Additionally, I suggested you use the staff file checklist found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab to ensure all required documentation is on file. - Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan: All staff members must review the center's Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during orientation and on an annual basis thereafter with the staff member trained in Emergency Preparedness and Response. Documentation of the review must be maintained at the center in the individual's personnel file or in a file designated for emergency preparedness and response plan documents. All substitutes and volunteers counted in ratio must be informed of the child care center's Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan and its location. Documentation of this notice must be maintained in the individual personnel files or in a file designated for emergency preparedness and response plan documents. I suggested you review your facility’s Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during a staff meeting with all staff members at the same time you review the facility’s Emergency Medical Care Plan. I suggested you create a calendar reminder to ensure this meeting and review is conducted prior to the previous years’ review. - Emergency Medical Care Plan: Each child care center must have a written plan that sets forth the steps to follow in the event of a child medical emergency. The plan must be reviewed with all staff annually and whenever the plan is revised. This plan shall give the procedures to be followed to ensure that any child who becomes ill or is injured and requires medical attention while in care at the center receives appropriate medical attention. The following information is to be included in the center's emergency medical care plan: (1) The name of the person and at least one alternate, responsible for carrying out that plan of action, ensuring that appropriate medical care is given, and determining which of the following is needed: (A) first aid given at the center for an injury or illness needing only minimal attention; and (B) calling 911 in accordance with CPR or First Aid training recommendations. (2) The name of the person and one alternate, at the center responsible for: (A) ensuring that the signed authorization described in Paragraph (d) of this Rule is taken with the ill or injured child to the medical facility; (B) accompanying the ill or injured child to the medical facility; (C) notifying a child's parents or emergency contact person about the illness or injury and where the child has been taken for treatment; (D) obtaining substitute staff, if needed, to maintain required staff/child ratio and adequate supervision of children who remain in the center; and (3) A statement giving the location of the telephone located on the premises available for use in case of emergency. A telephone located in an office in the center that is sometimes locked during the time the children are present shall not be designated for use in an emergency. I suggested you review the facility’s Emergency Medical Care Plan with all staff at the same time that you review the facility’s Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan to ensure it is reviewed with staff at least annually or as changes are made. - Qualifying Letters/Criminal Background Checks: I suggested you create a working document or use the ABCMS Provider Portal to track the expiration dates of qualifying letters to ensure all staff members maintain a current and valid qualifying letter. I also suggested you review staff files regularly to ensure no qualifying letters have expired. Additionally, I suggested you use the staff file checklist found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab to ensure all required documentation is on file. I provided you with a copy of the staff file checklist during the visit.

The North Carolina Secretary of State website was viewed on April 21, 2026, and your business, First Wesleyan Christian School, was not listed. This program operates with a notice of compliance issued on October 31, 2003. The permit restrictions were in compliance including first shift (daytime care) and children under three years old in rooms with direct exits only. A walkthrough was completed, and all licensed indoor and outdoor spaces were monitored. A checklist was used to note the requirements I monitored today. I observed children in the indoor and outdoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were observed participating in gross motor play outdoors, teacher-lead group activities and free play indoors, personal care and handwashing routines, lunch, nap, and snack. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children.

I suggested you review your facility’s Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during a staff meeting with all staff members at the same time you review the facility’s Emergency Medical Care Plan. I suggested you create a calendar reminder to ensure this meeting and review is conducted prior to the previous years’ review. - Emergency Medical Care Plan: Each child care center must have a written plan that sets forth the steps to follow in the event of a child medical emergency. The plan must be reviewed with all staff annually and whenever the plan is revised.

I also suggested you review staff files regularly to ensure no qualifying letters have expired. Additionally, I suggested you use the staff file checklist found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab to ensure all required documentation is on file.

Name of Operation: FIRST WESLEYAN DAY CARE Facility ID: 3659015 Consultant: FARRAN RHYNE Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0326-462L Visit Date: 4/1/2026 Number Present: 74 Completed Date: 4/1/2026 Age: From 2 To 5 Total Minutes: 325 Time In: 12:35 PM Time Out: 06:00 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Self Report Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s visit was to obtain information related to a self-report received by the Division. During today’s unannounced visit, Amy Herriman, Administrator of the program, and Dr. Gina Thornburg, Administrator of First Wesleyan Christian School, accompanied me during a walk-through of the facility. During the visit, I discussed the information with Amy Herriman, Administrator of the program, Dr. Gina Thornburg, Administrator of First Wesleyan Christian School, and additional staff members. You and staff members had an opportunity to ask questions, state perceptions of the situation and provide pertinent information in response to the allegation. A self-report was received on March 27, 2026, regarding inappropriate discipline and supervision. Limited monitoring of child care requirements occurred during today’s visit. Video recordings and children’s records were reviewed. Based on the information obtained, the following was determined: On March 24, 2026, one child, two years of age, enrolled in Space #2, was left alone and unsupervised for one hour and twenty minutes from 3:30pm to 4:50pm on Playground #2. The two staff members responsible for the child at the time of the incident were, the Lead Teacher assigned to Space #42 and the Lead Teacher assigned to Space #1. The Lead Teachers noticed the child was missing around 4:50pm after they had completed diaper changes for the additional children in their care. The Lead Teacher assigned to Space #42, found the child standing in the far-right corner of Playground #2, and the child had not been injured. Ms.Herriman, Administrator, stated the child’s parents were notified of the incident on March 30, 2026. On March 26, 2026, at 7:10am, a child, five years of age, enrolled in Space #9, arrived at the facility. The child was signed in by the parent in Space #3, the indoor space designated for the first and last operating hour of the day. At 7:23am, the five-year-old child was sitting on the floor watching television with seven additional children, ranging from two years of age to five years of age. The float staff member is assigned to Space #3, Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 8:00am. The float staff member demanded the child move from sitting on the floor to sitting in a chair at the table. The child responded, ‘No’. The float staff member immediately grabbed the child by the left forearm then aggressively pulled on the child’s arm to get her to stand from her seated position and dragged the child to the chair at the table while yelling, “You don’t tell me, ‘No’!” During this time, the child was crying and flailing in attempt to get away from the float staff member. An additional staff member, the Lead Teacher assigned to Space #7, was present in Space #3 at the time of the incident and also observed aggressively grabbing and pulling the child’s arm and pushing on the child’s back. Both staff members were observed yelling at the child, “Get over here where she sat you. now!” The staff member grabs ahold of the child, pushes her, jerks the child by the arm and grabs the child again, and forced her to sit down. An incident unrelated to the self-report was observed while viewing the video footage. On March 26, 2026, one child, two years of age, enrolled in Space #2, was observed in Space #3, sitting on the floor crying for twenty minutes from 7:22am to 7:42am. The float staff member and the Lead Teacher assigned to Space #7 did not attempt to console the child and did not attend to the child’s needs. The float staff member was observed only speaking to the child from across the room, and said to the child, “You’re going to make me go to my room because you won’t quit crying.” The Lead Teacher assigned to Space #7 was also observed speaking to the child from across the room, and said to the child, “Now it’s time to stop. We’re not going to hold you. You’re going to have to stop crying.” The child was observed standing up, crying for one minute from 7:42am to 7:43am as he walked over to stand in front of the Lead Teacher assigned to Space #7 and the Lead Teacher said to the child, “Go sit down, quit crying. You’re a big boy now.” The following violations were observed, confirmed, and discussed with you during today’s visit. Due to the severity of the incidents, an administrative action may be recommended. Violation Number Comment Rule 303 Children were not adequately supervised at all times. On March 24, 2026, one child, two years of age, enrolled in Space #2, was left alone and unsupervised for one hour and twenty minutes from 3:30pm to 4:50pm on Playground #2. .1801(a)(1-5) 852 Incident reports were not completed each time a child was injured, it did not include all the information required in rule, it was not signed by the parent and/or it was not maintained in the child's file.

We’re not going to hold you. You’re going to have to stop crying” and “Go sit down, quit crying. You’re a big boy now.” .1803(a)(9) Technical Assistance was provided on the following: Supervision -Children must be adequately supervised at all times in child care centers. Adequate supervision means that: (1) staff must be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize their ability to hear or see the children at all times and render assistance; (2) staff must interact with the children while moving about the indoor or outdoor area; (3) staff must know where each child is located and be aware of the children's activities at all times; (4) staff must provide supervision appropriate to the individual age, needs, and capabilities of each child; and (5) staff must be able to see and hear children aged birth to five years old while the children are eating. I suggested you review this rule with all staff members at this time, and annually at a staff meeting. I also suggested you use and review your head count checklist to ensure information is recorded when all transitions are made for children in care throughout the day. All staff members should be aware of the number of children they are responsible for at all times. Discipline -We reviewed the following rule/law and technical assistance was provided on North Carolina General Statute 110-91 and Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .1803 regarding discipline. We discussed your program’s discipline policy and procedures. I suggested you review your discipline policy with staff members and discuss expectations for following the policy. -The Infant and Child Social Emotional Wellbeing for Early Educators training includes information on infant and child social and emotional wellbeing for early educators. Participants will understand the impact that safe, stable, nurturing relationships have on the social emotional development of infants and young children in the early education setting, increase awareness of how self-care and reflection is important in establishing and maintaining positive relationships, and learn strength-based approaches to apply when caring for children exhibiting dysregulated behaviors. I suggested you contact your local Child Care Health Consultants, Ashlyn Wadsworth at ashlyn.wadsworth@gastongov.com or Tara Knight at tara.knight@gastongov.com, to inquire about the Infant and Child Social Emotional Wellbeing for Early Educators training opportunity. Children’s Records -Incident reports: We discussed the information required by rule for incident reports and suggested that you review incident report requirements with all staff. I suggested that you review all incident reports once received to ensure all required information is obtained. This will allow you to gather any missing information from staff to be recorded prior to filing. Child care rule .0802(e) states the child care provider shall complete an incident report each time a child is injured as a result of an incident occurring while the child is in care. This incident report shall include: (1) facility identifying information; (2) the child's name; (3) date and time of the incident; (4) witness to the incident; (5) time the parent is notified of the incident and by whom; (6) piece of equipment involved, if applicable; (7) cause of injury, if applicable; (8) type of injury, if applicable; (9) body part injured, if applicable; (10) where the child received medical treatment, if applicable; (11) description of how and where the incident occurred, and the First Aid received; and (12) steps taken to prevent reoccurrence.

Name of Operation: FIRST WESLEYAN DAY CARE Facility ID: 3659015 Consultant: FARRAN RHYNE Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0326-462L Visit Date: 4/1/2026 Number Present: 74 Completed Date: 4/1/2026 Age: From 2 To 5 Total Minutes: 325 Time In: 12:35 PM Time Out: 06:00 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Self Report Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s visit was to obtain information related to a self-report received by the Division. During today’s unannounced visit, Amy Herriman, Administrator of the program, and Dr. Gina Thornburg, Administrator of First Wesleyan Christian School, accompanied me during a walk-through of the facility. During the visit, I discussed the information with Amy Herriman, Administrator of the program, Dr. Gina Thornburg, Administrator of First Wesleyan Christian School, and additional staff members. You and staff members had an opportunity to ask questions, state perceptions of the situation and provide pertinent information in response to the allegation. A self-report was received on March 27, 2026, regarding inappropriate discipline and supervision. Limited monitoring of child care requirements occurred during today’s visit. Video recordings and children’s records were reviewed. Based on the information obtained, the following was determined: On March 24, 2026, one child, two years of age, enrolled in Space #2, was left alone and unsupervised for one hour and twenty minutes from 3:30pm to 4:50pm on Playground #2. The two staff members responsible for the child at the time of the incident were, the Lead Teacher assigned to Space #42 and the Lead Teacher assigned to Space #1. The Lead Teachers noticed the child was missing around 4:50pm after they had completed diaper changes for the additional children in their care. The Lead Teacher assigned to Space #42, found the child standing in the far-right corner of Playground #2, and the child had not been injured. Ms.Herriman, Administrator, stated the child’s parents were notified of the incident on March 30, 2026. On March 26, 2026, at 7:10am, a child, five years of age, enrolled in Space #9, arrived at the facility. The child was signed in by the parent in Space #3, the indoor space designated for the first and last operating hour of the day. At 7:23am, the five-year-old child was sitting on the floor watching television with seven additional children, ranging from two years of age to five years of age. The float staff member is assigned to Space #3, Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 8:00am. The float staff member demanded the child move from sitting on the floor to sitting in a chair at the table. The child responded, ‘No’. The float staff member immediately grabbed the child by the left forearm then aggressively pulled on the child’s arm to get her to stand from her seated position and dragged the child to the chair at the table while yelling, “You don’t tell me, ‘No’!” During this time, the child was crying and flailing in attempt to get away from the float staff member. An additional staff member, the Lead Teacher assigned to Space #7, was present in Space #3 at the time of the incident and also observed aggressively grabbing and pulling the child’s arm and pushing on the child’s back. Both staff members were observed yelling at the child, “Get over here where she sat you. now!” The staff member grabs ahold of the child, pushes her, jerks the child by the arm and grabs the child again, and forced her to sit down. An incident unrelated to the self-report was observed while viewing the video footage. On March 26, 2026, one child, two years of age, enrolled in Space #2, was observed in Space #3, sitting on the floor crying for twenty minutes from 7:22am to 7:42am. The float staff member and the Lead Teacher assigned to Space #7 did not attempt to console the child and did not attend to the child’s needs. The float staff member was observed only speaking to the child from across the room, and said to the child, “You’re going to make me go to my room because you won’t quit crying.” The Lead Teacher assigned to Space #7 was also observed speaking to the child from across the room, and said to the child, “Now it’s time to stop. We’re not going to hold you. You’re going to have to stop crying.” The child was observed standing up, crying for one minute from 7:42am to 7:43am as he walked over to stand in front of the Lead Teacher assigned to Space #7 and the Lead Teacher said to the child, “Go sit down, quit crying. You’re a big boy now.” The following violations were observed, confirmed, and discussed with you during today’s visit. Due to the severity of the incidents, an administrative action may be recommended. Violation Number Comment Rule 303 Children were not adequately supervised at all times. On March 24, 2026, one child, two years of age, enrolled in Space #2, was left alone and unsupervised for one hour and twenty minutes from 3:30pm to 4:50pm on Playground #2. .1801(a)(1-5) 852 Incident reports were not completed each time a child was injured, it did not include all the information required in rule, it was not signed by the parent and/or it was not maintained in the child's file.

You’re a big boy now.” .1803(a)(9) Technical Assistance was provided on the following: Supervision -Children must be adequately supervised at all times in child care centers. Adequate supervision means that: (1) staff must be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize their ability to hear or see the children at all times and render assistance; (2) staff must interact with the children while moving about the indoor or outdoor area; (3) staff must know where each child is located and be aware of the children's activities at all times; (4) staff must provide supervision appropriate to the individual age, needs, and capabilities of each child; and (5) staff must be able to see and hear children aged birth to five years old while the children are eating. I suggested you review this rule with all staff members at this time, and annually at a staff meeting. I also suggested you use and review your head count checklist to ensure information is recorded when all transitions are made for children in care throughout the day. All staff members should be aware of the number of children they are responsible for at all times. Discipline -We reviewed the following rule/law and technical assistance was provided on North Carolina General Statute 110-91 and Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .1803 regarding discipline.

Participants will understand the impact that safe, stable, nurturing relationships have on the social emotional development of infants and young children in the early education setting, increase awareness of how self-care and reflection is important in establishing and maintaining positive relationships, and learn strength-based approaches to apply when caring for children exhibiting dysregulated behaviors. I suggested you contact your local Child Care Health Consultants, Ashlyn Wadsworth at ashlyn.wadsworth@gastongov.com or Tara Knight at tara.knight@gastongov.com, to inquire about the Infant and Child Social Emotional Wellbeing for Early Educators training opportunity. Children’s Records -Incident reports: We discussed the information required by rule for incident reports and suggested that you review incident report requirements with all staff.

Upon arrival you, Amy Herriman, Interim Director, assisted me with the visit. The Secretary of State website was checked on October 6, 2025, and First Wesleyan Christian School was not listed. The owner of the facility, First Wesleyan Christian School, is a non-profit, unincorporated organization. You had no updates to report. On October 6, 2025, the following allegation was received: There are allegations of violations of child care requirements. The allegations were regarding children’s records and supervision. The allegations were discussed with you and three (3) staff members. You and the staff members had an opportunity to ask questions, state perceptions of the situation and provide pertinent information in response to the allegation. A walkthrough of the facility and playground was completed. Staff and children were observed during nap time. You stated sixty-nine (69) children were present. Incident reports, incident logs, children’s records and video recordings were reviewed. Based on the walkthrough, records reviewed and staff interviews, the allegations for “There are allegations of violations of child care requirements regarding children’s records” was confirmed, therefore substantiated. “There are allegations of violations of child care requirements regarding supervision” was unconfirmed, therefore unsubstantiated. The following violation was observed: Violation Number Comment Rule 852 Incident reports were not completed each time a child was injured, it did not include all the information required in rule, it was not signed by the parent and/or it was not maintained in the child's file. On September 29, 2025, a child was injured, and an incident report was not completed. .0802 (e) Technical Assistance: Children’s Records – Incident Reports: We discussed the information required by rule for incident reports and suggested that you review incident report requirements with all staff. I suggested that you review all incident reports once received to ensure all required information is obtained. This will allow you to gather any missing information from staff to be recorded prior to filing. Child care rule .0802(e) states the child care provider shall complete an incident report each time a child is injured as a result of an incident occurring while the child is in care. This incident report shall include: (1) facility identifying information; (2) the child's name; (3) date and time of the incident; (4) witness to the incident; (5) time the parent is notified of the incident and by whom; (6) piece of equipment involved, if applicable; (7) cause of injury, if applicable; (8) type of injury, if applicable; (9) body part injured, if applicable; (10) where the child received medical treatment, if applicable; (11) description of how and where the incident occurred, and the First Aid received; and (12) steps taken to prevent reoccurrence. This report shall be signed by the person completing it and by the parent, a copy given to the parent or a parent signature declining a copy and the report maintained in the child's file. A copy of the form may be found on the Division's website at http://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/pdf_forms/DCDEE-0058.pdf. Supervision Children must be adequately supervised at all times in child care centers. Adequate supervision means that: (1) staff must be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize their ability to hear or see the children at all times and render assistance; (2) staff must interact with the children while moving about the indoor or outdoor area; (3) staff must know where each child is located and be aware of the children's activities at all times; (4) staff must provide supervision appropriate to the individual age, needs, and capabilities of each child; and (5) staff must be able to see and hear children aged birth to five years old while the children are eating. I suggested you review this rule with all staff members at this time, and annually at a staff meeting. I also suggested you implement a head count checklist to ensure all children are accounted for throughout the day. All staff members should be aware of the number of children they are responsible for at all times. Additionally, I suggested you remind staff to be extra cautious during transitions to ensure all children are accounted for.

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 76%. 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. All electrical outlets and power strips not in use must be kept covered with outlet covers at all times unless located behind furniture that cannot be moved by a child. I suggested you keep extra outlet covers in each classroom to ensure outlets and power strips are kept covered. You had extra outlet covers in the office and covered all uncovered outlets with covers during the visit. 2. Any medication remaining after the course of treatment is completed, after authorization is withdrawn or after authorization or medication has expired must be returned to the child's parents. Any medication the parent fails to retrieve within 72 hours of completion of treatment, or withdrawal of authorization, should be discarded. Standing permission to administer medications for chronic illnesses may be given for up to six (6) months. Standing permission to administer over-the-counter, topical ointments, topical teething ointment or gel, insect repellents, lotions, creams, fluoridated toothpaste, and powders, such as sunscreen, diapering creams, baby lotion, and baby powder, may be given for up to twelve (12) months. Staff members should check medications when brought into the facility and regularly thereafter to ensure none have expired. I suggested you have staff members in each classroom check all medications on the date the monthly fire drill is conducted (or at least monthly) to ensure no medications have expired. 3. All electrical appliances must be used only in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. For appliances with heating elements, such as laminators, hot glue guns, bottle warmers, crock pots, irons, coffee pots, or curling irons, neither the appliance nor any cord may be accessible to preschool-age children. Laminators may be used when children are not present. I suggested you discuss this rule with all staff members to ensure items with heating elements are not kept in the classrooms, or in any other area where they are accessible to children. The laminator was unplugged, and moved to locked storage during the visit. 4. The facility must obtain, from each parent, legal guardian, or full-time custodian a statement that attests that a copy of the center's written discipline policies was given to and discussed with him or her. That statement must include the following: (1) the child's name (2) the date of enrollment; and (3) if different, from the enrollment date the date the parent, legal guardian, or full-time custodian signed the statement. The signed, dated statement must be in the child's record and must remain on file in the center as long as the child is enrolled. Ensure the enrollment date of each child enrolled is documented on page with the signature of receipt of the discipline policy and placed in the child’s file. This signed statement must be on file on or before each child’s first day of care. I suggested you review all enrollment information obtained to ensure all required information is completed and on file prior to the child’s first day of care. 5. For any child with health care needs such as allergies, asthma, or other chronic conditions that require specialized health services, a medical action plan must be attached to the application. The medical action plan is to be completed by the child's parent or a health care professional and may include the following: a list of the child's diagnosis or diagnoses including dietary, environmental, and activity considerations that are applicable; contact information for the child's health care professional(s); medications to be administered on a scheduled basis; and medications to be administered on an emergency basis with symptoms, and instructions. The medical action plan must be updated when changes to the plan are made by the child's parent or health care professional, or at least annually. I suggested you review children’s files and medical action plans regularly to ensure no forms, including the medical action plans, have expired. I also suggested you review all medical action plans with any staff member assigned to a classroom which has a child with special healthcare needs enrolled. 6. Standing permission to administer medications for chronic illnesses may be given for up to six (6) months. A new Permission to Administer Medication for Chronic Medical Conditions form must be completed by the child’s guardian at least every six (6) months. Standing permission to administer over-the-counter, topical ointments, topical teething ointment or gel, insect repellents, lotions, creams, fluoridated toothpaste, and powders, such as sunscreen, diapering creams, baby lotion, and baby powder, may be given for up to twelve (12) months. Staff members should check Permission to Administer Medication Forms when brought into the facility and regularly thereafter to ensure they are filled out completely and properly and to ensure none have expired. No medication should be accepted by the facility without an accompanying Permission to Administer Medication Form. I suggested you have staff members in each classroom check all Permission to Administer Medication Forms on the date the monthly fire drill is conducted (or at least monthly) to ensure none have expired. 7. Child care providers and uncompensated providers who are not substitute providers or volunteers as including the director, must have a medical exam on file that is signed by a health care professional that indicates that the person is emotionally and physically fit to care for children prior to employment. When submitted, the medical statement may not be older than 12 months. I suggested you review staff files prior to a new employee beginning work to ensure all required information is on file. 8. All staff, including the director and individuals who volunteer more than once per week must have the results indicating the individual is free of active tuberculosis on file on or before the first day of work. This must be obtained within the 12 months prior to the date of employment and must be on file on or before the employee’s first day of work. New staff members should not be permitted to begin work until they have the results of a TB test showing negative results or screening form on file. I suggested you review staff files prior to a new employee beginning work to ensure all required information is on file. 9. All staff members, including the director, must have a Health Questionnaire, signed by the staff member, that indicates that the person is emotionally and physically fit to care for children annually following the initial medical statement. I suggested you have all staff members complete the form at the same time each year, prior to the previous years’ date, to ensure forms for all staff members are updated in a timely manner. 10. Child care providers, including the director, uncompensated providers, substitute providers, and volunteers, must have an Emergency Information Form, including the name, address, and telephone number of the person to be contacted in case of an emergency, and the responsible party's choice of health care professional on file on or before the first day of work. The emergency information must be updated as changes occur and at least annually. I suggested you have all staff members complete the form at the same time each year, prior to the previous years’ date, to ensure forms for all staff members are updated in a timely manner. 11. Your facility accepts subsidy payments. You must ensure that each new employee who is expected to have contact with children receives 16 hours of on-site orientation within the first six weeks of employment. As part of this orientation, each new employee must complete six hours of orientation within the first two weeks of employment. Please continue to use the Orientation Form found on the DCDEE website. I suggested you set calendar reminders to ensure each new employee’s orientation is completed within the required timeframes. 12. All staff members must complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. This training can be found at https://www.preventchildabusenc.org/recognizing-responding-online-course/ I suggested you set calendar reminders to ensure all new staff complete this training within the first 90 days of employment. I also suggested you use the Health and Safety Training Record to keep track of required trainings and to ensure trainings are completed on time.

I suggested you keep extra outlet covers in each classroom to ensure outlets and power strips are kept covered.

For any child with health care needs such as allergies, asthma, or other chronic conditions that require specialized health services, a medical action plan must be attached to the application. The medical action plan is to be completed by the child's parent or a health care professional and may include the following: a list of the child's diagnosis or diagnoses including dietary, environmental, and activity considerations that are applicable; contact information for the child's health care professional(s); medications to be administered on a scheduled basis; and medications to be administered on an emergency basis with symptoms, and instructions. The medical action plan must be updated when changes to the plan are made by the child's parent or health care professional, or at least annually. I suggested you review children’s files and medical action plans regularly to ensure no forms, including the medical action plans, have expired. I also suggested you review all medical action plans with any staff member assigned to a classroom which has a child with special healthcare needs enrolled. 6. Standing permission to administer medications for chronic illnesses may be given for up to six (6) months. A new Permission to Administer Medication for Chronic Medical Conditions form must be completed by the child’s guardian at least every six (6) months.

Staff members should check Permission to Administer Medication Forms when brought into the facility and regularly thereafter to ensure they are filled out completely and properly and to ensure none have expired. No medication should be accepted by the facility without an accompanying Permission to Administer Medication Form. I suggested you have staff members in each classroom check all Permission to Administer Medication Forms on the date the monthly fire drill is conducted (or at least monthly) to ensure none have expired. 7. Child care providers and uncompensated providers who are not substitute providers or volunteers as including the director, must have a medical exam on file that is signed by a health care professional that indicates that the person is emotionally and physically fit to care for children prior to employment.

All staff members, including the director, must have a Health Questionnaire, signed by the staff member, that indicates that the person is emotionally and physically fit to care for children annually following the initial medical statement. I suggested you have all staff members complete the form at the same time each year, prior to the previous years’ date, to ensure forms for all staff members are updated in a timely manner. 10. Child care providers, including the director, uncompensated providers, substitute providers, and volunteers, must have an Emergency Information Form, including the name, address, and telephone number of the person to be contacted in case of an emergency, and the responsible party's choice of health care professional on file on or before the first day of work.

Your facility accepts subsidy payments. You must ensure that each new employee who is expected to have contact with children receives 16 hours of on-site orientation within the first six weeks of employment. As part of this orientation, each new employee must complete six hours of orientation within the first two weeks of employment. Please continue to use the Orientation Form found on the DCDEE website. I suggested you set calendar reminders to ensure each new employee’s orientation is completed within the required timeframes. 12. All staff members must complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. This training can be found at https://www.preventchildabusenc.org/recognizing-responding-online-course/ I suggested you set calendar reminders to ensure all new staff complete this training within the first 90 days of employment.

All electrical appliances must be used only in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. For appliances with heating elements, such as laminators, hot glue guns, bottle warmers, crock pots, irons, coffee pots, or curling irons, neither the appliance nor any cord may be accessible to preschool-age children. Laminators may be used when children are not present.

The laminator was unplugged, and moved to locked storage during the visit. 4. The facility must obtain, from each parent, legal guardian, or full-time custodian a statement that attests that a copy of the center's written discipline policies was given to and discussed with him or her.

Ensure the enrollment date of each child enrolled is documented on page with the signature of receipt of the discipline policy and placed in the child’s file.

I suggested you review all enrollment information obtained to ensure all required information is completed and on file prior to the child’s first day of care. 5.

The medical action plan is to be completed by the child's parent or a health care professional and may include the following: a list of the child's diagnosis or diagnoses including dietary, environmental, and activity considerations that are applicable; contact information for the child's health care professional(s); medications to be administered on a scheduled basis; and medications to be administered on an emergency basis with symptoms, and instructions. The medical action plan must be updated when changes to the plan are made by the child's parent or health care professional, or at least annually. I suggested you review children’s files and medical action plans regularly to ensure no forms, including the medical action plans, have expired. I also suggested you review all medical action plans with any staff member assigned to a classroom which has a child with special healthcare needs enrolled. 6. Standing permission to administer medications for chronic illnesses may be given for up to six (6) months. A new Permission to Administer Medication for Chronic Medical Conditions form must be completed by the child’s guardian at least every six (6) months.
