Health and sanitation checklists were emailed to the Director during the visit. We discussed creating a checklist for the facility so that staff are aware of the responsibilities and expectations for their classroom. -Lines must be kept clean and washed weekly or when soiled. In space #3, the teacher in the classroom responded that she was unsure of when the linens were washed. I suggest reviewing procedures with all staff. -Incident logs must be completed each time an incident report is completed. The log must be cumulative, maintained in a separate file and available for review by a representative of DCDEE. The facility’s current procedure is for each classroom teacher to complete the log and keep in the classroom. However, during today’s visit each classroom did not have a cumulative log. I suggest keeping one notebook for the facility and having teachers log the incident reports in the log when they submit the incident report to the administrators. The emergency medical care information shall be on file in the center on the child's first day of attendance and shall be updated as changes occur and at least annually. The Director reported that the corporation will be sending out information to families in July to update applications and emergency medical care information. I reminded the Director that emergency information will need to be updated now. The program’s 18-month compliance history after today’s visit was 82%. I encourage you to utilize the North Carolina Rated License Project’s (NCRLAP) website for information, resources and training related to the Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale 3rd Edition and the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale- 3rd Edition at www.ncrlap.org. The Director reported that the facility is working with Child Care Resources, Inc. I encourage you to also utilize DCDEE’s website on a regular basis for updated information regarding rules and regulations, etc. DCDEE’s website address is https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/. 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.
