The purpose of today’s visit was to monitor applicable childcare requirements during a Routine Unannounced visit. The last Annual Compliance visit was conducted on 10/24/23. This Family Child Care Home operates with a four-star license, which was issued on 9/20/19. The compliance history for this facility for the previous eighteen-month timeframe is 95%. During today’s visit the indoor child care space and the outdoor environment were monitored. OBSERVATIONS: There were 4 preschool age children present today. I observed engaged in a variety of indoor activities during free play time in child care space. I observed the children eating lunch, which consisted of turkey sandwich, sliced carrots, slices apples, and milk. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS: By reviewing the documentation on the operator’s verification form from the 8/29/23, I determined that the operator had current CPR, First Aid, and IT’S SIDS training. The operator and her husband had current Criminal Record Check clearance. TRANSPORTATION: During today’s visit the operator stated that she wanted to resume transportation approval. During today’s visit I checked the Chrysler Pacifica with license number LAC-3875 for transportation requirements. The operator stated that she had just purchased the vehicle. The vehicle will need to be inspected in May for permanent insurance. I reminded the operator to review the transportation requirements in NC Child Care Rules 10NCAC 09 .1723. I reminded the operator that she would need a first aid kit on the vehicle, along with a secured fire extinguisher prior to beginning transportation. I reminded the operator that the children would need signed permit from parents for transportation, along with emergency information on the children, and a photograph of the children on the vehicle during transportation. CHILDRE INSPECTIONS: The last documented fire drill was conducted on 4/15/24. The last documented shelter-in-place drill was conducted on 3/5/24. The last documented outdoor inspection was completed on 3/1/24. The following violation was cited today: Violation Number Comment Rule 1964 Activity plan did not reflect that children have at least four different activities daily, at least one of which is outdoors. The posted activity plans were for the month of March. 10A NCAC 09 .1718(a)(8)(C)(i-v) All violations must be corrected immediately. Please send me a signed Corrective Action letter by 5/13/24, explaining how the violation cited today has been corrected. OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT: I urged the operator to sign up again on 7/1/24 for the Shaping Healthy Lives for assistance with outdoor play area challenges. I stated that playground enhancements would be valuable for obtaining high points on the outdoor environment indicator in the FCCERS-R assessment. STAFF REQUIREMENTS: I reminded the operator that she needed to complete the Criminal Record Check requalification process by 9/16/24. I also reminded the operator that she needed to complete an updated CPR/First Aid training by 12/3/24 and IT’S SIDS training by 12/15/24. MEDICATION STORAGE: During today’s visit I reviewed NC Child Care Rule 10NCAC 09 .1719 (a) (7). I reminded the operator to always review the information written on the containers to verify that “keep out of the reach of children” is the only warning on the container. RATED LICENSE: This Family Child Care Home is in Cohort II for reassessment. I explained that the operator’s preparation year would begin 7/1/24, and the assessment year would begin on 7/1/25. Technical Assistance on the Rated License reassessment process during today’s visit: • I explained the “prep year” FCCERS-R assessment process. • I explained the three month “self-study” process, if the operator decided not to have the Environment Rating Scales conducted. • The operator’s education was in the WORKS database. AGENCY UPDATES: Child Care facilities are required to test their drinking and cooking water for lead every three years. For information you should contact Clean Water for Carolina Kids www.cleanwaterforcarolinakids.org. Also, child care facilities are now required to test for lead and asbestos hazards in their buildings. The Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program is designed to identify and eliminate exposure to lead and asbestos hazards in building infrastructure, while providing child care facilities with the support needed to meet all rule requirements.
