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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
