I also monitored compliance with requirements located in Child Care Rule Section .3000 regarding NC Pre-Kindergarten in Space #101. No children were enrolled in Space #102 during the visit, and no children enrolled were currently receiving developmental day services. I confirmed the facility was not receiving developmental day funding at this time. You, Tamela Jones, Lead Teacher, assisted with today’s visit. The NC Pre-K Program Site Monitoring Tool was reviewed today. Staff-child ratios and maximum group sizes required in Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .3009 were verified in compliance. A checklist was used to note the requirements I monitored today. Your program currently operates with a five (5) star license issued September 3, 2024. The permit restrictions were in compliance including First Shift (daytime care), meets enhanced ratios, meets enhanced space, and meets enhanced ratios minus one in each group, certified developmental day. The Secretary of State website was checked on November 17, 2025, and your business, Gaston County Schools, was not listed. If any changes to the corporation need to be made or you decide to sell your business, then you must notify me at least thirty days prior to any changes occurring. The license cannot be bought, sold, subleased, transferred to another person or location, or inherited. A walk-through of the facility was completed today, and all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in the indoor and outdoor learning environment. Children throughout the facility were participating in outdoor play, routines, lunch, nap and free play during the visit. The last sanitation inspection was conducted on December 19, 2024. A “superior” classification was issued with two (2) demerits noted on the grade card. The last approved fire inspection documented on the Adult Day Care and Child Care Fire Inspection Report Form was conducted on October 23, 2024. A fire inspection was conducted of the elementary school on September 25, 2025; however, items were marked “no” that failed inspection. The last fire drill was conducted on November 12, 2025. The last emergency drill documented was conducted on October 23, 2025. The last playground inspection was conducted on November 3, 2025. You received the results of your most recent lead water testing showing no levels of lead above the allowed amount, on April 26, 2024. Per the facility data on the Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids website, your facility has not completed lead-based paint or asbestos testing. I reviewed the ABCMS Provider portal during the visit and all current staff members were not entered. 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. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Please remove any staff members who are no longer employed and add all current staff members to your provider portal immediately. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. Two (2) children’s files were reviewed during the visit.

Please send your letter to christine.rosinski@dhhs.nc.gov. 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 96%. 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. A monthly playground inspection must be conducted by an individual trained in playground safety requirements. A trained administrator or staff person must make a record of each inspection using a playground inspection checklist provided by the Division. The checklist is to be signed by the person who conducts the inspection and must be maintained for 12 months in the center's files for review by a representative of the Division. Continue to use the playground inspection checklist which may be found online at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/providers/credent.asp. You stated the facility conducts the playground inspections at the end of each month; however, school was not in session the end of November 2024. I suggested you plan to conduct the playground inspections on the same day fire drills are conducted to ensure a month does not get skipped. After completion of the inspection and documentation on the checklist, I suggested that you immediately place the inspection checklist in your licensing notebook to ensure it is on file and available for review at all times. Consultation: Hold harmless has been extended until the new QRIS system is implemented. Programs still have the option to choose to voluntarily complete the star rated license reassessment if they so desire.
