Children throughout the facility were participating in routines, breakfast, group time, outdoor play, and free play during today’s visit.

On Playground #1 and Playground #2, the rubber mulch measured zero (0) to two (2) inches across the fall zones below the stationary play structures. According to the manufacturer's ATSM Material Report, the rubber mulch must be a depth of at least three (3) inches across the required fall zones under the stationary play structures. .0605(j) 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. In Space #5, one (1) bottle of Kiss Pink Paradise Fragrance Mist with multiple warnings was in the last unlocked top cabinet against the wall furthest from the classroom entrance. In Space #6, one (1) pack of Boogie Wipes Gentle Saline Nose Wipes with multiple warnings, was in an unlocked drawer under the handwashing sink. .2820(b) The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. Send me a letter of compliance describing in detail specifically how each violation was corrected and how compliance will be maintained in the future. Include the violation item number, statement of compliance, date of the visit and license ID number in the letter. I must receive your compliance statement by October 25, 2023. Please send your letter to christine.rosinski@dhhs.nc.gov. Failure to correct the violations and send the written statement by the due date may result in an unannounced follow-up visit being conducted or an administrative action may be recommended. 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. You must maintain at least 75% Compliance History for each 18-month period as required by G.S. 110-90(4) (c). Prior to today's visit, your program maintained a compliance history of 84%. Please note any violations cited during future visits will negatively impact your compliance history. Repeated violations or violations left unresolved may lead to an administrative action. Technical assistance was provided on the following: 1. The staff member conducting playground inspections should thoroughly check the playground to ensure equipment and furnishings are sturdy, stable, and free of hazards that may injure children including sharp edges, lead based or peeling paint, rust, loose nails, splinters, protrusions, and pinch and crush points. Teachers should check the playgrounds daily before use to ensure no broken toys or hazards are present. Any items that are considered hazardous, and all broken toys should be repaired or removed immediately. You stated you plan to remove the broken benches from the playground. 2. All stationary outdoor equipment more than 18 inches high must be installed over protective surfacing. Footings which anchor equipment may not be exposed. Protective surfacing must be either: (1) loose surfacing material, including wood mulch, double shredded bark mulch, uniform wood chips, fine sand, coarse sand, and pea gravel, except that pea gravel shall not be used if the area will be used by children under three years of age. Loose surfacing material shall not be installed over concrete; or (2) other materials that have been certified by the manufacturer to be shock-absorbing protective material in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard F 1292, may be used if installed, maintained, and replaced according to the manufacturer's instructions. This standard is incorporated by reference and does include subsequent editions. This standard may be found online at https://www.astm.org/Standards/F1292.htm for a cost of sixty-five dollars ($65.00). The depth of the loose surfacing material is based on the critical height of the equipment, which is defined as the maximum height that a child may sit, or stand, as follows: (1) equipment with a critical height of 5 feet or less must have at least 6 inches of loose surface materials; (2) equipment with a critical height of more than 5 feet, but less than 7 feet, must have at least 6 inches of loose surfacing material, except for sand; (3) equipment with a critical height of 7 feet to 10 feet must have at least 9 inches of any of the loose surfacing material, except for sand; and (4) when sand is used as a surfacing material for equipment with a critical height of more than 5 feet, at least 12 inches is required. Protective surfacing must cover the area under and around equipment where a child may fall, referred to as the fall zone. The area for fall zones is as follows: (1) for stationary outdoor equipment used by children under two years of age, the protective surfacing must extend beyond the external limits of the equipment for a minimum of three feet, except that protective surfacing must be required at all points of entrance and exit for any structure that has a protective barrier; and (2) for stationary outdoor equipment used by children two years of age or older, the protective surfacing must extend beyond the external limits of the equipment for six feet. I suggested you note mulch measurements on the monthly playground inspections to ensure the proper depth of surfacing is maintained. I also suggested you rake and fluff mulch on playgrounds regularly to prevent the mulch from becoming compact and built up. According to the manufacturer’s ATSM Material Report, the rubber mulch on Playground #1 and Playground #2 must be a depth of at least three (3) inches across the required fall zones under the stationary play structures. 3. All hazardous items with multiple warnings and items in aerosol containers must be kept in locked storage. Items labeled “keep out of reach of children” with no other warnings can be stored five (5) feet off the ground. Have staff check their classroom thoroughly each morning to ensure all hazardous products are stored properly. I also suggested you have staff check the classrooms thoroughly after the church has used the spaces to ensure all items are stored properly. The fragrance spray and boogie wipes were placed in a locked cabinets in the classrooms during the visit. Consultation Qualifying letters are now valid for five (5) years from the date of issue. Please begin the criminal background re-check at least two (2) months prior to the expiration of the current qualifying letter.
