center an individual written feeding plan for the child. This plan shall be followed at the center. This plan shall include the child's name, be signed by the parent or health care provider, and be dated when received by the center. Each infant's plan shall be modified in consultation with the child's parent or health care provider to reflect changes in the child's needs as he or she develops. The feeding instructions for each infant shall include the type and amount of milk, formula and food, the frequency of feedings and be posted for reference by the caregivers. We discussed Medical Action Plans can be signed by the physician or parent according to the rule below: 10A NCAC 09 .0801 APPLICATION FOR ENROLLMENT (b) For any child with health care needs such as allergies, asthma, or other chronic conditions that require specialized health services, a medical action plan shall be attached to the application.

According to 10A NCAC 09 .2318(8), sleep checks only need to be maintained on file for thirty (30) days. We discussed the benefits of maintaining sleep checks for longer in another location such as the office. We discussed the Supervision rule as a refresher. We specifically discussed staff positioning to maximize supervision and supervision while eating. These items were in compliance during the visit. Please see the rule below as a reminder for adequate supervision: 10A NCAC 09 .1801 SUPERVISION IN CHILD CARE CENTERS (a) Children shall be adequately supervised at all times in child care centers. Adequate supervision shall mean that: (1) staff must be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize their ability to hear or see the children at all times and render assistance; (2) staff must interact with the children while moving about the indoor or outdoor area; (3) staff must know where each child is located and be aware of the children's activities at all times; (4) staff must provide supervision appropriate to the individual age, needs, and capabilities of each child; and (5) staff must be able to see and hear children aged birth to five years old while the children are eating. All of the conditions in this Paragraph shall apply except when emergencies necessitate that adequate supervision is impossible. Documentation of emergencies shall be maintained and available for review by Division representatives upon request. As a reminder, blanket permission to play outside the fenced area must be updated every twelve (12) months. If you elect to change and/or alter any previously approved spaces used by children as indicated on the approved indoor and outdoor floor plan, you will need to contact me within thirty (30) days prior to the change. Failure to notify a DCDEE representative may result in a violation of child care requirements. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) states “Each operator shall schedule and obtain a fire inspection within 12 months of the center's previous fire inspection. The operator shall notify the local fire inspector when it is time for the center's annual fire inspection. The operator shall submit the original of the approved annual fire inspection report to the Division within one week of the inspection visit on the form provided by the Division.” As child care providers, you are a vital part in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment! You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment.

Consultation is provided as follows: We discussed that the fire alarm must be used to conduct fire drills so that children become familiar with the sound and to ensure the system is functional. Moving forward, plan to only use verbal fire drills for rare events such as limited access to the alarm system. We discussed that infant feeding plans must be posted according to the rule below: 10A NCAC 09 .0902 REQUIREMENTS FOR INFANTS (a) The parent or health care provider of each child under 15 months of age shall provide the center an individual written feeding plan for the child. This plan shall be followed at the center. This plan shall include the child's name, be signed by the parent or health care provider, and be dated when received by the center. Each infant's plan shall be modified in consultation with the child's parent or health care provider to reflect changes in the child's needs as he or she develops. The feeding instructions for each infant shall include the type and amount of milk, formula and food, the frequency of feedings and be posted for reference by the caregivers. We discussed Medical Action Plans can be signed by the physician or parent according to the rule below: 10A NCAC 09 .0801 APPLICATION FOR ENROLLMENT (b) For any child with health care needs such as allergies, asthma, or other chronic conditions that require specialized health services, a medical action plan shall be attached to the application.

We also discussed the requirements for medication administration authorization. Please note that some medical action plans do not contain all of the information needed for medication administration authorization.

We discussed the benefits of maintaining sleep checks for longer in another location such as the office. We discussed the Supervision rule as a refresher. We specifically discussed staff positioning to maximize supervision and supervision while eating. These items were in compliance during the visit. Please see the rule below as a reminder for adequate supervision: 10A NCAC 09 .1801 SUPERVISION IN CHILD CARE CENTERS (a) Children shall be adequately supervised at all times in child care centers. Adequate supervision shall mean that: (1) staff must be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize their ability to hear or see the children at all times and render assistance; (2) staff must interact with the children while moving about the indoor or outdoor area; (3) staff must know where each child is located and be aware of the children's activities at all times; (4) staff must provide supervision appropriate to the individual age, needs, and capabilities of each child; and (5) staff must be able to see and hear children aged birth to five years old while the children are eating. All of the conditions in this Paragraph shall apply except when emergencies necessitate that adequate supervision is impossible. Documentation of emergencies shall be maintained and available for review by Division representatives upon request. As a reminder, blanket permission to play outside the fenced area must be updated every twelve (12) months. If you elect to change and/or alter any previously approved spaces used by children as indicated on the approved indoor and outdoor floor plan, you will need to contact me within thirty (30) days prior to the change. Failure to notify a DCDEE representative may result in a violation of child care requirements. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) states “Each operator shall schedule and obtain a fire inspection within 12 months of the center's previous fire inspection. The operator shall notify the local fire inspector when it is time for the center's annual fire inspection. The operator shall submit the original of the approved annual fire inspection report to the Division within one week of the inspection visit on the form provided by the Division.” As child care providers, you are a vital part in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment! You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. It is your responsibility to understand the health and safety requirements in child care rule .1102. If the program is out of compliance in accordance with health and safety requirements, Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG), it may affect subsidy funding. Stay updated with changes and new rule updates by visiting the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/.It is your responsibility to understand the rules and laws that are applicable your program. All rules/laws cannot be verbally reviewed during any monitoring visit. Please ask questions if you are having difficulty and would like additional technical assistance.

Consultation is provided as follows: We discussed that the fire alarm must be used to conduct fire drills so that children become familiar with the sound and to ensure the system is functional. Moving forward, plan to only use verbal fire drills for rare events such as limited access to the alarm system. We discussed that infant feeding plans must be posted according to the rule below: 10A NCAC 09 .0902 REQUIREMENTS FOR INFANTS (a) The parent or health care provider of each child under 15 months of age shall provide the center an individual written feeding plan for the child. This plan shall be followed at the center. This plan shall include the child's name, be signed by the parent or health care provider, and be dated when received by the center. Each infant's plan shall be modified in consultation with the child's parent or health care provider to reflect changes in the child's needs as he or she develops. The feeding instructions for each infant shall include the type and amount of milk, formula and food, the frequency of feedings and be posted for reference by the caregivers. We discussed Medical Action Plans can be signed by the physician or parent according to the rule below: 10A NCAC 09 .0801 APPLICATION FOR ENROLLMENT (b) For any child with health care needs such as allergies, asthma, or other chronic conditions that require specialized health services, a medical action plan shall be attached to the application. The medical action plan shall be completed by the child's parent or a health care professional and may include the following: (1) a list of the child's diagnosis or diagnoses including dietary, environmental, and activity considerations that are applicable; (2) contact information for the child's health care professional(s); (3) medications to be administered on a scheduled basis; and (4) medications to be administered on an emergency basis with symptoms, and instructions. We also discussed the requirements for medication administration authorization. Please note that some medical action plans do not contain all of the information needed for medication administration authorization. If this is the case, a separate form for medication administration authorization will be needed. Plan to review all medical action plans to ensure the following requirements are met: 10A NCAC 09 .0803 ADMINISTERING MEDICATION IN CHILD CARE CENTERS (6) A parent may give a caregiver standing authorization for up to six months to administer prescription or over-the-counter medication to a child, when needed, for chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, and for allergic reactions. The authorization shall be in writing and shall contain: (a) the child's name; (b) the subject medical conditions or allergic reactions; (c) the names of the authorized over-the-counter medications; (d) the criteria for the administration of the medication; (e) the amount and frequency of the dosages; (f) the manner in which the medication shall be administered; (g) the signature of the parent; (h) the date the authorization was signed by the parent; and (i) the length of time the authorization is valid, if less than six months. According to 10A NCAC 09 .2318(8), sleep checks only need to be maintained on file for thirty (30) days. We discussed the benefits of maintaining sleep checks for longer in another location such as the office. We discussed the Supervision rule as a refresher. We specifically discussed staff positioning to maximize supervision and supervision while eating. These items were in compliance during the visit. Please see the rule below as a reminder for adequate supervision: 10A NCAC 09 .1801 SUPERVISION IN CHILD CARE CENTERS (a) Children shall be adequately supervised at all times in child care centers. Adequate supervision shall mean that: (1) staff must be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize their ability to hear or see the children at all times and render assistance; (2) staff must interact with the children while moving about the indoor or outdoor area; (3) staff must know where each child is located and be aware of the children's activities at all times; (4) staff must provide supervision appropriate to the individual age, needs, and capabilities of each child; and (5) staff must be able to see and hear children aged birth to five years old while the children are eating. All of the conditions in this Paragraph shall apply except when emergencies necessitate that adequate supervision is impossible. Documentation of emergencies shall be maintained and available for review by Division representatives upon request. As a reminder, blanket permission to play outside the fenced area must be updated every twelve (12) months. If you elect to change and/or alter any previously approved spaces used by children as indicated on the approved indoor and outdoor floor plan, you will need to contact me within thirty (30) days prior to the change. Failure to notify a DCDEE representative may result in a violation of child care requirements. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) states “Each operator shall schedule and obtain a fire inspection within 12 months of the center's previous fire inspection. The operator shall notify the local fire inspector when it is time for the center's annual fire inspection. The operator shall submit the original of the approved annual fire inspection report to the Division within one week of the inspection visit on the form provided by the Division.” As child care providers, you are a vital part in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment! You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment.
