The facility was currently operating with a Five Star License issued on June 13, 2018 and had an eighteen (18) month compliance history score of 88% prior to today’s visit. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on January 30, 2024. The November 2024 Center Item Number Listing and March 2023 Annual Compliance Checklist were used to monitor today. The license and NC Summary of the Law were prominently posted. Upon arrival I was greeted by Ms. Demerye Shingler, Director, and I explained the purpose of the visit. Ms. Shingler accompanied me on the walkthrough. All classrooms and auxiliary spaces were monitored. Toddlers were observed eating lunch/snack. Teachers were observed next to children as they ate. The food served reflected what was listed on the posted menu. Lunch and snack met nutrition requirements. Preschool aged children were observed participating in large group activities that included an art activity and story time. Each classroom was well organized with plentiful amounts of materials and materials were observed in good repair. I observed evidence of the curriculum and current lesson plan being implemented. Infants were observed being fed, diapered and playing independently on the floor. Safe sleep checks were documented as required and feeding schedules were current, posted, and signed. Individual cribs were assigned for each child. Bottles were dated and labeled as required.

There were seventeen (17) children present today, and it was reported that eighteen (18) children were enrolled. I observed cots available for naptime for children in Meck Pre-K. Ms. Shingler and I discussed the information regarding the rest time requirement is found in law. The law does not define how long rest period has to be but that each child must be allowed a rest period. Rest time should be on a cot or mat. After 20 – 30 minutes teachers will have an idea of the children who are not going to sleep. Those children can get up and choose another quiet activity. However, if some children are sleeping teachers cannot wake them up or make them get off their cot. This requirement is for all children in licensed care. Emergency medications were monitored. If an emergency medication is stored in a hanging bag the bottom of the bag is required to be at least five feet above the floor/ground. Benadryl and prescription hydrocortisone was stored in a medicine box in Space 1. The box was locked with a child proof locking system instead of a lock and key. Medication permission, OTC and prescription are required to be completed every six (6) months. The medication permission form on file in Space 1 was for 12 months. The permission was signed within 6 months therefore no violation was cited, however the correct permission should be completed by parents. Schedules and current lesson plans were posted. We discussed lesson plans should be posted where parents and teachers can both see. The parent’s copy may be posted outside the classroom on the parent board. A copy is required to be posted in the classroom as well for teachers. Four (4) playgrounds were monitored. The kitchen was monitored and met requirements. Transportation requirements were monitored. A sampling of children’s files were monitored. The staff and training worksheet was completed by Ms. Shingler. A sampling of staff files were reviewed and all new staff files were monitored. One (1) new employee hired 8/16/24 had a CPR/First Aid training certificate from an unapproved agency. I emailed a copy of approved trainers to Ms. Shingler today and reminded her that CPR/First training was required to be taken in person. Fire Drill logs and emergency drills were monitored. Drills were completed and documented as required. Playground inspections were completed as required. The last sanitation inspection was conducted on 12/11/24 and received a superior rating.

Name of Operation: PARK ROAD BAPTIST CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER Facility ID: 6050404 Consultant: JENNIFER STANSFIELD Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 1/23/2025 Number Present: 94 Completed Date: 1/23/2025 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 370 Time In: 10:30 AM Time Out: 04:40 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Annual Comp Full Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to monitor the facility for all applicable child care requirements during the full Annual Compliance visit. The facility was currently operating with a Five Star License issued on June 13, 2018 and had an eighteen (18) month compliance history score of 88% prior to today’s visit. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on January 30, 2024. The November 2024 Center Item Number Listing and March 2023 Annual Compliance Checklist were used to monitor today. The license and NC Summary of the Law were prominently posted. Upon arrival I was greeted by Ms. Demerye Shingler, Director, and I explained the purpose of the visit. Ms. Shingler accompanied me on the walkthrough. All classrooms and auxiliary spaces were monitored. Toddlers were observed eating lunch/snack. Teachers were observed next to children as they ate. The food served reflected what was listed on the posted menu. Lunch and snack met nutrition requirements. Preschool aged children were observed participating in large group activities that included an art activity and story time. Each classroom was well organized with plentiful amounts of materials and materials were observed in good repair. I observed evidence of the curriculum and current lesson plan being implemented.

Ms. Shingler and I discussed the information regarding the rest time requirement is found in law. The law does not define how long rest period has to be but that each child must be allowed a rest period. Rest time should be on a cot or mat. After 20 – 30 minutes teachers will have an idea of the children who are not going to sleep. Those children can get up and choose another quiet activity. However, if some children are sleeping teachers cannot wake them up or make them get off their cot. This requirement is for all children in licensed care. Emergency medications were monitored. If an emergency medication is stored in a hanging bag the bottom of the bag is required to be at least five feet above the floor/ground. Benadryl and prescription hydrocortisone was stored in a medicine box in Space 1. The box was locked with a child proof locking system instead of a lock and key. Medication permission, OTC and prescription are required to be completed every six (6) months. The medication permission form on file in Space 1 was for 12 months. The permission was signed within 6 months therefore no violation was cited, however the correct permission should be completed by parents. Schedules and current lesson plans were posted. We discussed lesson plans should be posted where parents and teachers can both see. The parent’s copy may be posted outside the classroom on the parent board. A copy is required to be posted in the classroom as well for teachers. Four (4) playgrounds were monitored. The kitchen was monitored and met requirements. Transportation requirements were monitored.

On or before Tuesday, February 13, 2024, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information.

Mail or email the information to: Jennifer Stansfield, Child Care Consultant PO Box 1967 Huntersville, NC 28078 jennifer.stansfield@dhhs.nc.gov If you email the compliance letter, it must be sent from the email address registered with the DCDEE (this serves as your signature) and the following information must be included: name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. Resuming Star Rated License Reassessment: The hold harmless legislation was extended and signed into law on Monday June 12th, 2023. This legislation allows facilities to remain at their current star level without a reassessment until June 30, 2024 and when reassessed it reduces the education evaluation requirements for lead teachers from 75% to 50% until June of 2026. To prepare for the reassessment process, DCDEE developed a cohort system. There are three cohorts, and each include a preparation year and a reassessment year. While the first reassessment year will not begin until July 1, 2024, the preparation year for cohort one began July 1, 2023. Your facility is in cohort 1 therefore now until June 30, 2024 is your preparation time period. I recommend you consider completing the following tasks and activities that will help prepare you for your reassessment year, which will be sometime between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025. If possible, we will align the reassessment with your annual compliance visit timeframe. • Have all staff update WORKS accounts to reflect all currently completed coursework (DCDEE-WORKS) • Determine whether you wish to have Environment Rating Scale (ERS) Assessments [ITERS-R, ECERS-R, SACERS-U, FCCERS-R] conducted • Participate in local CCR&R and NCPC quality related training/workshops (CCRR Information) • Reach out to your local Community College to discuss educational opportunities • Review NCRLAP website ERS resources (www.NCRLAP.org). To help review ERS requirements and think carefully about the current characteristics and practices in your program and classrooms, check out the Thinking More worksheets. A worksheet is available for each subscale of each rating scale. • Consider requesting an ERS assessment (free of charge) during the preparation year. Remember the scores can be used in a variety of ways o ERS assessments can be requested during the preparation year and scores can be used as guidance to enhance program quality o If desired, assessment scores can be used during the preparation year if the operator wants to move forward with a rated license reassessment o Assessment scores can be saved to use during the reassessment year o Facilities can request another ERS assessment (free of charge) in your reassessment year for any ERS assessment scoring less than a 5.0 Technical Assistance/General Comments: - Continue to check emails from DCDEE for updates. - When washing toys in the sink, make sure to clean and sanitize before using as a handwash sink. - Recommend completing compliance checks in spaces shared with the church prior to children using the shared space. - Recommend printing pictures in color for the ER identifying information in the transportation notebook. - Fire inspection reports should be emailed to the consultant within 7 days of the inspection. - At the completion of the visit, an electronic version was reviewed, signed and a copy was emailed to Ms. Shingler along with a copy of the enrollment worksheet and annual compliance checklist. Staff and training worksheets were reviewed and signed by both Ms. Shingler and the consultant, and a copy was left at the facility.
