Upon arrival, I was greeted by Ms. Gaither, the K-12 School Principal. I was taken to the Infant classroom to the Director Arnita Richardson. You assisted me with today’s visit. Upon entering the infant classroom, I observed eight children ranging from age one (1) years old to four (4) years old. Four children were eating breakfast, one child was being changed, one child appeared to be being removed from a bouncy, one child laying on a mat, and one child playing with toys. The Director, Ms. Richardson, was working in the classroom as a teacher. Ms. Richardson stated that the infant/toddler teacher was sick and would not return until Monday. She stated that Mr. Mitchell normally is the teacher for the class, however, he had to run an errand today. I requested to view her tracking log pertaining to her time spent in the classroom and time spent doing administrative duties. I observed the tracking log not completed for 1/29/25. The log stated that Ms. Richardson was working as a teacher in the infant classroom all day on 1/28/25. Ms. Richardson stated that she will also working as a teacher some tomorrow. I reiterated that she can not go over her allotted time of 15 hours per week and still maintain compliance with her requirements for meeting her administrative work hours. The Pastor, Mr. Mitchell, arrived within forty-five minutes of my arrival. I discussed with him what I observed upon my arrival where the center was not in compliance with the ratio requirements pertaining to the grouping of children. I discussed with him that all the children were grouped together with the youngest child being 12 months and the oldest child being four years of age. I discussed with him that children 12 to 24 months should not be grouped with children three years and older. Mr. Mitchell acknowledged the non-compliance and stated that he understood that the children should not be grouped together. He discussed with me that he continuously reiterates that the children cannot be grouped together to the staff. During this Administrative Action Follow-up visit, a partial monitoring of minimum Child Care Requirements was conducted, monitoring all classrooms. The monitoring included the center’s License and Permit Restrictions, Staff/Child Ratios, Supervision, safe environment, and Sanitation. The center was not in compliance with all applicable minimum licensing requirements during today's visit. The following violation was observed and documented during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 318 Children between 12 and 24 months of age were grouped with children 3 years of age or older. Eight children ranging in age from one (1) to four (4) years of age were grouped together and cared for in the infant room. 10A NCAC 09 .0713(a)(6) To comply with the NC Laws and Rules any violations cited today MUST be corrected immediately. A compliance letter must be received on or before February 13, 2024, letter must address each violation, explain how it has been corrected and how the violation will maintain compliance in the future. Please make sure to include: -Facility name -Facility ID number -Each item number The letter can be emailed to Shamequa.Wilkerson-Harris@dhhs.nc.gov or mailed to: Shamequa Wilkerson-Harris 300 Sugar Maple Avenue Wake Forest, NC 27587 According to NC General Statute 110-90(4)(d) all child care centers must 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. Any violations documented during visits to your center may have an impact on the total compliance history score and cause your score to drop below the mandated level. The compliance history for your center as of today is 88%. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE The following items were discussed during today’s visit to help you maintain quality within your program and to prevent further violations. STAFF/CHILD RATIO/GROUPING According to “Caring For Our Children- National Health and Safety Performance Standards Guidelines for Early Care and Education Programs”, studies have found that children (particularly infants and toddlers) in groups that comply with the recommended ratio receive more sensitive and appropriate caregiving and score higher on developmental assessments, particularly vocabulary. In addition, the children’s physical safety and sanitation routines require a staff that is not fragmented by excessive demands. Both CFOC and the NC Child Care Requirements state that infants and toddlers should be cared for in groups that separate them from older children. During today’s visit I observed four one-year olds, one two-year old, one three-year old, and two four-year olds being cared for in the infant room. The director stated that the infant/toddler teacher was out sick, the Pastor, Mr. Mitchell was out running an important errand, and breakfast had to be prepped in the infant room. The director stated today was an emergency and it was only her and another teacher to care for the children. I discussed with the director that children between the age of 12-24 months can not be grouped with children three years and older. I discussed best practices if it is realized that they are short staffed. It is important that the staff/child ratio and grouping is in compliance at all times.
