Name of Operation: KIDS WORLD, INC Facility ID: 79000165 Consultant: SALLY ALLEN Operation Type: Center Case Number: 1125-184L Visit Date: 11/25/2025 Number Present: 59 Completed Date: 11/25/2025 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 90 Time In: 09:30 AM Time Out: 11:00 AM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to obtain information regarding an alleged violation of childcare requirements. This visit was conducted with Mindy Hill, Director. The allegations are as follows: There are concerns regarding safe sleep policy. During today’s visit, the allegation was discussed with you. You had the opportunity to respond. Information shared during this visit is documented in this visit summary. Your program currently operates with a Three (3) star license. Restrictions include first and second shift and meets enhanced space. Today, the following items, in addition to the allegations, were monitored: • Supervision • Staff / Child Ratio • Adequate / Approved Space • License Posted • Permit Restrictions Allegation #1: There are concerns regarding safe sleep policy. Observation and/or Interviews #1: Today I observed in each indoor classroom space. I interviewed two (2) staff and Ms. Hill today. The teachers in the classroom for infants, space 4, stated that they placed a child in a bouncy seat in a crib to keep other children from bothering the infant. They stated that the infant was not asleep. Collateral information gathered there were three (3) infants observed sleeping in bouncy seats that were placed in cribs. Ms. Hill stated that she spoke with the teachers and reviewed the safe sleep policy with the teachers. I was given a copy of the facility’s safe sleep policy today. It states: “Infants are not placed in or left in car safety seats, strollers, swings or infant carriers to sleep.” and “We do not allow any objects other than pacifiers such as pillows, blankets or toys in the crib or sleep space.” Conclusion #1: Based on the above information, there was enough information to support the allegation. This allegation is substantiated. Upon my arrival to space 3b, there were twelve (12) children, ages one to two years, with one (1) teacher. Another teacher arrived with another one year old child a few seconds after I arrived to the room. She stated that she had taken the child to get their picture taken and was only gone for about three (3) minutes. The other teacher stated that she was alone in the room for about three (3) minutes. I informed both teachers that they had to maintain staff/child ratios at all times. Also, with the addition of this child to the classroom this made the group size for the classroom thirteen (13) instead of the required twelve (12). A child was moved to the classroom for two-year-olds so this was corrected during the visit. The following violations were cited during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 301 Minimum staff/child ratios and group sizes for the number and ages of children in care were not met. There were twelve (12) children, one to two years, with one (1) teacher for approximately three (3) minutes. When the other teacher arrived back to the classroom she had another one-year-old with her making the group size thirteen (13) instead of the required group size of twelve (12). GS 110-91(7);.0713(a-d) 871 Center staff did not comply with the safe sleep policy. On November 19, 2025, there were three (3) infants observed sleeping in bouncy seats that were placed in cribs. 10A NCAC 09 .0606(a) 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 violation cited during today's visit immediately and send me documentation verifying compliance on or before December 9, 2025. 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: P.O. 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. A follow up visit will be conducted due to a staff/child ratio being cited. Technical Assistance: Ms. Hill stated that she reviewed the safe sleep policy with the teachers in the classroom for infants. She stated that she reminded the teachers that as soon as the infant falls asleep in the a bouncy seat they must be placed in a crib. I reviewed with the teachers in space 3b that they must maintain staff/child ratios at all times. They must call someone from the office to take a child from the room unless there is an extreme emergency. The staff/child ratio is posted in each classroom space.

This visit was conducted with Mindy Hill, Director. The allegations are as follows: There are concerns regarding safe sleep policy. During today’s visit, the allegation was discussed with you. You had the opportunity to respond. Information shared during this visit is documented in this visit summary. Your program currently operates with a Three (3) star license. Restrictions include first and second shift and meets enhanced space. Today, the following items, in addition to the allegations, were monitored: • Supervision • Staff / Child Ratio • Adequate / Approved Space • License Posted • Permit Restrictions Allegation #1: There are concerns regarding safe sleep policy. Observation and/or Interviews #1: Today I observed in each indoor classroom space. I interviewed two (2) staff and Ms. Hill today. The teachers in the classroom for infants, space 4, stated that they placed a child in a bouncy seat in a crib to keep other children from bothering the infant. They stated that the infant was not asleep. Collateral information gathered there were three (3) infants observed sleeping in bouncy seats that were placed in cribs. Ms. Hill stated that she spoke with the teachers and reviewed the safe sleep policy with the teachers. I was given a copy of the facility’s safe sleep policy today. It states: “Infants are not placed in or left in car safety seats, strollers, swings or infant carriers to sleep.” and “We do not allow any objects other than pacifiers such as pillows, blankets or toys in the crib or sleep space.” Conclusion #1: Based on the above information, there was enough information to support the allegation. This allegation is substantiated. Upon my arrival to space 3b, there were twelve (12) children, ages one to two years, with one (1) teacher. Another teacher arrived with another one year old child a few seconds after I arrived to the room. She stated that she had taken the child to get their picture taken and was only gone for about three (3) minutes. The other teacher stated that she was alone in the room for about three (3) minutes. I informed both teachers that they had to maintain staff/child ratios at all times. Also, with the addition of this child to the classroom this made the group size for the classroom thirteen (13) instead of the required twelve (12). A child was moved to the classroom for two-year-olds so this was corrected during the visit. The following violations were cited during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 301 Minimum staff/child ratios and group sizes for the number and ages of children in care were not met. There were twelve (12) children, one to two years, with one (1) teacher for approximately three (3) minutes. When the other teacher arrived back to the classroom she had another one-year-old with her making the group size thirteen (13) instead of the required group size of twelve (12).

This visit was conducted with Mindy Hill, Director. The allegations are as follows: There are concerns regarding screen time. There are concerns regarding sanitation. During today’s visit, the allegation was discussed with you. You had the opportunity to respond. Information shared during this visit is documented in this visit summary. Your program currently operates with a Three (3) star license. Restrictions include first and second shift and meets enhanced space. Today, the following items, in addition to the allegations, were monitored: • Supervision • Staff / Child Ratio • Adequate / Approved Space • License Posted • Permit Restrictions Allegation #1: There are concerns regarding screen time. Observation and/or Interviews #1: Today I observed in each indoor classroom space. I interviewed four (4) staff and Ms. Hill today. The teachers in the classroom for two and three year olds, space 3a, stated that they rarely use screen time. When I asked them what type of screen time they provide and how often they stated a few minutes on a cell phone so the children can dance to music. The teacher in space 2b stated that she does not allow children screen time individually. She stated that the only time a screen is used is when she has a music and movement activity as a group time activity. The teacher in space 2a stated that she only allows screen time as a group activity when the children watch a video on alphabet letters. She stated that it is usually fifteen (15) minute videos. Ms. Hill stated that the only classroom that she allows screen time is space 2a. She stated that the video is for learning alphabet letters and that the video is twenty to thirty minutes long. She stated that they are only allowed that video once a week. This was not on the activity plan nor was there a cumulative log. Conclusion #1: Based on observation and information gathered in the interviews the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation #2: There are concerns regarding sanitation. Observation and/or interview #2: I observed in each classroom space. I spoke with Ms. Hill about the cleaning schedules, especially after meals. Ms. Hill stated that the teachers are responsible for sweeping after each meal and mopping after lunch and before they leave for the day. She stated that carpets are vacuumed by the teachers before they leave for the day unless there is a mess to clean up prior to that time. During my observation in space 3a there was dried food on the floor and there was a pretzel piece by the shelving unit containing manipulatives. There also was visible dirt in the high traffic areas of the classroom. The last sanitation inspection was completed on May 7, 2025. The facility received an approved rating with eighteen (18) demerits. Conclusion #2: Based on observations and information gathered in the interviews the allegation is substantiated. The following violations were cited during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 524 When children 3 years and older were in care, screen time was not used to stimulate a developmental domain; was not limited to 30 minutes a day and no more than a total of two and a half hours per week, per child; and/or was not documented on a cumulative log or the activity plan that is available for review. The screen time for space 2a was not documented on a cumulative log or the activity plan. .0510(d)(2)(A-C) 603 All floors and floor coverings were not constructed of nonabsorbent material and/or were not kept clean and in good repair. In space 3a there was dried food in several areas and visible dirt in high traffic areas. 15A NCAC 18A .2824(a)&(b) 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.

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: It is important that classrooms be cleaned often especially at this time of year. Please remind your teachers to sweep after meals and if they see food dropped to immediately pick it up and throw it away. It is important that they are disinfecting and sanitizing as required. Consultation provided during today’s visit: During my observation there were two (2) children in space 3a, classroom for two and three year olds, with pacifiers in their mouths as they walked around the classroom. Pacifiers can be for calming and naptime but should not be used during play time. This can limit a child’s ability to verbalize his or her needs. Pacifiers can be dropped on the floor by the child and put back in their mouths without proper sanitizing. Also, another child may take the pacifier and put it in their mouths.

Technical assistance provided during today’s visit: 1-Two (2) children were observed being dropped off by a social worker. The children were allowed to come into the facility by themselves and walk to their classrooms without the adult walking them into the building. I informed Ms. Hill of my observation and asked that she contact them and let them know about the facilities safe arrival and departure policy. She stated that she will have a conversation with the social worker and supervisor and let them know. 2-I observed a school age child in space 1vacuuming. I asked the group leader why was the child vacuuming. She stated that she lets the children help with vacuuming and sweeping. I reviewed the sanitation rule regarding vacuum cleaners and HEPA filters. We also discussed children helping cleaning. 3-I reminded Ms. Hill that one-year-old children cannot be placed with children older than two-years-old unless it is at the very beginning or end of the day. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was reviewed with and provided to you. Thank you for your time and assistance during the visit.
