Applicable childcare requirements and the inspection was discussed with Administrator, Anneke Braisted. Currently this facility operates with a 5 star license effective 6/11/19. 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; including children 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. 9 children's records were reviewed and staff records were reviewed along with the staff and training worksheet. The last fire inspection was completed 11/27/24. The last fire drill was completed on 2/6/25. The last shelter-in-place drill was completed 12/18/24. The operation's EPR plan was last updated December 2023 but the Administrator updated the plan during inspection. Outdoor inspections were observed to be completed monthly. Diaper creams and suntan lotions were observed to have current permissions in all rooms. Sleep checks were observed to be completed. 3 emergency medications were observed. One was observed to not have a current permission. Transportation is not provided by this facility. This operation has completed sign up with the ABCMS background check system. I observed 2 violations during this inspection. Violation Number Comment Rule 847 Parent's medication authorization did not include required information. One child's emergency medication administration authorization was expired. 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 operation's EPR plan was last updated 12/2023. This was corrected at inspection when the Administrator updated the plan. .0607(e) The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance must be mailed by March 4, 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. If you cannot meet the requirements by March 4, 2025 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 the need to only maintain certain records for 3 years to help maintain organization and record keeping. 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
