In interest centers, children practiced writing, played with sheer scarves, bubbles, and danced to children’s music. T. Christian reminded children to wash their hands before and after playing in sensory play as they dumped and filled containers. Children engaged in building structures with colored magnetic tiles with toy vehicles and manipulating shape framed alphabet puzzles. In the outdoor area, children rode tricycles, climbed on stationary equipment, and played with hoops, blocks, and toy excavators. Teachers assisted a child with toileting and guided them to be independent in the bathroom in preparation for mealtime. Lunch served was corndog nuggets, sweet potato fries, fresh bananas, and milk. A checklist was used to note the requirements monitored during today’s visit. An updated staff and training worksheet was received and updated. All staff files were monitored.

Tiffany Christian, Lead Teacher, and Nasha Newman, Teacher, were present and accompanied me while observing the indoor area. I observed the outdoor area unaccompanied by a staff member. Upon arrival, children were sitting on the carpet in circle time engaged in a discussion about weather. Children watched a video clip of “What is Weather?” T. Christian introduced children to different types of clouds and what type of weather produces rain, snow, lighting/thunder, and rainbows. Children listened attentively and identified types of weather that represented “In Like A Lion and Out Like A Lamb”. Children were encouraged to chart the weather for the day using markers and sticky notes. T. Christian guided the children as they transitioned from morning group time to free choice activities and reviewed activities added to centers that represented different types of weather. In activity centers, children were engaged in building structures with cardboard unit blocks and vehicles, playing with dramatic play materials, manipulating playdough with tools on activity mats, and making paper lions and lambs in art using construction paper, and cotton balls. Teachers monitored children completing personal care routines and hand washing throughout the visit. For lunch children were served hamburger on wheat bun, sliced cheese, sweet potato fries, chilled pears, and milk. Following lunch, children completed handwashing and prepared for rest time. I observed children resting on individual cots with clean linen. A checklist was used to note the requirements I monitored today. A completed staff and training worksheet was received and updated during today’s visit. Children’s Record worksheet was completed for two (2) children’s files monitored.

Space #C12 of the facility serves children participating in the NC Pre-K program. The previous Annual Compliance Visit was completed March 29, 2023, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score is 97%, which exceeds requirements as outlined in North Carolina General Statute 110-90(4)(c-d). This program currently operates with a five (5) Star License issued January 31, 2020. The License was based on the program earning seven (7) points in education standards, seven (7) points in program standards, and one (1) quality point by choosing to meet an educational option: Has reduced group size by one in each group from the seven point level as required in Rule .2818 (c). The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by Tiffany Christian. Current Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of superior completed December 7, 2023. Fire Classification of approved for day time care only completed September 8, 2023. Tiffany Christian, Lead Teacher, and Nasha Newman, Teacher, were present and accompanied me while observing the indoor area. I observed the outdoor area unaccompanied by a staff member. Upon arrival, children were sitting on the carpet in circle time engaged in a discussion about weather. Children watched a video clip of “What is Weather?” T. Christian introduced children to different types of clouds and what type of weather produces rain, snow, lighting/thunder, and rainbows. Children listened attentively and identified types of weather that represented “In Like A Lion and Out Like A Lamb”. Children were encouraged to chart the weather for the day using markers and sticky notes. T. Christian guided the children as they transitioned from morning group time to free choice activities and reviewed activities added to centers that represented different types of weather. In activity centers, children were engaged in building structures with cardboard unit blocks and vehicles, playing with dramatic play materials, manipulating playdough with tools on activity mats, and making paper lions and lambs in art using construction paper, and cotton balls. Teachers monitored children completing personal care routines and hand washing throughout the visit. For lunch children were served hamburger on wheat bun, sliced cheese, sweet potato fries, chilled pears, and milk. Following lunch, children completed handwashing and prepared for rest time. I observed children resting on individual cots with clean linen. A checklist was used to note the requirements I monitored today. A completed staff and training worksheet was received and updated during today’s visit. Children’s Record worksheet was completed for two (2) children’s files monitored. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with T. Christian. The following violation was observed: Violation Number Comment Rule 1054 Documentation of staff's on-going training was not on file and/or was not current. Documentation of on-going training was not on file for staff member C.Y. The violation was corrected when the staff member emailed the agenda of a professional development meeting on March 6, 2024 to the lead teacher. The information was recorded on the On-going training log and a copy of the meeting agenda was attached. 10A NCAC 09 .1106(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. Violations observed and documented today may impact the compliance history score. The violation observed was corrected during today's visit therefore a compliance letter is not required. Facility Specific TA/Reminders: A violation was cited for on-going trainings not being on file or documented on the On-going Training Log. As a reminder, updated training certificates for on-going trainings must be recorded on the On-going Training Log. For more information, please refer to Child Care Rule NCAC 10 NCAC 09 .1106 (a). Challenging Behaviors: Do you have children who bite? Do children struggle to focus during circle time? Do challenging behaviors cause difficult transitions? Do you spend all day managing behavior?
