As part of this orientation, each new employee shall complete six hours of orientation within the first two weeks of employment.

Annual On-Going Training Requirements A violation was cited today regarding a staff member not completing the required amount of annual training hours.

It is your responsibility to keep the staff and training worksheet(s) current for the consultant to review during annual compliance visits.

Refer to child care requirement 09.1103 for the number of required training hours based on education and experience. Staff Files Five violations were cited today, because there were a variety of required items missing from staff files. Prior to employment, it is best practice to ensure the Staff File Checklist is completed. The items required are notated on the form and it also list timeframes for other required documents. This helps to determine if all items are on file and available for review. In addition, make sure that you have the most recent Staff File Checklist for Centers. The Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) website provides updated forms and resources.

Please refer to Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0701, 10A NCAC 09 .0704, and10A NCAC 09 .2408 for more information regarding this rule requirement. Children’s Records A violation was cited today regarding a child’s medical records. Quality child care requires information about the child’s health status and need for accommodations in child care. The requirement of a health report for each child reflecting completion of health assessments and immunizations is a valid way to ensure timely preventive care for children who might not otherwise receive it and can be used in decision-making at the time of admission and during ongoing care. The administrator stated that she will contact the parent and ask them to bring the required document during pickup today or drop-off tomorrow morning. For more information about child medical record requirements, refer to child care rules 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d), .0304(g), and NC General Statute 110-91(1). NC Foundations of Early Learning & Development (NCFELD) During today’s visit, I discussed access and use of the NCFELD book in the development of activity planning as required by NC Child Care Rule 10A NCAC .0508 regarding activity schedules and plans.

Box 9939 Fayetteville, NC 28311 tiffany.L.reed@dhhs.nc.gov If you email the compliance letter, you must include a signature block, which contains your name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Childcare ID# 12345678 Technical Assistance: Documentation of Orientation Violations were cited today regarding the documentation of a recently hired staff member’s orientation.

As part of this orientation, each new employee shall complete six hours of orientation within the first two weeks of employment. We reviewed the required topics for staff orientation in child care rule .1101(a). We discussed designating tasks to the assistant director as needed to ensure that staff orientation requirements remain in compliance. Annual On-Going Training Requirements A violation was cited today regarding a staff member not completing the required amount of annual training hours. The staff and training worksheet was updated during today’s visit. It is your responsibility to keep the staff and training worksheet(s) current for the consultant to review during annual compliance visits. Reminder: After the first year of employment, the child care administrator and any staff who work with children, shall participate in on-going training activities annually. Refer to child care requirement 09.1103 for the number of required training hours based on education and experience. Staff Files Five violations were cited today, because there were a variety of required items missing from staff files. Prior to employment, it is best practice to ensure the Staff File Checklist is completed. The items required are notated on the form and it also list timeframes for other required documents. This helps to determine if all items are on file and available for review. In addition, make sure that you have the most recent Staff File Checklist for Centers. The Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) website provides updated forms and resources. A blank copy of the Staff File and children file Checklist was left with you during today’s visit. Forms can be located by visiting https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov, The form can be found by selecting Provider tab then select Provider Documents and Forms.

Children’s Records A violation was cited today regarding a child’s medical records. Quality child care requires information about the child’s health status and need for accommodations in child care. The requirement of a health report for each child reflecting completion of health assessments and immunizations is a valid way to ensure timely preventive care for children who might not otherwise receive it and can be used in decision-making at the time of admission and during ongoing care. The administrator stated that she will contact the parent and ask them to bring the required document during pickup today or drop-off tomorrow morning. For more information about child medical record requirements, refer to child care rules 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d), .0304(g), and NC General Statute 110-91(1). NC Foundations of Early Learning & Development (NCFELD) During today’s visit, I discussed access and use of the NCFELD book in the development of activity planning as required by NC Child Care Rule 10A NCAC .0508 regarding activity schedules and plans.

The statement must describe accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. If the letter states that corrections have been made when they have not, this may be considered falsification of information.

Box 9939 Fayetteville, NC 28311 tiffany.L.reed@dhhs.nc.gov If you email the compliance letter, you must include a signature block, which contains your name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Childcare ID# 12345678 Technical Assistance: Documentation of Orientation Violations were cited today regarding the documentation of a recently hired staff member’s orientation. According to child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .1101(a), each center shall ensure that each new employee who is expected to have contact with children receives 16 hours of on-site orientation within the first six weeks of employment. As part of this orientation, each new employee shall complete six hours of orientation within the first two weeks of employment. We reviewed the required topics for staff orientation in child care rule .1101(a). We discussed designating tasks to the assistant director as needed to ensure that staff orientation requirements remain in compliance. Annual On-Going Training Requirements A violation was cited today regarding a staff member not completing the required amount of annual training hours. The staff and training worksheet was updated during today’s visit. It is your responsibility to keep the staff and training worksheet(s) current for the consultant to review during annual compliance visits. Reminder: After the first year of employment, the child care administrator and any staff who work with children, shall participate in on-going training activities annually. Refer to child care requirement 09.1103 for the number of required training hours based on education and experience. Staff Files Five violations were cited today, because there were a variety of required items missing from staff files. Prior to employment, it is best practice to ensure the Staff File Checklist is completed. The items required are notated on the form and it also list timeframes for other required documents. This helps to determine if all items are on file and available for review. In addition, make sure that you have the most recent Staff File Checklist for Centers. The Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) website provides updated forms and resources. A blank copy of the Staff File and children file Checklist was left with you during today’s visit. Forms can be located by visiting https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov, The form can be found by selecting Provider tab then select Provider Documents and Forms. Please refer to Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0701, 10A NCAC 09 .0704, and10A NCAC 09 .2408 for more information regarding this rule requirement. Children’s Records A violation was cited today regarding a child’s medical records. Quality child care requires information about the child’s health status and need for accommodations in child care. The requirement of a health report for each child reflecting completion of health assessments and immunizations is a valid way to ensure timely preventive care for children who might not otherwise receive it and can be used in decision-making at the time of admission and during ongoing care. The administrator stated that she will contact the parent and ask them to bring the required document during pickup today or drop-off tomorrow morning. For more information about child medical record requirements, refer to child care rules 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d), .0304(g), and NC General Statute 110-91(1). NC Foundations of Early Learning & Development (NCFELD) During today’s visit, I discussed access and use of the NCFELD book in the development of activity planning as required by NC Child Care Rule 10A NCAC .0508 regarding activity schedules and plans. Your program didn’t have a copy of the publication. A copy was left with you. Additionally, the publication is available on-line, free of charge, at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Portals/0/documents/pdf/N/NC_Foundations.pdf Training on use of the publication is available through our Partnership for Children, so please encourage Lead Teachers to visit their website ( https://ccpfc.org/ ) and complete the training. Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Infant and early childhood mental health supports the development in young children of key social and emotional skills, like empathy, self-regulation and communication, which are vital for building healthy relationships and going through life. A new webpage by the Division of Child and Family Well-Being (DCFW) shares information and resources about infant and early childhood mental health in family-friendly language.

Violations observed and documented today may impact the compliance history score. The violations observed and documented today must be corrected immediately. Additionally, by 5:00pm on July 23, 2025, you must submit a written, dated, and signed statement to me. The statement must describe accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. If the letter states that corrections have been made when they have not, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit may be completed. Mail or email the information to: Tiffany Reed Child Care Consultant P.O. Box 9939 Fayetteville, NC 28311 tiffany.L.reed@dhhs.nc.gov If you email the compliance letter, you must include a signature block, which contains your name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Childcare ID# 12345678 Technical Assistance: Documentation of Orientation Violations were cited today regarding the documentation of a recently hired staff member’s orientation. According to child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .1101(a), each center shall ensure that each new employee who is expected to have contact with children receives 16 hours of on-site orientation within the first six weeks of employment. As part of this orientation, each new employee shall complete six hours of orientation within the first two weeks of employment. We reviewed the required topics for staff orientation in child care rule .1101(a). We discussed designating tasks to the assistant director as needed to ensure that staff orientation requirements remain in compliance. Annual On-Going Training Requirements A violation was cited today regarding a staff member not completing the required amount of annual training hours. The staff and training worksheet was updated during today’s visit. It is your responsibility to keep the staff and training worksheet(s) current for the consultant to review during annual compliance visits. Reminder: After the first year of employment, the child care administrator and any staff who work with children, shall participate in on-going training activities annually. Refer to child care requirement 09.1103 for the number of required training hours based on education and experience. Staff Files Five violations were cited today, because there were a variety of required items missing from staff files. Prior to employment, it is best practice to ensure the Staff File Checklist is completed. The items required are notated on the form and it also list timeframes for other required documents. This helps to determine if all items are on file and available for review. In addition, make sure that you have the most recent Staff File Checklist for Centers. The Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) website provides updated forms and resources. A blank copy of the Staff File and children file Checklist was left with you during today’s visit. Forms can be located by visiting https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov, The form can be found by selecting Provider tab then select Provider Documents and Forms. Please refer to Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0701, 10A NCAC 09 .0704, and10A NCAC 09 .2408 for more information regarding this rule requirement. Children’s Records A violation was cited today regarding a child’s medical records. Quality child care requires information about the child’s health status and need for accommodations in child care. The requirement of a health report for each child reflecting completion of health assessments and immunizations is a valid way to ensure timely preventive care for children who might not otherwise receive it and can be used in decision-making at the time of admission and during ongoing care. The administrator stated that she will contact the parent and ask them to bring the required document during pickup today or drop-off tomorrow morning. For more information about child medical record requirements, refer to child care rules 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d), .0304(g), and NC General Statute 110-91(1). NC Foundations of Early Learning & Development (NCFELD) During today’s visit, I discussed access and use of the NCFELD book in the development of activity planning as required by NC Child Care Rule 10A NCAC .0508 regarding activity schedules and plans. Your program didn’t have a copy of the publication. A copy was left with you. Additionally, the publication is available on-line, free of charge, at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Portals/0/documents/pdf/N/NC_Foundations.pdf Training on use of the publication is available through our Partnership for Children, so please encourage Lead Teachers to visit their website ( https://ccpfc.org/ ) and complete the training. Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Infant and early childhood mental health supports the development in young children of key social and emotional skills, like empathy, self-regulation and communication, which are vital for building healthy relationships and going through life. A new webpage by the Division of Child and Family Well-Being (DCFW) shares information and resources about infant and early childhood mental health in family-friendly language.

According to child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .1101(a), each center shall ensure that each new employee who is expected to have contact with children receives 16 hours of on-site orientation within the first six weeks of employment. As part of this orientation, each new employee shall complete six hours of orientation within the first two weeks of employment. We reviewed the required topics for staff orientation in child care rule .1101(a). We discussed designating tasks to the assistant director as needed to ensure that staff orientation requirements remain in compliance. Annual On-Going Training Requirements A violation was cited today regarding a staff member not completing the required amount of annual training hours. The staff and training worksheet was updated during today’s visit. It is your responsibility to keep the staff and training worksheet(s) current for the consultant to review during annual compliance visits. Reminder: After the first year of employment, the child care administrator and any staff who work with children, shall participate in on-going training activities annually. Refer to child care requirement 09.1103 for the number of required training hours based on education and experience. Staff Files Five violations were cited today, because there were a variety of required items missing from staff files. Prior to employment, it is best practice to ensure the Staff File Checklist is completed. The items required are notated on the form and it also list timeframes for other required documents. This helps to determine if all items are on file and available for review. In addition, make sure that you have the most recent Staff File Checklist for Centers. The Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) website provides updated forms and resources. A blank copy of the Staff File and children file Checklist was left with you during today’s visit. Forms can be located by visiting https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov, The form can be found by selecting Provider tab then select Provider Documents and Forms. Please refer to Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0701, 10A NCAC 09 .0704, and10A NCAC 09 .2408 for more information regarding this rule requirement. Children’s Records A violation was cited today regarding a child’s medical records. Quality child care requires information about the child’s health status and need for accommodations in child care. The requirement of a health report for each child reflecting completion of health assessments and immunizations is a valid way to ensure timely preventive care for children who might not otherwise receive it and can be used in decision-making at the time of admission and during ongoing care. The administrator stated that she will contact the parent and ask them to bring the required document during pickup today or drop-off tomorrow morning. For more information about child medical record requirements, refer to child care rules 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d), .0304(g), and NC General Statute 110-91(1). NC Foundations of Early Learning & Development (NCFELD) During today’s visit, I discussed access and use of the NCFELD book in the development of activity planning as required by NC Child Care Rule 10A NCAC .0508 regarding activity schedules and plans. Your program didn’t have a copy of the publication. A copy was left with you. Additionally, the publication is available on-line, free of charge, at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Portals/0/documents/pdf/N/NC_Foundations.pdf Training on use of the publication is available through our Partnership for Children, so please encourage Lead Teachers to visit their website ( https://ccpfc.org/ ) and complete the training. Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Infant and early childhood mental health supports the development in young children of key social and emotional skills, like empathy, self-regulation and communication, which are vital for building healthy relationships and going through life. A new webpage by the Division of Child and Family Well-Being (DCFW) shares information and resources about infant and early childhood mental health in family-friendly language.

Facility Specific TA/Reminders: Staff Files A violation was cited today for not having documentation of orientation on file for four staff members. All new full-time staff, part-time staff and substitutes should be oriented to child care rules, policies, and any other aspects of their role. The topics covered and the dates of orientation training should be documented. Orientation ensures that all staff members receive specific and basic training for the work they will be doing and are informed about their new responsibilities. Because of frequent staff turnover, directors should institute orientation programs on a regular basis. The legal designee stated that the staff have been orientated, but she did not document their orientation. She printed out blank copies of the orientation documentation form from the DCDEE website and stated that she will document the orientation as soon as possible. More information about staff orientation requirements can be found in child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .1101(a-b). If you have questions, please contact me at: (910) 605-2367 or tiffany.L.reed@dhhs.nc.gov.

The previous Annual Compliance Visit was completed July 11, 2024, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score was at 97%, which is at or above 75%, as required by North Carolina General Statute 110-90(4)(c-d). This program currently operates with a three Star License issued February 10, 2022. The License was based on the program earning 4 points in education standards, 2 points in program standards, and one quality point by choosing to meet a programmatic option using an age developmentally appropriate curriculum. The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by Barbara King, Board Chair. Current Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of Superior was completed on July 31, 2024. Fire Classification of Approved for Day Time Care Only was completed on March 12, 2024. Allegations are as follows: There is a concern that a child was left unsupervised. I was greeted today by Scherell Seldon, Interim Administrator. Barbara King, Board Chair, arrived later during the visit. Upon my arrival, there were twenty-nine (29) children and six (6) teachers present. Children were observed participating in free-choice activities. The children had access to developmentally appropriate blocks, literacy, fine motor, and dramatic-play materials. According to the menu, afternoon snack consisted of club crackers, mixed fruit, and water. The allegations were discussed with the interim administrator. I interviewed the administrator and two additional teachers. The administrator stated that today was her second day assuming administrator responsibilities. She was unaware of any incidents regarding supervision. Both teachers stated that a child in their classroom was unintentionally left in the bathroom while they were transitioning from their classroom to the playground. They were not sure how long the child was left unsupervised. Another teacher found the child and brought him back to the rest of his assigned group. The incident was immediately reported to the assistant director, who is no longer employed at the facility. Camera footage was not available for review. Based on the information gathered and observations made, the allegation of violations of child care requirements pertaining to a child being left unsupervised is substantiated. Two recently-hired staff member's files were reviewed. One staff member did not have a valid medical report on file. One staff member did not have a valid TB Test/Screening on file.

    Name of Operation: CAMPGROUND PRESCHOOL & CHILD CARE Facility ID: 26002506 Consultant: TIFFANY REED Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 1/9/2025 Number Present: 48 Completed Date: 1/9/2025 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 285 Time In: 09:30 AM Time Out: 02:15 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Routine Unannounced Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today's visit was to monitor compliance with applicable child care requirements pertinent to a Routine Unannounced Visit. The previous Annual Compliance Visit was completed July 11, 2024, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score was at 97%, which is at or above 75%, as required by North Carolina General Statute 110-90(4)(c-d). This program currently operates with a three Star License issued February 10, 2022.

Fire Classification of Approved for Day Time Care Only was completed on March 12, 2024. I was greeted today by L. Kelly, Administrator. Upon my arrival, there were forty-eight (48) children and eleven (11) teachers present. Children were observed participating in free-choice activities. The children had access to developmentally appropriate blocks, literacy, fine motor, creative art, and dramatic-play materials. In Space #1, children were observed participating in tummy-time activities with a teacher in a carpeted area. Other children were observed walking around the room with push toys. All bottles in the refrigerator were labeled with a child’s name and today’s date. In Space #2, children were observed participating in a block stacking activity with their teachers on the carpet. In Space #3, children were observed participating in a whole group activity, singing songs and counting while sitting on the carpet. In Space #4, children were observed building structures with magnetic tiles and solving puzzles in a carpeted area, stacking mega blocks in the block center, and pretending to bake a cake in the dramatic-play center. In Space #5, children were observed building structures with wooden blocks, Legos, and magnetic tiles in a carpeted area in the block center. Children were also observed lining up toy dinosaurs and farm animals on the carpet in the science center. Due to extremely cold weather, children were not observed participating in outdoor activities. However, the outdoor learning environment was monitored for playground safety requirements. Routine care and handwashing practices were observed. Lunch consisted of hamburger slider on whole wheat bun, ketchup, French fries, fruit cocktail, and milk. One recently hired staff member’s file was reviewed. One staff member did not have documentation of receiving at least 16 hours of orientation within the first 6 weeks of employment. One staff member did not have documentation of reviewing the Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR) plan during orientation. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with L. Kelly. The following violations were observed: Violation Number Comment Rule 1045 New staff, who had contact with children, did not receive at least 16 hrs. orientation within first 6 weeks. One staff member (A.L.) did not have documentation on file of receiving at least 16 hours of orientation within six weeks of employment (DOE: 10/31/2024). .1101(a) 1825 All staff did not review the center's EPR Plan during orientation and/or on an annual basis with the trained staff.

Box 9939 Fayetteville, NC 28311 tiffany.L.reed@dhhs.nc.gov If you email the compliance letter, you must include a signature block, which contains your name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Childcare ID# 12345678 Technical Assistance: Documentation of Orientation Violations were cited today regarding the documentation of a recently hired staff member’s orientation. According to child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .1101(a), each center shall ensure that each new employee who is expected to have contact with children receives 16 hours of on-site orientation within the first six weeks of employment. As part of this orientation, each new employee shall complete six hours of orientation within the first two weeks of employment. Additionally, child care rule 10A NCAC 09.0607(f) states that all staff shall review the center's Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during orientation and on an annual basis with the trained staff. Documentation of the review shall be maintained at the center in the individual's personnel file or in a file designated for emergency preparedness and response plan documents. We reviewed the required topics for staff orientation in child care rule .1101(a). We discussed designating tasks to the assistant director as needed to ensure that staff orientation requirements remain in compliance. Gross Motor Activities During Inclement Weather I suggested for the teachers to provide alternative gross motor activities during inclement weather. For example, dancing, exercising, or participating in a marching band. Infant/Toddler Classroom Observation I discussed the results of my observation in Space #2 with L. Kelly. Both teachers were engaged with the children and their activities. I encouraged L. Kelly to have staff continue to use visual supervision of all children by talking to each other and moving about the classroom. Continue to show awareness, reacting quickly, and solving problems in a comforting way. Continue to facilitate positive peer interaction, modeling positive social interaction, and explaining children’s actions, intentions, and feelings to other children. Positive interactions, through which children share joy with their caregivers, keep children engaged and encourage them to seek out and try new things. These actions lead to deeper engagement with their environment and more meaningful interactions with those around them. They also promote increased creativity and exploration, which are the building blocks for higher-order thinking. Preschool Classroom Observation I discussed the results of my observation in Space #4 with L. Kelly. I did not observe any interactions between the teachers and the children, other than directive interactions. Creating a language-rich environment by encouraging children to talk and teaching them how to use language to communicate is essential for language development. Children’s language expands when they are given opportunities to use language and when teachers model more complex language. By hearing various uses and forms of language, children develop new language skills, which contribute to their academic and social success. I encouraged L. Kelly to have staff use the following strategies for creating a language-rich environment: • Having conversations with children. • Repeating what children say, building on children’s communication attempts by expanding them into more complex expressions. • Describing what you and the children do as it’s happening. • Using descriptive words and complete sentences when talking to children; telling children what objects in the classroom are called; explaining what new words mean. Reminders: Fire Inspection According to your records, your fire inspection is due to expire on March 12, 2025. To remain in compliance with child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a), I encouraged the administrator to contact the local fire department or fire marshal to schedule and obtain an updated inspection prior to the expiration date. When the fire inspection has been completed, please send a copy of the fire inspection report to me within 7 days of the inspection visit. Teaching the Whole Child: Supporting the Social-Emotional Wellness of Preschool and School-Aged Children This free course explores the connection between students’ social-emotional development, learning, and wellness with their success in Pre-K and elementary school classrooms. The utility of attending to social-emotional wellness and ranges of typical development is discussed, as well as the impact of trauma on students and how school staff can support children in concrete ways to promote their social-emotional learning (SEL). This course is approved by the Division of Child Development and Early Education for 3 contact hours. For more information about the course, please visit https://bhs.unc.edu/teaching-whole-child-supporting-social-emotional-wellness-preschool-and-elementary-school-aged.

This program currently operates with a three Star License issued February 10, 2022. The License was based on the program earning 4 points in education standards, 2 points in program standards, and one quality point by choosing to meet a programmatic option using an age developmentally appropriate curriculum. The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by Lanette Kelly, Administrator. Current Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of Superior was completed on July 31, 2024. Fire Classification of Approved for Day Time Care Only was completed on March 12, 2024. I was greeted today by L. Kelly, Administrator. Upon my arrival, there were forty-eight (48) children and eleven (11) teachers present. Children were observed participating in free-choice activities. The children had access to developmentally appropriate blocks, literacy, fine motor, creative art, and dramatic-play materials. In Space #1, children were observed participating in tummy-time activities with a teacher in a carpeted area. Other children were observed walking around the room with push toys. All bottles in the refrigerator were labeled with a child’s name and today’s date. In Space #2, children were observed participating in a block stacking activity with their teachers on the carpet. In Space #3, children were observed participating in a whole group activity, singing songs and counting while sitting on the carpet. In Space #4, children were observed building structures with magnetic tiles and solving puzzles in a carpeted area, stacking mega blocks in the block center, and pretending to bake a cake in the dramatic-play center. In Space #5, children were observed building structures with wooden blocks, Legos, and magnetic tiles in a carpeted area in the block center. Children were also observed lining up toy dinosaurs and farm animals on the carpet in the science center. Due to extremely cold weather, children were not observed participating in outdoor activities. However, the outdoor learning environment was monitored for playground safety requirements. Routine care and handwashing practices were observed. Lunch consisted of hamburger slider on whole wheat bun, ketchup, French fries, fruit cocktail, and milk. One recently hired staff member’s file was reviewed. One staff member did not have documentation of receiving at least 16 hours of orientation within the first 6 weeks of employment. One staff member did not have documentation of reviewing the Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR) plan during orientation. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with L. Kelly. The following violations were observed: Violation Number Comment Rule 1045 New staff, who had contact with children, did not receive at least 16 hrs. orientation within first 6 weeks. One staff member (A.L.) did not have documentation on file of receiving at least 16 hours of orientation within six weeks of employment (DOE: 10/31/2024). .1101(a) 1825 All staff did not review the center's EPR Plan during orientation and/or on an annual basis with the trained staff. Documentation of the review was not maintained on file. One staff member (A.L.) did not have documentation of review of the EPR plan on file. .0607(f) 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 violations observed and documented today must be corrected immediately. Additionally, by 5:00pm on January 23, 2025, you must submit a written, dated, and signed statement to me. The statement must describe accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. If the letter states that corrections have been made when they have not, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit may be completed. Mail or email the information to: Tiffany Reed Child Care Consultant P.O. Box 9939 Fayetteville, NC 28311 tiffany.L.reed@dhhs.nc.gov If you email the compliance letter, you must include a signature block, which contains your name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Childcare ID# 12345678 Technical Assistance: Documentation of Orientation Violations were cited today regarding the documentation of a recently hired staff member’s orientation. According to child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .1101(a), each center shall ensure that each new employee who is expected to have contact with children receives 16 hours of on-site orientation within the first six weeks of employment. As part of this orientation, each new employee shall complete six hours of orientation within the first two weeks of employment. Additionally, child care rule 10A NCAC 09.0607(f) states that all staff shall review the center's Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during orientation and on an annual basis with the trained staff. Documentation of the review shall be maintained at the center in the individual's personnel file or in a file designated for emergency preparedness and response plan documents. We reviewed the required topics for staff orientation in child care rule .1101(a). We discussed designating tasks to the assistant director as needed to ensure that staff orientation requirements remain in compliance. Gross Motor Activities During Inclement Weather I suggested for the teachers to provide alternative gross motor activities during inclement weather. For example, dancing, exercising, or participating in a marching band. Infant/Toddler Classroom Observation I discussed the results of my observation in Space #2 with L. Kelly. Both teachers were engaged with the children and their activities. I encouraged L. Kelly to have staff continue to use visual supervision of all children by talking to each other and moving about the classroom. Continue to show awareness, reacting quickly, and solving problems in a comforting way. Continue to facilitate positive peer interaction, modeling positive social interaction, and explaining children’s actions, intentions, and feelings to other children. Positive interactions, through which children share joy with their caregivers, keep children engaged and encourage them to seek out and try new things. These actions lead to deeper engagement with their environment and more meaningful interactions with those around them. They also promote increased creativity and exploration, which are the building blocks for higher-order thinking. Preschool Classroom Observation I discussed the results of my observation in Space #4 with L. Kelly. I did not observe any interactions between the teachers and the children, other than directive interactions. Creating a language-rich environment by encouraging children to talk and teaching them how to use language to communicate is essential for language development. Children’s language expands when they are given opportunities to use language and when teachers model more complex language. By hearing various uses and forms of language, children develop new language skills, which contribute to their academic and social success. I encouraged L. Kelly to have staff use the following strategies for creating a language-rich environment: • Having conversations with children. • Repeating what children say, building on children’s communication attempts by expanding them into more complex expressions. • Describing what you and the children do as it’s happening. • Using descriptive words and complete sentences when talking to children; telling children what objects in the classroom are called; explaining what new words mean.

The previous Annual Compliance Visit was completed July 11, 2024, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score was at 98%, which is at or above 75%, as required by North Carolina General Statute 110-90(4)(c-d). This program currently operates with a three Star License issued February 10, 2022. The License was based on the program earning 4 points in education standards, 2 points in program standards, and one quality point by choosing to meet a programmatic option using an age developmentally appropriate curriculum. The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by Lanette Kelly, Administrator. Current Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of Superior was completed on July 31, 2024. Fire Classification of Approved for Day Time Care Only was completed on March 12, 2024. Allegations are as follows: There is a concern that sanitation guidelines are not being followed. I was greeted today by L. Kelly, Administrator. Upon my arrival, there were fifty-one (51) children and seven (7) teachers present. Children were observed participating in free-choice activities. The children had access to developmentally appropriate blocks, literacy, fine motor, and dramatic-play materials. The facility’s floors, classrooms, and bathrooms appeared to be clean. Routine care and handwashing practices were observed. Lunch consisted of hamburger sliders, green beans, applesauce, and milk. Three recently hired staff members’ files were reviewed. One staff member did not have a medical report on file. One staff member did not have a TB test or screening on file. One staff member did not have an application on file. The allegations were discussed with the administrator. I interviewed the administrator. During the interview with the administrator, she stated that toys are cleaned and sanitized daily after children leave for the day. Mouthed toys are collected throughout the day in a yucky bucket, then cleaned and sanitized at the end of each day. Surfaces, such as tables, counters, and shelves are cleaned and sanitized throughout the day, as needed. Opening staff and closing staff have a cleaning list to follow daily, which include cleaning duties such as sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming floors. Teachers clean and disinfect toilets and sinks after each time the group uses the bathroom. Teachers clean and sanitize sinks after each time the group washes their hands. Diaper changing surfaces are cleaned and disinfected after each diaper change. On November 15, 2024, a local environmental health specialist conducted an investigation at the facility and found no evidence that sanitation rules were not being followed. Based on the information gathered and observations made, there is not enough sufficient information to confirm the allegation of violations of child care requirements pertaining to sanitation guidelines not being followed. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with L. Kelly. The following violations were observed: Violation Number Comment Rule 1030 Application for employment and date of birth was not on file for all staff. One staff member (T.C.) did not have an application for employment on file. .0302(d)(1)(A) 1032 Child care providers and uncompensated providers who are not substitute providers or volunteers, including the director did not have a medical report on file prior to employment that was signed by a health care professional and/ or the medical report was older than 12 months.

The previous Annual Compliance Visit was completed August 3, 2022, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score was 96%, as required by North Carolina General Statute 110-90(4)(c-d). This program currently operates with a three Star License issued February 10, 2022. The License was based on the program earning 4 points in education standards, 2 points in program standards, and one quality point by choosing to meet a programmatic option using an age developmentally appropriate curriculum. The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by April Hecker. Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of Superior completed February 20,2023. Fire Classification of Approved for daytime completed April 17,2023. There is a concern that a portable wading pool was used when prohibited. April Hecker, Administrator, was present and assisted with today’s visit. Preschool children in Spaces #1, and #2 were observed eating Breakfast. Breakfast served was cheese toast, mixed fruit, and milk. Staff walked around the spaces, encouraged conversation, and interacted with the children during Breakfast. In Space #1, one staff member were assisting two toddlers having breakfast in high chairs. One caregiver and two infants were participating in tummy time. In space #2, after Breakfast, children completed bathroom and personal care routines and prepared for center time. In Space #3, and #4, I observed toileting and handwashing routines with preschool age children, while other children played with free choice materials. Children in space# 5, were observed using paint to create watermelons at the table with one staff member. Children throughout the facility were engaged in classroom activities and were responsive to the teachers. Regarding the allegation, there is a concern that a portable wading pool was used when prohibited. Staff interviewed were not aware that wading pools are prohibited. During today’s visit there were no wading pools on-site, and staff present were made aware that wading pools are not allowed. However, on June 30, 2023 two portable wading pools were accessible and used by preschool age children in care. Pictures of preschool age children using the two portable wading pools were submitted to DCDEE on July 14, 2023. Based on the information gathered the allegation of violations of child care requirements that a portable wading pool was used is substantiated.
