Cassandra Blanks, center manager assisted me with the visit. A copy of today’s visit was signed and left with Loraine Worley, lead teacher at the end of the visit. Your program currently operates with a Five- star license issued December 16, 2026. Your program operates with program Pathway 3- Accreditation and Head Start Fire and sanitation reports remain current since your last visit. Your last fire inspection is dated 11/5/25. Your last sanitation inspection is dated 9/24/25. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. Your compliance history score was 95% as of today. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed today and SOUTHEASTERN COMMUNITY ACTION PARTNERSHIP, INC was listed as current- active. The license was posted, and the restrictions were in compliance. A walk-through of the facility was completed today, all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children preparing for rest time, laying on cots and finishing up lunch. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. Teachers interacted with the children on their level. Three new staff files were monitored for compliance. Lunch consisted of spinach, chicken patty, watermelon, roll, and milk. The following violations were cited: Violation Number Comment Rule 1048 All staff did not successfully complete certification in First Aid appropriate to the age of children in care. Verification of staff completion of First Aid training from an approved training organization was not in the staff file. Documentation was not on file for two staff members. .1102(c) 1049 All staff did not successfully complete certification in CPR training appropriate to the age of the children in care. Verification of staff completion of the CPR course from an approved training organization was not in the staff file. Documentation was not on file for one staff member. .1102(d) 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 violations documented may impact the compliance history score. The violations documented must be corrected immediately. On or before 5/19/2026, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance was given on: Naptime Supervision If a child’s head is covered, the staff is essentially flying blind. Here is a breakdown of the practical health risks and application strategies. Practical Health & Safety Risks 1. The "Invisible" Emergency The biggest risk is that a teacher cannot see what they can’t see. If a child’s head is under a blanket, the teacher cannot tell if the child: * Has stopped breathing or is struggling for air. * Is choking or has spit up. * Is turning blue or pale (signs of medical distress). * Has a high fever (flushed skin). * Having a silent seizure Practical Rule: If you can’t see their face, you can’t guarantee they are safe. 2. The "Stale Air" Trap When a child’s head is covered, they are breathing the same air over and over. This "stale air" is full of carbon dioxide and lacks fresh oxygen. It may make the child groggy, but in a dangerous way that can make it harder for them to wake up if they get into trouble. The "Chest-High" Habit Train staff to always tuck blankets under the arms and across the chest. By keeping the arms *outside* the blanket, it is much harder for a child to accidentally or purposefully pull the cover over their face while they shift in their sleep. Address the "Why" (Light and Noise) Most children cover their heads because they are trying to block something out. If it's too bright: Instead of letting them hide under a blanket, use better shades or turn off more lights. If it's too noisy: Use a soft white noise machine. This provides a "sound blanket" that helps them feel tucked in without needing to pull fabric over their ears. The "Gentle Adjustment" Routine Staff should be walking the "nap aisle" constantly. * Do not wait for a scheduled check. * If a blanket has moved up toward the chin or over the ears, the teacher should gently slide it back down to the chest level as they walk by. It should be a continuous, quiet habit throughout the entire nap period. It’s not just a rule to follow for a checklist; it’s the only way a teacher can fulfill their primary job during nap time—which is active supervision. If the face is hidden, the supervision has stopped.

Technical Assistance was given on the following: I highly recommend adding a check for wasps on your daily outside check list before allowing children to play on/in outside play equipment. Make sure to do extensive searches in spaces where wasps may build their nests. I highly suggest tilling the wood chips or sand under the playground equipment at least once a month. I also recommend painting or completing paint touch ups to all the rooms annually over the summer before school resumes in the fall.

Cassandra Blanks, center manager assisted me with the visit. Your program currently operates with a Five- star license effective February 2, 2022. Your program is currently earning (7) points in the education component, (6) points in the program standards component (the program met enhanced ratios and enhanced space) and 1 quality point (at least 75% of the teachers have an AAS or higher in early childhood education or child development). Your program was also monitored for compliance with implementing an approved curriculum as required for all four and five star licensed facilities where four-year-old children are enrolled. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was ninety five percent as of today. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed today and SOUTHEASTERN COMMUNITY ACTION PARTNERSHIP, INC was listed as current- active. The center's last sanitation inspection is dated 4/3/23. The center's last fire inspection is dated 12/16/22. The license was posted, and the restrictions were in compliance. A walk-through of the facility was completed today, all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in both the indoor and outdoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were participating in group time, free play in activity areas, transitions and personal care routines. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. Teachers interacted with the children on their level. Rated license requirements were reviewed to ensure compliance was maintained with current program and education components as well as the quality point. Lunch consisted of WG cheeseburger with meat patty, baked sweet potato fries, mandarin oranges, and milk. Two new staff member files were monitored and found in compliance during today’s visit. The following violations were documented: Violation Number Comment Rule 620 All walls and ceilings including doors and windows were not kept clean and in good repair. In space #4, the wall had several spots where the paint was peeling from the wall. 15A NCAC 18A .2825(a) 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children. On the playground, on the ceiling of the shade structure, there was a cluster of live wasps and 2 other active wasp nests. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(a) 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 violations documented may impact the compliance history score. The violations documented must be corrected immediately. On or before September 26, 2023, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Observance: Today, I observed children ages 2years to 4 years old playing in teacher directed activities, free play activities, and playing in both inside and outside learning environments. Technical Assistance was given on the following: I highly recommend adding a check for wasps on your daily outside check list before allowing children to play on/in outside play equipment. Make sure to do extensive searches in spaces where wasps may build their nests. I highly suggest tilling the wood chips or sand under the playground equipment at least once a month. I also recommend painting or completing paint touch ups to all the rooms annually over the summer before school resumes in the fall. Make sure all necessary documents are posted prior to the first day of school. Special attention should be given to the surfacing under required play equipment on the playground over the summer. Replenish surfacing over the summer or make an assessment on when you will need to replenish surfacing.
