Children ranging in age of one to three years old were grouped together in space #3. Space #3 has two (2) one year olds, six(6) two-year olds, and two (2) three year olds enrolled. 10A NCAC 09 .0713(a)(6) 840 All corrosive agents, pesticides, bleaches, detergents, cleansers, polishes, any product which is under pressure in an aerosol dispenser, and any substance which may be hazardous to a child if ingested, inhaled, or handled were not stored in a locked room or cabinet. Air Freshener was observed in an unlocked cabinet in the bathrooms used by the children. .2820(b) 844 Prescribed medicine was not in original labeled container or accompanied by signed and dated written instructions from prescribing physician or health care professional. An albuterol medication was not kept in the original labeled container in space #1. .0803(2)(a) 871 Center staff did not comply with the safe sleep policy. A blanket was observed in a sleeping infants crib during today's visit. 10A NCAC 09 .0606(a) 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 20, 2025, the 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 COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit, the program’s compliance history was 95%. According to NC General Statue 110-90(4)(d) requires all child care facilities to maintain a compliance history score of at least 75% for the past eighteen 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. 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 I observed one (1) one year old being cared with three years of age. The teacher stated that they have two one (1) year olds, six two (2) year olds, and two three (3) year olds enrolled in space # 3. I would recommend considering transitioning either one year olds or the three year olds into another class. 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. SAFE SLEEP Policy During today’s visit I observed a blanket in the crib with a sleeping infant. An infant was placed in the crib with a hoodie covering the infant’s head. I would recommend having all staff that work in the infant’s classroom review the safe sleep policy. I would also recommend viewing the website https://nrckids.org/CFOC (Caring For Our Children) in Chapter 3: Health Promotion and Protection in regards to infant safe sleep. PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION In space #1 an Albuterol medication was not stored in its original package. I discussed with the Administrator the importance of storing all medications in its original package. I would recommend sending a memo to parents and staff that all medications should be stored in their original package. STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS During today’s visit I observed in the children’s bathroom in an unlocked cabinet “Juicy Tropical Odor Air Freshener,” that stated, “Keep out of reach of children.” I would recommend storing the air freshener in the locked closet located in your hallway. CONSULTATION AND REMINDERS The following items were discussed during today’s visit to improve the quality of your program. HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING Health and Safety training courses are now available through Moodle on the DCDEE website. This training courses are provided free of charge.
