Maintaining these records on file is important, as they provide valuable insight pertaining to each child’s physical and developmental needs. This information helps caregivers effectively plan individualized activities that support each child’s growth and development. Additionally, having up-to-date medical information ensures providers are aware of any communicable diseases or health conditions that may require special care, particularly in situations where this information may not have been previously communicated by the parent. RATED LICENSE ASSESSMENT: In addition to the annual compliance visit, a rated license assessment was also completed using the Quality Rating Improved System (QRIS) to return the facility to a star rated license. A new rated license will be assessed based on the following: Pathway 2: Classroom & Instructional Quality Pathway: During today’s visit, Ms. Myers stated that one (1) staff member is currently pending the submission of their transcript to their WORKS account. I stated to Ms. Myers that all staff members must have their education evaluated in WORKS to proceed with the rated license assessment. Family and Community Engagement Standards: The operator meets all required foundational practices and at least three (3) additional family and community engagement options in each category: • Two-way communication with family; • The child care center offers an enrollment orientation that includes an opportunity for families and child(ren) to visit the assigned classroom and lead teacher prior to the first day of enrollment; • The center administrator offers at least one family event annually that includes an educational opportunity for staff and families to learn together.

To award stars, 50% of all lead teachers and 50% of all other educators must be determined as required by Child Care Rules .3212, .3213, .3214 and .3215. Failure to verify and/or determine education may result in the facility obtaining a star rating that would either reduce subsidy reimbursement rates or make the facility ineligible to participate in the subsidy program. As a reminder, all licensed facilities must obtain a 3, 4, or 5 star rated license to receive subsidy reimbursements. I stated to Ms. Myers that Ms. Hannah must submit all transcripts by February 6, 2026, so that I may complete the rated license assessment. Ms. Myers stated that she understood.

CRIMINAL BACKGROUND PORTAL: As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted.

Becky Williams, Lead Child Care Consultant, accompanied me on today's visit. During the visit 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 participating during naptime. A meal or snack was not observed during the visit. During the visit, the items that were documented during the 1-17-24 visit were monitored for compliance: Item # 840 - Hazardous products were not observed inappropriately stored during the visit. An additional violation was not documented. Item # 1756 - Enhanced minus one ratios were in compliance. An additional violation was not documented. Item # 9999 - The kitchen door was locked at the time of the visit. An additional violation was not documented. During the visit, staff files and a percentage of children's files were monitored for compliance. Violation Number Comment Rule 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children. A plastic bag was observed under the edge of a cot sheet, near a child's face while sleeping. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(a) 1329 Application for enrollment did not include all required information. The application was not fully completed in two of the children's files reviewed. .0801(a)(1-7) While monitoring space 1, I noted a plastic bag under the edge of a cot sheet, near the face of a three year old child who was asleep. You stated that the bag is used to stored extra cot sheets, but were not sure why it was under this child's sheet. I explained that this was a suffocation hazard and requested that you remove the bad immediately from under the sheet. You did so upon request and the violation was marked as corrected during the visit. Please ensure that these types of bags are not stored under any of the cot sheets. You stated that the enrollment in both classrooms was reduced following the 1-17-24 visit so ensure enhanced ratios minus one can be maintained. We discussed the possibility of changing your program standard points, thus changing the ratios you are required to meet to enhanced instead of enhanced minus one. Based on your current point levels, a reduction from seven points to six points in program standards will not impact your overall star rating. As the facility contact person, you are permitted to request changes to the license. If you choose to move forward with this change to the license, please submit a signed written statement to me at PO Box 1537 Smithfield, NC 27577. We also discussed the possibility of switching the classrooms to move the group of older children to the larger room. This change will not impact your rated license, so you will not need to notify me if you make this change. However please ensure that if you switch the classrooms, both rooms are set back up in compliance with child care requirements, including furnishings and materials, as well as posted items. The violations documented during the 1-17-24 visit were observed to be corrected at the time of the visit. Therefore, a compliance letter for the visit is no longer required. 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 violation was corrected. The written statement must be received no later than 2-12-24. 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. Compliance letters are required if there are violations that cannot be corrected during the visit. The two week timeframe is established to allow time for submission of the letter or email. This deadline must be met or a follow up visit may be conducted. Please ensure that all items are fully addressed in your compliance letters. Failure to address all items may also lead to a follow up visit. If you are not able to fully correct an item or items prior to the submission deadline, you will need to contact me by email, giving a detailed explanation of why the violation had not been corrected and identifying a date by which the item will be corrected. This will allow me to request an extension on items that have not been corrected. For example, if a staff member needs to complete ITS-SIDS to correct a violation and the training is not available until after the submission deadline, please register the staff member for the training and then email me with the date of the training.

10A NCAC 09 .2818 · Violation

Name of Operation: NEW BREED CHRISTIAN ACADEMY Facility ID: 43000370 Consultant: LEIGH MCKENZIE-LEE Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 1/17/2024 Number Present: 31 Completed Date: 1/17/2024 Age: From 0 To 7 Total Minutes: 80 Time In: 10:30 AM Time Out: 11:50 AM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Annual Comp Full Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today's unannounced visit was to monitor compliance of applicable child care requirements during your annual compliance visit. At the time of my arrival, you, the administrator, were not present at the facility. The staff member in space 2 contacted you and informed you of my arrival. You arrived at the facility several minutes later. You explained that several staff members and children were out with a virus. Due to the high number of individuals who were sick, the time of the visit was limited and documentation was not completed on site. In addition, you stated that you did not complete the Staff and Training worksheet. A copy of this form was left with you; please complete by 1-24-24. Staff, program and children's files will be reviewed during a follow up visit. I monitored the indoor and outdoor environments for compliance with applicable child care requirements. Staff/child ratios, supervision, use of space and capacity were monitored for compliance. The permit, sanitation, evacuation, safe arrival and departure procedures, first aid chart, menus, daily schedule, staff/child ratios and a summary of NC Child Care Law were all posted. The storage of medication and hazardous products was also monitored for compliance. An approved fire inspection was completed on 8-28-23. A sanitation inspection was completed on 12-19-23 with nine demerits and a superior classification. The children were observed in free play and preparing for lunch, which consisted of spaghetti with beef, sweet peas, mixed fruit, sliced bread and milk. The status of New Breed Baptist Church was verified as current and active following the visit using the Secretary of State's website. A four star child care center license with four points in education and seven points in program standards was issued on 3-14-19. Based on this date, your license will be due for a reassessment from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. More information will be forthcoming regarding your rated license assessment. Violation Number Comment Rule 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. Clorox aerosol disinfectant spray was stored on top of the fire system box in the lobby of the facility. Zeyo Insect aerosol spray was stored on top of the white cabinet, not in locked storage, in the kitchen. A variety of hazardous products, including Clorox bleach, Clorox toilet bowl cleaner, Pinesol, Cleaning Vinegar, Swiffer liquid, two aerosol cans of Raid and two aerosol cans of Clorox Disinfectant spray, were stored in an unlocked cabinet in the kitchen. .2820(b) 1756 Enhanced staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. The facility has elected to meet the highest enhanced staff/child ratios. Fifteen children, from three years of age to school age, were present in space 1 with one staff member. A one to nine ratio is required when three year old children are present. Sixteen children, from four years of age to school age, were present in space 2 with one staff member. A one to twelve ratio is required when three year old children are present. 10A NCAC 09 .2818 9999 A violation was found for which there is no item number. The door to the kitchen was not locked as required. This is a violation of 15A NCAC 18A .2808(e), which states "Children shall not be in the kitchen except when participating in a supervised activity." A violation pertaining to staff/child ratios was documented. Sixteen children, including children from four years of age to school age children, were present with one staff member in space 2. Based on the restriction on your license, both classrooms must meet the highest enhanced staff/child ratios. The ratio when four year old children are present is one to twelve. I asked the staff member if she notified anyone of this overage and she stated that you were notified earlier in the day. At that time, you were in the kitchen of the facility. I talked with you regarding the ratio violation and asked if you or another staff member could go into space 2 to provider ratio coverage; you stated that you would. In space 1, fifteen children, including children three years of age to school age children, were present with one staff member. The ratio when three year old children are present is one to nine. I also asked the staff member in this classroom if she notified anyone of this overage and she stated that you were notified. After monitoring space 1, I discussed the violation in both classrooms with you and inquired if there were other staff members that could be called to come in for coverage. New Breed has another child care center located in front of this facility. You stated initially that all extra staff members were sent home sick. After I discovered the overage in space 1, you then stated that an additional staff member was called to come in. I inquired about staff/child ratio at the other center since you were going to remain at this center and an additional staff member was called in and you assured me that staff/child ratios were in compliance at the other center without both of you. As we discussed, you cannot choose to be out of compliance with child care requirements, including staff/child ratio requirements, due to a shortage of staff members. If you do not have enough staff members present to maintain ratios at all times, you must send children home until you have reduced the number present to maintain compliance with ratios based on the number of staff present at the center. After I concluded the visit and returned to my vehicle, I waited in the parking lot for the additional staff member to arrive that would bring space 1 into compliance. I waited fifteen minutes and no other staff members were observed arriving at the center. During this time, I reviewed the capacity for both classrooms to determine if children could be combined in a different way to come into compliance with only three staff members present. One child was observed leaving during this time, which reduced the total of children present to thirty. I went back into the facility and explained that you could move three children from space 2 into space 1, reducing the total number present in space 2 to twelve with the youngest child being four years of age. This would only require one staff member to maintain ratio. The three children could be placed in space 1, increasing the total number present to eighteen, with the youngest child being three years of age. Two staff members would be required; the staff member who was present in the space and you would provide coverage for this classroom. You moved the three children into space 1 and you explained to the staff member in that room that you would be with her to provide coverage. This brought both classrooms into compliance with the highest staff/child ratio requirements; thus the violation was marked as corrected during the visit. A follow up visit may be conducted in the near future to ensure compliance with child care requirements. Choosing to not maintain compliance with child care requirements may lead to the issuance of an administrative action against your license. It is imperative that you maintain compliance in all areas and when you cannot, even if you must send children home early or not operate until sick staff members return to work, you cannot choose to operate when out of compliance with staff/child ratio requirements. This type of violations directly impact the safety of the children and must be corrected immediately. 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 1-31-24. 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. Compliance letters are required if there are violations that cannot be corrected during the visit. The two week timeframe is established to allow time for submission of the letter or email. This deadline must be met or a follow up visit may be conducted. Please ensure that all items are fully addressed in your compliance letters. Failure to address all items may also lead to a follow up visit. If you are not able to fully correct an item or items prior to the submission deadline, you will need to contact me by email, giving a detailed explanation of why the violation had not been corrected and identifying a date by which the item will be corrected. This will allow me to request an extension on items that have not been corrected. For example, if a staff member needs to complete ITS-SIDS to correct a violation and the training is not available until after the submission deadline, please register the staff member for the training and then email me with the date of the training. An extension would then be requested to allow time for the staff member to complete the training and for you to submit verification to me by email. Please contact me if you have questions pertaining to compliance letters. Please contact me at 919-819-9301 or at leigh.mckenzie-lee@dhhs.nc.gov if I can be of assistance.
