Name of Operation: JUMIA'S 'LEARNING ON THE GO' Facility ID: 32001881 Consultant: MANDY ANNUNZIATA Operation Type: Family CC Home Case Number: Visit Date: 9/12/2024 Number Present: 1 Completed Date: 9/12/2024 Age: From 4 To 4 Total Minutes: 180 Time In: 09:30 AM Time Out: 12:30 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Family CC Home Type Of Visit: Annual Comp Full Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to monitor applicable child care requirements during your annual compliance visit. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the provider, Marcellas Hudson, who assisted me during today’s visit. LICENSE STATUS The family child care home currently operates with a five-star license issued on August 28, 2018. The program received six points for staff education, seven points for program standards, and one quality point for serving no more than two children under the age of one. INSPECTIONS/DRILLS STATUS -The last annual compliance visit was conducted on 09/21/2023. -The last documented monthly outdoor play area inspection was completed on 8/22/24. -The last documented monthly fire drill was conducted on 9/7/24. -The last documented quarterly lockdown/shelter-in-place drill was conducted on 8/23/24. MONITORING I completed a walk-through of the home, including the children’s space, bathroom, and outdoor play area. At the time of the visit, there was one four-year-old child present. The provider also has four children enrolled after school, including her own child. The child was observed playing with cars and trucks, reading a book, interacting with the provider, and eating lunch. Lunch consisted of chicken, cucumbers with ranch, an apple, wheat bread, and milk. A full assessment of child care requirements was conducted. I used a checklist to monitor all applicable requirements, including but not limited to supervision, capacity, health and safety requirements, equipment and furnishings, and program records. The provider does not transport children; therefore, this requirement was not monitored. No enrolled children have medications or medical care plans, so these requirements were not monitored. Children 12 months or younger are not enrolled; therefore, safe sleep requirements were not monitored. The provider verified that all the information on the FCCH Verification of Required Information for Operator and Additional Caregivers form was correct. INDOOR/OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT Inside the home, children are cared for on the ground level of the home which has two rooms. One of the rooms is used for infant care and is not being used currently. In the preschool room, a variety of items for learning through play are available, including manipulatives, puzzles, books, and educational games. The bathroom and changing table are located within sight of the children’s play area. The outdoor play area is located in the back of the home and is not fenced, although the provider stated that they plan to construct a fence around their property and have started digging holes for the fence posts. VIOLATIONS The following violations were observed and documented during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 702 Potentially hazardous items, including but not limited to, power tools, nails, chemicals, propane stoves, lawn mowers, and gasoline or kerosene, whether or not intended for use by children were not stored in locked areas, removed from the premises, or otherwise inaccessible to children. A bottle of cleaning solution was stored in an unlocked cabinet in the bathroom which was accessible to children. Jagged pieces of wood with protruding nails were laying on top of children's toys in the backyard. Broken sharp pieces of plastic were also next to the toys. .1719 (a) (1) 910 Copy of each child's health assessment, including the operator's own preschool child(ren), was not on file within 30 days of enrollment. One child did not have a health assessment on file. GS 110-91(1); 10A NCAC 09.1721(a)(1) 911 Copy of each child's immunization record, including the operator's own preschool child(ren), was not on file. One child did not have an immunization record on file. GS 110-91(1); .1721(a)(2) 930 Prior to the expiration date of the qualification letter, the child care provider did not complete and submit required forms to complete a criminal background check (a qualification letter is valid for a maximum of five years from the date of issuance). The provider's qualifying letter expired July 10, 2024 and has not been renewed. G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(n) & (o) 1940 Hazardous cleaning supplies and other items that might be poisonous e.g. toxic plants, were not out of reach or in locked storage when children were in care. A bottle of cleaning solution was stored in an unlocked cabinet in the bathroom, accessible to children. .1719(a)(6) In order to comply with the NC Laws and Rules, any violations documented today must be corrected immediately. I need to receive your compliance letter by September 26, 2024. The letter must address each violation and explain specifically when and how it was corrected, as well as how you will prevent the same violations from happening in the future. Please send this to mandy.annunziata@dhhs.nc.gov and include the following information: -Facility name -Facility ID number -Each item number COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit, the facility’s compliance history score was 100%.

Failure to maintain compliance may result in an administrative action. The facility was not in compliance with all applicable minimum licensing requirements during today’s visit and violations were documented that could impact the center’s overall compliance history score. An updated compliance history score will be generated after today’s visit, and you will be informed of the results during the next visit to your program.

Today I observed cleaning solution under the cabinet in the bathroom as well as jagged wood with nails protruding from it in the backyard play area. I suggest conducting a walk-through of the children’s play spaces prior to children’s arrival each morning, removing any hazards from the areas and locking up chemicals. -Today it took some time for you to find all of your children’s files. In the event of an emergency, they need to be accessible quickly.
