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. Children were observed playing outside. Age appropriate materials and equipment was accessible to all children. 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. 6 children's records were reviewed and staff records were reviewed along with the staff and training worksheet. Not all staff and training worksheets had been updated. The last fire inspection was completed 10/28/25. The last fire drill was completed on 3/26/26. The last shelter-in-place drill was completed 3/24/26. The operation's EPR plan was last updated 4/1/26. Outdoor inspections were observed to be completed monthly.

Diaper creams were observed to have current permissions in all rooms. Sleep checks were observed to be completed. Bottles were observed labeled and feeding sheets were evaluated. I observed a current menu to be posted that met nutrition requirements. 9 emergency medications were evaluated and found to meet all requirements. Transportation is not provided by this facility. This operation was observed to have completed enrollment in asbestos and lead paint testing. This operation was observed to have a roster in the ABCMS system.

If you cannot meet the requirements by May 6, 2026 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.

Today's visit was conducted with Pam Holt, Administrator. Children were observed participating in routine activities in their rooms and playing outside. A partial assessment of applicable childcare requirements was conducted. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on 5/2/24. The last fire inspection was conducted 10/1/24. The last sanitation inspection was conducted 6/24/24. Staff and training worksheets and files for new staff hired since the last annual compliance inspection were reviewed. A fire drill was last conducted 7/13/24. The last shelter-in-place drill was conducted 2/17/24. Outdoor inspections were observed to be completed monthly. Medications are stored in each room above 5 feet. Permission forms and allergy plans are kept in the children's files. All required postings were observed. Today I observed 1 violation regarding childcare requirements listed below and these violations were discussed with you in detail during the visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 847 Parent's medication authorization did not include required information. 7 emergency medication authorizations did not meet the requirements. 3 were observed to exceed the 6 month period without renewal and 4 did not have permission forms in the file. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(4)(6-9) The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance must be mailed by November 12, 2024 stating that all violations have been corrected. The letter can be emailed to scott.moore@dhhs.nc.gov. If you state in the compliance letter that corrections have been made when they have not, this will be considered falsification of information.

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. A copy of the NCRLAP assessment was provided during inspection. We discussed the current rated license process and the report during inspection. As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days.

We discussed again medication permission forms. The current system does not seem to be working as far as keeping the forms current. I'd advise keeping forms with the medications or creating a binder to maintain the forms in the front office. Since all need permission forms it would be a good idea to do them all at once and set a calendar reminder to redo them all again within 6 months. A copy of the medication permission form was given during inspection. If you have any questions or concerns I can be reached at scott.moore@dhhs.nc.gov or 984-389-7839.
