Name of Operation: SOWING SEEDS CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER Facility ID: 63000537 Consultant: DEBORAH DAVIS Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0425-160L Visit Date: 4/24/2025 Number Present: 29 Completed Date: 4/24/2025 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 115 Time In: 09:50 AM Time Out: 11:45 AM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced Reporter stated there are allegations of violations of child care requirements regarding sanitation, nutrition, staff qualifications and supervision. Staff who were previously in the classroom for infants are no longer employed. Ms. Collins and Ms. Hamilton, Co-Administrators, take turns working in the classroom along with the cook, Ms. Potter. Nutrition-One infant was enrolled that required a infant feeding schedule. I monitored the schedule and it was up to date. According to the daily feeding forms the infant feeding schedule has been followed. This part of the complaint is not substantiated. Sanitation- Administrators were not aware of staff mixing morning and lunch time milk. However, staff have been giving used bottles to the infant if it's within an hour of the initial feeding. I contacted Moore County Environmental Health Supervisor Crystal Hodges regarding this. She referred me to the following- Rule .2804(h)- (h) After the completion of each feeding, any leftover formula, human milk, or other bottled beverages used during the feeding shall be discarded or sent home with the child whose name is on the label for the formula, human milk, or bottled beverage at the end of each day. Feeding is complete when the child care center employee has stopped feeding the child and the child has been removed from the feeding area in the child care center and returned to other activities. Bottles previously used for feeding shall not be returned to communal mechanical refrigeration. Nothing in these Rules shall prohibit human milk from being sent home at the end of the day with the child whose name is on the label for the human milk instead of being discarded when the child's parent or guardian has given the child care center written permission to send the human milk home. I discussed this with Ms. Hamilton and Ms. Collins and they are now aware of the requirement change for bottle feeding. This part of the complaint is substantiated. Staff qualifications-Ms. Potter, the cook/floater, was verified to have up to date ITS-SIDS, CPR and First Aid qualifications. This part of the complaint is not substantiated. Supervision regarding a child being bitten- Neither Ms. Collins or Ms. Hamilton were aware of a child being bitten. Incident reports were reviewed and there was not one on file for a biting on March 24, 2025. Based on information obtained and interviews with staff, only one part of the complaint was substantiated regarding sanitation requirements for feeding bottles to infants. There was one violation documented and discussed with Ms. Collins. Violation Number Comment Rule 9995 A violation has been found for which there is no item number. After the completion of each feeding, any leftover formula, human milk, or other bottled beverages used during the feeding shall be discarded or sent home with the child whose name is on the label for the formula, human milk, or bottled beverage at the end of each day. Feeding is complete when the child care center employee has stopped feeding the child and the child has been removed from the feeding area in the child care center and returned to other activities. Bottles previously used for feeding shall not be returned to communal mechanical refrigeration. Nothing in these Rules shall prohibit human milk from being sent home at the end of the day with the child whose name is on the label for the human milk instead of being discarded when the child's parent or guardian has given the child care center written permission to send the human milk home. Staff were feeding children left over bottles after the completion of a feeding. This is a violation of 15A NCAC 18A.2804(h). 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. On or before May 8, 2025, 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 considered legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance- Ms. Hamilton is considering using the classroom for infants as a separate therapy room that will be used by a therapist for therapy for children that are not enrolled in the center. She must complete the following- 1. The classroom must be removed as part of the licensed space. 2. Children and parents/guardians must enter the space through the door that does not exit into the playground. They cannot enter through the front door of the facility or any door that enters through any of the playgrounds. 3. It is recommended the therapist complete a criminal background check and the letter shall be kept on file at the facility. 4. Ms. Hamilton shall submit the above plan in writing to me before using the space as a therapy room. Ms. Hamilton and Ms. Collins and I discussed the sanitation requirements regarding not giving used bottles to children within an hour timeframe. Sanitation Rule 15A NCAC 18A.2804(h) was discussed at length. Both administrators stated they understand the requirements and will maintain compliance with the requirement.

Technical Assistance- The Governor signed Senate Bill 425 (now Session Law 2024-34), Health and Human Services Omnibus Bill, which includes the Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) Modifications recommended to the Legislature by the NC Child Care Commission to update QRIS and create additional pathways for licensed child care facilities to earn star rated licenses. The Child Care Commission is currently in the process of drafting proposed child care rule language to begin the rulemaking process for implementing the new requirements. The rulemaking process will include publishing of proposed revised rules as well as a public hearing and public comment period. Hold Harmless provisions have been extended and star rated license assessments for licensed child care providers will be conducted by provider request only, until the QRIS rulemaking process has been completed. Star rated license assessments are still required for new child care programs. We discussed the possibility of the center becoming licensed. I explained staff must register in the NCID system on the DCDEE website and submit official transcripts to DCDEE to begin the process. Once staff education is verified a rated license visit will be scheduled. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was printed, reviewed, and a copy was left with you.
