A checklist was used and given to the caregiver/owner. Today’s visit was conducted with Ms. King. Ms. King currently operates a four-star facility and stated that she is interested in reapplying for the rated license (RL). In September 2022, we started the RL process, and I did not receive all required documents to properly complete the reassessment. Children were observed playing in centers with dramatic play, blocks and fine motor toys. Children were served noodles with ground beef, milk, and grilled cheese sandwich. Snack will consist of corn, crackers and pineapples. Routines for diapering, transitioning from eating to play and nap were all observed today. INSPECTIONS: The last documented fire drill was conducted 8-29-23. The last documented shelter-in-place or lockdown drill was conducted 8-29-23. The last documented playground inspection was conducted 8-28-23 The compliance percentage prior to this visit was 85%. I monitored the following items today: Supervision, Staff/child ratio, health, transportation, safety, program, and management, children’s files, and staff files. Transportation was monitored, but transportation is currently not being provided. Rated License: The provider stated that she plans to. Provide transportation in the future. A copy of the RL reapplication was given, completed by the provider, and returned to the consultant. Once the self-study is received the provider will remain a four-Star facility. She will have two points in programming, seven points in education and one quality point.

NC GS 110-90(4)(d) requires all child care facilities to maintain a compliance history score of at least 75% for the past 18 months or during the length of time the facility has operated, whichever is less. Failure to do so may result in the issuance of a provisional license or other administrative action. Violations cited today may negatively affect this score. On February 24th, NC opened vaccinations to child care staff. This means your staff are eligible, but it does not guarantee a vaccination as there is a limited supply. In view of this, DCDEE has collaborated with CCR&R and Smart Start to assist child care facilities. CCR&R staff will be contacting child care programs to ensure they have information about vaccination events in their respective areas and Smart Start staff are working with local vaccine providers to help make sure they’re ready to give shots to child care staff. For more information, please refer to the “How Child Care Programs Can Help Get Child Care Staff Vaccinated” page on the DCDEE website, under the Coronavirus Information tab. This will provide more information and helpful resources as you prepare to get your spot to take your shot.
