Name of Operation: WEBB STREET SCHOOL Facility ID: 36000511 Consultant: CHRISTINE ROSINSKI Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 12/1/2025 Number Present: 26 Completed Date: 12/1/2025 Age: From 5 To 12 Total Minutes: 271 Time In: 09:19 AM Time Out: 01:50 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Annual Comp Full Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced annual compliance visit was to monitor your compliance with all applicable child care requirements, including health and safety requirements and requirements located in Child Care Rule Section .2900 regarding certified developmental day programs. You, Courtney Williams, Administrator, assisted with today’s visit. Staff-child ratios and maximum group sizes required in Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2902 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 August 8, 2024. The permit restrictions were in compliance including First Shift (daytime care), meets enhanced ratios, meets enhanced space, enhanced ratios minus one, and certified developmental day. The Secretary of State website was checked on December 1, 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 learning environment. Children throughout the facility were participating in routines, nap, and teacher-led instruction during the visit. The last sanitation inspection was conducted on September 16, 2025. A “superior” classification was issued with two (2) demerits noted on the grade card. The last fire inspection was conducted on September 4, 2025. The last fire drill was conducted on November 15, 2025. The last emergency drill was conducted on October 30, 2025. The last playground inspection was conducted on December 1, 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. Please log into your Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids account and complete the steps for submitting documents or testing for lead-based paint and asbestos. Three (3) children’s files were reviewed during the visit. Two (2) new staff files and one (1) existing staff file were reviewed during the visit. The ABCMS Provider Portal was unable to be accessed during the visit. 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. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. I provided you with the ABCMS Technical Assistance Information Document via email during the visit. The following violations were observed/documented during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 1048 All staff did not successfully complete certification in First Aid appropriate to the age of children in care. Verification of staff completion of First Aid training from an approved training organization was not in the staff file.

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/resource-hub/recognizing-responding-to-child-maltreatment/. 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 provided you with a copy of the Health and Safety Training Record via email during the visit. This form can be found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab.

I suggested you review this information with potential hires during the interview process to ensure a qualifying letter is obtained prior to their first day of employment. I suggested you review staff files regularly to ensure all staff members who are employed in the licensed program have a valid qualifying letter on file. I also suggested you remind staff two months prior to expiration of qualifying letter to complete request for an updated letter to ensure letters are updated and on file prior to their expiration.

You, Courtney Williams, Principal, assisted with today’s visit. The school was closed for the summer and no children were present during the visit. Your program currently operates with a five (5) star license issued August 8, 2024. The permit restrictions were in compliance including First Shift (daytime care), meets enhanced ratios, meets enhanced space, enhanced ratios minus one, and certified developmental day. The Secretary of State website was checked on May 28, 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. You submitted a compliance letter to me on May 27, 2025, indicating two violations (Item #859 and Item #1811) as corrected. Item #1044 and Item #1757, could not be marked as corrected as two (2) staff members, still employed at the facility, did not complete the process of a five-year recheck for a criminal background check. I confirmed that one (1) staff member, Lisa Bradley, was no longer employed at the facility. I contacted the DCDEE Criminal Background Check Unit and spoke with Kamisha Boatwright. I confirmed with Ms. Boatwright that Kirsy Echeverria had contacted the Criminal Background Check Unit on May 20, 2025, and spoke with Ms. Boatwright to attempt to complete the criminal background check process. Ms. Boatwright stated at that time, she advised Ms. Echeverria of the steps she would need to complete so that the Criminal Background Check Unit could process the name change; however, the information had not yet been submitted by Ms. Echeverria. Ms. Echeverria stated she had attempted to make the changes as advised, and was waiting for the notification that the name change had occurred; however, she never received notification from the Criminal Background Check Unit. Ms. Echeverria attempted to log into her account while speaking with Ms. Boatwright; however, she could not access the account. Ms. Boatwright assisted Ms. Echeverria to attempt additional ways to access her account. Ms. Echeverria was able to log into her account at that time. Errors were found regarding Ms. Echeverria’s addresses/previous addresses, which were corrected. Once these changes were made, Ms. Echeverria was able to complete the application for the criminal background check. Ms. Boatwright completed the name change process and confirmed Ms. Echeverria could access the fingerprint form. I assisted Ms. Echeverria in accessing the fingerprint form and printed the form for her. Ms. Boatwright confirmed that the next step was for Ms. Echeverria to go to the Sheriff’s Office to complete fingerprinting. Ms. Boatwright stated that once fingerprinting was completed and the Sheriff’s Office submitted the prints, the Criminal Background Check Unit would complete the criminal background check and upload the new qualifying letter into Ms. Echeverria’s ABCMS Portal. You contacted Stephania Meeks via phone during the visit and confirmed that Ms. Meeks had completed the name change process through the Criminal Background Check Unit. Ms. Meeks confirmed she had obtained her fingerprint form and that the name on the form was correct.

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 provided by DCDEE. This checklist may also be accessed through the following link: https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Portals/0/documents/pdf/P/Playground_Inspection_Checklist.pdf?ver=CxfeyCmo15O0_ztbu2--ng%3d%3d. 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, I suggested you immediately complete the documentation of the check on the checklist, and place the inspection checklist in your playground inspection notebook to ensure it is on file and available for review at all times. 2. All staff members must obtain a new criminal background check and qualifying letter once every five (5) years. I suggested you remind staff two months prior to expiration of qualifying letter to complete request for an updated letter to ensure letters are updated and on file prior to their expiration.

I suggested you review staff files regularly to ensure all staff members have a valid qualifying letter on file. 4. Shelter-in-Place or Lockdown drills must be completed at least once every three (3) months.

I suggested you document the drill immediately after the drill is conducted on the drill log form found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab to ensure required documentation is on file and available for review. You confirmed you have a copy of this form. Consultation 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. Hold harmless has been extended until the new QRIS system is implemented.

Prior to today's visit, your program maintained a compliance history of 92%. 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 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 may be stored five (5) feet off the ground. Have staff check their classroom thoroughly each morning to ensure all hazardous products are stored properly. Locked storage rooms and cabinets include those which are unlocked with a combination lock, electronic or magnetic device, keypad, key, or equivalent locking device. You placed all hazardous products in locked storage during the visit. I suggested you provide keys to staff members to classroom cabinets to ensure all cabinets used to store hazardous products may be kept locked at all times. 2. 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. You unplugged and removed the surge protector and plugged items into each outlet to ensure they were covered during the visit. I suggested you keep extra outlet covers in the classroom to ensure outlets and power strips are kept covered at all times when not in use. 3. 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 each staff member complete an emergency information form upon employment and at the beginning of each school year to ensure the forms are updated at least annually. All staff members without an emergency information form on file completed an emergency information form during the visit and placed a copy of the form in their licensing binders. 4. 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/resource-hub/recognizing-responding-to-child-maltreatment/. 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. This form can be found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab. Consultation: 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. Hold harmless has been extended until the new QRIS system is implemented.

The Secretary of State website was checked on April 30, 2024, 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, 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, group time, and free play during today’s visit. Limited monitoring of staff files was conducted for the purpose of reviewing training regarding CPR/First Aid, EPR, Playground Safety, ITS-SIDS, Special Training, and Criminal Background Checks. No new staff members were hired since the last visit. The most recent sanitation inspection for your facility was conducted on February 7, 2024. A superior sanitation classification was issued with two (2) demerits. The most recent approved fire inspection for your facility was conducted on September 5, 2023. The following violations were observed/documented during today’s visit: 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.

Prior to today's visit, your program maintained a compliance history of 97%. 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 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 may be stored five (5) feet off the ground. Have staff check their classroom thoroughly each morning to ensure all hazardous products are stored properly. All hazardous products were placed in locked closets in classrooms during the visit. You and staff members present stated all hazardous products will be kept in locked closets, which are located in each classroom. 2. Medications including prescription and non-prescription items must be stored in a locked cabinet or other locked container and may not be stored above food. Designated emergency medications may be stored out of reach of children (at least five feet from the ground), but are not required to be in locked storage. Non-prescription diaper creams and sunscreen may be kept out of reach of children when not in use (at least five feet from the ground), but are not required to be in locked storage. I suggested you review these requirements with all staff members to ensure medications are properly stored. Teachers must keep any personal medications they bring into the facility in locked storage as well. I suggested you have staff keep any of their personal medication in the same locked storage areas as the children’s medications to ensure it is stored properly. The cough drops were placed in a locked closet during the visit. Consultation The hold harmless legislation was extended and signed into law on Monday June 12th, 2023. This legislation allows facilities to remain at their current star level without a reassessment until June 30, 2024, and when reassessed it reduces the education evaluation requirements for lead teachers from 75% to 50% until June of 2026. To prepare for the reassessment process, DCDEE has developed a cohort system. There are three cohorts, and each include a preparation year and a reassessment year. While the first reassessment year will not begin until July 1, 2024, the preparation year for cohort one begins July 1, 2023. Your facility is in cohort one. Beginning in July and throughout the next few months I recommend you consider completing the following tasks and activities that will help prepare you for your reassessment year, which will be sometime between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025. If possible, we will align the reassessment with your annual compliance visit timeframe. • Have all staff update WORKS accounts to reflect all currently completed coursework (DCDEE-WORKS) • Determine whether you wish to have Environment Rating Scale (ERS) Assessments [ITERS-R, ECERS-R, SACERS-U, FCCERS-R] conducted • Request technical assistance with your child care consultant and local partners • Participate in local CCR&R and NCPC quality related training/workshops (CCRR Information) • Reach out to your local Community College to discuss educational opportunities • Review NCRLAP website ERS resources (www.NCRLAP.org). To help review ERS requirements and think carefully about the current characteristics and practices in your program and classrooms, check out the Thinking More worksheets. A worksheet is available for each subscale of each rating scale. • Family child care home providers consider the FCCERS-R self-study process and timeline for completion since it must occur over a 3-month time period prior to your rated license reassessment • Consider requesting an ERS assessment (free of charge) during the preparation year. Remember the scores can be used in a variety of ways o ERS assessments can be requested during the preparation year and scores can be used as guidance to enhance program quality o If desired, assessment scores can be used during the preparation year if the operator wants to move forward with a rated license reassessment o Assessment scores can be saved to use during the reassessment year o Facilities can request another ERS assessment (free of charge) in your reassessment year for any ERS assessment scoring less than a 5.0 For the latest information on child care rules and regulations, please visit the Division of Child Development and Early Education's website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ .

I suggested you have staff complete all DCDEE Forms during teacher workdays at the beginning of each school year to ensure all required documentation is on file. The staff member without an emergency information form on file completed the emergency information form and placed it on file during today’s visit. 2. All staff members must complete the process for a criminal background check and have a valid qualifying letter on file prior to employment. Review staff files regularly to ensure all staff members have a valid qualifying letter on file. I suggested you remind staff two months prior to expiration of qualifying letter to complete request for an updated letter to ensure letters are updated and on file prior to their expiration. Staff members should not be permitted to begin work in the licensed program until a qualifying letter from DCDEE is obtained and on file. Two (2) staff members without valid qualifying letters on file were removed from the licensed space during the visit and two (2) additional staff members from the school, both with valid qualifying letters, were placed in Space #1 as substitutes during the visit.

The emergency information must be updated as changes occur and at least annually. I suggested you have staff complete all DCDEE Forms during teacher workdays at the beginning of each school year to ensure all required documentation is on file. The staff member without an emergency information form on file completed the emergency information form and placed it on file during today’s visit. 2. All staff members must complete the process for a criminal background check and have a valid qualifying letter on file prior to employment.

Staff members should not be permitted to begin work in the licensed program until a qualifying letter from DCDEE is obtained and on file. Two (2) staff members without valid qualifying letters on file were removed from the licensed space during the visit and two (2) additional staff members from the school, both with valid qualifying letters, were placed in Space #1 as substitutes during the visit. As a reminder, the two (2) staff members who did not have valid qualifying letters during the visit, may not return to licensed space while children are present until they complete the process of a criminal background check, and have a valid qualifying letter on file. 3. All staff members must complete all Health and Safety Trainings within the first year of hire and every five (5) years thereafter. These trainings can be found on the DCDEE Moodle Training site. I suggested you set a calendar reminder to ensure trainings for new staff members are completed in a timely manner. 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. This form can be found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab. Please remind staff to read all instructions within the Health and Safety Trainings on Moodle to ensure all required courses are completed, including the medications in child care training.
