Name of Operation: RENAISSANCE MONTESSORI SCHOOL OF CARY Facility ID: 92002963 Consultant: SCOTT MOORE Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 1/15/2026 Number Present: 67 Completed Date: 1/15/2026 Age: From 1 To 5 Total Minutes: 75 Time In: 09:15 AM Time Out: 10:30 AM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Routine Unannounced Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to monitor compliance with applicable child care requirements. Today's visit was conducted with Mayra Fuentes, Administrator. Children were observed participating in routine activities in their rooms. A partial assessment of applicable childcare requirements was conducted. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on 7/17/25. The last fire inspection was conducted 1/21/25. The last sanitation inspection was conducted 12/18/25. Staff and training worksheets and files for new staff hired since the last annual compliance inspection were reviewed for required items based on the hire date. A fire drill was last conducted 1/5/26. The last lockdown drill was conducted 1/6/26. Outdoor inspections were observed to be completed monthly. 4 emergency medications were evaluated and found to meet all requirements. All required postings were observed. Today I observed 3 violations regarding childcare requirements listed below and these violations were discussed with you in detail during the visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 115 A summary of the NC Child Care Law was not posted in a prominent place in the center. The summary of the law poster was not observed during inspection. This was corrected during inspection when the Administrator printed out the form and posted it. G.S. 110-102 1955 The child care center was not free of lead poisoning hazards as defined in G.S. 1130A-131.7(7). The operation has not completed enrollment in lead paint testing as observed during inspection. Technical assistance regarding this requirement was previously provided on 7/17/25 and 1/17/25. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(f) 1959 The child care center was not free of asbestos hazards as defined in G.S. 130A-444(2) and 10A NCAC 09 .0102(4). The operation was observed to no have completed enrollment in asbestos testing. Technical assistance regarding this requirement was previously provided on 7/17/25 and 1/17/25. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(f) The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance must be mailed by January 29, 2026 stating that all violations have been corrected. The letter can be emailed to scott.moore@dhhs.nc.gov or mailed to: DHHS Division of Child Development 2201 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-2201 ATTN: Scott Moore 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 January 29, 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. 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 Please finish enrollment (cleanwaterforcarolinakids.org) for lead paint testing and asbestos. During signup after you complete the questionnaire, you may receive a letter(s) of exemption. Please keep these letters on file. Being enrolled in both tests is a minimum compliance requirement for sanitation by January 2026. Make sure to keep your ABCMS roster current. A current roster is required or a violation can be cited. When hiring staff instruct them to use your operation's unique code when submitting their background check so that it connects to your roster. For medications, a reminder to ensure that the original box with prescription accompanies any emergency medications you maintain on site. For CPR, using an online course is fine so long as it is accompanied by an in person demonstration of skills. Completion of both aspects should constitute completion of the course and result in the required CPR card used for verification. 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

Applicable childcare requirements and the inspection was discussed with person in charge, Elaina Huerta. The Administrator was stated to be out on personal business for the day. Currently this facility operates with a 1 star license effective 6/3/15. 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. Children were observed playing outside. 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. Children's records were unable to be reviewed and the person in charge stated they did not have access to them. The person in charge stated the Administrator stated she could email them to me if requested. The last fire inspection was completed 1/21/25. The last fire drill was completed on 6/19/25. The last lockdown drill was completed 6/20/25. I was unable to observe the operation's EPR plan during inspection. Outdoor inspections were observed to be completed monthly. This operation does not current provide care for infants so items regarding safe sleep and evacuation cribs were not able to be evaluated. No cribs or infant area was observed in the facility. I observed menu's to be posted in each room. 4 emergency medications were observed hanging in their respective rooms above 5 feet in height. Transportation is not provided by this facility. The operation was noted to have started enrollment in lead paint and asbestos testing but it has not been completed. A roster was observed in the ABCMS system but comparing it to the staff and training worksheet and present staff during inspection, it is out of date and needs to be updated to reflect currently employed staff. I observed 5 violations during this inspection. Violation Number Comment Rule 620 All walls and ceilings including doors and windows were not kept clean, free of visible fungal growth, and in good repair. Baseboards in the Lotus room (room 2) were observed to be broken and pushed in with flaking paint and access to building materials behind the wall. 15A NCAC 18A .2825(a) 847 Parent's medication authorization did not include required information. An emergency medication present in the Lily room (room 3) had a medication authorization which expired 6/6/25. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(4)(6-9) 1328 Children's records were not made available for review. I was not provided access to review children's records during inspection and the person in charge stated they did not have access to them. G.S. 110-91(9) 1805 A child care operator did not notify the Division of any new child care providers, as defined in G.S. 110-90.2(a)(2), who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. A current staff roster was not observed in the ABCMS system. Staff listed in the system were not on the current staff and training worksheet. G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) 1824 The trained staff did not review the EPR Plan annually or when information in the plan changed to ensure all information was current. I was unable to observe a current EPR plan during inspection. .0607(e) The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance must be mailed by July 31, 2025 stating that all violations have been corrected. The letter can be emailed to scott.moore@dhhs.nc.gov or mailed to: DHHS Division of Child Development 2201 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-2201 ATTN: Scott Moore 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 When the Administrator is out, a person needs to be left in charge that is able to operate the facility in compliance at all times and have access to all necessary records. Not having access to records and emergency contact information presents a risk to children present in the event of an emergency. I will return to the facility at a later date to observe children's records. Visit cleanwaterforcarolinakids.org and finish enrollment in asbestos and lead paint testing. This is required and will result in a violation if enrollment is not completed. During signup after you complete the questionnaire, you may receive a letter(s) of exemption. Please keep these letters on file. Your staff roster in the ABCMS system is not current. Please work to sign up for the ABCMS system and complete connecting applications ASAP. 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. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. No cost connecting applications can be submitted by employees to get them listed under your facility. One emergency medication in room 5 Orchid had an odd valid date that may not be accurate. Emergency medications can be valid for 6 months. Advise updating this form if the emergency medication is needed for an extended period of time. 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).

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 When the Administrator is out, a person needs to be left in charge that is able to operate the facility in compliance at all times and have access to all necessary records. Not having access to records and emergency contact information presents a risk to children present in the event of an emergency. I will return to the facility at a later date to observe children's records. Visit cleanwaterforcarolinakids.org and finish enrollment in asbestos and lead paint testing. This is required and will result in a violation if enrollment is not completed. During signup after you complete the questionnaire, you may receive a letter(s) of exemption. Please keep these letters on file. Your staff roster in the ABCMS system is not current. Please work to sign up for the ABCMS system and complete connecting applications ASAP. 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. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. No cost connecting applications can be submitted by employees to get them listed under your facility. One emergency medication in room 5 Orchid had an odd valid date that may not be accurate. Emergency medications can be valid for 6 months. Advise updating this form if the emergency medication is needed for an extended period of time. 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).

Applicable childcare requirements and the inspection was discussed with Administrator, Mayra Fuentes. Currently this facility operates with a 1 star license effective June 3, 2015. I observed this operation to be a member of the International Montessori Council through 8/3/24. I observed the operation's status with the Secretary of State to be active. 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 during outdoor play with adequate supervision. Age appropriate materials and equipment was accessible to all children. The operation has a pre-k program that will begin operating soon. They also stated they have a summer camp that just closed. Enrollment and staff presence will increase once the school begins. 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 and staff files. The last fire inspection was completed 12/21/23. The last sanitation inspection was completed 1/11/24. The last fire drill was completed on 7/1/24. The last lockdown drill was completed 6/27/24. The operation's EPR plan was last updated August 2022. Outdoor inspections were observed to be completed monthly. This operation does not provide care for infants so sleep checks and safe sleep policy is not applicable. 4 emergency medications were observed throughout the operation. 2 were observed to have parent medication authorizations that were expired. Transportation is not provided by this operation. I observed 2 violations during this inspection. Violation Number Comment Rule 847 Parent's medication authorization did not include required information. 2 emergency medications were observed to have expired parent authorization to administer the medication. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(4)(6-9) 1824 The trained staff did not review the EPR Plan annually or when information in the plan changed to ensure all information was current.

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 August 6, 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.
