One staff who started employment on 8/25/25 did not complete the Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training. .1102(g) 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. The program’s compliance history was 98% as of 3/3/26. The violation documented must be corrected immediately. On or before March 19, 2026. I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail how the violations were corrected. Email the letter to: Kia.Reid@dhhs.nc.gov and include the following information. -Name, position -Facility name -Facility ID number -Your signature TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Best practice would be to have all staff complete the Recognizing and Responding to Child Maltreatment training during their orientation period. ANNUAL COMPLIANCE RECORDS Staff and children’s files were reviewed. The on-going training requirements were monitored from March 2025-2026 and was in compliance. The site manager’s signature attests that staff files not monitored today contain all the required information. RATED LICENSE INFORMATION The program has chosen Pathway #1, and the SACERS-U assessment will be completed by the end of the school year. The education information for each person listed on the staff and training worksheet was reviewed in the WORKS portal. Two staff must upload their BSAC certificates to the WORKS portal. Please note any complaint reports or other licensing visits may impact your point levels and the issuance of your rated license. CONSULTATION I left the following forms with the site manager for her to review: 1-Health Reminders for the SACERS-U 2-SACERS-U Materials List 3-Lowest scoring items for SACERS-U 4-SACERS-U: Important Policies and Procedures The following activity areas were set-up in the cafeteria: art, science, math, manipulatives, reading, cultural art/heritage center, sensory, writing/language. Music, blocks, and dramatic play were set up outside. Technical assistance was provided on some of the SACERS components. I discussed some of the expectations for the following indicators. HANDWASHING Handwashing is the most important way to reduce the spread of intestinal infection. Handwashing for children and staff requires that both hands be washed with liquid soap and rinsed thoroughly under warm running water for at least 20 seconds. Hands should be dried with individual paper towels that are not shared. Using gloves, wipes, or antiseptic waterless washes does not count as substitutes for hand washing. *Handwashing should occur upon arrival into the classroom, before and after eating, after touching trash cans or lids, after cleaning up spills, after sand and water play, after sneezing, coughing, or wiping noses, after cleaning up bodily fluids, toileting, after being outdoors, after painting or gluing, handling a mop or broom, etc. SANITIZING *Eating surfaces and tables should be washed to remove gross soil and sanitize with a bleach-water solution before and after being used for meals and snacks. To allow bleach-water solution to do its job killing germs, it should be allowed to sit for at least 2 minutes before wiping dry is preferable or allowed to air dry. *Encouraging Children to Communicate Staff should actively encourage children to communicate verbally (or nonverbally if a disability does not permit verbal communication). Children benefit from having a teacher talk about what the children see, feel, do, or want. Teachers should remember to go over to the children and engage in conversation, not talk "across" the room to the children. Positive reinforcement should always be used when redirecting children. *Please check the Division of Child Development and Early Education website: ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov frequently and click the “what’s new” tab to stay informed of all updates available to you.
