On or before December 24, 2025, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected, and how compliance will be maintained in the future. Include the violation item number, statement of compliance, date of the visit, and license ID number in the letter. Please be aware any information submitted by you is considered legal documentation.

Repeated violations or violations left unresolved may lead to an administrative action. Technical assistance was provided on the following: 1. Keep daily records of arrival and departure times for children enrolled at the center. This can be completed by parents, teachers, or both. I suggested you discuss the importance of signing children in and out of the facility each day with parents. I also suggested you remind staff members to sign children in and out in the event that the parent fails to do so. 2. Each staff member should check the classrooms and playgrounds thoroughly each morning, before children arrive, to ensure equipment and furnishings are sturdy, stable, and free of hazards that may injure children including sharp edges, lead based or peeling paint, rust, loose nails, splinters, protrusions, and pinch and crush points. I suggested you remind teachers to check their classrooms and playgrounds daily before children arrive to ensure all equipment is safe and in good repair. I reminded you that items that are considered hazardous should be repaired or removed immediately. The broken metal handle was removed during the visit and you stated you will leave the handle off the drawer until you can replace it with a new one. 3. Any medication remaining after the course of treatment is completed, after authorization is withdrawn or after authorization or medication has expired must be returned to the child's parents. Any medication the parent fails to retrieve within 72 hours of completion of treatment, or withdrawal of authorization, should be discarded. Standing permission to administer medications for chronic illnesses may be given for up to six (6) months.. I suggested you place extra copies of the Permission to Administer Medication Form in each classroom to be completed by the parent in the event that a form expires. Additionally, I suggested you assign a staff member to each room to check all medications and Permission to Administer Medication Forms at least once a month to prevent further non-compliance regarding medication. 4. Emergency medical care information must be on file for each child. That information must include: (1) the name, address, and telephone number of the parent or other person to be contacted in case of an emergency; (2) the responsible party's choice of health care professional; (3) any chronic illness and any medication taken for that illness; and (4) any other information that has a direct bearing on ensuring safe medical treatment for the child. This emergency medical care information must be on file in the center on the child's first day of attendance and must be updated as changes occur and at least annually. I suggested you create an enrollment packet to ensure all required documentation is obtained during the enrollment process. I also suggested you create a schedule to have all families update emergency information regularly to ensure the information is updated at least annually as required. I reminded you that if a child’s enrollment is discontinued, and the child is reenrolled, new paperwork for the child’s file should be completed. 5. All children must have a medical exam on file within the first thirty (30) days of enrollment. The assessment shall be conducted by a licensed physician, the physician's authorized agent who is currently approved by the North Carolina Medical Board, or comparable certifying board in any state contiguous to North Carolina, a certified nurse practitioner, or a public health nurse. I suggested you ask parents to provide the medical exam during the enrollment process to ensure the documentation is on file in a timely manner. I also suggested you use the children’s file checklist found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab to ensure all required documentation is on file. 6. A copy of your facility’s Prevention of Shaken Baby and Abusive Head Trauma Policy must be given and explained to the parents of newly enrolled children up to five years of age on or before the first day the child receives care at the center. The center shall obtain the parent’s signature on the statement acknowledging the receipt and explanation of the policy. I suggested you create an enrollment packet and signature sheet for all required acknowledgements to have each parent complete during the enrollment process. I also suggested you use the children’s file checklist found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab to ensure all required documentation is on file.

Keep daily records of arrival and departure times for children enrolled at the center. This can be completed by parents, teachers, or both. I suggested you discuss the importance of signing children in and out of the facility each day with parents. I also suggested you remind staff members to sign children in and out in the event that the parent fails to do so. 2. Each staff member should check the classrooms and playgrounds thoroughly each morning, before children arrive, to ensure equipment and furnishings are sturdy, stable, and free of hazards that may injure children including sharp edges, lead based or peeling paint, rust, loose nails, splinters, protrusions, and pinch and crush points. I suggested you remind teachers to check their classrooms and playgrounds daily before children arrive to ensure all equipment is safe and in good repair. I reminded you that items that are considered hazardous should be repaired or removed immediately. The broken metal handle was removed during the visit and you stated you will leave the handle off the drawer until you can replace it with a new one. 3. Any medication remaining after the course of treatment is completed, after authorization is withdrawn or after authorization or medication has expired must be returned to the child's parents. Any medication the parent fails to retrieve within 72 hours of completion of treatment, or withdrawal of authorization, should be discarded. Standing permission to administer medications for chronic illnesses may be given for up to six (6) months.. I suggested you place extra copies of the Permission to Administer Medication Form in each classroom to be completed by the parent in the event that a form expires. Additionally, I suggested you assign a staff member to each room to check all medications and Permission to Administer Medication Forms at least once a month to prevent further non-compliance regarding medication. 4. Emergency medical care information must be on file for each child. That information must include: (1) the name, address, and telephone number of the parent or other person to be contacted in case of an emergency; (2) the responsible party's choice of health care professional; (3) any chronic illness and any medication taken for that illness; and (4) any other information that has a direct bearing on ensuring safe medical treatment for the child. This emergency medical care information must be on file in the center on the child's first day of attendance and must be updated as changes occur and at least annually. I suggested you create an enrollment packet to ensure all required documentation is obtained during the enrollment process. I also suggested you create a schedule to have all families update emergency information regularly to ensure the information is updated at least annually as required. I reminded you that if a child’s enrollment is discontinued, and the child is reenrolled, new paperwork for the child’s file should be completed. 5. All children must have a medical exam on file within the first thirty (30) days of enrollment. The assessment shall be conducted by a licensed physician, the physician's authorized agent who is currently approved by the North Carolina Medical Board, or comparable certifying board in any state contiguous to North Carolina, a certified nurse practitioner, or a public health nurse. I suggested you ask parents to provide the medical exam during the enrollment process to ensure the documentation is on file in a timely manner. I also suggested you use the children’s file checklist found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab to ensure all required documentation is on file. 6. A copy of your facility’s Prevention of Shaken Baby and Abusive Head Trauma Policy must be given and explained to the parents of newly enrolled children up to five years of age on or before the first day the child receives care at the center. The center shall obtain the parent’s signature on the statement acknowledging the receipt and explanation of the policy. I suggested you create an enrollment packet and signature sheet for all required acknowledgements to have each parent complete during the enrollment process. I also suggested you use the children’s file checklist found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab to ensure all required documentation is on file. Consultation: We discussed the QRIS Modernization and the Pathway to the Stars. We reviewed all three (3) pathways, as well as the Family and Community Engagement Standards. I encouraged you to visit the QRIS Modernization website to review information regarding the changes to the rated license process. Information on the three (3) pathway options, as well as links to upcoming webinars may be found on the DCDEE QRIS Modernization website: https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Provider/Licensing/Star-Rated-License/QRIS-Modernization. We discussed changes to the environmental rating scales and the implementation of the “3’s”. I encouraged you to visit the North Carolina Rated License Assessment Project website for more information regarding the 3’s, as well as webinars and training opportunities: https://ncrlap.org/Resources/pages/get-ready-for-3s/. You stated you plan to pursue a four (4) star license under the Classroom and Instructional Quality Pathway. Additionally, please ensure all staff members have a WORKS account, that all transcripts have been submitted, and all WORKS accounts are up to date. You stated you have completed the ABCMS Provider Training in Moodle; however, you have been unable to access your ABCMS Provider Portal. This information should be updated in ABCMS on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. I also provided you with the ABCMS Provider Portal Technical Assistance Guide via email during the visit.

Please send your letter to christine.rosinski@dhhs.nc.gov. You must maintain at least 75% Compliance History for each 18-month period as required by G.S. 110-90(4) (c). Prior to today's visit, your program maintained a compliance history of 85%. Please note any violations cited during future visits will negatively impact your compliance history. Repeated violations or violations left unresolved may lead to an administrative action. Technical assistance was provided on the following: 1. Keep daily records of arrival and departure times for children enrolled at the center. This can be completed by parents, teachers, or both. You use ProCare for singing children in and out of the facility. I suggested that the staff members check as children come into and leave the facility to ensure the parents have signed each child in and out. I also suggested that you remind staff members that if the parents do not sign a child in or out of the facility, the staff member should do so. 2. Each child care center must have a written plan that sets forth the steps to follow in the event of a child medical emergency. The plan must be reviewed with all staff annually and whenever the plan is revised. This plan shall give the procedures to be followed to ensure that any child who becomes ill or is injured and requires medical attention while in care at the center receives appropriate medical attention. The following information is to be included in the center's emergency medical care plan: (1) The name of the person and at least one alternate, responsible for carrying out that plan of action, ensuring that appropriate medical care is given, and determining which of the following is needed: (A) first aid given at the center for an injury or illness needing only minimal attention; and (B) calling 911 in accordance with CPR or First Aid training recommendations. (2) The name of the person and one alternate, at the center responsible for: (A) ensuring that the signed authorization described in Paragraph (d) of this Rule is taken with the ill or injured child to the medical facility; (B) accompanying the ill or injured child to the medical facility; (C) notifying a child's parents or emergency contact person about the illness or injury and where the child has been taken for treatment; (D) obtaining substitute staff, if needed, to maintain required staff/child ratio and adequate supervision of children who remain in the center; and (3) A statement giving the location of the telephone located on the premises available for use in case of emergency. A telephone located in an office in the center that is sometimes locked during the time the children are present shall not be designated for use in an emergency. I suggested you review the facility’s Emergency Medical Care Plan with all staff at the same time that you review the facility’s Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan. I also suggested you set a calendar reminder to ensure the review is conducted at least annually. 3. All staff members must review the center's Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during orientation and on an annual basis thereafter with the staff member trained in Emergency Preparedness and Response. Documentation of the review must be maintained at the center in the individual's personnel file or in a file designated for emergency preparedness and response plan documents. All substitutes and volunteers counted in ratio must be informed of the child care center's Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan and its location. Documentation of this notice must be maintained in the individual personnel files or in a file designated for emergency preparedness and response plan documents. I suggested you review your facility’s Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during a staff meeting with all staff members after you review and update the plan each year. I also suggested you set a calendar reminder to ensure the plan is reviewed with all staff members at least annually. As a result of tropical storm Helene and a declared natural disaster in Western North Carolina, technical assistance was provided to assist the child care provider in achieving compliance: 1. Each center must ensure that each new employee who is expected to have contact with children receives 16 hours of on-site orientation within the first six weeks of employment. As part of this orientation, each new employee must complete six hours of orientation within the first two weeks of employment. Please continue to use the Orientation Form found on the DCDEE website. I suggested you set calendar reminders to ensure each new employee’s orientation is completed within the required timeframes. If employment of a staff member is terminated and reapplies for employment at the facility, new documentation, including orientation, must be completed when the staff member is re-employed. An orientation form with the employee’s new employment date was in the file during the visit; however, there was no documentation or dates listed that any orientation was completed. 2. All staff members must maintain active CPR/First Aid certification. New staff members have ninety days from their date of hire to complete the training. For existing staff, I suggested you schedule classes two to four months prior to the current certifications’ expiration to ensure certification does not expire. I also suggested that if new staff members have existing certification of CPR/Firist Aid, you obtain a copy of their CPR/First Aid Card or certificate of completion of CPR/First Aid Training on or before their first day of work. I contacted the facility where the staff member previously worked by phone during the visit; however, the did not have a copy of the staff member’s CPR/First aid card/certificate. 3. Operational policies must be discussed with parents on or before the child's first day of attendance in the center. A copy of the policies must be given to the parents on or before the child's first day of attendance and the parents must be notified in writing of all changes in policy. I suggested you create an enrollment packet to ensure all required documentation is obtained and on file as required. 4. All staff members must complete all Health and Safety Trainings within the first year of hire and every five (5) years thereafter. These trainings can be found on the DCDEE Moodle Training site. I suggested you set a calendar reminder to ensure trainings for new staff members are completed in a timely manner. I also suggested you use the Health and Safety Training Record to keep track of required trainings and to ensure trainings are completed on time. This form can be found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab. I reminded you that the Medications in Child Care training is separate from the CCDF training tab. I demonstrated how to access the Health and Safety Trainings, as well as the Medication in Child Care training to you and one (1) additional staff member during the visit. Consultation: As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-8401 and someone will assist you. Hold harmless has been extended until the new QRIS system is implemented. Programs still have the option to choose to voluntarily complete the star rated license reassessment if they so desire.

You, Kathy McKinney, Assistant Director/Legal Designee, assisted with today’s visit. A checklist was used to note the requirements I monitored today. Your program currently operates with a four (4) star license issued April 12, 2023. The permit restrictions were in compliance including First Shift (daytime care), meets enhanced ratios, meets enhanced space, children under 2 ½ years old in rooms with direct exits only, building #1 capacity=100, and building #2 capacity=25.. The Secretary of State website was checked on January 14, 2025, and your business, All About Me Learning Center, LLC, was active and in good standing. If any changes to the corporation need to be made or you decide to sell your business, then you must notify me at least thirty days prior to any changes occurring. The license cannot be bought, sold, subleased, transferred to another person or location, or inherited. A walk-through of the facility was completed today, all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in the indoor learning environment. Children throughout the facility were participating in breakfast, routines, lunch, free play, group time, nap and outdoor play during the visit. The last sanitation inspection was conducted on September 6, 2024. A “superior” classification was issued with eleven (11) demerits noted on the grade card. The last fire inspection was conducted on September 9, 2024. The last fire drill was conducted on January 9, 2025. The last emergency drill was conducted on December 9, 2024.

Documentation of the review was not maintained on file. One (1) staff member, employed on April 24, 2017, one (1) staff member, employed on October 10, 2000, one (1) staff member, employed on October 13, 2014, one (1) staff member, employed on January 19, 2021, one (1) staff member, employed on January 1, 1999, one (1) staff member, employed on May 9, 2023, one (1) staff member, employed on October 18, 2023, and one (1) staff member, employed on November 6, 2023, did not review the facility's Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan within the past year. .0607(f) The violations documented must be corrected immediately. On or before January 28, 2025, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected, and how compliance will be maintained in the future. Include the violation item number, statement of compliance, date of the visit, and license ID number in the letter. Please be aware any information submitted by you is considered legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, it may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, an unannounced follow-up visit may be conducted. 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. Please send your letter to christine.rosinski@dhhs.nc.gov. You must maintain at least 75% Compliance History for each 18-month period as required by G.S. 110-90(4) (c). Prior to today's visit, your program maintained a compliance history of 85%. Please note any violations cited during future visits will negatively impact your compliance history. Repeated violations or violations left unresolved may lead to an administrative action. Technical assistance was provided on the following: 1. Keep daily records of arrival and departure times for children enrolled at the center. This can be completed by parents, teachers, or both. You use ProCare for singing children in and out of the facility. I suggested that the staff members check as children come into and leave the facility to ensure the parents have signed each child in and out. I also suggested that you remind staff members that if the parents do not sign a child in or out of the facility, the staff member should do so. 2. Each child care center must have a written plan that sets forth the steps to follow in the event of a child medical emergency. The plan must be reviewed with all staff annually and whenever the plan is revised. This plan shall give the procedures to be followed to ensure that any child who becomes ill or is injured and requires medical attention while in care at the center receives appropriate medical attention. The following information is to be included in the center's emergency medical care plan: (1) The name of the person and at least one alternate, responsible for carrying out that plan of action, ensuring that appropriate medical care is given, and determining which of the following is needed: (A) first aid given at the center for an injury or illness needing only minimal attention; and (B) calling 911 in accordance with CPR or First Aid training recommendations. (2) The name of the person and one alternate, at the center responsible for: (A) ensuring that the signed authorization described in Paragraph (d) of this Rule is taken with the ill or injured child to the medical facility; (B) accompanying the ill or injured child to the medical facility; (C) notifying a child's parents or emergency contact person about the illness or injury and where the child has been taken for treatment; (D) obtaining substitute staff, if needed, to maintain required staff/child ratio and adequate supervision of children who remain in the center; and (3) A statement giving the location of the telephone located on the premises available for use in case of emergency. A telephone located in an office in the center that is sometimes locked during the time the children are present shall not be designated for use in an emergency. I suggested you review the facility’s Emergency Medical Care Plan with all staff at the same time that you review the facility’s Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan. I also suggested you set a calendar reminder to ensure the review is conducted at least annually. 3. All staff members must review the center's Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during orientation and on an annual basis thereafter with the staff member trained in Emergency Preparedness and Response. Documentation of the review must be maintained at the center in the individual's personnel file or in a file designated for emergency preparedness and response plan documents. All substitutes and volunteers counted in ratio must be informed of the child care center's Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan and its location. Documentation of this notice must be maintained in the individual personnel files or in a file designated for emergency preparedness and response plan documents. I suggested you review your facility’s Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during a staff meeting with all staff members after you review and update the plan each year. I also suggested you set a calendar reminder to ensure the plan is reviewed with all staff members at least annually. As a result of tropical storm Helene and a declared natural disaster in Western North Carolina, technical assistance was provided to assist the child care provider in achieving compliance: 1. Each center must ensure that each new employee who is expected to have contact with children receives 16 hours of on-site orientation within the first six weeks of employment. As part of this orientation, each new employee must complete six hours of orientation within the first two weeks of employment. Please continue to use the Orientation Form found on the DCDEE website. I suggested you set calendar reminders to ensure each new employee’s orientation is completed within the required timeframes. If employment of a staff member is terminated and reapplies for employment at the facility, new documentation, including orientation, must be completed when the staff member is re-employed. An orientation form with the employee’s new employment date was in the file during the visit; however, there was no documentation or dates listed that any orientation was completed. 2. All staff members must maintain active CPR/First Aid certification. New staff members have ninety days from their date of hire to complete the training. For existing staff, I suggested you schedule classes two to four months prior to the current certifications’ expiration to ensure certification does not expire. I also suggested that if new staff members have existing certification of CPR/Firist Aid, you obtain a copy of their CPR/First Aid Card or certificate of completion of CPR/First Aid Training on or before their first day of work. I contacted the facility where the staff member previously worked by phone during the visit; however, the did not have a copy of the staff member’s CPR/First aid card/certificate. 3. Operational policies must be discussed with parents on or before the child's first day of attendance in the center. A copy of the policies must be given to the parents on or before the child's first day of attendance and the parents must be notified in writing of all changes in policy. I suggested you create an enrollment packet to ensure all required documentation is obtained and on file as required. 4. All staff members must complete all Health and Safety Trainings within the first year of hire and every five (5) years thereafter. These trainings can be found on the DCDEE Moodle Training site. I suggested you set a calendar reminder to ensure trainings for new staff members are completed in a timely manner. I also suggested you use the Health and Safety Training Record to keep track of required trainings and to ensure trainings are completed on time. This form can be found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab. I reminded you that the Medications in Child Care training is separate from the CCDF training tab. I demonstrated how to access the Health and Safety Trainings, as well as the Medication in Child Care training to you and one (1) additional staff member during the visit. Consultation: As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-8401 and someone will assist you. Hold harmless has been extended until the new QRIS system is implemented.

The permit restrictions were in compliance including First Shift (daytime care), meets enhanced ratios, meets enhanced space, children under 2 ½ years old in rooms with direct exits only, Building #1 Capacity=100, and Building #2 Capacity=25. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed, and All About Me Learning Center, LLC. was current/active. You reported no change in ownership to the facility. A walk-through of the facility was completed today, all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in the indoor learning environment. Children throughout the facility were participating in outdoor play routines, group time, lunch, nap, and free play during today’s visit. Limited monitoring of staff files was conducted for the purpose of reviewing training regarding CPR/First Aid, EPR, Playground Safety, ITS-SIDS, Special Training, and Criminal Background Checks. Two (2) new staff members were hired since the last visit. The most recent sanitation inspection for your facility was conducted on October 6, 2022. A superior sanitation classification was issued with four (4) demerits. The most recent approved fire inspection for your facility was conducted on December 5, 2022.

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 violation item number, statement of compliance, date of the visit and license ID number in the letter. I must receive your compliance statement by August 14, 2023. Please send your letter to christine.rosinski@dhhs.nc.gov. Failure to correct the violations and send the written statement by the due date may result in an unannounced follow-up visit being conducted or an administrative action may be recommended. 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. You must maintain at least 75% Compliance History for each 18-month period as required by G.S. 110-90(4) (c). Prior to today's visit, your program maintained a compliance history of 93%. Please note any violations cited during future visits will negatively impact your compliance history. Repeated violations or violations left unresolved may lead to an administrative action. Technical Assistance was provided on the following: 1. All stationary outdoor equipment more than 18 inches high must be installed over protective surfacing. Footings which anchor equipment may not be exposed. Protective surfacing must be either: (1) loose surfacing material, including wood mulch, double shredded bark mulch, uniform wood chips, fine sand, coarse sand, and pea gravel, except that pea gravel shall not be used if the area will be used by children under three years of age. Loose surfacing material shall not be installed over concrete; or (2) other materials that have been certified by the manufacturer to be shock-absorbing protective material in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard F 1292, may be used if installed, maintained, and replaced according to the manufacturer's instructions. This standard is incorporated by reference and does include subsequent editions. This standard may be found online at https://www.astm.org/Standards/F1292.htm for a cost of sixty-five dollars ($65.00). The depth of the loose surfacing material is based on the critical height of the equipment, which is defined as the maximum height that a child may sit, or stand, as follows: (1) equipment with a critical height of 5 feet or less must have at least 6 inches of loose surface materials; (2) equipment with a critical height of more than 5 feet, but less than 7 feet, must have at least 6 inches of loose surfacing material, except for sand; (3) equipment with a critical height of 7 feet to 10 feet must have at least 9 inches of any of the loose surfacing material, except for sand; and (4) when sand is used as a surfacing material for equipment with a critical height of more than 5 feet, at least 12 inches is required. Protective surfacing must cover the area under and around equipment where a child may fall, referred to as the fall zone. The area for fall zones is as follows: (1) for stationary outdoor equipment used by children under two years of age, the protective surfacing must extend beyond the external limits of the equipment for a minimum of three feet, except that protective surfacing must be required at all points of entrance and exit for any structure that has a protective barrier; and (2) for stationary outdoor equipment used by children two years of age or older, the protective surfacing must extend beyond the external limits of the equipment for six feet. I suggested you note mulch measurements on the monthly playground inspections to ensure the proper depth of surfacing is maintained. I also suggested you rake and fluff mulch on playgrounds regularly to prevent the mulch from becoming compacted and built up. 2. All hazardous items with multiple warnings and items in aerosol containers must be kept in locked storage. Items labeled “keep out of reach of children” with no other warnings can be stored five (5) feet off the ground. I suggested you have staff check their classroom thoroughly each morning to ensure all hazardous products are stored properly. All hazardous items were removed from the classroom during the visit. You stated hazardous products will not be kept in the classrooms. 3. Standing permission to administer medications for chronic illnesses may be given for up to six (6) months. A new Permission to Administer Medication for Chronic Medical Conditions form must be completed by the child’s guardian at least every six (6) months. Standing permission to administer over-the-counter, topical ointments, topical teething ointment or gel, insect repellents, lotions, creams, fluoridated toothpaste, and powders, such as sunscreen, diapering creams, baby lotion, and baby powder, may be given for up to twelve (12) months. Teachers should periodically check medications and permission forms to ensure no medication or permission forms are expired. Continue to use the Permission to Administer Medication for Chronic Medical Conditions form and the Medication Administration Permission for Over-the-Counter Topical Medications and Fluoridated Toothpaste form found on the Division’s website under the “Provider” tab. Consultation Qualifying letters are now valid for five (5) years from the date of issue. Please begin the criminal background re-check at least two (2) months prior to the expiration of the current qualifying letter.
