Webster stated that the current activity plan was not in the interoffice mail and a copy was not available for review on-site. After snack, the school-aged children cleaned up and participated in personal care routines prior to transitioning outdoors. In the outdoor learning environment, children drew on the sidewalks with sidewalk chalk; threw, kicked, and bounced balls; jumped rope; played on the stationary equipment; and participated in a bowling activity. Upon their return indoors, the children washed their hands and transitioned to free play activities. The following activity areas were set up in the primary care space and accessible to the children: Game Galaxy, Builder’s Zone, Imagination station, Character Gove, and Homework. Staff and children’s files were monitored today. The Public-School Off-Site Records Verification forms for Staff and Children’s Records dated July 11, 2024, were monitored for applicable child care requirements. Based on the enrollment list dated October 28, 2024 to November 1, 2024, thirty-eight children are enrolled, and thirty-one children were present. In addition, required center program records were also monitored. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with T. Webster. The following violation was observed: Violation Number Comment Rule 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference. The activity plan posted in the primary care space was dated October 21, 2024 to October 25, 2024. This is a repeated violation from August 14, 2024. GS 110-91(12); .0508(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. The violations observed and documented today may impact the compliance history score. The violations observed and documented today must be corrected immediately. Additionally, by 5:00 p.m. on November 13, 2024, you must submit a written, dated, and signed statement to me. The statement must describe accurately and in detail, how and when the violation was 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: Rhonda Blackmon Lead Child Care Consultant P.O. Box 279 Linden, NC 28356 Rhonda.blackmon@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.

If you have an acceptable compliance history at the end of your temporary license you will be eligible to apply for a star rated license. Failure to maintain an acceptable compliance history may result in the issuance of administrative action up to and including denial of a full license at the end of the temporary time period. Technical Assistance Specific to Today’s Visit: Activity Plan: During today’s visit, the posted activity plan was dated October 21, 2024 – October 25, 2024. A current activity plan was not available on-site. This is a repeated violation from the visit completed on August 14, 2024. You may want to revisit the procedure in place for interoffice mail to ensure required information is available and posted on-site for review by parents and staff during operating hours. Additionally, activity plans can be completed at least 1-12 months in advance and maintained on-site for implementation. As schedules and/or themes change, the activity plans can be revised to reflect such changes. CBC Provider Portal: 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 on 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) 814-8401 and someone will assist you. Rated License Assessment: Discussions occurred regarding the two-component star rated license with Annee Villareal, Prime Time Training & License Administrator, on October 22, 2024. The enhanced standards are based on two components: education and program standards. The requirements to complete for each point level in both education and the program standards were reviewed. Education must be current in WORKS by the fifth month (December) of the temporary time period to be eligible for points assigned for education standards. On-going Training: The staff and training worksheets were completed and available for review upon my arrival today. 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 hours worked, education, and experience. If you have questions, please contact me at (910) 709-4168. If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000).
