The previous Annual Compliance Visit was completed November 12, 2025, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score prior to today’s visit was 92%. This program currently operates with a three (3) Star License issued March 21, 2023. The License was based on the program earning four (4) points in education standards, two (2) points in program standards, and one quality point by choosing to meet an educational option: Uses an age/developmentally appropriate curriculum. The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by Camille Brown Johnson. The owner’s corporation status was verified on the Secretary of State’s website as current- active. Current Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of superior completed June 17, 2025. Fire Classification of approved for daytime and overnight care completed August 18, 2025. There are allegations of violations of child requirements including but not limited to: • Supervision • Nurture Care of Children • Discipline Bella Simmons, Lead Teacher, greeted me upon arrival. I observed the indoor and outdoor areas unaccompanied by a staff member. Camille Brown Johnson, Administrator, arrived and assisted with the visit. Preschool-aged children in all classrooms were engaged in free choice activities in interest centers. Children played with puzzles, magnetic color tiles, unit blocks, and played dress up in dramatic play. I observed teachers assist children with toileting and hand washing routines. Staff members cleaned and sanitized tables in preparation for mealtime. Lunch, prepared and served by the cook, consisted of corn dog, baked beans, pineapple tidbits, sliced wheat bread, and milk. Following lunch, soft instrumental music played as children rested on individual cots with clean linen. The allegations were discussed with C. Johnson and Angel Johnson, co-owner/program manager who arrived during the visit. The administrator and owner were aware of incidents that occurred with a family of two school-aged children. I interviewed all staff including the group leader, by phone, who was scheduled to work at 2:00pm. Based on staff interviews, a child had a toileting incident and was given an oversized shirt to wear because an extra set of clothing were not available for the child. Staff members stated the incident occurred at the end day minutes before the facility closed. The teacher assigned to the school-aged classroom stated the child’s family was not contact due to parents were arriving for pick-up and the child had been given clothes to wear. In a separate incident during outdoor play, a group of children including a school-aged child was asked by a teacher to return indoors with the administrator because of shift change. Based on staff interviews, the school-aged child became disruptive by stomping and yelling at the administrator because they did not want to listen to the instructions. Staff stated that when the child’s parent arrived, the parent and the child were yelling at each other in a separate unoccupied space. The administrator and staff stated she attempted to de-escalate the situation when the parent would not listen or communicate with her and eventually left the facility with her school-aged children. During today’s visit, a copy of the facility’s operational policies, and program records such as arrival/departure procedures and parent handbook were reviewed. Based on information gathered, the allegation that children were not adequately supervised is unsubstantiated. Based on information gathered, the allegation that children were not cared for in a nurturing and appropriate manner is unsubstantiated. Based on information gathered, the allegation that children were disciplined inappropriately is unsubstantiated. The visit summary was reviewed with C. Johnson. The following violations were observed: Violation Number Comment Rule 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference. Current activity plans were not available for reference in space #1 and #2a/b. The violation was corrected when the administrator made copies of current activity plans and placed them in each space. GS 110-91(12); .0508(a) 1301 Center did not maintain a record of daily attendance. Daily attendance records less than one year were not maintained on file and available for review. GS 110-91(9) 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. Facility Specific TA/Consultation/Reminders: Attendance Records: A violation was cited for attendance records not being maintained on file and available for review. Administrators stated the forms were being stored offsite and would be returned on the next day. It is imperative that daily records of attendance of children enrolled at the center must be maintained onsite for at least one year as children arrive and depart and/or made available for review. More information can be found in NC Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(4). Activity Plan: A violation was cited for current activity plans not posted and available for reference. Activity plans must be current and posted each day/week. As part of your early morning classroom checks, take time to observe the posted activity plan in each space to ensure it’s current. It is recommended you devise a plan and/or policy to ensure staff post the current activity plan by the first date the activity plan is effective. More information can be found in NC Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0508(a). QRIS Modernization: The administrator stated the facility is on track with submitting their application for rated license assessment for pathway #2, Classroom and Instructional Quality. They are currently working on assisting two staff members with updating their education into DCDEE WORKS. I provided them information from https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov on how to access the application, QRIS requirements, and submitting official transcripts to DCDEE WORKS. NCDHHS Responds to Increase in Measles Cases: Measles is on the rise globally and in North Carolina. As a highly contagious, airborne disease, even one case is a major priority for public health. NCDHHS is taking action by launching new outreach resources for child care providers, families, and community stakeholders to help curb the spread.

The previous Annual Compliance Visit was completed November 25, 2024, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score prior to today’s visit was 93%. This program currently operates with a three (3) Star License issued March 21, 2023. The License was based on the program earning four (4) points in education standards, two (2) points in program standards, and one quality point by choosing to meet an educational option: Uses an age/developmentally appropriate curriculum. The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by Camille Brown Johnson. The owner’s corporation status was verified on the Secretary of State’s website as current- active. Current Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of superior completed March 8, 2024. Fire Classification of approved for daytime and overnight care completed August 21, 2024. There is a concern that safe pick up procedures were not followed. There is a concern that sign in/out records were not provided. There is a concern that administration did not follow court orders. Camille Brown Johnson, Administrator, was present and accompanied me while observing the indoor and outdoor areas. Preschool-aged children in spaces #1 and #2a/b were engaged in free choice activities in interest centers. I observed children playing with stacking blocks, toy phones, and dramatic play materials such as pretend foods and cooking utensils with teachers assisting as needed. I observed teachers assist children with putting on their coats and hats as they transitioned to the outdoor area. Outdoors, children climbed on stationary equipment, rode tricycles and wheeled toys, and rode rockers. Upon return indoors staff assisted children during toileting and hand washing routines and prepared for mealtime. Lunch, prepared and served by the cook, consisted of cheese pizza, green beans, peaches, and milk. Following lunch, soft classical music played as children rested on individual cots with clean linen. The allegations were discussed with C. Johnson and by phone with Angel Johnson, co-owner. The administrator and owner were aware of the incident that occurred on January 9, 2025. I was contacted by C. Johnson at 8:31am by phone on the same day to inform me the heat was not working in the building. C. Johnson stated the temperature in the building was 51 degrees. Based on Child Care Sanitation Rules, I reminded the administrator that because the temperature was below 65 degree, children could not remain in care until the temperature could be maintained. C. Johnson stated she contacted parents to pick up their children and staff would be sent home. C. Johnson stated she was unable to make contact by phone with the parents of one child. The grandmother of the child, A. Johnson, who is the child’s emergency contact, was contacted and gave verbal permission to C. Johnson to take the child home with her since the child is a relative. I observed a text message from A. Johnson to C. Johnson to confirm the permission granted. C. Johnson stated that she did not sign the child out on the Daily Sign In/Out document. C. Johnson stated a heat/air company repaired the heating and the facility reopened at approximately 2:30pm for school-aged children. During interviews conducted, it was determined that the child’s father arrived at the facility to pick up his child and learned that permission had been granted to C. Johnson from A. Johnson to take the child from the facility due to the lack of heat. The father contacted local law enforcement. When observing the child’s file, the father’s name is on the application however, contact information was not included. Based on interviews, the law enforcement officer encouraged the father to update his contact information to ensure the facility could contact him in case of an emergency. An updated copy of the child’s application was provided to me during the visit with the child’s father contact information which was updated during the afternoon of January 9, 2025. C. Johnson stated she requested a copy of the family’s court order from the mother of the child and it was never provided. During today’s visit, a copy of the court order was not on file for the child. Regarding the concern that safe pick-up procedures were not followed, I reviewed attendance records, arrival and departure procedures, parent handbook, center policies for releasing children, child’s file, and interviews of administrators, staff members, and parents. Based on information gathered, the allegation that safe pick up procedures were not followed is unsubstantiated. Based on information gathered, the allegation that sign in/out records were not provided is substantiated.

Name of Operation: ROSE ANGEL EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY Facility ID: 26002559 Consultant: YOLANDA PRIDGEN Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0125-137L Visit Date: 1/17/2025 Number Present: 10 Completed Date: 1/17/2025 Age: From 2 To 4 Total Minutes: 270 Time In: 09:45 AM Time Out: 02:15 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today's visit was to investigate an allegation regarding violations of child care requirements. The previous Annual Compliance Visit was completed November 25, 2024, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score prior to today’s visit was 93%. This program currently operates with a three (3) Star License issued March 21, 2023. The License was based on the program earning four (4) points in education standards, two (2) points in program standards, and one quality point by choosing to meet an educational option: Uses an age/developmentally appropriate curriculum. The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by Camille Brown Johnson. The owner’s corporation status was verified on the Secretary of State’s website as current- active. Current Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of superior completed March 8, 2024. Fire Classification of approved for daytime and overnight care completed August 21, 2024. There is a concern that safe pick up procedures were not followed. There is a concern that sign in/out records were not provided. There is a concern that administration did not follow court orders. Camille Brown Johnson, Administrator, was present and accompanied me while observing the indoor and outdoor areas. Preschool-aged children in spaces #1 and #2a/b were engaged in free choice activities in interest centers. I observed children playing with stacking blocks, toy phones, and dramatic play materials such as pretend foods and cooking utensils with teachers assisting as needed. I observed teachers assist children with putting on their coats and hats as they transitioned to the outdoor area. Outdoors, children climbed on stationary equipment, rode tricycles and wheeled toys, and rode rockers. Upon return indoors staff assisted children during toileting and hand washing routines and prepared for mealtime. Lunch, prepared and served by the cook, consisted of cheese pizza, green beans, peaches, and milk. Following lunch, soft classical music played as children rested on individual cots with clean linen. The allegations were discussed with C. Johnson and by phone with Angel Johnson, co-owner. The administrator and owner were aware of the incident that occurred on January 9, 2025. I was contacted by C. Johnson at 8:31am by phone on the same day to inform me the heat was not working in the building. C. Johnson stated the temperature in the building was 51 degrees. Based on Child Care Sanitation Rules, I reminded the administrator that because the temperature was below 65 degree, children could not remain in care until the temperature could be maintained. C. Johnson stated she contacted parents to pick up their children and staff would be sent home. C. Johnson stated she was unable to make contact by phone with the parents of one child. The grandmother of the child, A. Johnson, who is the child’s emergency contact, was contacted and gave verbal permission to C. Johnson to take the child home with her since the child is a relative. I observed a text message from A. Johnson to C. Johnson to confirm the permission granted. C. Johnson stated that she did not sign the child out on the Daily Sign In/Out document. C. Johnson stated a heat/air company repaired the heating and the facility reopened at approximately 2:30pm for school-aged children. During interviews conducted, it was determined that the child’s father arrived at the facility to pick up his child and learned that permission had been granted to C. Johnson from A. Johnson to take the child from the facility due to the lack of heat. The father contacted local law enforcement. When observing the child’s file, the father’s name is on the application however, contact information was not included. Based on interviews, the law enforcement officer encouraged the father to update his contact information to ensure the facility could contact him in case of an emergency. An updated copy of the child’s application was provided to me during the visit with the child’s father contact information which was updated during the afternoon of January 9, 2025. C. Johnson stated she requested a copy of the family’s court order from the mother of the child and it was never provided. During today’s visit, a copy of the court order was not on file for the child. Regarding the concern that safe pick-up procedures were not followed, I reviewed attendance records, arrival and departure procedures, parent handbook, center policies for releasing children, child’s file, and interviews of administrators, staff members, and parents. Based on information gathered, the allegation that safe pick up procedures were not followed is unsubstantiated.

The allegations are as follows: There is a concern that safe pick up procedures were not followed. Jennifer Strickland, Child Care Consultant, accompanied me during today’s visit. We were greeted by Camille Brown Johnson, Administrator, was present and accompanied us while observing the indoor and outdoor areas. Upon our arrival, there were sixteen preschool-aged children in care. Staff/child ratio, group size, supervision, use of licensed space, space capacity, license restrictions, and the outdoor environment were monitored. Additionally, we observed children playing with various developmentally age-appropriate materials like, manipulating Play-Doh, and participating in teacher-guided art activities. Today’s menu consisted of spaghetti with meat sauce, sliced cheese, green beans, sliced peaches, and milk. The allegation that safe pick up procedures were not followed was discussed with C. Johnson and by phone with Angel Johnson, owner. The administrator and owner were aware of the incident that occurred on December 19, 2023. We interviewed 4 staff members in addition to C. Johnson and A. Johnson. Based on the allegations, an individual arrived at the facility at approximately 2:05pm and requested to visit a child enrolled in space #2a/b. The staff member greeted the individual who was asked their identification and stated they were the child’s father. It was stated that the staff member did not know the father however recognized his name and escorted him to the child’s classroom. A staff member contacted the child's mother, owner, and the administrator to inform them of the situation. Based on interviews, the child’s father stated he would be taking the child for the day. One teacher assisted the father with gathering the child’s belongings and the father signed the child out of the facility. During interviews conducted, it was determined that the father exited the facility and proceeded to put the child in the vehicle. At that time, a staff member was indoors checking the child’s file for verification of the father’s information. It was determined that the father’s name was on the application and the immunization record however no contact information was available for the father. A staff member followed the father to his vehicle and asked for additional identification. Staff members stated the father provided them with court documents confirming his custody agreement for the child. Regarding the concern that safe pick-up procedures were not followed, we reviewed attendance records, arrival and departure procedures, parent handbook, center policies for releasing children, child’s file, and interviews of administrators, staff members, and parents. Based on information gathered, the allegation that safe pick up procedures were not followed is substantiated. Angel Johnson, owner, arrived at the end of the visit.
