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: Sandra Johnson Child Care Consultant P.O. Box 64401 Fayetteville, NC 28306 sandra.johnson@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 Child Care ID # 12345678 Facility Specific TA The violation for safe indoor and outdoor environment was cited today. Proving a safe environment is important for children’s growth and development. I shared that additional information regarding Safe Environments for Child Care Centers can be found in Child Care Rules section .600. We also discussed the following strategies for achieving and maintaining compliance: review the rule section with staff at your next staff meeting and have staff report hazardous issues to administration staff immediately. I conducted an observation from 9:15a.m. to 9:35a.m.: in space #1, the teachers were engaged in play, singing songs, and talking with the children. They sat on a large carpet area with the children while they played on small climbing structures, played with small animals, name colors of what they were wearing. They also sang songs like “Old McDonald had a Farm”. The teacher was encouraging the children to talk and to repeat words after them. The children played together very well. The interaction with the teacher and children was great. The children were smiling and laughing with the teacher as they played and talked about what they were doing. I encourage the teachers to keep having conversation with the children as it would enhance their vocabulary. I conducted an observation from 9::40a.m. to 10a.m.: in space #5, the children were engaged in free choice activities. The teachers walked about the space and talked with the children about what they were doing. They shared complements to the children as they observed the children’s artwork and as they played with one another. The teachers were encouraging to the children when in play, trying to get them to build things with blocks and making things with sand toys while playing in the sand table. The interaction with the teacher and children was great. The children were smiling and laughing with the teacher as they played and talked about what they were doing. I encourage the teacher to keep having conversation with the children as it would enhance their vocabulary. Reminders: Do you have children who bite? Do children struggle to focus during circle time?
