The last annual compliance visit for this facility was conducted on June 16, 2025. The compliance history percentage for the 18-month period is 92%. The facility currently holds a five-star license. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Ms. Kayla Young, substitute. Ms. Towanda White-Miller, Administrator arrived soon after. I shared the reason for the visit and Ms. White-Miller assisted me with the visit. The Secretary of State’s website was monitored and South Atlantic Conference of Seventh Day Adventist was current and active.

I observed the children engaged in choice activities, table activity with puzzles and transitioning to outdoor play time. Two (2) staff files and one (1) child’s files were monitored during the visit for compliance with NC Childcare Rules.

The last sanitation inspection was conducted on 2/13/26 with thirteen (13) demerits and a superior classification. The last fire inspection was conducted on 4/28/25.
