Now is the time to evaluate your current practices, staff credentials, curriculum use, and classroom interactions to determine which pathway is the best fit. Programs are encouraged to begin preparing for updates to staff qualification standards and assessment tools. While existing star ratings will remain valid for now, all new star ratings will be subject to the new system. Your program’s quality should reflect not just compliance—but a commitment to best practices, child development, and continuous improvement.

10A NCAC 09 .0710 · Violation

Name of Operation: FIRST BAPTIST CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER Facility ID: 0155041 Consultant: ANITA GRAHAM Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 9/18/2024 Number Present: 57 Completed Date: 9/18/2024 Age: From 0 To 4 Total Minutes: 240 Time In: 09:38 AM Time Out: 01:38 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Annual Comp Full Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements during an Annual Compliance visit. This program is operating with a Four(4)-Star License, which was issued on December 17, 2018. A check of the Secretary of State website shows The First Baptist Church of Burlington as Current-Active. Upon arrival to the facility, I was greeted by the director, Lisa Moore. I stated the purpose of my visit and we conducted a walk through of the facility. The children were observed participating in outdoor free play, routines, and resting. The last Fire Inspection was conducted on December 13, 2023. The last Sanitation Inspection was completed on June 24, 2023 with a superior rating. A full assessment of child care requirements was conducted this date. I monitored the indoor and outdoor learning environment. I observed the permit posted, restrictions maintained, supervision, staff/child ratio. I monitored program records, a sampling of children’s records, four new staff files and all staff trainings. The following violations were observed, cited and technical assistance resource links were provided. Violation Number Comment Rule 535 Any excess formula, thawed human milk and/or bottled beverage were not discarded or returned home at the end of each day. A bottle of baby formula, dated 9/6 was observed in the refrigerator in the infant room. 15A NCAC 18A .2804(d) 1021 Individual responsible for a group of children did not meet the preservice requirements for a lead teacher or teacher. A staff member listed as a teacher assistant, and caring for infants, does not have a High School Diploma or a GED. 10A NCAC 09 .0710 (a-b) The above violations must be corrected immediately. A corrective action letter must be drafted describing how and when the violations were corrected. Please include the name and identification number of your facility, as well as your electronic signature. The letter must be received by my office on or before October 1, 2024. You may email it to anita.c.graham@dhhs.nc.gov or it may be mailed to the following address: PO Box 665, Pleasant Garden, NC 27313. If I do not receive your letter by October 1, 2024, a return visit to your program may be necessary to ensure the violations have been adequately corrected. Additional violations may be documented. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: During today’s visit a staff member caring for children in the infant room, who has not obtained the high school diploma, nor the GED. This preservice requirement prohibits staff without one of these documents, shall not be left alone with children, nor can she be counted in staff/child ratio. Further, since the staff member is older than 17 years, they do not meet the requirement to serve as a teacher’s aide. You have stated that the staff member is enrolled in the GED online program through Alamance Community College. You have stated that you will allow the staff member to complete that online coursework today during the work day, and request testing for the GED. We discussed that the staff member may serve in other non-caregiving capacities, i.e. as the cook, office aid, or cleaning until the class is complete and documentation is attained. Prepared powdered formula that has not been given/served to an infant should be covered, labeled with time and current date of preparation and child’s full name, and may be stored in the refrigerator for up to twenty-four hours. Bottles not served in this time frame shall be discarded or returned to the parents at the end of the day. The date observed on a infant bottle today was 9/6/. It may be necessary to re-check the dates prior to bottles being placed in the classroom refrigerator by the parents. This may ensure the staff are able to intercept out of date labeling. Thereby reducing the risk of inaccuracy or feeding the infant unsanitary or incorrect formula. You were provided an opportunity to ask questions regarding the interpretation and the implementation of childcare requirements applicable to the facility. It is the childcare operator’s responsibility to be familiar and up to date on the most current child are rules. Child Care Rulebook as well as the Provider Forms and Documents can be accessed by going to the DCDEE Website, https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/.

AGENCY NEWS: The Division of Child Development and Early Education in partnership with Child Care Services Association has released the latest statewide study of the early care and education workforce. Top findings from the report include: • The early childhood workforce often earns too little to meet their basic needs. • More teachers are leaving their jobs, and many, plan to leave the field altogether. • Child care stabilization grants likely reduced the loss of child care centers during this time period. However, there was a significant decrease in family home providers. • Many teachers are highly educated, but overall have fewer years of education than in 2019. • Most teachers are female and disproportionately Black/African American.
