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. 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.

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. We discussed coming up with a system to track emergency medications to ensure the authorizations are renewed every 6 months and when medications are received they are checked to ensure they meet all requirements.
