The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by Henrietta Corbett, NC Pre-K Lead Teacher. Current Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of Superior completed January 30, 2024. Fire Classification of Satisfactory completed March 18, 2024. Two groups of children enrolled in the NC Pre-K program were observed participating in indoor free-choice play opportunities. Ms. Corbett was present while I observed space B-9. Children participated in the whole group in music and movement. The teacher also read the story about Jahari. She asked the children closed and open-ended questions as she read the book. She reviewed the classroom rules before the children transitioned to free play. There were plenty of materials at each center. Children in Space #B11 were observed eating breakfast, which consisted of cinnamon toast cereal, milk, and 100 % fruit juice. Staff engaged in frequent, positive, and interactive language with individual children and groups of children by asking questions, responding to questions, and discussing their activities. Handwashing and toileting routines were observed during today's visit. Sean Brost, the Program Administrator, came in at 11:00 to check on the new staff. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with Ms. Corbett. The following violations were observed.

Refer to NC child care rule reference .2820(b). This was corrected during the visit. Observation Suggestion: Capture the degree to which the teacher’s interactions with children and classroom activities place an emphasis on children’s interest, motivations & points of view and encourage their responsibility & independence. Offer a range of opportunities for children to express their ideas in the context of both planned and unplanned activities. Provide a balance of adult and child-directed activities where children can make guided decisions based on teacher’s clearly identified expectations (example, where to sit at circle time). Tell children why and what they are going to do before they begin to engage in activities and summarize what they did after they are finished. For example, when reading a story, ask children open-ended questions about the illustrations on the book. What do you think is going to happen? And follow the children responses to create conversations. Resource: Natural Outdoor Learning Initiative: The DCDEE has a new initiative – Natural Outdoor Learning Initiative.
