The director, Molly Little, assisted me with today’s visit. We conducted a walk-through of the indoor and outdoor learning environments. I observed groups of children engaged in outdoor play and other groups washing hands, preparing for lunch or eating lunch.

The last fire inspection was conducted on 5/5/25 The last documented fire drill was conducted on 12/16/25. The last documented shelter-in-place or lockdown drill was conducted on 8/13/25. The last documented playground inspection was conducted on 11/5/25. The status of the owners, Fuquay Varina Baptist Church., is listed as current and active on the NC Secretary of State website. Limited monitoring of childcare requirements was assessed during today’s visit. I reviewed emergency medications, 2 new staff files and confirmed that all staff have current CPR, First Aid as required. The program does not transport children or enroll children under 2 years; therefore, these requirements were not assessed. The following violations were observed and recorded during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 859 Monthly playground inspections were not completed and/or they were not completed by an individual trained in playground safety requirements. The last documented playground inspection was conducted 11/5/25. .0605(q) 1044 Prior to the expiration date of the qualification letter, the child care provider did not complete and submit required forms to complete a criminal background check (a qualification letter is valid for a maximum of five years for the date of issuance). Four staff members have current qualification letters on file, but they were not renewed prior to the expiration date. G.S. 110-90.2(b) & .2703(n)&(o) 1811 Shelter-in-place or lockdown drills were not practiced every three months and/or drill record was incomplete. The last emergency drill was conducted 8/13/25. .0604(u);.0302(d)(8) The above violations must be corrected immediately. By 1/27/26 please email me a signed letter of compliance. Before the letter is sent, all violations should be corrected; please contact me if additional time is needed to correct a specific violation. Include the following in your letter: facility ID number, list the item number describing how and when the violations were corrected and tell me how you plan to maintain compliance in the future with each item. If you prefer to mail your letter, you may send it to 2201 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-2201 If the compliance action letter is not received by the due date another visit to the center may be made and additional violations may be added. COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit, the program’s compliance history was 97%. According to NC General Statute 110-90 (4) (d) all facilities must maintain a compliance history of at least seventy-five percent (75%) for the past 18 months. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Criminal records are completed every 5 years to ensure that all staff meet the qualifications to work in child care. It is crucial that qualification letters remain current by renewing them before the expiration date. Four staff members have current qualification letters in their files, but all the letters were renewed at least one month past the expiration date. Staff can renew their criminal record qualification at least 6 months in advance. There are several ways to help staff remember when their qualification letters are due for renewal. Periodically, you can review the staff and training worksheets to see who is coming due, or you could set a calendar reminder or develop a separate document that tracks this information. Emergency drills are conducted to ensure that all staff and children can quickly respond in the event of an emergency that requires the children to shelter in place or the center needs to be locked down. These drills should be co=P0mpleted at least once every 3 months. It may be helpful to set a calendar reminder to help you track when the next drill is due. CONSULTATION minimal All childcare facilities are required to test their drinking and cooking water for led every three years. Your water was last tested, 4/14/24. For more information, you should contact Clean Water for Carolina Kids. Contact www.cleanwaterforcarolinakids.org for more information. In addition, childcare facilities are now required to test for lead and asbestos hazards in their buildings. This center is determined to be exempt from testing for lead-based paint and asbestos. Additional information can be found in the RaiseNC newsletter sent on December 7, 2023.

The director and owner, Molly Little, assisted me with today’s visit. We conducted a walk-through of the indoor and outdoor learning environments.I observed groups of children engaged in free play or participating in group time in their classrooms. RATED LICENSE STATUS The program operates with a Notice of Compliance issued in 2014. A Special Provisional license was issued on 12/18/23 and the action was closed on 7/14/24. The program is licensed to provide care for children who are 2 to 12 years or age and they do not accept vouchers. INSPECTIONS The last sanitation inspection was conducted 12/18/23. The last fire inspection was conducted 5/1/24. The last documented fire drill was conducted 7/31/24. The last documented shelter-in-place or lockdown drill was conducted 5/3/24. The last documented playground inspection was conducted 10/3/24. The status of the owners, Fuquay Varina Baptist Church is listed as current and active on the NC Secretary of State website. Limited monitoring of child care requirements was assessed during today’s visit. I reviewed emergency medications, 3 new staff files and confirmed that all staff have current CPR and First Aid certificates, as required. The following violations were observed and recorded during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 805 Fire drills were not practiced monthly and/or the drill record was incomplete.The last documented fire drill was conducted 7/31/24. .0604(t); .0302(d)(5) 1044 Prior to the expiration date of the qualification letter, the child care provider did not complete and submit required forms to complete a criminal background check (a qualification letter is valid for a maximum of five years for the date of issuance).

There was less than 6 inches of mulch around the climbing structures on all three playgrounds. .0605(k)(1-4) The above violations must be corrected immediately. By 11/21/24 please email me a signed letter of compliance. Before the letter is sent, all violations should be corrected; please contact me if additional time is needed to correct a specific violation.

COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit, the program’s compliance history was 95%. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Emergency drills are crucial to ensuring that staff and children know what to do in the event of an emergency. You stated that you had started a new drill log in August, but you were unable to locate this log, so I was unable to verify that any fire, shelter in place or lock down drills had occurred in this new school year. One staff members qualification letter expired 9/30/24. You stated that you had missed that when you were updating staff files. It may be helpful to keep a log or spreadsheet that shows when important staff dates are due to be renewed. This staff member should begin right away renewing her criminal background check. If she does not have a valid qualification letter on file within 14 calendar days, she will be unable to return to work until this is completed. Mulch is needed around the climbing structures on all three playgrounds. Sufficient protective surfacing helps provide cushioning in the event that a child falls from a climbing structure. The mulch should be at least 6 inches in depth and extend 6 feet around the structures. CONSULTATION All child care facilities are required to test their drinking and cooking water for led every three years. Your water was last tested for lead in April 2024. For more information, you should contact Clean Water for Carolina Kids. Contact www.cleanwaterforcarolinakids.org for more information. In addition, child care facilities are now required to test for lead and asbestos hazards in their buildings. The Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program is designed to identify and eliminate exposure to lead and asbestos hazards in building infrastructure, while providing child care facilities with the support needed to meet all rule requirements.
