The last annual compliance visit was conducted on 09/22/22. The facility is currently operating with a Five Star Rated License issued on 10/07/21 and had an eighteen (18) month compliance history score of 83% prior to today’s visit. The June 2022 Child Care Center Item Number Listing and the March 2023 Annual Compliance Checklist were used to monitor today. Upon arrival I was greeted by Ms. R. Hudson, owner/operator, and I explained the purpose of my visit. Ms. Hudson was present with nine (9) enrolled preschool children and one additional staff person, Ms. A. Brooks, when I arrived. There are a total of eleven (11) preschool children enrolled on first shift and there are currently no children enrolled on second shift. Children were observed in free play activities, group time, transitional activities, outdoor learning and personal care routines. I monitored the child care room, the kitchen, the bathroom and the outdoor learning environment. During the walk through the child care room it was observed that there was an activity plan posted for the preschool children present in the program but there was not one available for infants or toddlers. I brought this to Ms. Hudson’s attention and Ms. Brooks shared that she had been working on updating the one for the younger children. She was able to complete this process and post it during the walk through. Both the bathroom and kitchen were found to be in compliance. While monitoring the outdoor learning environment it was observed that there were two pieces of metal stationary play equipment with rust accessible to children. I shared with Ms. Hudson that this needs to either be corrected immediately or made inaccessible to children to until the repairs have been made. It was also observed that there were two large spider webs and a bird’s nest inside the shade covering of the sliding board structure. We discussed that both pose a safety issue to children playing in that area and need to be corrected immediately or made inaccessible to children until the issues have been resolved. I reviewed two (2) staff files and each had current CPR, First Aid, and Criminal Background Checks (CBC). I informed Ms. Brooks that her IT-SIDS certification had expired on August 17, 2023 and that she is currently out of compliance. She needs to register as soon as possible to take this training and become current. I also shared with Ms. Hudson that her IT-SIDS certification is due to expired on September 23, 2023 and she would need to register as soon as possible to stay compliant. Three (3) children’s files were reviewed, and it was observed that each child did not have a signed/dated statement acknowledging the receipt of the NC Summary of Law. One (1) child’s file contained an application that did not have all the required information and was missing a signed/dated statement from parents about receiving the center’s Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy, as well as notification of the policy’s smoking and tobacco restriction in writing. It was also observed that two (2) children did not have signed permission from their parent for participation in off premise activities that occur on a regular basis and one (1) child parent’s statement regarding the center’s Discipline Policy did not include all the required information. I observed arrival and departure times documented and maintained as required. Program records were monitored. Fire and emergency drills were monitored and found to be compliant. The monthly playground inspections were monitored and found to be conducted as required. Adequate supervision and capacity were observed in compliance today. There are currently no medications being stored on site. The facility does not provide transportation but there is a vehicle onsite for emergency use. The last annual Sanitation Inspection was conducted on 03/30/23 with a rating of Superior and 9 demerits. The last annual Fire Inspection was conducted on 03/09/23. The center’s incident logs and copies of the incident reports were monitored in each applicable child’s file.
