CONSULTATION: All licensed childcare facilities are currently under the ‘Hold-Harmless’ state for their license from DCDEE. Once QRIS is implemented, you will receive information from DCDEE regarding the new pathways for licensure and your timeframe for completing your license renewal. The NCRLAP website, https://ncrlap.org, has trainings geared towards the new FCCERS3 assessment scales. These will introduce you to the updated assessment scale and provide tips for completing the new scale. Ms. Harris and I spent some time today visiting the clean water for US kids website, registering for the webinar, and discussing next steps for completing the water sample. Ms. Harris and I logged into the Moodle website and I assisted her in locating the 2025 CCDF Health and Safety trainings. I left a copy of the training log today. We discussed medication storage if a child requires a medical action plan. First, be sure to carefully review each child’s application to determine if an action plan is required. The parent must complete an action plan and permission to administer medication forms. If the parent signs the forms, they are valid for six months. If a physician signs, they are valid for twelve months. Emergency medications are not in locked storage and must be kept up at least five feet above children and inaccessible to children. If an additional over-the-counter medication is listed like Benadryl, it must be stored in a small locked box and kept with the unlocked emergency medication. A child requiring an action plan cannot attend without the plan and required medications being onsite. The medications must be in the original prescription packaging. Upcoming training opportunities can be found on the CCSA website https://www.childcareservices.org/programs/ccrr/professional-development/ Documents and forms for DCDEE licensure can be found at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Provider/Provider-Documents-and-Forms.
