    Name of Operation: CRANFIELD ACADEMY CARY Facility ID: 92003861 Consultant: SCOTT MOORE Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 9/17/2024 Number Present: 59 Completed Date: 9/17/2024 Age: From 0 To 11 Total Minutes: 155 Time In: 09:05 AM Time Out: 11:40 AM 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 your Annual Compliance visit. Applicable childcare requirements and the inspection was discussed with Administrator, Jeffrey Ingram. Currently this facility operates with a 5 star license effective March 27, 2023. During the visit I monitored the indoor and outdoor spaces used for child care. I observed children during routine activities. I observed whole group activities and free play activities. Age appropriate materials and equipment was accessible to all children. Outdoor play was not being conducted due to rain. The Administrator shared that recently the Assistant Administrator was let go from employment. He stated that 3 other employees walked out with her 2 work days ago. He stated they have been messaging corporate and employees nasty messages and posting fraudulent reviews on Google and various platforms. He said they are managing with ratio and staff despite the staff leaving. The facility was monitored for compliance using the annual compliance monitoring checklist. I also monitored, permit restrictions, posting requirements, training requirements, use of approved space, program records, and nutrition. 8 children's records were reviewed and staff records were reviewed along with the staff and training worksheet. The last fire inspection was completed 8/9/24. Corrections were required and the operation is waiting for the Fire Marshall to return. The Administrator stated he would send a copy of the final report once received. The last fire drill was completed on 9/5/24. The last shelter-in-place drill was completed 8/9/24. The operation's EPR plan was last updated 9/9/24. Outdoor inspections were observed to be completed monthly. Diaper creams and suntan lotions were observed to have current permissions in all rooms. 6 emergency medications were observed through the operation to meet all requirements. Transportation was stated to be provided. I evaluated transportation fully and found no violations. The operation's main page was updated to reflect offering transportation. Vehicle KHH-4119 had working seatbelts and registration which expires 5/20205. I observed 2 violations during this inspection. Violation Number Comment Rule 1321 Medical exam or health assessment record was not on file before or within 30 days after admission. 2 children's records evaluated did not contain documentation of a completed health assessment by a medical profossional. GS110-91(1) 1898 Staff did not complete the health and safety training within one year of employment. One caregiver did not have documentation of completed health and safety training within the 1st year of employment. .1102(a) The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance must be mailed by October 1, 2024 stating that all violations have been corrected. The letter can be emailed to scott.moore@dhhs.nc.gov or mailed to: Scott Moore 5 Seawell Ct Durham, NC 27703 If you state in the compliance letter that corrections have been made when they have not, this will be considered falsification of information. If you cannot meet the requirements by October 1, 2024 you must contact me with a proposed timeline of the corrections. In some cases the timeline may be extended. You are required to always maintain compliance with all applicable child care rules and regulations. NC GS 110-90(4)(d) requires all child care facilities to maintain a compliance history score of at least 75% for the past eighteen months or during the length of time the facility has operated, whichever is less. Failure to do so may result in the issuance of a provisional license or other administrative action. Violations cited during today's visit may negatively impact your compliance score. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Hold harmless has been extended until the new QRIS is implemented (SB 425). Providers in Cohort 1 are not required to go any further with a rated license assessment unless they want to, and providers in Cohort 2 do not need to start their preparation year unless they want to. This is optional and up to your discretion at this time. I would advise to still work on preparing and ensuring staff education is current in WORKS. If you've had a lead water test in the past it is likely due (every 3 years). Visit cleanwaterforcarolinakids.org and apply for a water test timely before you receive a sanitation inspection. Please sign up for lead paint testing and asbestos testing on the same website. During signup after you complete the questionnaire, you may receive a letter(s) of exemption. Please keep these letters on file. We discussed medication authorization forms and the requirement that they be renewed every 6 months. It's important to have a plan to ensure that every emergency medication has an authorization to administer form, the form is current with a 6 month date range, and that it is renewed before expiration. Some operations find it helpful to renew all of them at once on a recurring basis. If you have any questions or concerns I can be reached at scott.moore@dhhs.nc.gov or 984-389-7839. If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000). All information in this report has been reviewed with me today.I understand that it is my responsibility to maintaincompliance with applicable NC Child Care Requirements at all times
