Name of Operation: SUNSHINE SMILES ACADEMY Facility ID: 32001697 Consultant: KIA REID Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0526-091L Visit Date: 5/21/2026 Number Present: 66 Completed Date: 5/21/2026 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 125 Time In: 09:30 AM Time Out: 11:10 AM Time In: 01:20 PM Time Out: 01:45 PM List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to obtain information regarding alleged violations of child care requirements. Carleigh Franks assisted me with the visit. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the lead teacher of space #6. I completed a general walk-through of six (6) classrooms. There were thirteen (13) staff, and sixty-six (66) children present during the visit. Children throughout the facility were participating in outdoor play, transitions, personal care routines, and eating lunch. Infants received care according to individual needs including diapering and bottle feeding. Limited monitoring of child care requirements was conducted during the visit. Supervision, staff/child ratios, storage of hazardous items, nutrition, use of adequate/approved space and permit restrictions were monitored. The License and emergency care plan were posted. During today’s visit, I discussed the allegations with the assistant director and three staff. They were each given an opportunity to provide information surrounding the allegations. On 5/5/26 Durham County Environmental Health Specialist conducted a sanitation inspection at the center. In the infant classroom a spray bottle of oilogic baby slumber and sleep linen spray was in an unlocked drawer. The staff explained that the spray was for the diaper pail for controlling odors. The hazardous item was taken out of the classroom and thrown away. Also, an infant was observed on a boppy pillow with a propped bottle. The infant could not hold the bottle during feeding and rolled away from the infant’s mouth to the floor. According to the information provided, the lead teacher of the three-year-old classroom was in charge that morning and was made aware of the hazardous item and propped bottle. There was a bottle of essential oils spray that a teacher brought from home to use in the trash can for smells. Once the inspector found the spray and notified the person in charge it was thrown away immediately. The person in charge stated when she was coming down the hallway and the Environmental Health Specialist was coming out of the infant classroom and informed her that an infant had a propped bottle. The person in charge then went into the infant classroom and observed an infant lying on a boppy pillow with a bib on, holding the bottle and then throwing the bottle. The teachers were standing at the high chairs feeding children and could see the infant. I asked both teachers that were in the infant classroom on 5/5/26 regarding a propped bottle, and the information received was consistent with the person in charge. The lead teacher in the infant classroom stated that the infant is able to sit up and independently hold the bottle. She also stated bottles are not propped for any of the children in the classroom. The assistant director stated that although neither she nor the director was present on 5/5/26, they explained to the lead teacher in the infant classroom that essential oils and any type of air freshener are not allowed in the center. The assistant director further stated the lead teacher in the infant classroom brought the spray from home, and that she hasn't seen any bottles being propped. Although no one saw a propped bottle the administration staff reviewed proper bottle-feeding practices with infant staff, reminding that bottles are not to be propped. I observed in the classroom occupied by infants for an hour. Two teachers were present with 10 infants. Infants were engaged in tummy time, free play with their teachers, drinking bottles, napping, and diapering routines. Proper bottle-feeding techniques were used when feeding infants. The teachers created a warm, caring environment, interacting with the infants and meeting their individual needs. I did not observe any hazardous items in the classroom, bottles were not propped for those being fed, the infant named in the report can sit up and hold a bottle independently. One violation of child care requirements was documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 532 All children were not held or placed in feeding chairs or other appropriate apparatus to be fed. On 5/5/26 a child was observed lying on a boppy pillow drinking a bottle. 10A NCAC 09 .0902(b) The violations documented must be corrected immediately. On or before June 4, 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 Your compliance history prior to today’s visit was 91%. 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. INVESTIGATION STATUS The investigation was completed during today’s visit. Based on observations, and staff interviews, I determined that lapses in compliance with the Child Care Requirements have occurred, therefore the allegation related to an infant not being fed in an age-appropriate feeding apparatus is SUBSTANTIATED. On 5/5/26 demerits were documented by the Environmental Health Specialist concerning the essential oils spray, and the product was discarded immediately. A follow-up visit was made by the Environmental Health Specialist on 5/12/26 and no demerits related to hazardous items were observed or documented. During today’s visit, no hazardous items were observed in the classroom. The program is at risk of being issued an administrative action due to the substantiated allegation. You will receive written notification from DCDEE. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Infants must be held for bottle-feeding until they are able to hold their own bottles independently. Bottles must never be propped. Propping bottles may increase the risk of choking and ear infections. Each child shall be held or placed in feeding chairs or other age-appropriate seating apparatus to be fed. Examples of appropriate feeding devices are; high chair, feeding table or child-size table with chairs. “Serving Bottles to Infants” Poster from the North Carolina Child Care Health and Safety Resource Center was left as a resource for the program. There are also other posters that would be beneficial to your program and are free of charge (https://healthychildcare.unc.edu/resources/posters/).
