Name of Operation: Childcare Network #58 Facility ID: 32002352 Consultant: KIA REID Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 11/12/2025 Number Present: 52 Completed Date: 11/12/2025 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 180 Time In: 09:30 AM Time Out: 12:30 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Routine Unannounced Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s visit was to monitor your program for compliance with applicable child care requirements for a routine unannounced visit. You, Courtney Millsap, Director, assisted me with the visit. Your program currently operates with a five-star license, issued November 8, 2024, earning 6 points in the education component, 6 points in the program standards component (meeting all enhanced standards) and 1 quality point for having a staff benefits package and infrastructure of parent involvement. Your program was also monitored for compliance with implementing an approved curriculum as required for all four-and five-star licensed facilities where four-year-old children are enrolled. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was ninety-four percent as of 11/10/25. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on 11/10/25, and Child Development Schools North Carolina LLC was listed as current- active. The license was posted, and the restrictions were in compliance. A walk-through of the facility was completed today; all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in both the indoor and outdoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were participating in group time, free play in activity areas, transitions and personal care routines. Infants were observed in free play activities with their teachers, having tummy time and sleeping. Sleep checks were completed. Two violations were observed today. The violations were as follows: Violation Number Comment Rule 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference. The activity plans posted in space #4 for the NC Pre-K and school-age groups were dated November 3rd-7th. GS 110-91(12); .0508(a) 858 Plastic bags, materials that could be torn apart and toy parts small enough to be swallowed were accessible to children under three years of age. A ziploc bag in a cubby containing children's clothing was not out of the reach of the children two years of age in space #5. .0604(q) The two violations cited today were corrected during the visit, therefore no letter of compliance is needed. Child care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE -Today I observed clothing in plastic bags within the reach of the children two years of age. Remind your staff that all plastic bags must be placed at least five feet high or in locked storage. Safety is a priority when caring for young children. -A walk-through of the classrooms should be conducted each Monday to ensure all activity plans are current. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was printed, reviewed, and a copy was left with you. STAFF RECORDS Staff files were monitored for criminal background qualifying letters, current CPR/First Aid, medical, TB test and other specialized training. On your next annual compliance visit, on-going training hours will be monitored. RATED LICENSE INFORMATION Your next Rated License is due in November 2027; however, I encourage you to visit the DCDEE website to review the new QRIS REQUIREMENTS, Pathways to the Stars. We are going away from a point-based system allowing you to have three different pathways to achieve stars. CHILD CARE RULES Child Care Rules have been updated as of 7/1/25.

The temporary time period license was issued on 5/1/24 and expires on 11/2/24. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the administrator, Otiria Howell. She toured me through the center. We discussed the monitoring items for today's visit. We observed the center three playgrounds and conducted observation of the seven classrooms open for children during today's visit. We concluded the visit by meeting to review this report and resource materials. Preschool-aged children were observed playing outside, washing their hands, listening to story, drawing on paper, eating lunch, singing songs, using the restroom, and resting. The toddlers were observed washing their hands, being diapered, freely playing with the available toys, and eating lunch. The infants were observed freely playing with the available materials, being fed, resting, waking, being diapered, and being held. School-aged children were observed freely playing with the available materials, drawing, washing their hands, departing, and preparing for lunch. The Children’s Records form was completed during this visit. The Staff Training Worksheets were received and reviewed during this visit. The director attests that all children’s file and facility/program records are current and contain all the required information. Sixty-five children were present during this visit. The center had the following items posted/located in a prominent place in the center for parents and available for me to review: --the center's license --a current and nutritious menu --a Safe Arrival and Departure Procedure --Summary of the NC Child Care Law posted The recent fire drill was completed on 6/27/24. The recent outdoor inspection was completed on 6/27/24. There recent emergency drill was conducted on 5/15/24. The sanitation inspection was conducted on 7/2/24. The facility received a superior rating with 7 demerits. The fire inspection was completed on 6/25/24 and received during this visit. The director completed the Emergency Preparedness and Response training previously and updated the Emergency Plan on 6/26/24. The center does not provide aquatic activities; thus, those requirements were not monitored during this visit. The two mini buses used for transportation purposes were monitored during the first temporary time period visit on 6/5/24. They were found to still be in compliance during this visit. CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP PROCESS The building inspection for the new owner must be completed, approved, and sent to me before 10/1/24. The director stated that the district manager is working on getting those items completed. I provided her with physical copies of the inspection report to be completed so that the director could understand the requirement and the urgency to get that process started and completed. If the approved inspections are not received by 10/1/24, then a possible administrative action may be issued against the license. The center policies continue to be in accordance with the Child Care Rules and are thus still approved. The following violation was observed during this visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children. Outdoor learning environment (OLE) #3 had protrusions along the bottom and top of the fence, 2 broken and rusty gutter drain pipes, and exposed rough concrete edges along the step. OLE #2 had nails popping up along the edge of the black mulch border. OLE #1 had protrusions at the top of the fence, a broken toy box, and bolts protruding from the fence posts and gate posts. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(a) The violations documented during today's assessment were reviewed with the operator and must be corrected IMMEDIATELY. Evidence of correction must be sent to me no later than July 18, 2024. Compliance verification must be a dated and signed letter that includes statements addressing how and when the violations were corrected. Please include the facility's name and ID number on the letter of compliance. The letter may be emailed to angela.algerwalker@dhhs.nc.gov. If you email the compliance letter, you must include a signature block, which contains your name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 COMPLIANCE HISTORY When you receive your Child Care License from the State of NC, you are agreeing to comply at all times with the Law, Rules and Requirements pertaining to and governing Child Care in NC. It is your responsibility to read, learn, and maintain all Child Care Requirements that apply to your licensed facility. It is also your responsibility to ask Division staff questions for clarification of requirements you do not understand and to monitor your staff to ensure that all requirements are maintained at all times. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND CONSULTATION The following items were discussed prior to today' visit. 1) Please refer to the Staff and Training Worksheets to continue to keep all staff members current with their upcoming due dates for CPR/First Aid training, ITS-SIDS training, child maltreatment training, and health and safety training requirements. 2) Please refer to the What’s New Section of the DCDEE website for the new rules and other updates. 3) Outdoor Play Areas: The outdoor learning environment offers a sense of freedom for children. Children are able to play freely with peers, expand their imagination beyond restraints of indoor activities, release energy and explore their sense of touch, smell, taste and their sense of motion. Since children are exploring it is very important to provide a safe environment. Proper maintenance is a key factor when trying to ensure a safe play environment for children. Each playground is unique and requires a routine maintenance check program developed specifically for that setting. RATED LICENSE APPLICATION INFORMATION Once you have achieved a full six (6) months of operation, your program will be eligible for a Voluntary Enhanced Rated License. The award of this Rated License will occur at the end of the 6-month Temporary License Time Period. The following information will need to be completed to begin the program's Rated License Assessment: 1) If the center chooses to complete the Environmental Rating Scales during the temporary time period, then the administrator will submit the completed Application for the Environmental Rating Scale Assessment and Rated License Request Review form before 8/1/24. 2) Please ensure that all new staff members’ education information is current in the W.O.R.K.S. database. Each staff member must register in the WORKS system as soon as they are hired at this location. Education evaluations can take some time to process so beginning the process early will help to ensure we have the accurate information needed when it is time to complete the rated license assessment before the end of the temporary time period. You may also want to consider having staff members complete the Early Educator Certification process (www.ncicdp.org) to assist in getting higher education evaluations completed if their degree is not in early childhood education. 3) Begin thinking about which Quality Point Option you will select. We reviewed a list of the Quality Options you can meet at your center. There are both Educational Options and Programmatic Options. Regardless of the total number of Quality Options that are in place, the center can only be awarded one additional point towards your Rated License Assessment. Once you select a Quality Option, it must remain in effect at the center until a new Quality Option has been assessed. Once the approved inspections are submitted, the facility can be issued a Five Star Rated License effective 11/2/24 or earlier based on previously earning 7 points in staff education, 6 points in program standards, and one quality point. You can be issued a Rated License based on a previous assessment due to being in “Hold Harmless” status. A full Rated License Assessment will occur based on the program’s Cohort assignment; your program is in COHORT #1, therefore the assessment period would begin on 7/1/24. You should begin preparing for your assessment. We discussed several items that need to be addressed to be successful on the Environmental Rating Scales, including room arrangement, types of materials, quantity of materials, and interactions.
