The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days.

North Carolinas new pathway to the stars quality rating system offers three different options for childcare providers to earn or increase a star rated license. This modernization moves away from the previous point base model to give providers more flexibility and demonstrates quality. A One-star license indicates that a program meets minimum licensing requirements.

North Carolinas new pathway to the stars quality rating system offers three different options for childcare providers to earn or increase a star rated license. This modernization moves away from the previous point base model to give providers more flexibility and demonstrates quality. A One-star license indicates that a program meets minimum licensing requirements. Pathway 1 Program Assessment This pathway is the most familiar to the previous system and uses a North Carolina Rated License assessment tool to measure the overall quality of the program. This assessment will focus on standards for both the learning environment and the education qualifications of staff. Pathway 2 Classroom and Instructional Quality This pathway will emphasize a program use of specific high-quality curriculum and instructional strategies. Quality is demonstrated by a program curriculum choice which must be based on the child's developmental needs. This pathway can also include coaching and training for administrators to ensure the effective amplification of the current curriculum. Pathway 3 Accreditation and Head Start This option allows programs with specific national accreditations or head start status to automatically qualify for a three- or five-star rating.
