A checklist was used to monitor your facility and was provided for your records at the end of the visit. The current 4 star rated license was issued in 2019. The current 18 month compliance history prior to today's visit was 94%. I met with Phyllis Pauling, Site Coordinator, upon my arrival. I arrived before the school age children were dismissed to the program. We were able to talk and you provided me with the licensing notebook you have organized with records. I reviewed children, staff, and program records while you and two group leaders set up centers in the media center and Art Room, both approved spaces. The current Public School Off Site Verification Forms for Staff Records, Children Records and Transportation were current and on file. You completed Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions or Maltreatment last in March 2019 and should have completed it again by March 2024, as it is part of required health and safety trainings you must complete within 5 years of last completion while you remain employed with CMS ASEP. All other information was observed meeting compliance. The last fire inspection was conducted on 8/21/23. The last sanitation inspection was conducted on 11/7/23. Information required to be posted was observed posted on the ASEP bulletin board outside the ASEP office. The emergency drill log, incident log and monthly playground inspections were reviewed and found meeting compliance. Each group set up interest centers for children to utilize, group 2 has center time in the media room, group 1 has center play in the Art room. The current activity plans and daily schedule were posted on the ASEP board and found meeting compliance. Material was observed in good repair and developmentally appropriate for the ages served. I reviewed daily attendance where you log in arrival, parents sign children out at the door, you ensure they document the time they leave. For outdoor gross motor space you use used the field and stationary equipment outside the cafeteria during today's visit. One staff checked the playgrounds prior to children's arrival. While outdoors children played on the stationary equipment and adjoining field. One staff was monitoring the stationary equipment area while the other monitored play on the fields. I observed 7 pegs protruding up on the boarder wall holding in the mulch around the stationary equipment. They were sticking up enough to cause tripping hazards. I observed children's arrival to the program, hand washing, outdoor time, and snack. Supervision and enhanced staff/child ratios were observed being maintained today. Nurturing tones were heard when staff greeted children at arrival and throughout the observation. The current menu was reviewed and found meeting compliance, snack served today followed the current menu. You reported currently you do not have any children required to have medication administered. No violations were cited during today's visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children. Indoors were found meeting compliance. Outdoors I observed 7 pegs on the boarders surrounding the mulch for fall zone of the stationary equipment were observed sticking out some causing a tripping hazard and protrusion. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(a) 1899 Health and safety training topics were not included as part of on-going training within five years of completing the previous health and safety training topics. One staff did not complete Recognizing and Responding of Suspicions of Maltreatment within 5 years of last completion. She completed the training last on 3/19/19. .1103(b) Compliance Statement: Childcare providers are expected to maintain compliance with all applicable child care requirements at all times. All violations cited today shall be corrected immediately. Phyllis Pauling, program coordinator, will email a compliance letter explaining how each violation cited today has been corrected. The compliance letter must be received by the consultant, andrea.anderson@dhhs.nc.gov, on or before June 10, 2024 due to the school year ended and she taking the summer off. 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. Technical Assistance was provided on the following: Safe Environment Outdoors: I encourage you to talk to your custodial staff and principal, to see if they can assist you in maintaining compliance with the boarder wall. As the ground settles and children play on in the area the pegs holding the boarders down start pulling up. When you see this happening you need to hammer them back down. Make sure you are checking them daily, weekly and monthly as you check the playground for use to ensure compliance is maintained. Health and Safety Trainings: I shared the DCDEE Health and Safety Training log, as I think it is easier to use then the one CMS ASEP provides you each year. All the topic areas are listed on the log that are required to be completed the 1st year of employment and within every 5 years you remain employed with CMS ASEP. You didn't realize Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Maltreatment was one of the topic you needed to complete at least every 5 years. I reminded you that you take that training from NC Prevent Child Abuse website. https://www.preventchildabusenc.org/ Rated License Reassessment: The current 4 Star rated license was issued 11-19-19. 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. Reassessment for your facility will be during Cohort 1. Cohort 2: Planning year runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Reassessment year runs from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. If interested in having the SACERS-U conducted as part of the reassessment and to maintain at least 4 points in program standards can request one during the planning year as a practice run. If you score above a 5.0 it can be used during the reassessment year. If you score below a 5.0 during the planning year, you can decide if you want to complete the assessment during the reassessment year at no charge and that score will be used to determine the program points of the rated license.
