Michele Sullivan, Licensing Supervision accompanied me on the visit. During today’s visit, C. Bahnson, School Principal and T. Hutchinson, NC Pre-K Lead Teacher, assisted us with the visit. On October 8, 2025, the Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) was notified by Mecklenburg County Environmental Health Department that they had received an anonymous report that the facility was operating without water. Today, the Principal reported that she was notified at 6:21a.m. on October 8th that the school was without water. She also reported notifying the staff that the school was without water but should be back on around 8:30a.m. She was given updates throughout the day that pushed the time further out. The water did not come back on until 6:30p.m. The school houses two licensed NC Pre K classrooms. It was reported that neither the Principal nor NC Pre-K staff contacted Environmental Health for guidance on closing. The Principal reported that she notified her supervisor, however, did not call Environmental Health. The Lead Teacher also reported that she did not notify Environmental Health or the facility’s off-site Administrator, D. Addison. It was reported by the Principal and Lead Teacher that bottled water was supplied to the classrooms for handwashing and toilets were flushed by custodial staff by using buckets of water. Conflicting information was received regarding what the children were served for breakfast and lunch. The NC Pre-K staff reported that the children were served grilled cheese, a fruit cup and milk however, could not remember if the children were served a second fruit or vegetable. The Principal reported the children were served a grilled cheese sandwich and fries. The menu posted had not been updated to reflect the changes made for the day. It was reported by the Lead Teacher that she was advised by the Environmental Health Supervisor, R. Ervin, that the NC Pre-K classrooms should close, however the Lead Teacher was relying on the Principal to make the decision. The Principal reported that she was waiting on the school district to make the decision not realizing that NC Pre-K had more stringent requirements. Children were dismissed on the normal dismissal schedule of 3:20p.m. The facility was issued a “Provisional” sanitation classification on October 8, 2025, however, was issued a “Superior” classification on October 9, 2025, once the water issue was resolved. Based on information received from Mecklenburg County Environmental Health Department, and discussions with the Principal and Lead Teacher, the allegation regarding sanitation requirements not being followed is confirmed. The following violations were cited. Violation Number Comment Rule 526 Menus for all meals and snacks were not current or posted where easily seen by parents and cook.

A checklist was used to monitor the facility. Upon my arrival I was greeted by Angel Lennon, LT for one of the NC Pre K classrooms, and the point of contact while on site. Two NC Pre K classrooms are in operation at this location. Upon my arrival they were both lining up their groups for outdoor time. I walked with group 1 to the playgrounds and observed both groups during outdoor play. While outdoors I observed the boarder wall around the fall zone of the stationary equipment in poor repair, one boarder was observed cracked with a hole and several of the boarder pegs were sticking up causing tripping hazards and protrusions. Staff were observed moving about the play area monitoring children as they played. Monthly playground inspections were observed completed, however there was no proof on file that the person who conducted the inspections has completed Playground Safety Training. Back in the classrooms children and staff were observed washing hands. After hand washing, I observed lunch, hand washing again, large group time and rest time. Supervision and NC Pre K staff/child ratio was observed meeting compliance. I monitored both classrooms. In B1 I observed one outlet by the hand washing sink uncovered, you covered it upon my request. The activity plan posted was dated March 11, 2024, you printed and posted a current plan. The dramatic play interest center was observed with a few pretend silverware, three dress up vests, two hats and few dishes.

Two NC Pre K classrooms are in operation at this location. Upon my arrival they were both lining up their groups for outdoor time. I walked with group 1 to the playgrounds and observed both groups during outdoor play. While outdoors I observed the boarder wall around the fall zone of the stationary equipment in poor repair, one boarder was observed cracked with a hole and several of the boarder pegs were sticking up causing tripping hazards and protrusions. Staff were observed moving about the play area monitoring children as they played. Monthly playground inspections were observed completed, however there was no proof on file that the person who conducted the inspections has completed Playground Safety Training. Back in the classrooms children and staff were observed washing hands. After hand washing, I observed lunch, hand washing again, large group time and rest time.

A checklist was used to monitor the facility. Upon my arrival I was greeted by Angel Lennon, LT for one of the NC Pre K classrooms, and the point of contact while on site. Two NC Pre K classrooms are in operation at this location. Upon my arrival they were both lining up their groups for outdoor time. I walked with group 1 to the playgrounds and observed both groups during outdoor play. While outdoors I observed the boarder wall around the fall zone of the stationary equipment in poor repair, one boarder was observed cracked with a hole and several of the boarder pegs were sticking up causing tripping hazards and protrusions. Staff were observed moving about the play area monitoring children as they played. Monthly playground inspections were observed completed, however there was no proof on file that the person who conducted the inspections has completed Playground Safety Training. Back in the classrooms children and staff were observed washing hands. After hand washing, I observed lunch, hand washing again, large group time and rest time. Supervision and NC Pre K staff/child ratio was observed meeting compliance. I monitored both classrooms. In B1 I observed one outlet by the hand washing sink uncovered, you covered it upon my request. The activity plan posted was dated March 11, 2024, you printed and posted a current plan. The dramatic play interest center was observed with a few pretend silverware, three dress up vests, two hats and few dishes. There was not enough material in the interest center and I asked where the material was, I was informed it was in the cabinet and you brought out more material during rest time. The other classroom was observed meeting compliance. Interest centers were well defined. I was provided a licensing notebook to review. The staff and training worksheet was not complete, I completed it based on information provided to me today in the notebook. The emergency information forms for all staff were outdated, over a year old and one staff didn’t have one on file. No staff completed the required health and safety trainings within their first year of hire. One staff does not have proof of completing CPR and First Aid certification, nor did she complete the required recognizing and responding to suspicions of maltreatment training. Two staff did not have proof of reviewing the current CMS crisis plan (EPR plan) or the emergency care plan. All staff are listed on the Public-School Off-site Verification Form for Staff Records. I reviewed the Public School Off Site Verification form for Children’s records, only 30 children are listed and it was reported the 35 children are currently enrolled. The last fire inspection on file is dated 4/12/22. You checked with the front office and they could not locate a current fire inspection. You are required to obtain an annual fire inspection, meaning each year a fire inspection is required to be conducted and passed. The emergency drill log was reviewed and found meeting compliance. The last sanitation inspection was conducted on 10-30-2023. It was reported that neither group have children enrolled that require medication.
