Your program earned 2 points in program standards, 4 points in staff education and 1 quality point. Your temporary license ended on December 5 and your 3-star rated license was issued on December 6, 2023. Prior to today’s visit your program’s compliance history score was 81%. Your business For A Purpose Daycare, LLC was checked on the North Carolina Secretary of State website and your business was listed as current and active. I observed the following to be prominently posted at the entrance to the facility: Five-Star Rated License, North Carolina Summary of Child Care Summary of Law, First Aid information poster, safe arrival and departure procedures, Emergency Medical Care Plan, Emergency Phone Numbers, tobacco free signage, sanitation placard, and menu. The following inspections were monitored: sanitation, fire, and your playground. Your incident log, most recent fire drill log, and your emergency drill log were monitored. Your Emergency Preparedness and Response plan was current and printed. Your menu was current, posted and I observed broccoli and carrots, beef, stir fry noodles, cantaloupe and 1% unflavored white milk being served for lunch today. Indoors and outside spaces were monitored for health and safety standards. Children were being cared for in a nurturing way. Your indoor toys and furnishings were of sufficient quantity and in good repair. Children were participating in teacher directed activities, free choice play, outside play, toileting, and handwashing routines. Sign in/sign out sheets were current, and attendance was up to date. In the infant classrooms safe sleep checks, and infant feeding plans were current, and posted. Allergy listings were posted in all classrooms. Activity plans were current and posted in all classrooms. You requested for transportation to be approved during today’s visit. I monitored your transportation vehicle and transportation requirements were in compliance. I approved your vehicle to transport children. I monitored your screen time log. I monitored all medications and their permissions to administer authorization forms during today's visit. I monitored a random sampling of 5 children’s records. I monitored 1 existing staff file and 12 new staff files. The following violations were cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 721 All equipment and furnishings were not in good repair. On the playground used by preschool aged children there was a little tykes kitchen play set that was missing the door. One orange stationary train structure on the playground used by preschool aged children had rust, chipping, and peeling paint. G.S. 110-91(6); .0601(b) 1882 Medication authorization, giving the caregiver standing authorization did not meet the specifications in rule. There were 3 diaper cream medication permission to administer forms did not list a sizable amount to administer. .0803(6)(a-i); .0803(7)(a-g); .0803(8)(a-d) 1908 A child's file did not have a statement with parent signature acknowledging receipt and explanation of the Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy and/or the acknowledgement did not have all the required information. One child's Shaken Baby and Abusive Head Trauma Policy did not have the child's date of enrollment listed on the acknowledgment statement. .0608(b)(1-6) Technical Assistance: • One child's Shaken Baby and Abusive Head Trauma Policy did not have the child's date of enrollment listed on the acknowledgment statement. • On the playground used by preschool aged children there was a little tykes kitchen play set that was missing the door. I recommend, when completing monthly playground inspections and while on the playground daily that the playgrounds be monitored for broken equipment. Be sure to remove or repair toys and furnishings on the playground that are not in good repair. • There were 3 diaper cream medication permission to administer forms did not list a sizable amount to administer. I recommend that you check all medication permission to administer forms at least quarterly to ensure that all required information is listed. • One orange stationary train structure on the playground used by preschool aged children had rust, chipping, and peeling paint. As discussed, all equipment and furnishings must be kept in good repair. I recommend utilizing the monthly playground inspections to identify when the outside equipment has rust and/or chipped and peeling paint. Child care facilities must comply with all state laws, federal laws and local ordinances that pertain to child health, safety, and welfare of children (GS110-91 – Mandatory standards for a license). Failure to comply may lead to an administrative action (General statue 110-102-2- Administrative penalties). Child care programs 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 eighteen (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.

They informed me of the discipline policy and stated that they call administrators when breaks are needed. During today’s visit I was provided with a copy of the discipline policy and the policy that was signed by that staff member regarding the incident.
