The Emergency Medical Care plan was posted and current. The approved curriculum is Funny Daffer. Lead water testing was completed on 7/3/24 with hazards. Mitigation was achieved. Lead paint was completed on 3/27/25. No results were listed for asbestos testing. Sixteen (16) staff members were listed on the Automated Criminal Background Check Management System (ABCMS). A summer program was in progress at this facility. A total of ninety-two (92) children, five-to-twelve years of age, were in attendance today. Three (3) additional juveniles, two (2) children, who were thirteen, and one (1) child, who was fifteen (15) years of age, were present as Campers in Leadership Training (CILT). Their role was to help group leaders/camp counselors with art projects, decoration and shadowing them. During today’s visit, space 2A and 2B – cafeteria was not available for program to use due to waxing of the floors. Therefore, multiple groups shared space. In the gym, a group of fifteen (15) children in group#4 and nineteen (19) children in group #3 engaged in gross motor and other activities. Children threw/caught basketball, football, rubber balls with paired peers, danced with streams and scarves, built structures with Legos and wooden blocks and drew/colored. Three (3) group leaders supervised the children. One (1) outside contracted from partnering agency was present to work with a child. Five (5) medications were maintained in the backpack for group #4.

A few children threw a football with each other in the open space in the courtyard. One (1) emergency medications were maintained in the backpack for a child in group #6. Action plan for the medication was on file, but parent authorization form was not located. Two (2) other daily medication were maintained in the office. Both medications are administered daily. One (1) medication was administered to a child during today’s visit and the other one was not due to the child being absent. Parental authorization form for both medications was on file and signed by the parents. However, the form for Methylphenidate was missing some required information. Theater was also used for summer program – soft things, doll house, accessories, games, fidget toys, pretend garden toys, books, felt materials, manipulatives and art materials were available for children. Staff files: Due to program inability to access to computer electronic system using their work computer, Will Deter, Association Director of Systems and Strategies, shared the electronic data with me in-person using his personal computer. Some documents could not be monitored due to the same issues. The following staff members were identified as existing staff members and their criminal background letters expiration date – identified as CBC, CPR/First Aid (FA) expiration date and BSAC training dates were monitored. Some of the staff members work at different programs during school year. Each staff member’s “typical” work site is noted in the parentheses. C.

Anderson, C. Bennett, A. Carlson, W. Hall, Al. Klepac, Ar. Klepac, K. Lathrop, T. Reynolds and B. Young were listed on the ABCMS roster for Fairview site. Qualification status for C. Armstrong was verified through the ABCMS, but the staff member was not linked with any program yet. W. Meyer was listed on the roster for Haw Creek site. Due to no record of criminal background check being completed for F. Frayne, I discussed this matter with A. Deter, Executive Director of Youth Services, who was on-site, and the staff member was instructed to leave the premises immediately until criminal background check was completed and the valid qualification letter was issued and filed. Children’s files: Children’s records were reviewed partially due to some documents not being available for review on-site. Parent authorization form for Albuterol – not on file initially but was found later during the visit. The permission form for I.L. singed and dated on 6/15/26 was verified. Parental authorization form for Ibuprofen – not on file – Per Ms. Carlson, the parent emailed the document to a group leader. Due to program’s inability to access computer electronic system, authorization form could not be verified during today’s visit. I used the Child Care Center Item Number Listing (DCDEE-0357) as a basic monitoring tool to assess compliance with all applicable child care requirements pertinent to this facility. For specific rule references, refer to Chapter 110 General Statues Child Care Facilities, Chapter nine (9) Child Care Rule (10A NCAC 09) and Section 2800 Sanitation of Child Care Center (15A NCAC 18A) for additional information. Updated copies of these rules can be located on our website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ The program provides transportation. Per Ms. Carlson, a group of children are transported by shuttle bus from Oakley Elementary School to Fairview Elementary School in the morning. Two (2) group leaders and one (1) program coordinator accompanied the children on the bus. Forty-two (42) children were registered to use the shuttle bus for this week, and twenty-eight (28) utilized the service today. A field trip to a pool was scheduled for today, but it was cancelled due to electrical issues at the pool. Per Ms. Carlson, children in group #1, 3, and 5 participated in the field trip to Nature Center yesterday. According to Ms. Carlson, blanket field trip form is signed by the parents along with the summer camp application, and the details of each field trip are shared with parents via newsletter. A sign about each field trip is posted in the entrance area, and the master roster of attending children is taken to the field trip, and a copy is left at the facility. For each field trip, group leaders take a copy of children’s application including emergency contact, children’s pictures and EMC. Field trip details included in the newsletter for parents. “Swim Trip @ the Y” scheduled today (but cancelled) was planned for groups 2, 4, and 6 according to the newsletter for 12:30 – 3:00. The note explained about children above eight (8) years of age could take swim tests weekly. Children without passing swim test were required to wear a life jacket. I monitored one (1) vehicle today. B2 is used as a shuttle bus to transport children between Oakley Elementary School and Fairview Elementary School. Insurance and registration cards were maintained on the bus. The insurance is valid through 10/1/26, and the registration through 4/30/27. First aid kit and a fire extinguisher were safely mounted and maintained behind the back mirror. Assigned bus seat roster and master roster were maintained on the bus by staff members. Inside of the vehicle was clean and seats, windows and tires were in adequate condition.

Three (3) additional juveniles, two (2) children, who were thirteen, and one (1) child, who was fifteen (15) years of age, were present as Campers in Leadership Training (CILT). Their role was to help group leaders/camp counselors with art projects, decoration and shadowing them. During today’s visit, space 2A and 2B – cafeteria was not available for program to use due to waxing of the floors. Therefore, multiple groups shared space. In the gym, a group of fifteen (15) children in group#4 and nineteen (19) children in group #3 engaged in gross motor and other activities.

Theater was also used for summer program – soft things, doll house, accessories, games, fidget toys, pretend garden toys, books, felt materials, manipulatives and art materials were available for children. Staff files: Due to program inability to access to computer electronic system using their work computer, Will Deter, Association Director of Systems and Strategies, shared the electronic data with me in-person using his personal computer. Some documents could not be monitored due to the same issues. The following staff members were identified as existing staff members and their criminal background letters expiration date – identified as CBC, CPR/First Aid (FA) expiration date and BSAC training dates were monitored.

Armstrong was verified through the ABCMS, but the staff member was not linked with any program yet. W. Meyer was listed on the roster for Haw Creek site. Due to no record of criminal background check being completed for F. Frayne, I discussed this matter with A. Deter, Executive Director of Youth Services, who was on-site, and the staff member was instructed to leave the premises immediately until criminal background check was completed and the valid qualification letter was issued and filed. Children’s files: Children’s records were reviewed partially due to some documents not being available for review on-site. Parent authorization form for Albuterol – not on file initially but was found later during the visit. The permission form for I.L. singed and dated on 6/15/26 was verified. Parental authorization form for Ibuprofen – not on file – Per Ms. Carlson, the parent emailed the document to a group leader. Due to program’s inability to access computer electronic system, authorization form could not be verified during today’s visit. I used the Child Care Center Item Number Listing (DCDEE-0357) as a basic monitoring tool to assess compliance with all applicable child care requirements pertinent to this facility. For specific rule references, refer to Chapter 110 General Statues Child Care Facilities, Chapter nine (9) Child Care Rule (10A NCAC 09) and Section 2800 Sanitation of Child Care Center (15A NCAC 18A) for additional information.

Two (2) group leaders and one (1) program coordinator accompanied the children on the bus. Forty-two (42) children were registered to use the shuttle bus for this week, and twenty-eight (28) utilized the service today. A field trip to a pool was scheduled for today, but it was cancelled due to electrical issues at the pool. Per Ms. Carlson, children in group #1, 3, and 5 participated in the field trip to Nature Center yesterday. According to Ms. Carlson, blanket field trip form is signed by the parents along with the summer camp application, and the details of each field trip are shared with parents via newsletter. A sign about each field trip is posted in the entrance area, and the master roster of attending children is taken to the field trip, and a copy is left at the facility. For each field trip, group leaders take a copy of children’s application including emergency contact, children’s pictures and EMC. Field trip details included in the newsletter for parents. “Swim Trip @ the Y” scheduled today (but cancelled) was planned for groups 2, 4, and 6 according to the newsletter for 12:30 – 3:00. The note explained about children above eight (8) years of age could take swim tests weekly. Children without passing swim test were required to wear a life jacket. I monitored one (1) vehicle today.

Their role was to help group leaders/camp counselors with art projects, decoration and shadowing them. During today’s visit, space 2A and 2B – cafeteria was not available for program to use due to waxing of the floors. Therefore, multiple groups shared space. In the gym, a group of fifteen (15) children in group#4 and nineteen (19) children in group #3 engaged in gross motor and other activities.

Armstrong was verified through the ABCMS, but the staff member was not linked with any program yet. W. Meyer was listed on the roster for Haw Creek site. Due to no record of criminal background check being completed for F. Frayne, I discussed this matter with A. Deter, Executive Director of Youth Services, who was on-site, and the staff member was instructed to leave the premises immediately until criminal background check was completed and the valid qualification letter was issued and filed. Children’s files: Children’s records were reviewed partially due to some documents not being available for review on-site. Parent authorization form for Albuterol – not on file initially but was found later during the visit. The permission form for I.L. singed and dated on 6/15/26 was verified. Parental authorization form for Ibuprofen – not on file – Per Ms. Carlson, the parent emailed the document to a group leader. Due to program’s inability to access computer electronic system, authorization form could not be verified during today’s visit. I used the Child Care Center Item Number Listing (DCDEE-0357) as a basic monitoring tool to assess compliance with all applicable child care requirements pertinent to this facility. For specific rule references, refer to Chapter 110 General Statues Child Care Facilities, Chapter nine (9) Child Care Rule (10A NCAC 09) and Section 2800 Sanitation of Child Care Center (15A NCAC 18A) for additional information. Updated copies of these rules can be located on our website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ The program provides transportation. Per Ms. Carlson, a group of children are transported by shuttle bus from Oakley Elementary School to Fairview Elementary School in the morning. Two (2) group leaders and one (1) program coordinator accompanied the children on the bus. Forty-two (42) children were registered to use the shuttle bus for this week, and twenty-eight (28) utilized the service today. A field trip to a pool was scheduled for today, but it was cancelled due to electrical issues at the pool. Per Ms. Carlson, children in group #1, 3, and 5 participated in the field trip to Nature Center yesterday. According to Ms. Carlson, blanket field trip form is signed by the parents along with the summer camp application, and the details of each field trip are shared with parents via newsletter. A sign about each field trip is posted in the entrance area, and the master roster of attending children is taken to the field trip, and a copy is left at the facility. For each field trip, group leaders take a copy of children’s application including emergency contact, children’s pictures and EMC. Field trip details included in the newsletter for parents. “Swim Trip @ the Y” scheduled today (but cancelled) was planned for groups 2, 4, and 6 according to the newsletter for 12:30 – 3:00. The note explained about children above eight (8) years of age could take swim tests weekly. Children without passing swim test were required to wear a life jacket. I monitored one (1) vehicle today. B2 is used as a shuttle bus to transport children between Oakley Elementary School and Fairview Elementary School. Insurance and registration cards were maintained on the bus. The insurance is valid through 10/1/26, and the registration through 4/30/27. First aid kit and a fire extinguisher were safely mounted and maintained behind the back mirror.

Three (3) additional juveniles, two (2) children, who were thirteen, and one (1) child, who was fifteen (15) years of age, were present as Campers in Leadership Training (CILT). Their role was to help group leaders/camp counselors with art projects, decoration and shadowing them. During today’s visit, space 2A and 2B – cafeteria was not available for program to use due to waxing of the floors. Therefore, multiple groups shared space. In the gym, a group of fifteen (15) children in group#4 and nineteen (19) children in group #3 engaged in gross motor and other activities.

Theater was also used for summer program – soft things, doll house, accessories, games, fidget toys, pretend garden toys, books, felt materials, manipulatives and art materials were available for children. Staff files: Due to program inability to access to computer electronic system using their work computer, Will Deter, Association Director of Systems and Strategies, shared the electronic data with me in-person using his personal computer. Some documents could not be monitored due to the same issues. The following staff members were identified as existing staff members and their criminal background letters expiration date – identified as CBC, CPR/First Aid (FA) expiration date and BSAC training dates were monitored.

Armstrong was verified through the ABCMS, but the staff member was not linked with any program yet. W. Meyer was listed on the roster for Haw Creek site. Due to no record of criminal background check being completed for F. Frayne, I discussed this matter with A. Deter, Executive Director of Youth Services, who was on-site, and the staff member was instructed to leave the premises immediately until criminal background check was completed and the valid qualification letter was issued and filed. Children’s files: Children’s records were reviewed partially due to some documents not being available for review on-site. Parent authorization form for Albuterol – not on file initially but was found later during the visit. The permission form for I.L. singed and dated on 6/15/26 was verified. Parental authorization form for Ibuprofen – not on file – Per Ms. Carlson, the parent emailed the document to a group leader. Due to program’s inability to access computer electronic system, authorization form could not be verified during today’s visit. I used the Child Care Center Item Number Listing (DCDEE-0357) as a basic monitoring tool to assess compliance with all applicable child care requirements pertinent to this facility. For specific rule references, refer to Chapter 110 General Statues Child Care Facilities, Chapter nine (9) Child Care Rule (10A NCAC 09) and Section 2800 Sanitation of Child Care Center (15A NCAC 18A) for additional information.

Two (2) group leaders and one (1) program coordinator accompanied the children on the bus. Forty-two (42) children were registered to use the shuttle bus for this week, and twenty-eight (28) utilized the service today. A field trip to a pool was scheduled for today, but it was cancelled due to electrical issues at the pool. Per Ms. Carlson, children in group #1, 3, and 5 participated in the field trip to Nature Center yesterday. According to Ms. Carlson, blanket field trip form is signed by the parents along with the summer camp application, and the details of each field trip are shared with parents via newsletter. A sign about each field trip is posted in the entrance area, and the master roster of attending children is taken to the field trip, and a copy is left at the facility. For each field trip, group leaders take a copy of children’s application including emergency contact, children’s pictures and EMC. Field trip details included in the newsletter for parents. “Swim Trip @ the Y” scheduled today (but cancelled) was planned for groups 2, 4, and 6 according to the newsletter for 12:30 – 3:00. The note explained about children above eight (8) years of age could take swim tests weekly. Children without passing swim test were required to wear a life jacket. I monitored one (1) vehicle today.

Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated.

Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted.

Achieving Compliance: 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. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately.

As child care providers, you are a vital part in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment! You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. It is the center operator’s responsibility to make sure each staff person has registered for a WORKS account, submit an official transcript (if applicable) and apply for a position for evaluation.

Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted.

New and terminated staff notification requirement As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. Achieving Compliance: 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. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information.

Asbestos testing: I discussed required enrollment for asbestos hazards testing for the facility with Ms. Burke. Lead paint was completed for this facility and exempt, but there was no record on asbestos for this facility. Lead paint and asbestos enrollments were often completed on the same day and get exempted together. Due to this reason, no violations regarding asbestos testing was documented until future information is available. If you elect to change and/or alter any previously approved spaces used by children as indicated on the approved indoor and outdoor floor plan, you will need to contact me within thirty (30) days prior to the change. Failure to notify a DCDEE representative may result in a violation of child care requirements.

Even though two (2) staff members were positioned to supervise most of the areas, I strongly recommend closing the gate to the playground. Several children sat on the bench by the gate and ate snacks. There is a road right next to the gate, and a group leader back was against them sometimes. For the safety of the children, use all available tools to maximize the safety protocol. Per license permit, you are exempt from rules for a safe environment outdoors. However, supervision rules still apply. Lead Paint and Asbestos Testing: In April 2023, North Carolina enacted final rules 10A NCAC 41C .1001-1007 requiring all public schools and child care facilities to: Test for lead in drinking/cooking water (.1005 and .2816), Identify lead-based paint hazards (.1004), Identify asbestos hazards (.1003), Mitigate or restrict access to any identified hazards. Testing is required to be completed by May 31, 2025. New and terminated staff notification requirement: As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. If you elect to change and/or alter any previously approved spaces used by children as indicated on the approved indoor and outdoor floor plan, you will need to contact me within thirty (30) days prior to the change. Failure to notify a DCDEE representative may result in a violation of child care requirements.

Consultation is provided as follows: Record: Please submit the following documentation to me: • Emergency Information form • Medical statement • TB screening • Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training certificate • BSAC certificate Supervision on the playground: The large playground was used during the visit. Even though two (2) staff members were positioned to supervise most of the areas, I strongly recommend closing the gate to the playground. Several children sat on the bench by the gate and ate snacks. There is a road right next to the gate, and a group leader back was against them sometimes. For the safety of the children, use all available tools to maximize the safety protocol. Per license permit, you are exempt from rules for a safe environment outdoors. However, supervision rules still apply. Lead Paint and Asbestos Testing: In April 2023, North Carolina enacted final rules 10A NCAC 41C .1001-1007 requiring all public schools and child care facilities to: Test for lead in drinking/cooking water (.1005 and .2816), Identify lead-based paint hazards (.1004), Identify asbestos hazards (.1003), Mitigate or restrict access to any identified hazards. Testing is required to be completed by May 31, 2025. New and terminated staff notification requirement: As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. If you elect to change and/or alter any previously approved spaces used by children as indicated on the approved indoor and outdoor floor plan, you will need to contact me within thirty (30) days prior to the change. Failure to notify a DCDEE representative may result in a violation of child care requirements. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) states “Each operator shall schedule and obtain a fire inspection within 12 months of the center's previous fire inspection. The operator shall notify the local fire inspector when it is time for the center's annual fire inspection. The operator shall submit the original of the approved annual fire inspection report to the Division within one week of the inspection visit on the form provided by the Division.” As child care providers, you are a vital part in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment! You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. It is the center operator’s responsibility to make sure each staff person has registered for a WORKS account, submit an official transcript (if applicable) and apply for a position for evaluation. This should be completed immediately upon hiring or at the latest, by the end of the six-week orientation process. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2830 (c) If employment-related changes occur at a facility that result in the operator not complying with the standards in the Section for the star rating issued, the operator shall correct the noncompliance within 120 days.

Lead Paint and Asbestos Testing: In April 2023, North Carolina enacted final rules 10A NCAC 41C .1001-1007 requiring all public schools and child care facilities to: Test for lead in drinking/cooking water (.1005 and .2816), Identify lead-based paint hazards (.1004), Identify asbestos hazards (.1003), Mitigate or restrict access to any identified hazards. Testing is required to be completed by May 31, 2025. New and terminated staff notification requirement: As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. If you elect to change and/or alter any previously approved spaces used by children as indicated on the approved indoor and outdoor floor plan, you will need to contact me within thirty (30) days prior to the change. Failure to notify a DCDEE representative may result in a violation of child care requirements. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) states “Each operator shall schedule and obtain a fire inspection within 12 months of the center's previous fire inspection. The operator shall notify the local fire inspector when it is time for the center's annual fire inspection. The operator shall submit the original of the approved annual fire inspection report to the Division within one week of the inspection visit on the form provided by the Division.” As child care providers, you are a vital part in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment! You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. It is the center operator’s responsibility to make sure each staff person has registered for a WORKS account, submit an official transcript (if applicable) and apply for a position for evaluation. This should be completed immediately upon hiring or at the latest, by the end of the six-week orientation process. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2830 (c) If employment-related changes occur at a facility that result in the operator not complying with the standards in the Section for the star rating issued, the operator shall correct the noncompliance within 120 days. If the operator does not correct the noncompliance within 120 days, the operator shall notify the Division.

Achieving Compliance: 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. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit will be conducted. The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. Send me a letter of compliance describing in detail specifically how each violation was corrected and how compliance will be maintained in the future. Include the following: • Facility name • Facility ID# • Date of visit • Violation item number • Signed statement of compliance I must receive your compliance statement by 5/28/25.

You will need to mail a compliance statement three to five days prior to the due date to ensure receipt is within the designated timeline. Failure to correct the violations and send the written statement by the due date listed above may result in an unannounced follow-up visit being conducted. Based on Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 Section .2200, the Division of Child Development may take administrative action against the license and/or impose civil penalties based on the failure of the operator to correct any documented violations within the established time period. Consultation is provided as follows: Record: Please submit the following documentation to me: • Emergency Information form • Medical statement • TB screening • Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training certificate • BSAC certificate Supervision on the playground: The large playground was used during the visit. Even though two (2) staff members were positioned to supervise most of the areas, I strongly recommend closing the gate to the playground. Several children sat on the bench by the gate and ate snacks. There is a road right next to the gate, and a group leader back was against them sometimes. For the safety of the children, use all available tools to maximize the safety protocol. Per license permit, you are exempt from rules for a safe environment outdoors. However, supervision rules still apply. Lead Paint and Asbestos Testing: In April 2023, North Carolina enacted final rules 10A NCAC 41C .1001-1007 requiring all public schools and child care facilities to: Test for lead in drinking/cooking water (.1005 and .2816), Identify lead-based paint hazards (.1004), Identify asbestos hazards (.1003), Mitigate or restrict access to any identified hazards. Testing is required to be completed by May 31, 2025. New and terminated staff notification requirement: As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. If you elect to change and/or alter any previously approved spaces used by children as indicated on the approved indoor and outdoor floor plan, you will need to contact me within thirty (30) days prior to the change. Failure to notify a DCDEE representative may result in a violation of child care requirements. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) states “Each operator shall schedule and obtain a fire inspection within 12 months of the center's previous fire inspection. The operator shall notify the local fire inspector when it is time for the center's annual fire inspection. The operator shall submit the original of the approved annual fire inspection report to the Division within one week of the inspection visit on the form provided by the Division.” As child care providers, you are a vital part in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment! You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. It is the center operator’s responsibility to make sure each staff person has registered for a WORKS account, submit an official transcript (if applicable) and apply for a position for evaluation. This should be completed immediately upon hiring or at the latest, by the end of the six-week orientation process. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2830 (c) If employment-related changes occur at a facility that result in the operator not complying with the standards in the Section for the star rating issued, the operator shall correct the noncompliance within 120 days.

Consultation is provided as follows: Plan to review the importance of reporting to a Group Leader before a child leaves the group to go to the restroom in the hallway. As a reminder, only children nine years of age and older do not need to be directly supervised to use the restroom. Children under nine years of age must be seen or heard to be adequately supervised. Please see the rule reference below regarding supervision of school ages children: 10A NCAC 09 .2506 GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS (d) All children shall be adequately supervised. Adequate supervision means staff shall be with the group of children and able to hear or see each child in his or her care, except: (1) Children who are developmentally able may be permitted to go to the restroom independently, provided that: (A) staff members' proximity to children assures immediate intervention to safeguard a child from harm; (B) individuals who are not staff members may not enter the restroom area while in use by any child; and (C) children up to nine years of age are supervised by staff members who are able to hear the child. Children nine years of age and older are not required to be directly supervised, however, staff members shall know the whereabouts of children who have left their group to use the restroom; (2) Adequate supervision for children nine years of age and older means that staff are with the group of children and able to hear or see each child in his or her care. A staff member shall accompany any children who leave the group to go indoors or outdoors; The authorization to administer the prescription medication rizatriptan must be updated by 3/9/24, the expiration date of the prescription. Currently the parent has signed the authorization form effective 4/22/23-8/30/24. Plan to obtain an update authorization form for this medication by 3/9/24. Please see the medication administration rule below: 10A NCAC 09 .0803 ADMINISTERING MEDICATION IN CHILD CARE CENTERS The following provisions apply to the administration of medication in child care centers: (3) A parent's written authorization for the administration of a prescription medication described in Item (2) of this Rule shall be valid for the length of time the medication is prescribed to be taken. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Stabilization Grant, please contact Kaitlyn Marshall, Child Care Consultant, at 828-713-8192 or email kaitlyn.marshall@dhhs.nc.gov. If you elect to change and/or alter any previously approved spaces used by children as indicated on the approved indoor and outdoor floor plan, you will need to contact me within thirty (30) days prior to the change. Failure to notify a DCDEE representative may result in a violation of child care requirements. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) states “Each operator shall schedule and obtain a fire inspection within 12 months of the center's previous fire inspection. The operator shall notify the local fire inspector when it is time for the center's annual fire inspection. The operator shall submit the original of the approved annual fire inspection report to the Division within one week of the inspection visit on the form provided by the Division.” As child care providers, you are a vital part in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment! You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2830 MAINTAINING THE STAR RATING (a)A representative of the Division may make announced or unannounced visits to facilities to assess on-going compliance with the requirements of a star rating after it has been issued. Your facility has been placed in cohort 2. Your Prep Year will be 7/1/24-6/30/25. Your Reassessment year will be 7/1/25-6/30/26. It is the center operator’s responsibility to make sure each staff person has registered for a WORKS account, submit an official transcript (if applicable) and apply for a position for evaluation. This should be completed immediately upon hiring or at the latest, by the end of the six-week orientation process. Failure to maintain the same education point level may result in a violation of the above rule reference and may result in a reduction of stars. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2830 (c) If employment-related changes occur at a facility that result in the operator not complying with the standards in the Section for the star rating issued, the operator shall correct the noncompliance within 120 days. If the operator does not correct the noncompliance within 120 days, the operator shall notify the Division. It is your responsibility to understand the health and safety requirements in child care rule .1102. If the program is out of compliance in accordance with health and safety requirements, Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG), it may affect subsidy funding.
