L. Lewis, administrator assisted me with today’s visit. Your program currently operates with a five-star license, issued 9/22/2021 earning 5 points in the education component, 7points in the program standards component (meeting enhanced space and reduced ratios) and 1 quality point for the child care administrator has at least 10 years of documented child care administration work experience in a licensed programYour program was also monitored for compliance with implementing an approved curriculum as required for all four and five star licensed facilities where four-year-old children are enrolled. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was ninety-four percent as of 6/9/25. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on 6/6/25 and Antioch Church Ministries, Inc. was listed as current- active. We reviewed your facility contact information listed on the Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) website and all information is current. Contact me if you need to make any changes to your contact information, e.g., phone numbers, mailing address. The license was posted, and the restrictions were in compliance. A walk-through of the facility was completed today, all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in the outdoor learning environment and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children engaged in gross motor activities including playing basketball, riding tricycles, and playing badminton. The following violations were observed. Violation Number Comment Rule 1048 All staff did not successfully complete certification in First Aid appropriate to the age of children in care. Verification of staff completion of First Aid training from an approved training organization was not in the staff file. One staff did not have a valid First Aid training on file. .1102(c) 1049 All staff did not successfully complete certification in CPR training appropriate to the age of the children in care. Verification of staff completion of the CPR course from an approved training organization was not in the staff file. One staff did not have a valid CPR training on file. .1102(d) 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 June 26, 2025, 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. Mail or email the information to: Megan Brown, Child Care Consultant PO BOX 3187 Greenville, NC 27836 Megan.Brown@dhhs.nc.gov 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 for violations documented: CPR/First Aid - Knowing what to do in an emergency medical situation can mean the difference between life or death. Being trained in CPR and first aid can be invaluable when someone is in serious medical distress. Therefore, it is so important that all staff working directly with children have current CPR and First Aid Certification. Staff T. Vaughn had a training certificate on file that indicated the staff completed the CPR/FA training online and was eligible for skills session within 90 days. I inquired if staff had completed the skills portion of the trainings. You informed me that the staff did not complete the skills testing. We discussed that the staff member would need to complete CPR and first aid training. Submit a copy of the staff training certificate or card as part of your compliance letter. Additional Comments: We discussed off-premises activities during today’s visit, we reviewed that activities planned should be posted in the classroom or shared with parents and must include the location, purpose, time and date, person in charge, and telephone number or method for contacting the person in charge. We reviewed the following sanitation rule: Lunches, snacks, and other meals that a child brings from home to the child care center shall be labeled with the date on which the food is brought to the child care center and the name of the child to whom the food belongs at the child's home and shall be returned to the child's home or discarded at the end of each day. Lunches, snacks, and other meals containing potentially hazardous foods shall be refrigerated at 45 degrees Fahrenheit or below and stored in the child care center kitchen or approved food preparation area. Hot foods that a child brings from home to the child care center in double-walled, insulated thermos containers may be stored outside of refrigeration at the child care center with the written permission of the child's parent or guardian. Additional Comments: NCRLAP Outreach Assessment- An Outreach Assessment offered by NCRLAP is a fantastic opportunity for programs to get a head start on understanding the Environment Rating Scales (ECERS-3, ITERS-3, SACERS-U, and FCCERS-3) without the stress of it impacting their Star Rated License. Think of it as a friendly, no-pressure practice run that helps you pinpoint your program’s strengths and areas for improvement. Here’s how it works: 1. Initial Phone Call: We kick things off with a conversation to understand your program’s needs and set up the assessment(s). 2. The Assessment: Our assessors will complete assessments during the scheduled window using the new rating scales. 3. Follow-Up Call: After all assessments are completed, an assessor will call you to set up a convenient time for the follow up conversation to discuss the results with you, providing valuable feedback and actionable insights. These assessments are a great way to familiarize your staff with the rating scales, ensuring everyone knows what to expect during an official assessment. An FAQ about Outreach Assessments was provided for you during the visit. Natural Learning Initiative has created resources, often in collaboration with the Natural Learning Initiative’s interdisciplinary partners, to support technical assistance, professional development, and generally to promote the importance of the natural environment in the daily experience and growth of all children. You can explore and use these resources on their website https://naturalearning.org/resources. Raise NC Newsletter – If you are not receiving and reading the Raise NC Newsletter, you are missing out on current relevant information about early childhood issues in North Carolina, information about proposed rules, available trainings and other information that may be of interest to you and your staff. The Raise NC Newsletter is typically sent out weekly to all facility contact email addresses, but if your email is not the facility contact email address, you can go to the DCDEE Reminders: The Healthy Social Behaviors (HSB) Project supports teachers to promote healthy social-emotional development and reduce the expulsion rate among young children in licensed child care centers across North Carolina. The team is made up of specialists with early childhood education backgrounds who are passionate about empowering teachers to develop learning environments and teaching practices that promote prosocial skills in young children.
