An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 TA: During the observation the child was engaged in writing and drawing activities while the operator sat with her and talked about the activities. . She talked about the child siblings and described the children while she drew her pictures. The child was smiling, laughing and having conversations with the child. The operator gave her different words to say to help her in describing what she wanted to draw and write. I encouraged the operator to keep having good interaction with the children, talking, playing, and singing with them. This will help with the children’s vocabulary, social and emotional skills. During today’s visit the following information was reviewed and forms left for the Pathways to the Stars. (New QRIS), for pathway #2, Education Standards, CQI Plan, Family and Community Engagement Standards. Ms. Small stated that she has already begun to work on the requirements for pathway #2 and that she is working with Kathy Hoffler, Family Child Care Consultant, with the Partnership for Children, who has already begun to work with her. We tried to review her education in Works Unit and were unable to complete. I will review and email her by end of week. The plan is for Ms. Small to have completed all requirements submitted in March for April of 2026 and to submit all documents for a five-star license. 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 Activity Schedules and Plans.
