A written warning was issued to the facility on 3-6-25. You received the administrative action on 3-11-25 and submitted an appeal within the required timeframe. I monitored the indoor environments for compliance with child care requirements. Staff/child ratios, supervision, use of space and capacity were monitored for compliance. The permit, sanitation placard, evacuation plan, safe arrival and departure procedures, first aid chart, menus, daily schedules, staff/child ratios, emergency medical care plan, emergency telephone numbers and a summary of NC Child Care Law were posted. A fire drill was documented as completed on 8-29-25 at 2:35 pm with an evacuation time of one minute and seven seconds. A lockdown drill was documented as conducted on 7-31-25 at 2:50 pm. An outdoor inspection was documented as conducted on 8-15-25. An approved fire inspection was completed on 10-24-24. A sanitation inspection was last completed on 3-26-25 with two demerits and a superior classification. The children were observed during free play and circle time activities. Lunch on the day of the visit consisted of bologna and cheese sandwiches, french fries, apple slices or applesauce and milk. During the 3-26-25 visit, the stipulations of the Corrective Action Plan were reviewed as follows: Stipulation 1 - This stipulation requires that you maintain compliance in all areas at all times, with a focus on enhanced staff/child ratio and supervision requirements. One violation pertaining to posting of the administrative action was documented during the visit. Stipulation 2 - This stipulation requires that you create a staffing plan and written procedures to ensure compliance with enhanced staff/child ratio requirements. Due to the appeal of the administrative action, you are not required to meet this stipulation at this time. Stipulation 3 - This stipulation requires that you create written policies and procedures to ensure compliance with supervision requirements. Due to the appeal of the administrative action, you are not required to meet this stipulation at this time. Stipulation 4 - This stipulation requires that hold a staff meeting to review the policies and procedures to meet stipulations 2 and 3. Due to the appeal of the administrative action, you are not required to meet this stipulation at this time. Violation Number Comment Rule 1948 Following the issuance of any administrative action the operator did not post the administrative action, cover letter, and/or corrective action plan, if applicable, in a location visible to parents and visitors near the entrance of the child care facility during the pendency of an appeal and/or throughout the effective time period of the administrative action. (Applicable to administrative actions after 2/1/19). The administrative action issued by DCDEE on 3-6-25 was not posted at the time of the visit. 10A NCAC 09 .2201(i)(1-4) While in the NC Pre-K classroom, I observed a staff member in the bathroom with one of the children with the door shut. This left sixteen four year old children in the classroom with one staff member. As we discussed, if the bathroom was outside of the classroom and the staff member exited the classroom to go to the bathroom with this child, a violation for not maintaining staff/child ratio would be documented. However, a violation was not documented as the bathroom is inside of the classroom. We discussed the challenges presented by staff members going into the bathroom with a child and closing the door, including leaving one staff member with the remaining children. I recommended that you review this with the staff members in this classroom and ask that they leave the door open when assisting children in the restroom. We also discussed the benefit of half doors on bathrooms for preschool children as this provides a feeling of privacy for the children while allowing for adequate supervision at all times. At the time of my arrival, the administrative action issued 3-6-25 was not posted. You stated that you took the action down to begin working on the policies for the Corrective Action Plan and that you had not re-posted the action. Please be reminded that administrative actions must remain posted until you are notified of closure of the action. If an amended action is issued, you must replace the current action with the new action upon receipt. During the visit, you asked that I review the policies you were working on to determine if anything was missing. As I explained, the Corrective Action Plan included in the action issued 3-6-25 may change in an amended action. Therefore, I could only review them based on the original Corrective Action Plan. The policies you provided me with during the visit included everything required in this Corrective Action Plan. Upon receipt of an amended action, you will want to compare the new Corrective Action Plan to determine if there are any revisions. Please contact me if you have questions or if I can be of assistance with this process. The violation documented was corrected during the visit. Therefore, a compliance letter was not required as a follow up to the visit. Please contact me at 919-819-9301 or at leigh.mckenzie-lee@dhhs.nc.gov if I can be of assistance. If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000). All information in this report has been reviewed with me today.I understand that it is my responsibility to maintaincompliance with applicable NC Child Care Requirements at all times

A copy of the action was observed posted in the front area of the facility. The administrator of the facility was not present at the time of today's visit. The assistant administrator assisted us with the visit and you, one of the owners of the facility, arrived during the visit. Teraesa Leak, Licensing Supervisor, accompanied me on today's visit. I monitored the indoor environments for compliance with child care requirements. Staff/child ratios, supervision, use of space and capacity were monitored for compliance. The permit, sanitation placard, evacuation plan, safe arrival and departure procedures, first aid chart, menus, daily schedules, staff/child ratios, emergency medical care plan, emergency telephone numbers and a summary of NC Child Care Law were posted.

Aquaphor diaper cream was not labeled with the child's name. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(4) During the visit, we observed most of the school age children using either a tablet or a phone during naptime. The staff members in the classroom stated that the children bring their own tablet or phone from home to use and stated that on a typical day, the children use them for up to thirty minutes. As we discussed during the visit, screen time must be limited to no more than thirty minutes per day and must be developmentally appropriate. We also discussed that a log must be maintained to verify the time the children are permitted to use the devices each day. No violations pertaining to screen time were documented during the visit; however, these requirements will be monitored during your next visit. You may access a screen time log form on DCDEE's website under the provider tab. The violation that was documented was corrected during the visit.

Paula Davis, Child Care Consultant, accompanied me on today's visit. During the visit supervision, staff/child ratio, capacity, use of space and permit restrictions were monitored. Limited monitoring of other child care requirements was completed. The children were observed eating snack, which consisted of cheese and crackers with juice. The items that were documented during the 1-27-25 visit were monitored for compliance: Item # 841 - No medications were observed inappropriately stored. An additional violation was not documented. Item # 1756 - In space 5, ten children, all two years of age, were present with one staff member. A one to nine ratio must be maintained for two year old children based on your agreement to meet enhanced staff/child ratios. An additional violation was documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 303 Children were not adequately supervised at all times. The staff member in space 5 was observed stepping out of the classroom, leaving ten children all two years of age, unsupervised. .1801(a)(1-5) 840 All corrosive agents, pesticides, bleaches, detergents, cleansers, polishes, any product which is under pressure in an aerosol dispenser, and any substance which may be hazardous to a child if ingested, inhaled, or handled were not stored in a locked room or cabinet. Suave Detangler was stored in a yellow bin on the floor in the office, which was not locked. .2820(b) 1756 Enhanced staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. In space 5, ten two year old children were present with one staff member. 10A NCAC 09 .2818 9998 A violation was found for which there is no item number. The door to the kitchen was unlocked and open. This is a violation of a requirement in 15A NCAC 18A .2808(e) which states 'Children shall not be in the kitchen except when participating in a supervised activity.' To ensure children do not have unsupervised access to the kitchen, the door must be closed and locked at all times when the kitchen in unattended. 9999 A violation was found for which there is no item number. A staff member's purse and lunch bag were stored on a table in space 1, not out of reach of children. This is a violation of a requirement in 15A NCAC 18A .2820(f) which states 'Employee purses and other personal effects shall be kept out of reach of children.' An additional violation was documented during the visit for failure to maintain enhanced staff/child ratio requirements at all times. In space 5, one staff member was present with ten two year old children. These children in space 5 were up from nap and sitting at the table having snack. A violation for failure to provide adequate supervision at all times was also documented. Upon arrival for the visit, we observed the staff member in space 5 step out of the classroom, leaving ten two year old children unsupervised. Violations of staff/child ratio and supervision requirements are particularly serious as they directly impact the safety of the children while in your care. Shortly after we arrived for the visit, you stated that you were understaffed. As we discussed, being short staffed does not allow for non-compliance with child care requirements. You must ensure that adequate staff are present at all times to maintain the enhanced staff/child ratios you agreed to meet as a portion of your rated license. If you do not have adequate staffing, you must reduce the number of children in care. In addition, you must also ensure that the staff request coverage if they need to step out of the room and that they understand then cannot step out of a classroom, even briefly, and leave children unsupervised. Research shows that children are at a greater risk of injury when not adequately supervised or when not enough staff members are present. Consecutive visits with these types of violations may lead to the issuance of an administrative action. If it is determined that an action is warranted based on the consecutive visits with staff/child ratio violations, you will be notified by mail. At the time of today's visit, in space 7, eleven children, including one three year old child and ten four year old children were present. While reviewing the enrollment information for the 1-27-25 visit, I noted that in this same space 7, twelve children, including one three year old child, ten four year old children and one five year old child, were present with one staff member. When a three year old child is present, the group must maintain a one to ten staff/child ratio. The only allowance for meeting the ratio for an older age group when one younger child is present falls under 10A NCAC 09 .0713(4), which states: When determined to be developmentally appropriate by the operator and parent, a child age two or older may be placed one age level above his or her chronological age without affecting the staff/child ratio for that group. This provision shall be limited to one child per group. You stated that the three year old child was moved up to this space as he was nearing his 4th birthday and was too rough to be with the smaller three year old children in space 3. You stated that before moving the child, you notified his parents that he would be moved. However, you stated that he was not moved up because he was developmentally advanced and that you did not have any written verification of advancement from the parent that would document the need for the move. You can either place a second staff member in that classroom to meet a one to ten ratio until this child turns four or you can choose to move him to space 3 where fifteen children, one two year old child and fourteen three year old children, are enrolled. The addition of this three year old child to space 3 will not exceed the one to nine staff/child ratio or maximum group size 18 for two year old children. Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all of the applicable laws and rules at all times. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the childcare law and rules. I explained that you have access to the on-line version of the Child Care Rule Book, as well as a hard copy of the rules. I recommended that you visit the Division of Child Development's website (www.ncchildcare.nc.gov) on a regular basis to find out what's new in childcare. You could also find any needed Child Care forms by going on the web site and clicking on the "Provider" tab and then clicking on the "Provider Documents" tab. Please send me a written statement describing how and when the above violations were corrected. The written statement must be received no later than 2-20-25. Please note that if your letter is mailed, a hand written signature is required. As an alternative, compliance letters can now be submitted via email. I recommend emailing your letter to reduce the time needed to ensure my receipt of your information; however, if you do not have access to email, please ensure that your letter is mailed in a timely fashion and that you allow for any possible delays in the mail service. Please contact me if you have questions pertaining to your compliance letter or if you will not be able to meet the two week timeframe for submission of your compliance letter.

I monitored the indoor environment for compliance with child care requirements. Staff/child ratios, supervision, use of space and capacity were monitored for compliance. The permit, sanitation placard, evacuation plan, safe arrival and departure procedures, first aid chart, menus, daily schedule, staff/child ratios, emergency medical care plan, emergency telephone numbers and a summary of NC Child Care Law were all posted at the time of the visit. Files for new staff members were hired since the 7-24-24 visit were reviewed during the visit. The storage of medication and hazardous products was also monitored during the visit. The children were observed in circle time and free play activities and eating lunch, which consisted of fish sticks, boiled potatoes, applesauce, whole grain sliced bread and milk. The last fire drill was documented at conducted on 12-20-24 at 4:00 pm with an evacuation time of one minutes and twelve seconds. A lockdown drill was documented as conducted on 12-6-24 at 9:37 am. The last outdoor inspection was documented as conducted on 1-7-25. An approved fire inspection was completed on 10-24-24. A sanitation inspection was last completed on 8-9-24 with three demerits and a superior classification. A five star license with seven points in education, five points in program standards and one quality point was issued to the facility on 12-15-17. Based on observations made during the visit, you continue to meet the requirements previously met to obtain such a license. Violation Number Comment Rule 841 Medications including prescription and non-prescription items were not stored in a locked cabinet or other locked container. Two containers of deodorant were stored in an unlocked cabinet in the staff bathroom, not in locked storage as required. 15A NCAC 18A .2820(d) 1756 Enhanced staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. Thirteen children, all three years of age, were present with one staff member in the dining area. 10A NCAC 09 .2818 A violation for failure to maintain enhanced staff/child ratios was documented. While the children from space 3 were in the dining area eating lunch, one of the staff members went in to the staff bathroom and then into the space 3, leaving only one staff member with the children. At the time, you were in and out of the kitchen, serving lunch, and could not be counted in the ratio for this group. Based on your agreement to meet enhanced staff/child ratio requirements, a ratio of one to ten must be maintained for three year old children. This violation was marked as corrected as you came out into the dining area until the other staff member returned to the space. Please remind all staff members of the required ratios based on the age group they have in care and the importance of maintaining these ratios at all times. During the visit, we discussed that all products with warnings in addition to "keep out of the reach of children" must be stored in locked storage at all times. In addition to medication and hazardous products, this also includes personal care items such as deodorant. While reviewing the new staff files, I noted that both staff members completed Recognizing and Reporting Suspected Child Abuse through Pro-Solutions. Please note that this training cannot be counted in place of the Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment offered through Prevent Child Abuse NC that is required for all staff members within the first ninety days of employment. All staff must complete this specific training initially, but can complete a similar training such as the one offered through Pro-Solutions to meet the five year requirement. The violations were marked as corrected during the visit; therefore, a compliance letter was not required as a follow-up. However, a follow up visit may be conducted to monitor compliance. Please contact me at 919-819-9301 or at leigh.mckenzie-lee@dhhs.nc.gov if I can be of assistance. If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000).

Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your type of program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all the applicable laws and rules at all times. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules. I explained that you have access to the on-line version of the Child Care Rule Book, as well as a hard copy of the rules. I recommended that you visit the Division of Child Development's website (www.ncchildcare.nc.gov) on a regular basis to find out what's new in childcare. You could also find any needed Child Care forms by going on the web site and clicking on the "Provider" tab and then clicking on the "Provider Documents" tab. Several of the forms that were required to be posted were covered by a white board. Please make certain all of the required paperwork can be easily seen. The health and safety trainings must be completed every five years. The health and safety trainings have now been relocated from Pro-Solutions to Moodle on the DCDEE website and remain free of charge. I encouraged you to use the Health and Safety tracking log to ensure all topics are covered. I noted that both Medication Administration and Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment are part of this series.
