Children were observed during indoor and outdoor free play, routines, lunch, and nap/rest time. The last monthly fire drill was completed on January 2, 2026, at 10am. The last playground inspection was completed on January 1, 2026. A sample of three children’s files were reviewed. Two new staff files were reviewed. The menu that was posted was dated December 15, 2025, through December 19, 2025. The daily schedule was posted. We discussed the star rated license. You stated that you plan to apply for a star rated license using the Classroom and Instructional Quality Pathway. I discussed with you that programs with less than a three-star license will not be eligible to receive subsidy funding. All staff must establish a DCDEE WORKS account and have their education evaluations completed by Workforce by February 1, 2026. Documentation from Workforce on the results of the education evaluation must be on file for review for each staff member. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was printed, reviewed, and a copy was left with you. The following violations were observed today.

(omit posting for centers located in a residence) The written feeding plan was not posted in space #3 for one toddler, thirteen months of age. 10A NCAC 09 .0902(a) 609 Staff did not wash their hands thoroughly before beginning work, before/after handling food, before bottle feeding or serving to other children, after toileting or handling body fluids, after diaper changing and after handling soiled items. While caring for children on playground #2, the lead teacher did not wash her hands or use a hand antiseptic after wiping a child's runny nose. 15A NCAC 18A .2803(a) 849 Leftover medicines were not returned to the parent after the course of treatment was completed, after authorization was withdrawn or after authorization had expired and/or medication was not discarded within 72 hours of completion of treatment or withdrawal of authorization. In space #3, the leftover medication, Lotrimin AF, was stored in the locked cabinet above the sink and not returned to the parent after the course of treatment was completed or the authorization ended. The medication authorization on file was valid from December 8, 2025, until December 12, 2025. .0803(12) 1830 Potential biocontaminants were not stored properly (locked storage, removed from premises, inaccessible to children, or covered plastic lined receptacle). One child, three years of age was on playground #2. The child was crying and had a runny nose. The child was wearing a jacket and the lead teacher used the child's jacket to wipe the child's nose. The child continued to wear the jacket that was used to wipe the bodily fluid. .0604(v) Technical assistance was provided on the following: Bio-contaminants A “biocontaminant” means blood, bodily fluids, or excretions that may spread infectious disease and stored or disposed of in one of the following ways: stored in locked areas, removed from the premises, inaccessible to children, or shall be disposed of in a covered, plastic lined receptacle. When children are transitioning to the outdoor learning environment, I suggested that staff carry an “outdoor” bag that contains tissues, baby wipes, band aids, etc. in case a child has a runny nose, or an injury and you place a trash can on the playground that has a cover and a trash bag. Activity Plan The activity plan posted in space #3, and space #4, did not identify four different activities daily. The following activities were identified on the activity plan dated January 5, 2026, through January 9, 2026: books and gross motor activities were offered daily, an art activity was offered on Tuesday, and a dramatic play activity was offered on Thursday. I suggested that you use the sample activity plan on DCDEE’s website or update the activity plan that you currently use to meet the requirements in child care rule .0508(g)2. (g) The activity plan shall: (2) reflect that the children have four different activities daily, at least one of which is outdoors, if weather conditions permit, as listed in G.S. 110-91(12) as follows: (A) art and other creative play; (B) children's books; (C) blocks and block building; (D) manipulatives; and (E) family living and dramatic play; and (3) include a daily gross motor activity that may occur indoors or outdoors. Handwashing Staff must wash their hands after handling bodily fluids. When staff are outdoors with the children, I suggested they have an outdoor bag that they carry with them that contains a hand antiseptic to use until they return indoors to wash their hands with soap and water. Feeding Plan Written feeding plans for children under fifteen months of age must be posted in the classroom where the child is fed. I suggested you make a copy of the written feeding plan and post it in the child’s classroom at the time of enrollment. Menus The menu posted in the kitchen and at the entrance of the facility was dated December 15, 2025, through December 19, 2025. You corrected this violation by posting a current menu. Medication I suggested you create a medication checklist that includes how long the medication authorization is valid and to ensure that medications are returned or discarded within 72 hours of completion or withdrawal of the authorization. Consultation was provided on the following. • Staff will need to create a DCDEE WORKS account and submit official transcripts so their education can be evaluated. Please assist staff with creating and submitting their education to the Workforce Unit in the Raleigh office. On the DCDEE website choose the Provider tab, DCDEE WORKS, and review the DCDEE WORKS Training Simulator Step-by-Step Instructions. Let me know if you have any questions or problems getting this task completed. • 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 in 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. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-8401 and someone will assist you. You have started the process. • We discussed that you would need to complete the Family and Community Engagement Standards document and the Continuous Quality Improvement Plan- Facility and place on file prior to the third unannounced visit. These documents are located on the application as embedded links. I emailed you the Application for Assessment for a Rated License for Centers. Please complete the application and email it to be on or before February 1, 2026.

The child continued to wear the jacket that was used to wipe the bodily fluid. .0604(v) Technical assistance was provided on the following: Bio-contaminants A “biocontaminant” means blood, bodily fluids, or excretions that may spread infectious disease and stored or disposed of in one of the following ways: stored in locked areas, removed from the premises, inaccessible to children, or shall be disposed of in a covered, plastic lined receptacle. When children are transitioning to the outdoor learning environment, I suggested that staff carry an “outdoor” bag that contains tissues, baby wipes, band aids, etc. in case a child has a runny nose, or an injury and you place a trash can on the playground that has a cover and a trash bag. Activity Plan The activity plan posted in space #3, and space #4, did not identify four different activities daily. The following activities were identified on the activity plan dated January 5, 2026, through January 9, 2026: books and gross motor activities were offered daily, an art activity was offered on Tuesday, and a dramatic play activity was offered on Thursday. I suggested that you use the sample activity plan on DCDEE’s website or update the activity plan that you currently use to meet the requirements in child care rule .0508(g)2. (g) The activity plan shall: (2) reflect that the children have four different activities daily, at least one of which is outdoors, if weather conditions permit, as listed in G.S. 110-91(12) as follows: (A) art and other creative play; (B) children's books; (C) blocks and block building; (D) manipulatives; and (E) family living and dramatic play; and (3) include a daily gross motor activity that may occur indoors or outdoors. Handwashing Staff must wash their hands after handling bodily fluids. When staff are outdoors with the children, I suggested they have an outdoor bag that they carry with them that contains a hand antiseptic to use until they return indoors to wash their hands with soap and water. Feeding Plan Written feeding plans for children under fifteen months of age must be posted in the classroom where the child is fed. I suggested you make a copy of the written feeding plan and post it in the child’s classroom at the time of enrollment. Menus The menu posted in the kitchen and at the entrance of the facility was dated December 15, 2025, through December 19, 2025. You corrected this violation by posting a current menu. Medication I suggested you create a medication checklist that includes how long the medication authorization is valid and to ensure that medications are returned or discarded within 72 hours of completion or withdrawal of the authorization. Consultation was provided on the following. • Staff will need to create a DCDEE WORKS account and submit official transcripts so their education can be evaluated. Please assist staff with creating and submitting their education to the Workforce Unit in the Raleigh office. On the DCDEE website choose the Provider tab, DCDEE WORKS, and review the DCDEE WORKS Training Simulator Step-by-Step Instructions. Let me know if you have any questions or problems getting this task completed. • 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 in 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. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-8401 and someone will assist you.

Based on Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 Section .2200, the Division of Child Development may take administrative action against the license and/or impose civil penalties based on the failure of the operator to correct any documented violations within the established time period. If you state in your corrective action plan letter, that corrections have been made when they have not, it will be considered falsification of information. Reminders: Any observed violations cited during visits will negatively affect the center's Compliance History Score. Your program must maintain a compliance score of at least 75% as required by G.S. 110-90 (4)(c). Your temporary license will end after March 12, 2026. Stay updated with changes and new rule updates by visiting the DCDEE website at: https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov.
