I reviewed emergency medications, 4 new staff files and confirmed that all staff have current qualification letters, CPR, First Aid, and ITS SIDS certificates, as required. The program does not transport children or enroll school-aged children; therefore, these requirements were not assessed. The following violations were observed and recorded during today’s visit.

This documentation was reviewed with you and a copy of the visit summary documentation was given to you at the end of the visit. Vanessa Price, Child Care Consultant accompanied me for this visit. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the center director, Michele Carter, and we conducted a general walk through of the indoor and outdoor learning environments. I observed groups of children engaged in free play in their classrooms or on the playground. I also observed infant rest time and confirmed that the staff were checking and documenting the infants’ sleep positions, as required. RATED LICENSE STATUS The program operates with a 4-star rated license issued on 2/15/19. They received 6 points in program standards, 3 points in staff education and one quality point through the programmatic option of having a staff benefit package and an infrastructure of parent involvement. The program’s “held harmless status” has been extended until the new QRIS is implemented. This means that rated license visits will not be processed until the new rated license process is completed unless the program requests to proceed with a new rated license. INSPECTIONS The last sanitation inspection was completed on 9/11/23. You stated that you have contacted the sanitation inspection. The last fire inspection was completed The last documented fire drill was conducted The last documented lock down or shelter-in-place drill was conducted The last documented playground inspection was conducted MONITORING During this visit a full assessment of Child Care Requirements was conducted. The status of the owner, Wake Kids, Inc. is listed as current and active on the NC Secretary of State’s website. Staff on-going training was assessed from 9/1/23 – 8/31/24. Six of the staff members whose files were reviewed today, did not have documentation in their files that they had completed their required number of training hours. Please have them complete these hours by the end of the month. The following violations were observed and recorded during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 1232 Each employee's personnel file did not contain an annual staff evaluation and a staff development plan. Current professional development plans and annual staff evaluations were missing from the three staff files that were reviewed today, for employees who have been working in the center more than 1 year. 10A NCAC 09 .0514(f) 1314 Emergency information did not name childs health care professional. Two of the children's files reviewed today did not list the name of the preferred hospital. .0802(c)(2) 1757 A valid qualification letter was not on file and available to review at the facility. One staff member's provisional qualification letter expired 7/24/24. G.S. 110-90.2(b) & (d) & .2703(e) 1897 The child care administrator and all staff did not complete the Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. Most of the staff who have been employed more than 90 days, but less than one year, did not have documentation in their file that they had completed this training. .1102(g) 1898 Staff did not complete the health and safety training within one year of employment. Newer staff who have been employed more than one year did not have documentation in their file that they had completed training in these required topics. .1102(a) The above violations must be corrected immediately.

If you prefer to mail your letter, you may send it my attention at 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. COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit, the compliance history score for the center was 93%. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Training in the required health and safety training topics is required because it ensures that all staff have a basic understanding of child care requirements and are prepared to handle situations that may arise. Multiple new staff, who had been employed more than one year did not have documentation in their file that they had completed training in these required topics. Setting calendar reminders and periodically reviewing staff training helps staff stay on track to complete these trainings within the required time frame. Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment is required to be completed within their first 90 days of employment. This training equips staff in being able to recognize potential maltreatment issues and how to respond to these concerns, which is very helpful for new staff. Multiple new staff did not have documentation on file that they had completed this training. I recommend having staff complete this training within their first week of employment. Parents must indicate their hospital preference on their child’s application. This information was not included in 2 of the children’s files reviewed today. Current staff development plans and annual staff evaluations were missing from three staff member’s files. Having a plan and routine feedback ensures that the center staff continue to grow and develop themselves professionally. Setting a goal and planning a few of these reviews each month helps to break this task up into smaller, manageable portions. Valid qualification letters are required for all staff members and it is a vital way of assuring that all staff meet the minimum requirement to work in the child care field. One staff member was hired with a provisional qualification letter which expired 7/24/24. A current qualification letter was not in her file. Please follow up with this staff member and ask her to check her account for updates. . CONSULTATION Child Care facilities are required to test their drinking and cooking water for lead every three years. You stated that you had your water tested in December 2023. You stated that your program was exempt for having to test for lead based paint and asbestos. Training in all the required health and safety topics must be completed at least every 5 years. It may be time for your staff to complete this training again. Health and Safety training is available, at no charge, on the DCDEE website, in Moodle. Medication Administration is also a required health and safety training topic. This training is available through Moodle as a separate training. Staff should use their individual NCID user name and password to access this training. Staff should use their individual NCID user name and password to access this training.
