The last annual compliance visit was July 19, 2023, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score was at 95%. This program currently operates with a Five -Star License issued April 26, 2022. The License was based on the program earning six points in education standards, seven points in program standards, and one quality point by choosing to meet a programmatic option for: Infant capacity restricted to no more than two children under one year of age. The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by Ms. Tabra Wesley, Owner/Operator. Current Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of Superior completed July 21, 2023. Ms. Wesley was present and accompanied me while observing the indoor areas. Upon arrival, the children were cleaning up their toys. After cleaning their toys, the children transitioned at the table for group time. The children took turns picking a song to sing. After singing songs, the children transitioned to free play. Some of the children colored and some of the children played with toys. Toileting and handwashing routines were observed. A violation was cited today because there was a bottle of sanitizer and a bottle of disinfectant stored on top of the washing machine in the bathroom. This was less than five feet from the floor. Lunch served was chicken nuggets, corn, pears, bread, and milk. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with Ms. Wesley. The following violation was observed: Violation Number Comment Rule 706 Corrosive agents, pesticides, bleaches, detergents, cleansers, polishes, and products under pressure in an aerosol dispenser and any substance that may be hazardous to a child if ingested, inhaled, or handled were not kept in locked storage when children were in care. In the bathroom used by children, there was one bottle of sanitizer and one bottle of disinfectant stored on the washing machine, which is less than 5 feet from the floor. .1719 (a)(7) 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. Violations observed and documented today may impact the compliance history score. The violation observed and documented today was corrected during today’s visit.

Store items that are labeled “keep out of reach of children” and have no other warning can be stored on a shelf or in an unlocked cabinet. The shelf or cabinet must be mounted at least five feet above the floor. In the bathroom used by children, there one was one bottle of sanitizer and one bottle of disinfectant stored on the washer which is less than 5 feet from the floor. This was corrected during the visit. The provider made smaller bottles and stored in the cabinet, greater than 5 feet from the floor.

For more information regarding this rule requirement review Child Care Rules 10A NCAC 09 .1719 Observations: An observation was conducted today with the infant child enrolled. During today’s visit, I observed the infant being held. It is important to provide some tummy time and floor time for the infant. It may be best to add a carpeted area for the infant to play on. We talked about a caregiver being near the infant. The infant can be provided soft toys and toys to help the child with their fine motor skills. We talked about the other children’s interactions and the infant. I let you know that over time, the children will learn boundaries and assist in helping to keep a safe environment for the children. During today’s visit, I suggested some things for the infant. I also reminded you about infant requirements (sleep checks). Today you showed me your record for recording sleep, bottle feedings, attempted sleep, etc. You also stated that you would print the form from the DCDEE website for the sleep checks. The preschool aged children roamed throughout the classroom space and played with different toys. I observed free play of classroom materials. The caregiver provided paper and crayons for the children to color. The caregiver talked to the children about what they were making. The children played with musical toys, puzzles, baby dolls, and cars. I recommend adding puppets and items for imaginary play. The children can pretend and act out characters from books that were read. Transitions: Today, I provided some resources that can assist when transitioning. It is helpful to let children know in advance before making transitions. Provide reminders, five minutes before changing an activity. Allow opportunities for “job roles” for some of the children that may struggle with transitions. In addition, sometimes, providing a visual schedule helps create a smooth transition.
