My email address is mona.ndiaye@dhhs.nc.gov. If I do not receive your letter by December 26, 2025 and/or if you do not address all violations, a return visit to your program will be made to monitor for compliance of violations and to obtain your compliance letter. Additional violations may be documented if the violations have not been corrected or addressed. You were provided an opportunity to ask questions regarding interpretation and implementation of all child care requirements. Child care licensing rules and regulations are established to ensure a safe and healthy environment for children in care. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all of the licensing requirements that apply to your program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all of the applicable laws and rules at all times. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules. Both are available on the DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ , on the home page under the ‘Services’ tab. Technical Assistance Order your staff files in the same order as the staff and training worksheets. Start working on your Family and Community Engagement policies and the center and individual CQI plans. Start by reviewing staff education requirements and making sure all staff at the current star level. Preparing for North Carolina's New QRIS System The Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) is being modernized to provide more flexible and equitable ways for programs to demonstrate quality. Starting later this year, providers will be able to choose from three star-rating pathways—Program Assessment, Classroom & Instructional Quality, or Accreditation—allowing you to align your strengths with the rating method that best fits your program. 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. Stay informed, stay proactive, and take advantage of technical assistance and training opportunities as they become available. Burlington, please plan to attend this meeting to get further information about the new QRIS system. For more information and guidance, visit https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov. Search QRIS and click QRIS Modernization RESOURCES The Health and Safety Trainings are offered on the DCDEE Moodle format. On the Division’s website look under the “SERVICES” tab for “DCDEE Moodle”. These trainings are free, and participants will receive training certificates when completed. Child care programs can order free posters from the NC Child Care Health and Safety Resource Center at https://healthychildcare.unc.edu/ . Thank you for your cooperation during today’s visit.
