The facility was monitored for health and safety requirements. The program requirements, along with equipment and furnishings were also observed. A sampling of children’s records and staff files was also monitored. Information was documented on the staff and training worksheet and children’s records form. One violation regarding children medication authorization was documented. The facility does not provide transportation. The owner of this facility is listed as current/active with the NC Secretary of State.
