A walk-through of the downstairs area of the residence was conducted visiting the one (1) room used for childcare. The required postings, along with appropriate equipment and furnishings were observed. The emergency drills, outdoor inspections, the activity plan, daily attendance, and five (5) children’s files were also observed and in compliance.

The only medications observed for children on the premises were three (3) topical ointments. The required permission to administer the medications was observed. The children were observed on the floor moving about with age appropriate toys and equipment. You completed diapering and handwashing routines and feed the children as required. A caring and nurturing environment was observed as you interacted with the children and attended to their needs. During today’s visit, an assessment of applicable child care requirements was conducted. The following violation of child care requirements was cited and must be corrected immediately. Technical assistance on how to maintain compliance was provided. Violation Number Comment Rule 1875 The EPR Plan did not include the location of the Ready to Go File and/or required information.

The following were discussed with you during today’s visit: • 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. • Technical Assistance was provided with the following suggestions that may be beneficial: Ready to Go File: The Ready to Go File requirement is crucial because it acts as a readily accessible collection of critical information needed to quickly respond to an emergency, allowing you to efficiently evacuate children, contact parents, and address specific needs during a crisis, ensuring the safety and well-being of all individuals in the residence. You need to create a Ready to Go File notebook/binder/accordion folder with all of the required paperwork. A Ready to Go File checklist was provided today for you to ensure required paperwork is added to your notebook/binder/accordion folder. At least monthly, your Ready to Go File should be monitored to ensure that it is up to date. The file should be updated when new children enroll or disenroll, and/or when new medication is provided for a child or when the medication is no longer needed, and/or when a child has an allergy, the allergy list needs to be modified. It is suggested to mark your calendar or set an alarm to remind you to update your EPR Plan/Ready to Go File. • You were reminded about child care rules in .1721(f)(4) (A-B) regarding written record retention of sleep charts, attendance, fire drills, and outdoor play area inspections since you have many years of paperwork. • Your lead in water results were completed on 11-14-2024.
