Licensing Supervisor, Amy Italiano, accompanied me during the visit. The FCCH facility’s temporary license was issued on March 9, 2026, with a restriction of first shift, children on ground level only, and fireplace not in use during operating hours. This was the first visit during the facility’s temporary license period. Owner, Regina Moore, was present with one child, aged three years. During this visit, we observed the indoor and outdoor environment, and completed a full assessment of the licensed space. The child was observed and engaged in free center play, activities, and personal care routines. Ms. Moore was engaged in a positive nurturing way with the children. There were age-appropriate materials for children use. Program records, including fire drills and monthly outdoor area inspections were complete and current. The provider’s records were found in compliance. Ms. Moore has a current WORKS letter in the file. One child’s record was monitored with missing a medical and one (1) violation was cited. Ms. Moore and I discussed that her EPR needs to be completed no later than July 24, 2026. If there are any issues with completing the EPR plan in the portal system, please reach out to the Community Health Nurse, Lawanda Heggins. The EPR plan will need to be completed in the NC Risk Management Portal and your EPR plan will need to be available for review with the Ready to Go File components. The last sanitation inspection was completed on January 8, 2026, with zero demerits cited. One (1) violation was cited and discussed with the provider during the visit. Corrective Action The child care providers are expected to maintain compliance with all applicable child care requirements at all times. All violations cited today must be corrected immediately. Ms. Moore will submit a letter of compliance explaining how and when today’s violations were corrected to Mara Brinton, Child Care Consultant, on or before May 5, 2026. Failure to correct the violations and/or submit the compliance letter to me by the date listed above may result in an unannounced follow-up visit being conducted to ensure corrections were made. Violation Number Comment Rule 910 Copy of each child's health assessment, including the operator's own preschool child(ren), was not on file within 30 days of enrollment. One enrolled child did not have a medical on file within 30 days of enrollment. GS 110-91(1); 10A NCAC 09.1721(a)(1) Quality Enhancement and/or Technical Assistance Discussions 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. Moore 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 June 9, 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. Moore and I will be scheduled a TEAMS on Monday, June 1, 2026, at 1:30 PM. Operational Policies – Ms. Moore policies were approved in March 2026. Ms. Moore 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.
