Upon arrival at the three-star rated licensed FCCH, the operator Ms. Donna Massey greeted me at the front door. Her daughter, Ms. Taylor, was in the child care room with four infants (three months, eight months, 2-ten-month-olds). The child care item number listing dated May 2026 was used to identify and determine non-compliance. The following sections were monitored for compliance: A1, B1, C4, C5, C6, E1, E2, F3, G1, G3, G4 and G5. A walk through of the residence, the kitchen and outdoor area were monitored for compliance. Children were observed engaged in tummy time, drinking bottles and playing with handheld toys on the floor with Ms. Taylor. Ms. Donna’s and Taylor’s documentation of CPR did not meet requirements because the issued CPR card only listed BLS Provider with CPR and AED. Additional modules for child and infants were not listed on the issued card. Ms. Donna stated the infant or child CPR was covered during the class. Ms. Donna will need to reach out to the trainer who completed the training and request the additional modules that were covered be printed on the issued card. Violations were not cited because Ms. Donna and Ms. Taylor obtained the required training. The documentation does not indicate the required population of children/infants. Ms. Donna will contact the training to get the cards re-issued. Monthly outdoor inspections, incident log, monthly fire drills and quarterly safety drills were monitored documented and current. The center’s printed EPR plan and Ready to Go File were monitored printed. The FCCH and Centers Located in a Residence Verification of Required Information for Operators and Additional Caregivers form were reviewed. The operator’s dog rabies vaccination expired June 16, 2026. Ms. Donna stated having difficulty with reaching the vet to schedule the appointment. She communicated, trying for over a week to reach the vet. The appointment is scheduled for Saturday, June 27, 2026. Ms. Donna was asked to email me the rabies documentation upon receipt. The ABCMS report was run and verified as current. No medications were monitored maintained on site for children. The last sanitation inspection was completed July 23, 2025, with six (6) demerits cited and a Superior classification issued. The FCCH drinking/cooking water faucet was evaluated for lead, February 13, 2024. There were not any modifications or issues noted in the findings. The FCCH residence was also evaluated for asbestos on May 2, 2024, with no findings. Dry walls and paint were also tested for lead on May 2, 2024. As a friendly reminder, testing is required every three years. Violation Number Comment Rule 907 Written record of up-to-date pet vaccinations as required by NC law and local ordinances, including rabies vaccination for dogs and cats, was not available. The household pet did not have current rabies vaccination record on file. The vaccination expired 6/16/2026. .1719(b)(1) Technical Assistance Provided and General Discussion: We discussed Pathway #2 and where the provider was in process. Ms. Donna has downloaded an approved curriculum Early Learning Matters (ELM) through Purdue University for birth -36 months. There are two blocks/unit per month printed and organized in a binder. Ms. Donna and Ms. Taylor will need to obtain training in the curriculum and an approved formative assessment. Ms. Donna has developed a curriculum book and has begun ensuring all required or needed materials are on site to fully implement the curriculum. Ms. Donna informed me she will have a medical procedure towards the end of August 2026. We will touch bases in September 2026. We discussed completing the family and community engagement form, and individual CQI goal/professional development forms completed. Current CCRI flyers were emailed to the provider regarding current programs. As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted.

Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before July 9, 2026. I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail how and when the violations were corrected.

Children were observed engaged eating oatmeal, bananas and sweet peas and the toddler ate meat chili with beans with bananas. An infant was monitored placed down in a crib to sleep. The infant was given handheld toys to aid in soothing the infant. The infant fell asleep, and the handheld toys were left in the crib with the infant until Ms. Donna prompted her daughter to remove the toys. We reviewed the posted FCCH ITS-SIDS policy and discussed the infant crib is only to be utilized for sleeping. Monthly outdoor inspections, incident log, monthly fire drills and quarterly safety drills were monitored documented and current. The center’s printed EPR plan and Ready to Go File were monitored printed. The monitored Ready to Go File was missing blank incident reports and a current child’s allergy list. It was explained that during the annual EPR portal review if no information changes, Ms. Donna only would need to print off page 28 (tracks the date anyone was in the portal system to show a review was completed annually). The EPR Ready to Go File Checklist was emailed to Ms. Massey during the visit. The FCCH and Centers Located in a Residence Verification of Required Information for Operators and Additional Caregivers form was completed.

As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted.
