    Name of Operation: CHARLOTTE JEWISH PRESCHOOL Facility ID: 60002999 Consultant: KAYE DUNLAP Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0924-304L Visit Date: 9/30/2024 Number Present: 181 Completed Date: 9/30/2024 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 275 Time In: 10:20 AM Time Out: 02:55 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to investigate a report alleging violations of child care requirements. Allegation: There is concern that a child was not adequately supervised. I met with B. Green, Executive Director and E. Goldstein, Operations and Programming Director regarding the allegation. Per Ms. Green and Ms. Goldstein, on September 3, 2024, a staff member left a group of twelve children three years of age unsupervised as she intermittently left the classroom to get thirteen cots from the hallway. The cots were located outside the classroom door. The same staff member also brought a chair into the hallway and had a child three years of age push the chair up and down the hallway in an effort to make the child tired so the child would rest at nap time. The child in the hallway was not left unsupervised as there were other staff members in the hallway that were aware of what was going on. The staff member reported to the Administrators and other staff members that witnessed the incident that she was following directions from the child’s parent and not to help the child. After approximately five minutes, a staff member helped the child push the chair back to the classroom door and the child entered the classroom. The staff member was terminated immediately once the Administrators were notified by another staff member and were able to watch the incident via the facility’s cameras. I also viewed the video footage during today’s visit. A conversation was held with Ms. Green and Ms. Goldstein regarding the facility’s supervision and discipline policy/procedures. Both stated the staff member did not follow the facility’s policy/procedures. There was a total of seven staff members that witnessed the incident as well as two custodial staff members. Ms. Green stated that she had an informal meeting with each staff member to discuss the incident and steps that should be taken when they witness something they feel is inappropriate. Based on today’s discussion with the Administrators and review of video footage, the allegation in this report is deemed substantiated. A walk through was conducted with the Administrators today, children were observed participating in transitions, circle time, teacher-directed art activities and free choice of indoor and outdoor activities. The facility was in compliance with supervision, staff/child ratios, group size and approved space. The following violations were cited. Violation Number Comment Rule 303 Children were not adequately supervised at all times. In space #114, a staff member left a group of twelve children three years of age unsupervised while she retrieved thirteen cots one at a time from the hallway. .1801(a)(1-5) 907 Discipline was related to food, rest or toileting. In space #114, a staff member made a child push a chair up and down the hallway for approximately five minutes as a form of behavior management to ensure the child would rest during naptime. .1803(a)(4-6) 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 violations documented may impact the compliance history score. The violations documented must be corrected immediately. On or before October 14, 2024, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is considered legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit may be completed. Mail or email the information to: Kaye Dunlap, Child Care Consultant PO Box 627 Matthews, NC 28106 Kaye.Dunlap@dhhs.nc.gov The following technical assistance was provided: During discussions regarding the facility’s discipline and supervision policies, I asked if both policies had been reviewed with the staff since the incident occurred. A suggestion was made to address both in a mandatory staff meeting. Ms. Green and Ms. Goldstein stated they would hold a meeting October 3, 2024, and both policies would be part of the agenda. I explained that since the allegation regarding supervision was substantiated an Administrative Action may be issued. Administrative Actions can be found in 10A NCAC 09 .2200 of the child care requirements. Thank you for your time today. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at 704-594-0152 or by email at kaye.dunlap@dhhs.nc.gov. 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

A lockdown drill is defined in 10A NCAC 09 .0102(29) "Lockdown drill" means an emergency safety procedure in which occupants of the facility remain in a locked indoor space and is used when emergency personnel or law enforcement determine a dangerous person is in the vicinity.

It involves selecting a small interior room, with no or few windows, and used when emergency personnel or law enforcement determine there is an environmental or weather related threat. 10A NCAC 09 .0604(u) A "shelter in place drill" or "lockdown drill" as defined in 10A NCAC 09 .0102 shall be conducted at least every three months and records shall be maintained as required by 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(8). 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(8) records of lockdown or shelter-in-place drills as defined in 10A NCAC 09 .0102, giving the date each drill was held, the time of day, the length of time taken to get into designated locations and the signature of the person who conducted the drill.

We discussed reviewing material staff bring into the classrooms for use, to ensure they are items you want children enrolled to use while in care. Reminders: Update your EPR plan with Ms. Dunlap's information. Other: We observed pacifiers stored in each child's container as diaper creams/sunscreens; you have just had a sanitation inspection and it was not mentioned during that inspection.
