Name of Operation: DOUGLASS HEAD START Facility ID: 79000316 Consultant: SALLY ALLEN Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0426-058L Visit Date: 4/14/2026 Number Present: 32 Completed Date: 4/14/2026 Age: From 3 To 5 Total Minutes: 60 Time In: 10:35 AM Time Out: 11:35 AM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Self Report Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s visit was to obtain information related to a self-report received by the Division. During today’s visit, Nicky Pickard, Education Manager, accompanied me during today’s visit to the head start classroom. During the visit, I discussed the information with Ms. Pickard. Based on information obtained, the following was determined: On April 2, 2026, a head start child was allowed into the school building by a minor that is not enrolled at the elementary school and walked to the head start classroom by this minor. The minor is the child of the lead teacher in one of the head start classrooms. This confirms that the child was not supervised by a qualified adult in the time that the child was let into the school building until the teacher, who was standing at the classroom door, could visually see them. There is a small enclosed area at the entrance and then a foyer that the children took before heading down the hallway that houses the head start classrooms. Ms. Pickard stated that the teacher was written up. The letter was sent to me. It contained the information on what occurred that day. It stated that the arrival and departure procedures and supervision expectations will be reviewed with the teacher. I suggested to Ms. Pickard that the teacher sign a statement of what was reviewed with her not what “will be” reviewed. Ms. Pickard stated that all staff attended a training yesterday, April 13, 2026, regarding Autism. She stated that during the training the trainer did review staff/child ratio and supervision and how to maintain these regulations when certain situations occur, such as you have to leave the classroom. The arrival and departure procedures were also sent to the parent of the child that was unsupervised. Ms. Pickard stated that she has begun to look at their onboarding/orientation procedures due to this incident. She stated that the lead teacher has only been employed since February 2026. Ms. Pickard believes that they need to do more in depth orientation with the teachers before they take responsibility of a classroom. Limited monitoring of childcare requirements occurred during today’s visit. The following violation was cited and confirmed during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 303 Children were not adequately supervised at all times. A child was allowed into the school building and accompanied to the head start classroom by another minor. .1801(a)(1-5) Comments Section – 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. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. You must correct the violations cited during today's visit immediately and send me documentation verifying compliance on or before April 28, 2026. The following information must be included in your signed and dated compliance letter: • the name of your center • facility ID number • date • title of the person who signs the letter • each violation number(s) • describes accurately and in detail how and when you corrected each violation You may email the letter to sally.allen@dhhs.nc.gov or mail two copies of the letter to: Sally Allen PO Box 962 Eden, NC 27289 If you state in your letter that corrections or changes have been made when they have not, it will be considered falsification of information and could lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Repeated violations, continued non-compliance, or failure to submit the compliance letter prior to the date given in this visit summary can also lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit related to violations: A violation was documented for failure to maintain compliance with supervision requirements. Violations of this nature directly impact the safety of the children while in your care. In addition, these types of violations have the greatest negative impact on your compliance history. I suggest that all staff be reminded of the arrival and departure procedures. It is important that the teachers are aware of what to do in the future if parents are late bringing their children to school. I would also send out the procedures to all the parents and remind them what to do if they are late dropping their child off.
