The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was ninety five percent (95%) as of 2/10/26. 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. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on (2/10/26) and GRANVILLE COUNTY SCHOOLS was listed as current- active. A full assessment and walk-through of the facility was completed today. The following was observed: license posted, and restrictions followed, summary of law posted, attendance taken daily, emergency medical care plan posted, activity plans posted, daily schedule posted, menus posted, allergies posted, storage of hazardous materials and substances, CPR/First Aid and training completed as required, and Criminal Record Checks completed as required. I also observed children in the indoor learning environment and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were participating in snack time, homework, transitions, and personal care routines. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. I reviewed all staff files during today’s visit. A sampling of Children’s files (ten percent of enrollment) was reviewed today. Emergency drill log: Shelter and lock down drills on 12/19/25. Fire drill: 1/12/26. Sanitation (8/22/25) and fire (8/25/25) remain current. A checklist was used to note the requirements I monitored today. Two violations were cited during today’s visit. However technical assistance was given to the provider to ensure compliance.
