You, Kina Robinson, Director, assisted me with today’s visit. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on March 19, 2025. The last sanitation inspection was completed on September 25, 2024. The last fire inspection was conducted December 17, 2024. Your facility is approved for first shift only. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was 98% prior to today’s visit. The center's five star rated license, NC Child Care law summary, safe arrival and departure procedures, emergency phone numbers, tobacco restriction, monthly menu, and Emergency Medical Care Plan were prominently posted. The following was monitored during today’s visit: supervision, staff/child ratios, permit restrictions, group size, capacity, adequate and approved space, and hazardous product storage. A walkthrough of the indoor environment was completed. Children were observed engaged in free choice activities, caretaking routines, meal time, staff/child interaction, and rest time. Fire drills are being completed monthly as required. Emergency drills are being conducted every three months as required. Incident logs were monitored during today’s visit. Materials, toys, and equipment throughout the facility was of sufficient quantity, developmentally appropriate, and in good repair. Medications, Permission to Administer forms, and medical action plans were monitored during today’s visit. All staff files were monitored for criminal background checks, First Aid/CPR, Recognizing and Responding, and ITS/SIDS during today’s visit. The following violations were documented today: Violation Number Comment Rule 1048 All staff did not successfully complete certification in First Aid appropriate to the age of children in care. Verification of staff completion of First Aid training from an approved training organization was not in the staff file. A staff member hired on 9/3/24 did not have a current First Aid training certificate on file and available for review. .1102(c) Technical Assistance was provided on the following: It is highly recommended that staff and training worksheets and staff files are reviewed monthly, to ensure all items on the worksheets and in the files are current to ensure compliance at all times. This includes but is not limited to First Aid certificates. It is highly recommended that you utilize the order of the items listed on the staff and training worksheets to organize your files. This may assist with locating items in the files that need to be reviewed. Please ensure that any staff members without a First Aid certificate have that item updated no later than September 3, 2025 and that item is placed in their file and available for review. Please ensure that all First Aid and CPR certificates are always on file and available for review. Please ensure trainings are being taken well before previous First Aid and CPR certificates expire, giving the trainer time to supply you with certificates before the previous certificates expire. Consultation was provided on the following: Please continue ensuring that all emergency medication that is brought into the facility is kept in it’s original container with the prescription label attached. Please continue ensuring that all emergency medication has a permission to administer form and medical action plan on file (preferably stored with the medication). Also, please remember that permission to administer forms are only good for six months. It is recommended that original documents or copies of original documents are placed in staff files, and that pictures are not taken of these documents and placed in staff files. Today I monitored a physical, TB test and criminal background check that were on file for staff members and the original documents were not on file. Pictures of these documents were available in the staff files, however, the documents were hard to review, and some were barely legible. During today’s visit I heard a child ask for water and the teacher stated, “We aren’t getting any water.” This incident occurred after lunch time was over and right before nap time. This is just a friendly reminder, “Drinking water shall be freely available to children of all ages.” In child care rules, please review Section .0900 – Nutrition Standards 10A NCAC 09. 0901 (e) . Please continue ensuring playground inspections are completed and documented for every month that the program is in session. Today in space #1 a child was crying for several minutes. When I entered the classroom both classroom teachers had children in their arms that they were assisting. The child crying was near one of the teachers on the floor but neither teacher acknowledged or spoke to the child that was crying when I entered the room. The administrator did step in to assist the classroom teachers with the child that was upset after I entered the room. Please ensure children are not left crying for several minutes, even if staff are occupied, placing a child near them or speaking with a child while they may be assisting other children may help soothe a child that is unsettled.
