Your last annual compliance visit was conducted on March 9, 2023. Prior to today’s visit your compliance history was 86%. You, Courtney Bost, Director, assisted us with today’s visit. Brittany Adams, Child Care Consultant, accompanied me on today’s visit. Your facility, owned by McGill Baptist Church, was current/active as viewed on the North Carolina Secretary of State website on January 23, 2024. We observed your Four Star License, NC Child Care Summary of the Law, Safe Procedures for Arrival & Departure, Sanitation placard, Emergency Numbers, Emergency Medical Care Plan, First Aid poster, tobacco free facility signage and evacuation plans posted as required. We observed children adequately supervised during today’s visit. We observed adequate approved space use and permit restrictions requirements maintained during today’s visit. We observed children engaged in free play in activity areas, group time, indoor gross motor activities, washing hands, toileting, lunch, and transitions. We observed activity areas including books, blocks, manipulatives, dramatic play, art, science, music, writing, and cozy/quiet areas. We observed toys and equipment to be of sufficient quantity. We observed toys and equipment to be developmentally appropriate in all spaces. We observed children’s process-oriented art/work displayed throughout the classrooms and the facility. We observed bathrooms stocked with necessary supplies with handwashing procedure signs posted as required. We monitored a random selection of creams/ointments. We observed all diaper creams labeled with the name of the child. We observed two emergency medications requiring a Medical Action Plan. We monitored general safety throughout the center. We observed electrical cords secured, and outlets covered or safety outlets throughout. Outdoor areas were not monitored today due to the weather conditions. We observed drills to be current and documented as required. We observed menus posted in the kitchen. We observed the door to the kitchen to be unlocked while in use with access to the hot stove. We observed the kitchen equipped with a stove, refrigerator, and dishwashing sink. The refrigerator temperature was forty degrees Fahrenheit. We observed supplies available to provide meals for the facility in cold and dry storage. We observed monthly Outdoor Inspections documented for the past twelve months. You stated your program does not provide transportation. We monitored a random selection of eleven children’s files.

Violation Number Comment Rule 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference. A current activity plan was not posted in Spaces 2 and 6. GS 110-91(12); .0508(a) 811 Potentially hazardous items including but not limited to power tools, nails, chemicals, propane stoves, lawn mowers, gasoline, or kerosene were not stored in locked areas, removed from the premises, or made inaccessible to children. The kitchen door was not locked and the stove was in use. .0604(a) 842 A drug or medication was administered without written authorization and/or instructions from a child's parent or authorized health professional. In Space 1 there was no permission to administer form. In Spaces 2 and 6 the amount was not specific on the permission to administer form. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(1)(a & b) Today, we provided technical assistance regarding the following topics: 1. Unless children are actively needing diaper creams or ointments you could consider sending them home until needed. This will reduce the likelihood of an error on the Permission to Administer forms. 2. Always ensure that the kitchen is locked when leaving so there is no access by children. 3. Activity plans should be posted on Friday or first thing Monday morning. When a member of the administration staff is making their daily rounds, this is one of the items that could be added to a checklist. Compliance Plan: There is no compliance plan due at this time. Compliance History: You are required to maintain compliance with all applicable child care rules and regulations at all times. North Carolina General Statute 110-90(4)(d) requires all child care facilities to maintain a compliance history of at least seventy-five percent (75%) for the past 18 months or during the length of time the facility has operated, whichever is less. Failure to do so may result in the issuance of a provisional license or other administrative action against the facility's license. Any violations cited during a visit may affect your score.
