Quality Enhancement and/or Technical Assistance Discussions: During today’s visit a single trampoline was observed in the outdoor play area. Ms. Wright was reminded the equipment must be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During today’s visit we discussed the importance of reviewing all paperwork that parents complete and give her, to ensure nothing is left blank or complete. With all Medical Plans it is very important that you read the plan to ensure you understand the dosage and medication information. Ms. Wright stated the Food Program rep. came for her first visit earlier this morning. We discussed developing cycle menus. (at least three months of menus) Ms. Wright was encouraged to pre-prepare her meals the evening before, so she only must warm up the plated foods before serving children. This will assist Ms. Wright in maintaining adequate supervision of children. Today, we discussed and reviewed child care rules related to custody orders and adequate supervision of children in a FCCH. 10A NCAC 09 .1710 PARENTAL ACCESS TO THE FAMILY CHILD CARE HOME (a) The family child care home operator shall not knowingly permit a person on the premises of a family child care home who has been convicted of a "reportable conviction" as defined in G.S. 14-208.6(4).

The parent shall notify the operator of his or her presence upon entering the premises. (c) Parents subject to court orders related to custody of a child enrolled in a family child care home shall only be allowed access to the home in accordance with the court order. Today, we discussed the following rule regarding activity plans and schedule. 10A NCAC 09 .1711 SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN IN A FAMILY CHILD CARE HOME (a) Children shall be adequately supervised at all times in a family child care home. "Adequate supervision" shall mean that: (1) For pre-school age children, the family child care home operator shall be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize his or her ability to hear and see the children at all times and render immediate assistance; (2) For school-age children, the operator shall be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize his or her ability to hear or see the children at all times and render immediate assistance; (3) The operator shall interact with the children while moving about the indoor or outdoor area; and (4) For children of all ages: (A) the operator shall know where each child is located and be aware of children's activities at all times; (B) the operator shall provide supervision according to the individual age, needs, and capabilities of each child; (C) all of the conditions in this Paragraph shall apply except when emergencies necessitate that adequate supervision is impossible. Written documentation of emergencies stating the date, time, and reason shall be maintained and available for review by Division representatives upon request; and (D) for children who are sleeping or napping, the operator shall not be required to visually supervise them but shall be able to hear and respond without delay to them. Children shall not sleep or nap in a room with a closed door between the children and the operator. The operator shall be on the same level as the home where children are sleeping or napping. (b) Nothing contained in this Rule shall be construed to preclude a "qualified person with a disability, "as defined by G.S. 168A-3(9), or a "qualified individual," as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act at 42 U.S.C. 12111(8), from working in a licensed child care facility. 10A NCAC 09 .1718 REQUIREMENTS FOR DAILY OPERATIONS (a) The family child care home operator (operator or operators) shall provide the following on a daily basis for all children in care: (6) Developmentally appropriate activities as planned on a written schedule and activity plan.

(D) Provide materials and opportunities at least weekly, indoors or outdoors, for the following: (i) music and rhythm; (ii) science and nature; and (iii) sand and water play. Ms. Wright and I discussed and reviewed the QRIS Modernization Pathways. 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. If you choose Pathway #1, we will need to request the scales no later than September 3, 2026. 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. We reviewed each pathway today during the visit. Ms. Wright and I scheduled a TEAMS on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 12:30. Operational Policies – Ms. Wright’s policies were approved by the lead consultant, Amy Italiano during the prelicensing phase. We discussed adding a clause that informs families the FCCH’s policies and procedures can be amended at any time. Ms. Wright understands the facility must hold a 3-5 Star Rated License at the end of the temporary time period to continue providing child care for sponsored children. You must maintain at least a 75% or higher Compliance History to be eligible to apply for a child care license. Your Compliance History will be built over an 18-month period. The compliance history is based on violations that are cited during visits to your facility. If you have an acceptable compliance history at the end of your six-month temporary license you will be eligible to apply for a star rated license. You must maintain at least a 75% or higher compliance history to maintain your star license. If your facility's compliance history drops below 75% you may receive administrative action. Health and Safety Training must be completed within one year of licensure and every five years thereafter. There are eleven (11) required topic areas. Make sure you are clear as to the required topics that encompass the H & S training. You can access these training courses for free on DCDEE’s website www.ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov by going to Provider, Professional Training, and DCDEE Moodle. Stay updated with changes and new rule updates by visiting the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/. Thank you for your time today. If you have any questions or I can help you with anything please free to contact me at 704-594-0140, or email me at mara.brinton@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).

Quality Enhancement and/or Technical Assistance Discussions: During today’s visit a single trampoline was observed in the outdoor play area. Ms. Wright was reminded the equipment must be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During today’s visit we discussed the importance of reviewing all paperwork that parents complete and give her, to ensure nothing is left blank or complete. With all Medical Plans it is very important that you read the plan to ensure you understand the dosage and medication information. Ms. Wright stated the Food Program rep. came for her first visit earlier this morning. We discussed developing cycle menus. (at least three months of menus) Ms. Wright was encouraged to pre-prepare her meals the evening before, so she only must warm up the plated foods before serving children. This will assist Ms. Wright in maintaining adequate supervision of children. Today, we discussed and reviewed child care rules related to custody orders and adequate supervision of children in a FCCH. 10A NCAC 09 .1710 PARENTAL ACCESS TO THE FAMILY CHILD CARE HOME (a) The family child care home operator shall not knowingly permit a person on the premises of a family child care home who has been convicted of a "reportable conviction" as defined in G.S. 14-208.6(4).

The parent shall notify the operator of his or her presence upon entering the premises. (c) Parents subject to court orders related to custody of a child enrolled in a family child care home shall only be allowed access to the home in accordance with the court order. Today, we discussed the following rule regarding activity plans and schedule. 10A NCAC 09 .1711 SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN IN A FAMILY CHILD CARE HOME (a) Children shall be adequately supervised at all times in a family child care home. "Adequate supervision" shall mean that: (1) For pre-school age children, the family child care home operator shall be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize his or her ability to hear and see the children at all times and render immediate assistance; (2) For school-age children, the operator shall be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize his or her ability to hear or see the children at all times and render immediate assistance; (3) The operator shall interact with the children while moving about the indoor or outdoor area; and (4) For children of all ages: (A) the operator shall know where each child is located and be aware of children's activities at all times; (B) the operator shall provide supervision according to the individual age, needs, and capabilities of each child; (C) all of the conditions in this Paragraph shall apply except when emergencies necessitate that adequate supervision is impossible. Written documentation of emergencies stating the date, time, and reason shall be maintained and available for review by Division representatives upon request; and (D) for children who are sleeping or napping, the operator shall not be required to visually supervise them but shall be able to hear and respond without delay to them. Children shall not sleep or nap in a room with a closed door between the children and the operator. The operator shall be on the same level as the home where children are sleeping or napping. (b) Nothing contained in this Rule shall be construed to preclude a "qualified person with a disability, "as defined by G.S. 168A-3(9), or a "qualified individual," as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act at 42 U.S.C. 12111(8), from working in a licensed child care facility. 10A NCAC 09 .1718 REQUIREMENTS FOR DAILY OPERATIONS (a) The family child care home operator (operator or operators) shall provide the following on a daily basis for all children in care: (6) Developmentally appropriate activities as planned on a written schedule and activity plan.

(B) Identify activities that allow children to choose to participate with the whole group, part of the group, or independent of the group; (C) Reflect that children have at least four different activities daily, at least one of which is outdoors, if weather conditions permit, as specified in G.S. 110-91(12) as follows: (i) art and other creative play; (ii) children's books; (iii) blocks and block building; (iv) manipulatives; and (v) family living and dramatic play. (D) Provide materials and opportunities at least weekly, indoors or outdoors, for the following: (i) music and rhythm; (ii) science and nature; and (iii) sand and water play. Ms. Wright and I discussed and reviewed the QRIS Modernization Pathways. 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. If you choose Pathway #1, we will need to request the scales no later than September 3, 2026. 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. We reviewed each pathway today during the visit. Ms. Wright and I scheduled a TEAMS on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 12:30. Operational Policies – Ms. Wright’s policies were approved by the lead consultant, Amy Italiano during the prelicensing phase. We discussed adding a clause that informs families the FCCH’s policies and procedures can be amended at any time. Ms. Wright understands the facility must hold a 3-5 Star Rated License at the end of the temporary time period to continue providing child care for sponsored children. You must maintain at least a 75% or higher Compliance History to be eligible to apply for a child care license. Your Compliance History will be built over an 18-month period. The compliance history is based on violations that are cited during visits to your facility. If you have an acceptable compliance history at the end of your six-month temporary license you will be eligible to apply for a star rated license. You must maintain at least a 75% or higher compliance history to maintain your star license. If your facility's compliance history drops below 75% you may receive administrative action. Health and Safety Training must be completed within one year of licensure and every five years thereafter. There are eleven (11) required topic areas. Make sure you are clear as to the required topics that encompass the H & S training. You can access these training courses for free on DCDEE’s website www.ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov by going to Provider, Professional Training, and DCDEE Moodle. Stay updated with changes and new rule updates by visiting the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/. Thank you for your time today. If you have any questions or I can help you with anything please free to contact me at 704-594-0140, or email me at mara.brinton@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

Quality Enhancement and/or Technical Assistance Discussions: During today’s visit a single trampoline was observed in the outdoor play area. Ms. Wright was reminded the equipment must be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During today’s visit we discussed the importance of reviewing all paperwork that parents complete and give her, to ensure nothing is left blank or complete. With all Medical Plans it is very important that you read the plan to ensure you understand the dosage and medication information. Ms. Wright stated the Food Program rep. came for her first visit earlier this morning. We discussed developing cycle menus. (at least three months of menus) Ms. Wright was encouraged to pre-prepare her meals the evening before, so she only must warm up the plated foods before serving children. This will assist Ms. Wright in maintaining adequate supervision of children. Today, we discussed and reviewed child care rules related to custody orders and adequate supervision of children in a FCCH. 10A NCAC 09 .1710 PARENTAL ACCESS TO THE FAMILY CHILD CARE HOME (a) The family child care home operator shall not knowingly permit a person on the premises of a family child care home who has been convicted of a "reportable conviction" as defined in G.S. 14-208.6(4).

The parent shall notify the operator of his or her presence upon entering the premises. (c) Parents subject to court orders related to custody of a child enrolled in a family child care home shall only be allowed access to the home in accordance with the court order.

Written documentation of emergencies stating the date, time, and reason shall be maintained and available for review by Division representatives upon request; and (D) for children who are sleeping or napping, the operator shall not be required to visually supervise them but shall be able to hear and respond without delay to them. Children shall not sleep or nap in a room with a closed door between the children and the operator. The operator shall be on the same level as the home where children are sleeping or napping. (b) Nothing contained in this Rule shall be construed to preclude a "qualified person with a disability, "as defined by G.S. 168A-3(9), or a "qualified individual," as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act at 42 U.S.C. 12111(8), from working in a licensed child care facility. 10A NCAC 09 .1718 REQUIREMENTS FOR DAILY OPERATIONS (a) The family child care home operator (operator or operators) shall provide the following on a daily basis for all children in care: (6) Developmentally appropriate activities as planned on a written schedule and activity plan.

Ms. Wright and I discussed and reviewed the QRIS Modernization Pathways. 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. If you choose Pathway #1, we will need to request the scales no later than September 3, 2026. 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. We reviewed each pathway today during the visit. Ms. Wright and I scheduled a TEAMS on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 12:30. Operational Policies – Ms. Wright’s policies were approved by the lead consultant, Amy Italiano during the prelicensing phase. We discussed adding a clause that informs families the FCCH’s policies and procedures can be amended at any time. Ms. Wright understands the facility must hold a 3-5 Star Rated License at the end of the temporary time period to continue providing child care for sponsored children. You must maintain at least a 75% or higher Compliance History to be eligible to apply for a child care license. Your Compliance History will be built over an 18-month period. The compliance history is based on violations that are cited during visits to your facility. If you have an acceptable compliance history at the end of your six-month temporary license you will be eligible to apply for a star rated license. You must maintain at least a 75% or higher compliance history to maintain your star license. If your facility's compliance history drops below 75% you may receive administrative action. Health and Safety Training must be completed within one year of licensure and every five years thereafter. There are eleven (11) required topic areas. Make sure you are clear as to the required topics that encompass the H & S training. You can access these training courses for free on DCDEE’s website www.ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov by going to Provider, Professional Training, and DCDEE Moodle. Stay updated with changes and new rule updates by visiting the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/. Thank you for your time today. If you have any questions or I can help you with anything please free to contact me at 704-594-0140, or email me at mara.brinton@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).
