A computerized generated report of today’s visit was completed, reviewed with you, and signed by me, Georgia Lee Marshall, Child Care Consultant and also signed by Lorrie Looper, administrator, during the visit. The computerized generated report of today’s visit was completed and left on site. It is also available electronically upon request. Ms. Looper was available to assist me and answer questions during my visit. The indoor and outdoor areas were monitored today, including (but not limited to) supervision, staff/child ratios, permit restrictions, discipline, nutrition and routine caregiving activities. An annual compliance monitoring checklist for child care centers was used to note the requirements monitored and is attached to the computerized generated visit summary for your records. The center’s compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was seventy-nine (79%) percentage as of 6/2/26. The North Carolina Secretary of State website was viewed prior to today’s visit and the Non-Profit Corporation, Greenway Baptist Church of Boone, N.C., is current/active as 6/2/26. Permit type – Five-star license, issued 1/15/19. Special Services/Restrictions – Daytime care only, meets enhances ratios. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on 6/11/25.

Children were playing on the climbers, digging in the dirt and sand, throwing balls and participating in pretend play. Inside the infants were napping, participating in floor play and getting their diapers changed. As I made my way down the hall, some of the children were out of the classroom and out on the playground. I checked diaper cream and sunscreens. Children began coming inside from outside, washing hands and having story time, songs and fingerplays until lunch arrived. After children ate lunch, they transitioned to their mats for rest time, then cleaned up from nap and prepared for snack, free play and outdoor play and departure. Lunch today consisted of egg and vegetable casserole, which contained broccoli, cheese, eggs and tortillas. They also had pineapples and milk. I monitored ten (10) children’s files today, however, they have approximately twenty-nine (29) staff with twelve (12) new staff. Due to the number of staff and the number of new staff, I will need to make a return visit to monitor the staff files.

Ms. Taylor has approached the board about the need for more mulch and the repair to the step that is damaged. She stated that the church’s property committee is working on these issues. After discussing this issue further, Ms. Taylor stated that the climbers would be roped off today (during my visit) and children would not be allowed to play on these climbers until the mulch is in place at the proper depth and the step has been repaired. Ms. Taylor gave me a statement about this in writing today. I suggested that you contact the manufacture of the climber that has the damaged step to see what can be done to fix this issue. Ms. Taylor has looked at Lowes Hardware for ways to fix the step with no luck. The company may be able to give suggestions or possibly it is under a warranty and the company may complete the repair. All other violations have been corrected as stated in the correction letter and observed as corrected during today’s visit.

New and terminated staff notification requirement: 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. 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 (Automated Background Check Management System) 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) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. Achieving Compliance: A follow-up visit will be conducted to verify compliance of sixteen (16) or more violations. Based on today’s findings, this child care facility received sixteen (16) or more violations. This may warrant an administrative action as identified by Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2201. Additional monitoring visits may be required. 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 June 25, 2025. Email the compliance letter on signed letterhead or in the email identifying your facility name, ID#, name and position to: lee.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov or you can mail to: Department of Health and Human Services Division of Child Development and Early Education Attn: Georgia Lee Marshall P.O. Box 253 Zionville, NC 28698 Please call me at 828-434-0236, or email lee.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: Today we discussed: • Rugs can be tripping hazards if they slide around and move. • Shelving needs to be refinished and cleaned. A new coat of varnish would be great. • Walls are in need of painting. • The bolts attaching the barrier around the mulch need to be hammered down. • When replacing the mulch, be sure to cover exposed footings. • We discussed that the caterpillar tunnel on the infant/toddler playground doesn’t need to be in the mulch box unless they are climbing on it. If they are climbing on it, the mulch needs to extend 6 feet around. Bonnie Mathis, Licensing Supervisor and I, have discussed the need to update the facility’s information to match the articles of corporations. An email was submitted to Pastor Darrell Hobbs on March 26, 2025, providing the specific details and request to update Regulatory paperwork. After reviewing the articles of incorporation in the Secretary of State website it was determined there is a change of the registered agent. The corporation information does not match the Regulatory Database which is a public storage of facility information. The application paperwork continues to be the only paperwork available to capture all the current and relevant facility owner information. A copy of the applicable application paperwork was available. The Regulatory Database should match the Secretary of State articles of corporation, and to reflect the accurate owner information for Greenway Baptist Church, Inc., which is the owner operator of Greenway Baptist Child Development Center. Please update this information and submit with your letter of compliance. Remind staff they should be up and moving about the room when children are engaged in activities, to include naptime. In the Rainbow classroom both staff were sitting in a chair and not engaged with the children to assist with learning, exploration and expansion of play. Additionally, in this classroom there were only books available in the language area. Additional items such as puppets, stuffed animals, flannel board, etc. should be added to enhance language development. Additional softness is also needed to make the area cozy and inviting for the children. The facility needs a thorough cleaning. Please remind staff they should be wiping down and cleaning all floors, shelves, equipment/materials regularly. The following sanitation requirement is as follows: 15A NCAC 18A .2822 TOYS, EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE (a) Toys, equipment, and furniture provided by a child care center shall be kept clean and in good repair. In rooms designated for children who are not toilet trained, toys and other mouth-contact surfaces that are used by children shall be cleaned and then sanitized after each use and when visibly dirty. Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces shall be cleaned and sanitized as follows: (1) the items shall be scrubbed in warm, soapy water, using a brush to reach into any crevices; (2) the items shall be rinsed in clean water; (3) the items shall be submerged in a sanitizing solution for at least two minutes or in accordance with the instructions on the label of the sanitizing solution; and (4) the items shall be air dried. (b) Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces that are not designed to be submerged in liquid shall be washed and rinsed in place, sprayed with a sanitizing solution, and allowed to air dry. Hard plastic toys may be washed and rinsed in a dishwasher and cloth toys may be laundered and mechanically dried without requiring sanitizing. 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 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. 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.

New and terminated staff notification requirement: 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. 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 (Automated Background Check Management System) 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) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. Achieving Compliance: A follow-up visit will be conducted to verify compliance of sixteen (16) or more violations. Based on today’s findings, this child care facility received sixteen (16) or more violations. This may warrant an administrative action as identified by Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2201. Additional monitoring visits may be required. 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 June 25, 2025. Email the compliance letter on signed letterhead or in the email identifying your facility name, ID#, name and position to: lee.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov or you can mail to: Department of Health and Human Services Division of Child Development and Early Education Attn: Georgia Lee Marshall P.O. Box 253 Zionville, NC 28698 Please call me at 828-434-0236, or email lee.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: Today we discussed: • Rugs can be tripping hazards if they slide around and move. • Shelving needs to be refinished and cleaned. A new coat of varnish would be great. • Walls are in need of painting. • The bolts attaching the barrier around the mulch need to be hammered down. • When replacing the mulch, be sure to cover exposed footings. • We discussed that the caterpillar tunnel on the infant/toddler playground doesn’t need to be in the mulch box unless they are climbing on it. If they are climbing on it, the mulch needs to extend 6 feet around. Bonnie Mathis, Licensing Supervisor and I, have discussed the need to update the facility’s information to match the articles of corporations. An email was submitted to Pastor Darrell Hobbs on March 26, 2025, providing the specific details and request to update Regulatory paperwork. After reviewing the articles of incorporation in the Secretary of State website it was determined there is a change of the registered agent. The corporation information does not match the Regulatory Database which is a public storage of facility information. The application paperwork continues to be the only paperwork available to capture all the current and relevant facility owner information. A copy of the applicable application paperwork was available. The Regulatory Database should match the Secretary of State articles of corporation, and to reflect the accurate owner information for Greenway Baptist Church, Inc., which is the owner operator of Greenway Baptist Child Development Center. Please update this information and submit with your letter of compliance. Remind staff they should be up and moving about the room when children are engaged in activities, to include naptime. In the Rainbow classroom both staff were sitting in a chair and not engaged with the children to assist with learning, exploration and expansion of play. Additionally, in this classroom there were only books available in the language area. Additional items such as puppets, stuffed animals, flannel board, etc. should be added to enhance language development. Additional softness is also needed to make the area cozy and inviting for the children. The facility needs a thorough cleaning. Please remind staff they should be wiping down and cleaning all floors, shelves, equipment/materials regularly. The following sanitation requirement is as follows: 15A NCAC 18A .2822 TOYS, EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE (a) Toys, equipment, and furniture provided by a child care center shall be kept clean and in good repair. In rooms designated for children who are not toilet trained, toys and other mouth-contact surfaces that are used by children shall be cleaned and then sanitized after each use and when visibly dirty. Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces shall be cleaned and sanitized as follows: (1) the items shall be scrubbed in warm, soapy water, using a brush to reach into any crevices; (2) the items shall be rinsed in clean water; (3) the items shall be submerged in a sanitizing solution for at least two minutes or in accordance with the instructions on the label of the sanitizing solution; and (4) the items shall be air dried. (b) Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces that are not designed to be submerged in liquid shall be washed and rinsed in place, sprayed with a sanitizing solution, and allowed to air dry. Hard plastic toys may be washed and rinsed in a dishwasher and cloth toys may be laundered and mechanically dried without requiring sanitizing. 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 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. 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 lee.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov or 828.434.0236, 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). All information in this report has been reviewed with me today.I understand that it is my responsibility to maintaincompliance with applicable NC Child Care Requirements at all times

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 (Automated Background Check Management System) 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) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. Achieving Compliance: A follow-up visit will be conducted to verify compliance of sixteen (16) or more violations. Based on today’s findings, this child care facility received sixteen (16) or more violations. This may warrant an administrative action as identified by Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2201. Additional monitoring visits may be required. 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 June 25, 2025. Email the compliance letter on signed letterhead or in the email identifying your facility name, ID#, name and position to: lee.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov or you can mail to: Department of Health and Human Services Division of Child Development and Early Education Attn: Georgia Lee Marshall P.O. Box 253 Zionville, NC 28698 Please call me at 828-434-0236, or email lee.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: Today we discussed: • Rugs can be tripping hazards if they slide around and move. • Shelving needs to be refinished and cleaned. A new coat of varnish would be great. • Walls are in need of painting. • The bolts attaching the barrier around the mulch need to be hammered down. • When replacing the mulch, be sure to cover exposed footings. • We discussed that the caterpillar tunnel on the infant/toddler playground doesn’t need to be in the mulch box unless they are climbing on it. If they are climbing on it, the mulch needs to extend 6 feet around. Bonnie Mathis, Licensing Supervisor and I, have discussed the need to update the facility’s information to match the articles of corporations. An email was submitted to Pastor Darrell Hobbs on March 26, 2025, providing the specific details and request to update Regulatory paperwork. After reviewing the articles of incorporation in the Secretary of State website it was determined there is a change of the registered agent. The corporation information does not match the Regulatory Database which is a public storage of facility information. The application paperwork continues to be the only paperwork available to capture all the current and relevant facility owner information. A copy of the applicable application paperwork was available. The Regulatory Database should match the Secretary of State articles of corporation, and to reflect the accurate owner information for Greenway Baptist Church, Inc., which is the owner operator of Greenway Baptist Child Development Center. Please update this information and submit with your letter of compliance. Remind staff they should be up and moving about the room when children are engaged in activities, to include naptime. In the Rainbow classroom both staff were sitting in a chair and not engaged with the children to assist with learning, exploration and expansion of play. Additionally, in this classroom there were only books available in the language area. Additional items such as puppets, stuffed animals, flannel board, etc. should be added to enhance language development. Additional softness is also needed to make the area cozy and inviting for the children. The facility needs a thorough cleaning. Please remind staff they should be wiping down and cleaning all floors, shelves, equipment/materials regularly. The following sanitation requirement is as follows: 15A NCAC 18A .2822 TOYS, EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE (a) Toys, equipment, and furniture provided by a child care center shall be kept clean and in good repair. In rooms designated for children who are not toilet trained, toys and other mouth-contact surfaces that are used by children shall be cleaned and then sanitized after each use and when visibly dirty. Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces shall be cleaned and sanitized as follows: (1) the items shall be scrubbed in warm, soapy water, using a brush to reach into any crevices; (2) the items shall be rinsed in clean water; (3) the items shall be submerged in a sanitizing solution for at least two minutes or in accordance with the instructions on the label of the sanitizing solution; and (4) the items shall be air dried. (b) Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces that are not designed to be submerged in liquid shall be washed and rinsed in place, sprayed with a sanitizing solution, and allowed to air dry. Hard plastic toys may be washed and rinsed in a dishwasher and cloth toys may be laundered and mechanically dried without requiring sanitizing. 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 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. 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 lee.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov or 828.434.0236, 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).

New and terminated staff notification requirement: 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. 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 (Automated Background Check Management System) 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) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. Achieving Compliance: A follow-up visit will be conducted to verify compliance of sixteen (16) or more violations. Based on today’s findings, this child care facility received sixteen (16) or more violations. This may warrant an administrative action as identified by Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2201. Additional monitoring visits may be required. 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 June 25, 2025. Email the compliance letter on signed letterhead or in the email identifying your facility name, ID#, name and position to: lee.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov or you can mail to: Department of Health and Human Services Division of Child Development and Early Education Attn: Georgia Lee Marshall P.O. Box 253 Zionville, NC 28698 Please call me at 828-434-0236, or email lee.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: Today we discussed: • Rugs can be tripping hazards if they slide around and move. • Shelving needs to be refinished and cleaned. A new coat of varnish would be great. • Walls are in need of painting. • The bolts attaching the barrier around the mulch need to be hammered down. • When replacing the mulch, be sure to cover exposed footings. • We discussed that the caterpillar tunnel on the infant/toddler playground doesn’t need to be in the mulch box unless they are climbing on it. If they are climbing on it, the mulch needs to extend 6 feet around. Bonnie Mathis, Licensing Supervisor and I, have discussed the need to update the facility’s information to match the articles of corporations. An email was submitted to Pastor Darrell Hobbs on March 26, 2025, providing the specific details and request to update Regulatory paperwork. After reviewing the articles of incorporation in the Secretary of State website it was determined there is a change of the registered agent. The corporation information does not match the Regulatory Database which is a public storage of facility information. The application paperwork continues to be the only paperwork available to capture all the current and relevant facility owner information. A copy of the applicable application paperwork was available. The Regulatory Database should match the Secretary of State articles of corporation, and to reflect the accurate owner information for Greenway Baptist Church, Inc., which is the owner operator of Greenway Baptist Child Development Center. Please update this information and submit with your letter of compliance. Remind staff they should be up and moving about the room when children are engaged in activities, to include naptime. In the Rainbow classroom both staff were sitting in a chair and not engaged with the children to assist with learning, exploration and expansion of play. Additionally, in this classroom there were only books available in the language area. Additional items such as puppets, stuffed animals, flannel board, etc. should be added to enhance language development. Additional softness is also needed to make the area cozy and inviting for the children. The facility needs a thorough cleaning. Please remind staff they should be wiping down and cleaning all floors, shelves, equipment/materials regularly. The following sanitation requirement is as follows: 15A NCAC 18A .2822 TOYS, EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE (a) Toys, equipment, and furniture provided by a child care center shall be kept clean and in good repair. In rooms designated for children who are not toilet trained, toys and other mouth-contact surfaces that are used by children shall be cleaned and then sanitized after each use and when visibly dirty. Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces shall be cleaned and sanitized as follows: (1) the items shall be scrubbed in warm, soapy water, using a brush to reach into any crevices; (2) the items shall be rinsed in clean water; (3) the items shall be submerged in a sanitizing solution for at least two minutes or in accordance with the instructions on the label of the sanitizing solution; and (4) the items shall be air dried. (b) Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces that are not designed to be submerged in liquid shall be washed and rinsed in place, sprayed with a sanitizing solution, and allowed to air dry. Hard plastic toys may be washed and rinsed in a dishwasher and cloth toys may be laundered and mechanically dried without requiring sanitizing. 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.

New and terminated staff notification requirement: 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. 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 (Automated Background Check Management System) 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) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. Achieving Compliance: A follow-up visit will be conducted to verify compliance of sixteen (16) or more violations. Based on today’s findings, this child care facility received sixteen (16) or more violations. This may warrant an administrative action as identified by Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2201. Additional monitoring visits may be required. 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 June 25, 2025. Email the compliance letter on signed letterhead or in the email identifying your facility name, ID#, name and position to: lee.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov or you can mail to: Department of Health and Human Services Division of Child Development and Early Education Attn: Georgia Lee Marshall P.O. Box 253 Zionville, NC 28698 Please call me at 828-434-0236, or email lee.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: Today we discussed: • Rugs can be tripping hazards if they slide around and move. • Shelving needs to be refinished and cleaned. A new coat of varnish would be great. • Walls are in need of painting. • The bolts attaching the barrier around the mulch need to be hammered down. • When replacing the mulch, be sure to cover exposed footings. • We discussed that the caterpillar tunnel on the infant/toddler playground doesn’t need to be in the mulch box unless they are climbing on it. If they are climbing on it, the mulch needs to extend 6 feet around. Bonnie Mathis, Licensing Supervisor and I, have discussed the need to update the facility’s information to match the articles of corporations. An email was submitted to Pastor Darrell Hobbs on March 26, 2025, providing the specific details and request to update Regulatory paperwork. After reviewing the articles of incorporation in the Secretary of State website it was determined there is a change of the registered agent. The corporation information does not match the Regulatory Database which is a public storage of facility information. The application paperwork continues to be the only paperwork available to capture all the current and relevant facility owner information. A copy of the applicable application paperwork was available. The Regulatory Database should match the Secretary of State articles of corporation, and to reflect the accurate owner information for Greenway Baptist Church, Inc., which is the owner operator of Greenway Baptist Child Development Center. Please update this information and submit with your letter of compliance. Remind staff they should be up and moving about the room when children are engaged in activities, to include naptime. In the Rainbow classroom both staff were sitting in a chair and not engaged with the children to assist with learning, exploration and expansion of play. Additionally, in this classroom there were only books available in the language area. Additional items such as puppets, stuffed animals, flannel board, etc. should be added to enhance language development. Additional softness is also needed to make the area cozy and inviting for the children. The facility needs a thorough cleaning. Please remind staff they should be wiping down and cleaning all floors, shelves, equipment/materials regularly. The following sanitation requirement is as follows: 15A NCAC 18A .2822 TOYS, EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE (a) Toys, equipment, and furniture provided by a child care center shall be kept clean and in good repair. In rooms designated for children who are not toilet trained, toys and other mouth-contact surfaces that are used by children shall be cleaned and then sanitized after each use and when visibly dirty. Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces shall be cleaned and sanitized as follows: (1) the items shall be scrubbed in warm, soapy water, using a brush to reach into any crevices; (2) the items shall be rinsed in clean water; (3) the items shall be submerged in a sanitizing solution for at least two minutes or in accordance with the instructions on the label of the sanitizing solution; and (4) the items shall be air dried. (b) Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces that are not designed to be submerged in liquid shall be washed and rinsed in place, sprayed with a sanitizing solution, and allowed to air dry. Hard plastic toys may be washed and rinsed in a dishwasher and cloth toys may be laundered and mechanically dried without requiring sanitizing. 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 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. 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 lee.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov or 828.434.0236, 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). All information in this report has been reviewed with me today.I understand that it is my responsibility to maintaincompliance with applicable NC Child Care Requirements at all times

We discussed the email that we sent out with specific directions along with contact information for people that can assist if she is having issues with her NCID. New and terminated staff notification requirement: 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. 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 (Automated Background Check Management System) 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) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. Achieving Compliance: A follow-up visit will be conducted to verify compliance of sixteen (16) or more violations. Based on today’s findings, this child care facility received sixteen (16) or more violations. This may warrant an administrative action as identified by Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2201. Additional monitoring visits may be required. 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 June 25, 2025. Email the compliance letter on signed letterhead or in the email identifying your facility name, ID#, name and position to: lee.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov or you can mail to: Department of Health and Human Services Division of Child Development and Early Education Attn: Georgia Lee Marshall P.O. Box 253 Zionville, NC 28698 Please call me at 828-434-0236, or email lee.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: Today we discussed: • Rugs can be tripping hazards if they slide around and move. • Shelving needs to be refinished and cleaned. A new coat of varnish would be great. • Walls are in need of painting. • The bolts attaching the barrier around the mulch need to be hammered down. • When replacing the mulch, be sure to cover exposed footings. • We discussed that the caterpillar tunnel on the infant/toddler playground doesn’t need to be in the mulch box unless they are climbing on it. If they are climbing on it, the mulch needs to extend 6 feet around. Bonnie Mathis, Licensing Supervisor and I, have discussed the need to update the facility’s information to match the articles of corporations. An email was submitted to Pastor Darrell Hobbs on March 26, 2025, providing the specific details and request to update Regulatory paperwork. After reviewing the articles of incorporation in the Secretary of State website it was determined there is a change of the registered agent. The corporation information does not match the Regulatory Database which is a public storage of facility information. The application paperwork continues to be the only paperwork available to capture all the current and relevant facility owner information. A copy of the applicable application paperwork was available. The Regulatory Database should match the Secretary of State articles of corporation, and to reflect the accurate owner information for Greenway Baptist Church, Inc., which is the owner operator of Greenway Baptist Child Development Center. Please update this information and submit with your letter of compliance. Remind staff they should be up and moving about the room when children are engaged in activities, to include naptime. In the Rainbow classroom both staff were sitting in a chair and not engaged with the children to assist with learning, exploration and expansion of play. Additionally, in this classroom there were only books available in the language area. Additional items such as puppets, stuffed animals, flannel board, etc. should be added to enhance language development. Additional softness is also needed to make the area cozy and inviting for the children. The facility needs a thorough cleaning. Please remind staff they should be wiping down and cleaning all floors, shelves, equipment/materials regularly. The following sanitation requirement is as follows: 15A NCAC 18A .2822 TOYS, EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE (a) Toys, equipment, and furniture provided by a child care center shall be kept clean and in good repair. In rooms designated for children who are not toilet trained, toys and other mouth-contact surfaces that are used by children shall be cleaned and then sanitized after each use and when visibly dirty. Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces shall be cleaned and sanitized as follows: (1) the items shall be scrubbed in warm, soapy water, using a brush to reach into any crevices; (2) the items shall be rinsed in clean water; (3) the items shall be submerged in a sanitizing solution for at least two minutes or in accordance with the instructions on the label of the sanitizing solution; and (4) the items shall be air dried. (b) Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces that are not designed to be submerged in liquid shall be washed and rinsed in place, sprayed with a sanitizing solution, and allowed to air dry. Hard plastic toys may be washed and rinsed in a dishwasher and cloth toys may be laundered and mechanically dried without requiring sanitizing. 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 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. 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 lee.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov or 828.434.0236, 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).

When someone is hired or terminated, the administrator will need to log into the ABCMS system to indicate the hire or termination date. 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 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. It is your responsibility to understand the health and safety requirements in child care rule .1102.

The Special Services/Restrictions includes, meeting reduced ratios and enhanced space. The complaint was received by the Division of Child Development and Early Education on 1/14/25 and sent to me on 1/14/25. • There is a concern that children were cared for in an unsafe indoor environment. • There is a concern that children were not attended to in a nurturing and appropriate manor or in keeping with the children’s developmental needs. • There is a concern of inappropriate discipline. In the case of an unsafe environment, the video footage could not be viewed today due to a written request to the church is needed before releasing or viewing. I will email my request for the video footage to the pastor of the church. I am unable to reach a conclusion today on this allegation. Based on the interviews, the allegation regarding children not being attended to in a nurturing and appropriate manor or in keeping with their developmental needs is unsubstantiated. Based on the interviews with five staff, administrator and assistant administrator, the allegation regarding inappropriate discipline is substantiated. The administrator stated that as soon as she was made aware of the situation, she talked to the staff and it hasn’t occurred since then. The following violations were documented during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children.

Staff documentation stated that during drop off a parent grabbed another child's hand or the toy, jerked him while telling the child he better quit hitting her child and to go sit down. I am asking that the administrator review and revise the safe arrival and drop off procedure to assure that children are safe and protected during these times. Restraint is a form of discipline and discipline can not be related to rest time. A teacher confirmed that on multiple occasions, she has been putting her leg across children at rest time to keep them on their mat. I am requesting that the administrator go over the discipline policy with all staff as a review that children should not be restrained nor should discipline relate to food, rest or toileting. I would also ask that you go over the ITS-SIDS policy with all staff to include that children will not be swaddled, and the ITS-SIDS policy goes through (up to 13 months) 12 months.

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 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. Failure to maintain the same education point level may result in a violation of the above rule reference and may result in a reduction of stars. 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.

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 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. Failure to maintain the same education point level may result in a violation of the above rule reference and may result in a reduction of stars. 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.

Consultation is provided as follows: • We disused that children’s incident reports need to be filed in the child’s file. • Assure that staff update that they have reviewed the operational policies, personnel policies, emergency medical care plan and epr plan annually. • Space #6 needs more books. • Space #3 is having problems with behavior issues. We discussed the behavior hotline and that was sent to the teacher. • Please fluff the mulch and hammer down bolts on the black boarders. • Please remove grass that is growing in the sandboxes. 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 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. Failure to maintain the same education point level may result in a violation of the above rule reference and may result in a reduction of stars.

This should be completed immediately upon hiring or at the latest, by the end of the six-week orientation process. Failure to maintain the same education point level may result in a violation of the above rule reference and may result in a reduction of stars.

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. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2830 MAINTAINING THE STAR RATING (a)A representative of the Division may make announced or unannounced visits to facilities to assess on-going compliance with the requirements of a star rating after it has been issued. 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. Failure to maintain the same education point level may result in a violation of the above rule reference and may result in a reduction of stars. 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.

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. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2830 MAINTAINING THE STAR RATING (a)A representative of the Division may make announced or unannounced visits to facilities to assess on-going compliance with the requirements of a star rating after it has been issued. 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. Failure to maintain the same education point level may result in a violation of the above rule reference and may result in a reduction of stars. 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.
