Your program currently operates with a five-star license, issued April 29,2020, earning (7) points in the education component, (6) points in the program standards component meeting all enhanced requirements and 1 quality point by having a staff benefits package and an infrastructure of parent involvement. Your program was also monitored for compliance with implementing an approved curriculum as required for all four and five-star licensed facilities where four-year-old children are enrolled. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was 95% as of February 8, 2024. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on February 8, 2024, and Casa-Club Spanish Immersion Preschool, Inc. was listed as current- active. The license was posted, and the restrictions were in compliance. A walk-through of the facility was completed today, all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in the indoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were participating in group time, free play in activity areas, transitions, and personal care routines. Infants were engaged in tummy time, napping, and diapering routines. Sleep checks were completed, recorded, and maintained as required. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. Files for new staff were reviewed. Rated license requirements were reviewed to ensure compliance was maintained with current program and education components as well as the quality point. Fire and sanitation inspections have not occurred since the last visit and remain current. One violation was cited during today’s visit and was corrected during the visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 1874 The Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy was not reviewed with new staff prior to providing care with children and/or a signed acknowledgement with all the required information was not maintained in the staff person's file. Staff NPS was hired September 14, 2023 and did not sign the Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy until September 19, 2023. .0608(d)(1-4) Child care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. Technical assistance: We discussed adding the Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy to your new hire packet so that staff will sign it on their first day prior to providing care to children. We discussed requesting Environment Rating Scale (ERS) assessments in an effort to increase the program's star rating. Resources such as Child Care Resource and Referral and Smart Start can be valuable when preparing for the ERS. “All about ECERS-R”, “All about ITERS-R” and the NCRLAP website (www.ncrlap.org) can also be helpful as staff prepare for the ERS. On the NCRLAP website, there are training videos, sample questions and clarifying information regarding the assessments you may find helpful. For the latest information on child care rules and regulations, please visit the Division of Child Development and Early Education's website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was printed, reviewed, and a copy was left with you.
