The previous Annual Compliance Visit was completed February 12, 2025, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score was 95%, Which is above the 75% required by North Carolina General Statute 110- 90(4)(c-d). This program currently operates with a five Star License issued October 10, 2024. The License was based on the program having the Cognia accreditation. The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by Chelsea Heard, Lead Teacher. Current Inspections are as follows: The Sanitation Classification of Superior completed on May 05, 2025. Fire Classification of Approved for daytime only completed September 12, 2025. C. Heard was present while I observed the indoor and outdoor areas. Fifteen (15) children and two (2) teachers were present. The children had access to blocks, fine motor, dramatic play, creative art, science, sand play, and literacy materials. The children were observed participating in free-choice activities, before transitioning to a literacy activity in a carpeted area. During the literacy activity, the children identified letters and reviewed letter sounds. The teachers were observed moving around the space to engage in activities with the children. Due to cold weather conditions, the children were not observed participating in outdoor play. However, the outdoor learning environment was monitored for playground safety requirements. Instead of outdoor play, the children participated in a dancing activity indoors. Routine care and handwashing activities were observed. Lunch consisted of corndog nuggets, mashed potatoes, apple slices, and milk. Two staff files were reviewed. Two staff members did not complete an on-going training documentation worksheet. One staff member did not have documentation on file of completing the required Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within the past five years. Two children’s records were reviewed, and all documentation was observed in compliance with applicable child care rules. Program records were reviewed. An emergency drill log, documenting the fire drills and quarterly drills completed within the past year, was not available for review. The most recent playground inspection was completed on February 05, 2026. NC Pre-K requirements were reviewed. The Creative Curriculum was implemented in the activity plan and the classroom activities. The Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3) were used for developmental screenings and were placed in each child’s file. Hearing and Vision screenings were documented on each child’s health assessment form. Dental Screenings were placed in each child’s file. Teaching Strategies GOLD was used as a formative assessment tool to periodically assess children. The fall checkpoint assessment was completed in October 2025, and the winter checkpoint assessment was completed in January 2026. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with C. Heard. The following violations were observed: Violation Number Comment Rule 805 Fire drills were not practiced monthly and/or the drill record was incomplete. An emergency drill log for the current 2025-2026 school year was not completed or available for review. .0604(t); .0302(d)(5) 1054 Documentation of staff's on-going training was not on file and/or was not current. Two staff members did not have documentation on file of trainings taken within the past year. 10A NCAC 09 .1106(a) 1811 Shelter-in-place or lockdown drills were not practiced every three months and/or drill record was incomplete. An emergency drill log for the current 2025-2026 school year was not completed or available for review. .0604(u);.0302(d)(8) 1899 Health and safety training topics were not included as part of on-going training within five years of completing the previous health and safety training topics. One staff member did not have documentation on file of completing the required Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within the past five years. .1103(b) 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 violations observed and documented today must be corrected immediately. Additionally, by 5:00pm on February 20, 2026, you must submit a written, dated, and signed statement to me. 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: Tiffany Reed Child Care Consultant P.O. Box 407 Hope Mills, NC 28348 tiffany.L.reed@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 Childcare ID# 12345678 TA/Consultation: Training Documentation Requirements A violation was cited today for staff members not documenting the training taken within the past year. The training record should be used to assess each employee’s need for additional training and to provide regulators with a tool to monitor compliance. Training documentation should include the date of the training, the number of hours, the name(s) and agency of the trainer(s), and the title of the training. Training documentation should be recorded in each staff person’s file or in a separate training file. For more information regarding this requirement, refer to child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .1106(a). Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment Training A violation was cited today for a staff member not having documentation on file of taking the required Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within the past five years. Education is important in identifying manifestations of child maltreatment that can increase the likelihood of appropriate reports to child protection and law enforcement agencies. Teachers should be aware of the risk factors of child maltreatment, and be trained in compliance with North Carolina’s child abuse and neglect reporting laws. The training can be accessed at www.preventchildabusenc.org. More information regarding this requirement can be found in child care rules 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1103(b). Emergency Drill Requirements Two violations were cited today for not documenting monthly fire drills and quarterly emergency drills. Regular emergency and evacuation drills are important safety practices in areas where these natural or human generated disasters might occur. The routine practice of such drills fosters a calm, competent response to a natural or human generated disaster when it occurs. The extensive turnover of both staff and children, in addition to the changing developmental abilities of the children to participant in evacuation procedures in child care, necessitates frequent practice of the drills. More information about emergency drill requirements can be found in child care rules 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(5) and 10A NCAC 09 .0604(t-u). QRIS Modernization: Pathway Discussion The new QRIS and pathway options will be discussed in detail with Sean Brost, NCPK Program Coordinator with Cumberland County Schools. Rhonda Blackmon, Lead Child Care Consultant, will coordinate and conduct the meeting and will complete the QRIS Conversation document at that time.

The teachers were observed moving about the space assisting the children with free choice art. One child was creating a sponge art college of different sizes heat spaced sponges. After free choice the children transitioned to handwashing and bathroom routines. The lunch served today was chicken sandwich, green beans, peaches, and milk. While monitoring the refrigerator in the child care space for the temperature, I noticed that children lunch bags are kept in the refrigerator although they aren’t required. The refrigerator has some rust inside. Please monitor and consider replacing it at some point. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with Ms. Heard. The following violations were observed. Violation Number Comment Rule 106 Operator has not scheduled and obtained a fire inspection within 12 months of the previous inspection. Operator did not submit the original approved report to DCDEE within one week of the inspection visit on a form provided by the Division. The fire inspection was not completed in a 12 month period.

Space #13 serves children participating in the NC Pre-K program. The previous Annual Compliance Visit was completed March 06, 2023, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score was 88%, which is above the 75% required by North Carolina General Statute 110-90(4)(c-d). This program currently operates with a Five (5) Star License issued October 23, 2020. The License was based on the program earning seven (7) points in education standards, seven (7) points in program standards, and one (1) quality point by choosing to meet the programmatic option: facility has reduced group size by at least one child per age group from the seven-point level as required in Rule 2818(c). Information on record with the DCDEE was verified as correct by Ketia Moore, Lead Teacher. No Administrator was listed on the Staff and Training Worksheet and there was no file for an administrator. Using information in the DCDEE Regulatory System, I recorded the name of the Administrator on the Staff and Training Worksheet, however, when reviewing the final Visit Summary Report with both Ms. Moore and Tamara Carroll, Teacher, Ms. Carroll stated the Administrator information in the DCDEE Regulatory System was incorrect; the Administrator’s name I had recorded was no longer employed at this school. Both staff stated Todd Yardis was the current principal at the school and therefore the Administrator of the NC Pre-K licensed program. Current Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of Superior completed December 12, 2023. Fire Classification of Approved for daytime only completed September 13, 2023. Both staff were present while I observed the indoor and outdoor areas. The children were eating breakfast when I arrived and the breakfast included muffins, orange juice, and milk. When finished, the children participated in bathroom and handwashing routines. The children then participated in group time where they reviewed sight words and read a story, followed by outdoor gross motor play where they ran, climbed, slid, and pretended to walk on a balance beam. Upon returning indoors, they completed handwashing followed by free choice play in activity areas that contained at least three related activities and sufficient quantity of each for three children to use. Lunch was also served during the visit and included fish sticks, corn, peach fruit cup, and milk. The following violations were observed: Violation Number Comment Rule 620 All walls and ceilings including doors and windows were not kept clean and in good repair.
