I observed your Five-Star License, NC Child Care Summary of the Law, current menu, Sanitation placard, Emergency Medical Care Plan, daily schedule, activity plan, staff-child ratio worksheet, First Aid poster, tobacco free policy signage and evacuation plans posted as required. I observed children adequately supervised during today’s visit. I observed enhanced staff-child ratios minus one (1) maintained during today’s visit.

Fire and sanitation inspections are occurring as required. Copies of each are in your file. Fire and emergency drills are occurring and documented as required. You stated that you do not provide transportation. I observed the current Public-School Records Offsite Verification Forms for staff and children. I monitored a random selection of four children’s files. I monitored two staff files. Your signature on all forms will serve as verification that the information provided was accurate and complete. There was one violation observed or cited during the visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 1043 All staff records, except financial records, were not made available for review. One substitute staff did not have their file available for review upon request. G.S. 110-91( 9) Compliance Plan: There is no compliance letter due at this time. Technical Assistance was provided on the following: 1. Remind substitute staff to always have their file in their physical possession in case of an emergency. It may be beneficial to maintain substitute files at each facility so they are easily accessible. 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. Thank you for sending your Staff & Training Worksheet and other required documentation for me to review prior to the visit. Thank you for your time today.
