Name of Operation: All My Children Child Care Center III Facility ID: 96000650 Consultant: BECKY JACKSON Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 6/18/2025 Number Present: 14 Completed Date: 6/18/2025 Age: From 0 To 4 Total Minutes: 180 Time In: 10:00 AM Time Out: 01:00 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Temp Time Period Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of my unannounced visit today was to monitor your center for meeting applicable child care requirements during your Temporary License period. This is the third temporary time period visit for this facility. This facility is currently operating on a Temporary License effective from January 9, 2025 to July 9, 2025. Tameka Johnson, Child Care Consultant assisted with part of today’s visit. E. Muhammad, Administrator was not present when we arrived. The owner representative was present therefore the visit was conducted with her. Four classrooms are operating with 19 children enrolled and 14 children present. During today’s visit both the indoor and outdoor learning environments were monitored. The staff files were reviewed. A sampling of children’s files were also reviewed. The most recent fire drill was conducted on June 3, 2025 at 10:20am. The log reflected it took 3 minutes and 20 seconds to evacuate 15 children and 5 staff. The last outdoor inspection was completed on June 2, 2025. The most recent lockdown drill was conducted on June 5, 2025 at 10:30am. The most recent Sanitation inspection was conducted on March 17, 2025 with a Superior classification and 4 demerits. The children were observed engaged in free play, having snack, conducting routines (toileting and hand washing) and playing outdoors. The infants in care were observed playing with materials on the floor. The lunch being prepared today consisted of pizza, carrots, peaches, and milk. The following violations were documented today: Violation Number Comment Rule 125 Daily records of arrival and departure times for children at the center were not maintained as children arrive and depart and/or were not made available for review. In Space # 1 the time of departure for June 17, 2025 had not been listed for three children. 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(4) 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference. The activity plan for the group in Space #4 was dated June 2, 2025 to June 13, 2025. The plan for the group in Space #6 was not dated. GS 110-91(12); .0508(a) All violations must be corrected immediately. Please send me a compliance letter (written statement) describing how and when the above violations were corrected. The compliance letter must be received no later than July 2, 2025. The compliance letter should be sent to me via email, from the email address on file with the Division as the center’s official email address. Contact me if you have questions regarding correction of the violations documented during today’s visit. If you are unable to correct all violations within the specified timeframe, send a compliance letter regarding violations that were corrected and a specific plan to correct the remaining violations. An extension will need to be requested from management. Child care licensing requirements were established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your type of program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all the applicable laws and rules at all times. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules. I explained that you have access to the on-line version of the Child Care Rule Book, as well as a hard copy of the rules. I recommended that you visit the Division of Child Development's website (www.ncchildcare.nc.gov) on a regular basis to find out what's new in childcare. You could also find any needed Child Care forms by going on the web site and clicking on the "Provider" tab and then clicking on the "Provider Documents" tab. Technical Assistance and Consultation: The activity plans must be current and must reflect the use of Foundations as well as any other curriculum being used. If the goals from Foundations are not listed on the activity plans, the staff should be prepared to explain how they use this tool in their activity planning. The plans should have the dates listed to ensure they are current. The time of arrival and departure must be noted each day for each child. Parents may complete the information, however staff should ensure it has been completed. I encourage you to have staff complete the document rather than parents to ensure it is being completed and is accurate. The fall zones for all stationary equipment should be kept free of grass and weeds. The surfacing material should be fluffed to ensure it remains resilient. All equipment that is too heavy for one person to easily move is considered stationary. The trike-go-rounds also must have surfacing, or must be removed from the outdoor play area. The edges of the trike path may become tripping hazards over time. I encouraged you to either maintain the dirt so it is level with the edges of the path or paint the inner and outer edges of the path to ensure visibility and prevent hazards. Keys should not be stored in the locks or doorknobs. This is not considered to be locked storage. There were no hazards present in these areas today, however staff should not get in the habit of storing the keys inside the locks. They should be removed and placed out of the reach of children. RATED LICENSE: A rated license application has been provided for you. If you are interested in applying for a Two through Five Star Rated License at the end of the temporary license, please return this form to me no later than June 30, 2025. Failure to submit the application form will result in a One Star License being issued at the end of the temporary time period. We discussed that we do not have time for a valid Environment Rating Scale Assessment to be conducted before the end of the temporary time period. We also discussed that one lead teacher does not currently have the North Carolina Early Childhood Administration Credential. You stated you were in the process of hiring a lead teacher for this group. We also discussed that two staff members do not have status letters. I asked that they check on the processing of their information though the WORKS system. Child Care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. ANNUAL COMPLIANCE VISIT: Your center will be due for an annual compliance visit prior to January 9, 2026. Additional visits may be conducted by the Child Care Consultant prior to that date. I encouraged you to keep an up to date staff and training worksheet available for any monitoring visit that may be conducted. You will need to submit this document to your consultant in preparation for your annual compliance visit. You will need to have an annual fire inspection by December 4, 2025. It is your responsibility to contact the local fire inspector to request this inspection. An annual sanitation inspection will be due by March 17, 2026, however more frequent visits may be conducted. The sanitation and fire inspections must be submitted to your consultant within 7 days. I also reminded you that the water must be tested for lead every three years. ON-GOING TRAINING: Training hours will be monitored for compliance during your annual compliance visit. Training hours are required to be recorded on the on-going training log with certificates attached to the log for verification. HEALTH & SAFETY TRAINING: All staff must complete Health & Safety training topics within one year of hire. CPR/First Aid and Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment are due within the first 90 days of hire. After initial completion all topic areas must be completed every five years. A training log is available on the DCDEE website. This training information will be reviewed by a DCDEE consultant during a monitoring visit. Annually you must review the EPR plan online and print the review form for your records. You must review the EPR plan and the EMC plan with all staff on an annual basis. I recommend doing this at the same time everyone completes an annual health questionnaire and emergency information. This would also be a good time to do annual staff evaluations and staff development plans. Annual Licensing Fee: Pursuant to GS 110-90(1a) the Division establishes an annual fee for licensed child care facilities. The invoices for the fees are assessed based on your licensed capacity and mailed after the 1st of November every year. You will only receive one invoice and payment is due in FULL within 30 days. Please closely monitor your mail and be on the lookout for your invoice. Please don’t delay making your payment and be aware that Payment Plans are NOT available. In addition, please be aware that failure to pay a license fee within 30 days of receipt will result in late charges. If payments are made late and late charges are applied, the fee as well as the late charge must be resolved. Please be reminded that, failure to pay a license fee could also result in the facility's child care license being revoked. Provider Portal for ABCMS (the criminal records check database): 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 (household members in a Family Child Care Home) within five business days. Previously, written notification such as the “Change of Information” form was used, however the process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. Once you receive your Star Rated License, 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 already completed the 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 with the portal or the training, please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401and someone will assist you. GENERAL INFORMATION: If you have any changes to your phone number, email or mailing address, please update me so I can make changes in our computer system. This information is what DCDEE uses on the Search for Childcare site, it is also the only way DCDEE communities with you. Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your type of program. I encourage you to review DCDEE training modules, and to check your email for any additional information or updates. You will need to have an NCID which is the same NCID that you use for Health and Safety training, WORKS login, and the CBC Portal- to view Moodle training. For the most up to date information, copies of sample forms, and copies of the child care requirements, updates to rules/laws you were encouraged to periodically visit the Division's website and click on the What’s New tab at www.ncchildcare.nc.gov. Once you have been issued your star rated license, your file will be transferred to your assigned childcare consultant. I will email you with their contact information when this occurs. A follow up visit may be conducted in the near future to verify compliance with violations documented during the visit.

This is the third temporary time period visit for this facility. This facility is currently operating on a Temporary License effective from January 9, 2025 to July 9, 2025. Tameka Johnson, Child Care Consultant assisted with part of today’s visit. E. Muhammad, Administrator was not present when we arrived. The owner representative was present therefore the visit was conducted with her. Four classrooms are operating with 19 children enrolled and 14 children present. During today’s visit both the indoor and outdoor learning environments were monitored. The staff files were reviewed. A sampling of children’s files were also reviewed. The most recent fire drill was conducted on June 3, 2025 at 10:20am. The log reflected it took 3 minutes and 20 seconds to evacuate 15 children and 5 staff. The last outdoor inspection was completed on June 2, 2025. The most recent lockdown drill was conducted on June 5, 2025 at 10:30am. The most recent Sanitation inspection was conducted on March 17, 2025 with a Superior classification and 4 demerits. The children were observed engaged in free play, having snack, conducting routines (toileting and hand washing) and playing outdoors. The infants in care were observed playing with materials on the floor. The lunch being prepared today consisted of pizza, carrots, peaches, and milk. The following violations were documented today: Violation Number Comment Rule 125 Daily records of arrival and departure times for children at the center were not maintained as children arrive and depart and/or were not made available for review. In Space # 1 the time of departure for June 17, 2025 had not been listed for three children. 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(4) 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference. The activity plan for the group in Space #4 was dated June 2, 2025 to June 13, 2025. The plan for the group in Space #6 was not dated. GS 110-91(12); .0508(a) All violations must be corrected immediately. Please send me a compliance letter (written statement) describing how and when the above violations were corrected. The compliance letter must be received no later than July 2, 2025. The compliance letter should be sent to me via email, from the email address on file with the Division as the center’s official email address. Contact me if you have questions regarding correction of the violations documented during today’s visit. If you are unable to correct all violations within the specified timeframe, send a compliance letter regarding violations that were corrected and a specific plan to correct the remaining violations. An extension will need to be requested from management. Child care licensing requirements were established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your type of program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all the applicable laws and rules at all times. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules. I explained that you have access to the on-line version of the Child Care Rule Book, as well as a hard copy of the rules. I recommended that you visit the Division of Child Development's website (www.ncchildcare.nc.gov) on a regular basis to find out what's new in childcare. You could also find any needed Child Care forms by going on the web site and clicking on the "Provider" tab and then clicking on the "Provider Documents" tab. Technical Assistance and Consultation: The activity plans must be current and must reflect the use of Foundations as well as any other curriculum being used. If the goals from Foundations are not listed on the activity plans, the staff should be prepared to explain how they use this tool in their activity planning. The plans should have the dates listed to ensure they are current. The time of arrival and departure must be noted each day for each child. Parents may complete the information, however staff should ensure it has been completed. I encourage you to have staff complete the document rather than parents to ensure it is being completed and is accurate. The fall zones for all stationary equipment should be kept free of grass and weeds. The surfacing material should be fluffed to ensure it remains resilient. All equipment that is too heavy for one person to easily move is considered stationary. The trike-go-rounds also must have surfacing, or must be removed from the outdoor play area. The edges of the trike path may become tripping hazards over time. I encouraged you to either maintain the dirt so it is level with the edges of the path or paint the inner and outer edges of the path to ensure visibility and prevent hazards. Keys should not be stored in the locks or doorknobs. This is not considered to be locked storage. There were no hazards present in these areas today, however staff should not get in the habit of storing the keys inside the locks. They should be removed and placed out of the reach of children. RATED LICENSE: A rated license application has been provided for you. If you are interested in applying for a Two through Five Star Rated License at the end of the temporary license, please return this form to me no later than June 30, 2025. Failure to submit the application form will result in a One Star License being issued at the end of the temporary time period. We discussed that we do not have time for a valid Environment Rating Scale Assessment to be conducted before the end of the temporary time period. We also discussed that one lead teacher does not currently have the North Carolina Early Childhood Administration Credential. You stated you were in the process of hiring a lead teacher for this group. We also discussed that two staff members do not have status letters. I asked that they check on the processing of their information though the WORKS system. Child Care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. ANNUAL COMPLIANCE VISIT: Your center will be due for an annual compliance visit prior to January 9, 2026. Additional visits may be conducted by the Child Care Consultant prior to that date. I encouraged you to keep an up to date staff and training worksheet available for any monitoring visit that may be conducted. You will need to submit this document to your consultant in preparation for your annual compliance visit. You will need to have an annual fire inspection by December 4, 2025. It is your responsibility to contact the local fire inspector to request this inspection. An annual sanitation inspection will be due by March 17, 2026, however more frequent visits may be conducted. The sanitation and fire inspections must be submitted to your consultant within 7 days. I also reminded you that the water must be tested for lead every three years. ON-GOING TRAINING: Training hours will be monitored for compliance during your annual compliance visit. Training hours are required to be recorded on the on-going training log with certificates attached to the log for verification. HEALTH & SAFETY TRAINING: All staff must complete Health & Safety training topics within one year of hire. CPR/First Aid and Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment are due within the first 90 days of hire. After initial completion all topic areas must be completed every five years. A training log is available on the DCDEE website. This training information will be reviewed by a DCDEE consultant during a monitoring visit. Annually you must review the EPR plan online and print the review form for your records. You must review the EPR plan and the EMC plan with all staff on an annual basis. I recommend doing this at the same time everyone completes an annual health questionnaire and emergency information. This would also be a good time to do annual staff evaluations and staff development plans. Annual Licensing Fee: Pursuant to GS 110-90(1a) the Division establishes an annual fee for licensed child care facilities. The invoices for the fees are assessed based on your licensed capacity and mailed after the 1st of November every year. You will only receive one invoice and payment is due in FULL within 30 days. Please closely monitor your mail and be on the lookout for your invoice. Please don’t delay making your payment and be aware that Payment Plans are NOT available. In addition, please be aware that failure to pay a license fee within 30 days of receipt will result in late charges. If payments are made late and late charges are applied, the fee as well as the late charge must be resolved. Please be reminded that, failure to pay a license fee could also result in the facility's child care license being revoked. Provider Portal for ABCMS (the criminal records check database): 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 (household members in a Family Child Care Home) within five business days. Previously, written notification such as the “Change of Information” form was used, however the process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. Once you receive your Star Rated License, 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 already completed the 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 with the portal or the training, please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401and someone will assist you. GENERAL INFORMATION: If you have any changes to your phone number, email or mailing address, please update me so I can make changes in our computer system. This information is what DCDEE uses on the Search for Childcare site, it is also the only way DCDEE communities with you. Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your type of program. I encourage you to review DCDEE training modules, and to check your email for any additional information or updates. You will need to have an NCID which is the same NCID that you use for Health and Safety training, WORKS login, and the CBC Portal- to view Moodle training. For the most up to date information, copies of sample forms, and copies of the child care requirements, updates to rules/laws you were encouraged to periodically visit the Division's website and click on the What’s New tab at www.ncchildcare.nc.gov. Once you have been issued your star rated license, your file will be transferred to your assigned childcare consultant. I will email you with their contact information when this occurs. A follow up visit may be conducted in the near future to verify compliance with violations documented during the visit. Please contact me at (910) 824-0123 or at becky.jackson@dhhs.nc.gov if I can be of assistance.

If payments are made late and late charges are applied, the fee as well as the late charge must be resolved. Please be reminded that, failure to pay a license fee could also result in the facility's child care license being revoked. Provider Portal for ABCMS (the criminal records check database): 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 (household members in a Family Child Care Home) within five business days. Previously, written notification such as the “Change of Information” form was used, however the process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. Once you receive your Star Rated License, 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 already completed the 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.

Name of Operation: All My Children Child Care Center III Facility ID: 96000650 Consultant: BECKY JACKSON Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 6/18/2025 Number Present: 14 Completed Date: 6/18/2025 Age: From 0 To 4 Total Minutes: 180 Time In: 10:00 AM Time Out: 01:00 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Temp Time Period Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of my unannounced visit today was to monitor your center for meeting applicable child care requirements during your Temporary License period. This is the third temporary time period visit for this facility. This facility is currently operating on a Temporary License effective from January 9, 2025 to July 9, 2025. Tameka Johnson, Child Care Consultant assisted with part of today’s visit. E. Muhammad, Administrator was not present when we arrived. The owner representative was present therefore the visit was conducted with her. Four classrooms are operating with 19 children enrolled and 14 children present. During today’s visit both the indoor and outdoor learning environments were monitored. The staff files were reviewed. A sampling of children’s files were also reviewed. The most recent fire drill was conducted on June 3, 2025 at 10:20am. The log reflected it took 3 minutes and 20 seconds to evacuate 15 children and 5 staff. The last outdoor inspection was completed on June 2, 2025. The most recent lockdown drill was conducted on June 5, 2025 at 10:30am. The most recent Sanitation inspection was conducted on March 17, 2025 with a Superior classification and 4 demerits. The children were observed engaged in free play, having snack, conducting routines (toileting and hand washing) and playing outdoors. The infants in care were observed playing with materials on the floor. The lunch being prepared today consisted of pizza, carrots, peaches, and milk. The following violations were documented today: Violation Number Comment Rule 125 Daily records of arrival and departure times for children at the center were not maintained as children arrive and depart and/or were not made available for review. In Space # 1 the time of departure for June 17, 2025 had not been listed for three children. 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(4) 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference. The activity plan for the group in Space #4 was dated June 2, 2025 to June 13, 2025. The plan for the group in Space #6 was not dated. GS 110-91(12); .0508(a) All violations must be corrected immediately. Please send me a compliance letter (written statement) describing how and when the above violations were corrected. The compliance letter must be received no later than July 2, 2025. The compliance letter should be sent to me via email, from the email address on file with the Division as the center’s official email address. Contact me if you have questions regarding correction of the violations documented during today’s visit. If you are unable to correct all violations within the specified timeframe, send a compliance letter regarding violations that were corrected and a specific plan to correct the remaining violations. An extension will need to be requested from management. Child care licensing requirements were established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your type of program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all the applicable laws and rules at all times. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules. I explained that you have access to the on-line version of the Child Care Rule Book, as well as a hard copy of the rules. I recommended that you visit the Division of Child Development's website (www.ncchildcare.nc.gov) on a regular basis to find out what's new in childcare. You could also find any needed Child Care forms by going on the web site and clicking on the "Provider" tab and then clicking on the "Provider Documents" tab. Technical Assistance and Consultation: The activity plans must be current and must reflect the use of Foundations as well as any other curriculum being used. If the goals from Foundations are not listed on the activity plans, the staff should be prepared to explain how they use this tool in their activity planning. The plans should have the dates listed to ensure they are current. The time of arrival and departure must be noted each day for each child. Parents may complete the information, however staff should ensure it has been completed. I encourage you to have staff complete the document rather than parents to ensure it is being completed and is accurate. The fall zones for all stationary equipment should be kept free of grass and weeds. The surfacing material should be fluffed to ensure it remains resilient. All equipment that is too heavy for one person to easily move is considered stationary. The trike-go-rounds also must have surfacing, or must be removed from the outdoor play area. The edges of the trike path may become tripping hazards over time. I encouraged you to either maintain the dirt so it is level with the edges of the path or paint the inner and outer edges of the path to ensure visibility and prevent hazards. Keys should not be stored in the locks or doorknobs. This is not considered to be locked storage. There were no hazards present in these areas today, however staff should not get in the habit of storing the keys inside the locks. They should be removed and placed out of the reach of children. RATED LICENSE: A rated license application has been provided for you. If you are interested in applying for a Two through Five Star Rated License at the end of the temporary license, please return this form to me no later than June 30, 2025. Failure to submit the application form will result in a One Star License being issued at the end of the temporary time period. We discussed that we do not have time for a valid Environment Rating Scale Assessment to be conducted before the end of the temporary time period. We also discussed that one lead teacher does not currently have the North Carolina Early Childhood Administration Credential. You stated you were in the process of hiring a lead teacher for this group. We also discussed that two staff members do not have status letters. I asked that they check on the processing of their information though the WORKS system. Child Care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. ANNUAL COMPLIANCE VISIT: Your center will be due for an annual compliance visit prior to January 9, 2026. Additional visits may be conducted by the Child Care Consultant prior to that date. I encouraged you to keep an up to date staff and training worksheet available for any monitoring visit that may be conducted. You will need to submit this document to your consultant in preparation for your annual compliance visit. You will need to have an annual fire inspection by December 4, 2025. It is your responsibility to contact the local fire inspector to request this inspection. An annual sanitation inspection will be due by March 17, 2026, however more frequent visits may be conducted. The sanitation and fire inspections must be submitted to your consultant within 7 days. I also reminded you that the water must be tested for lead every three years. ON-GOING TRAINING: Training hours will be monitored for compliance during your annual compliance visit. Training hours are required to be recorded on the on-going training log with certificates attached to the log for verification. HEALTH & SAFETY TRAINING: All staff must complete Health & Safety training topics within one year of hire. CPR/First Aid and Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment are due within the first 90 days of hire. After initial completion all topic areas must be completed every five years. A training log is available on the DCDEE website. This training information will be reviewed by a DCDEE consultant during a monitoring visit. Annually you must review the EPR plan online and print the review form for your records. You must review the EPR plan and the EMC plan with all staff on an annual basis. I recommend doing this at the same time everyone completes an annual health questionnaire and emergency information. This would also be a good time to do annual staff evaluations and staff development plans. Annual Licensing Fee: Pursuant to GS 110-90(1a) the Division establishes an annual fee for licensed child care facilities. The invoices for the fees are assessed based on your licensed capacity and mailed after the 1st of November every year. You will only receive one invoice and payment is due in FULL within 30 days. Please closely monitor your mail and be on the lookout for your invoice. Please don’t delay making your payment and be aware that Payment Plans are NOT available. In addition, please be aware that failure to pay a license fee within 30 days of receipt will result in late charges. If payments are made late and late charges are applied, the fee as well as the late charge must be resolved. Please be reminded that, failure to pay a license fee could also result in the facility's child care license being revoked. Provider Portal for ABCMS (the criminal records check database): 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 (household members in a Family Child Care Home) within five business days.

Fourteen children were present today. The administrator was not on site and was unable to assist with the visit. The staff member in charge was identified upon my arrival and was notified of the purpose of the visit. The Administrator was reached by phone, and the exit conference was conducted with her via phone and with the staff member in charge in person. All approved indoor spaces were monitored today. Children throughout the facility were napping. The infants and children one year of age in care were observed in bouncy seats and on the floor interacting with the caregivers. The afternoon snack being prepared consisted of tropical fruit, vanilla wafers, and apple juice. No new staff have been hired since the most recent monitoring visit. Therefore staff files were not monitored today. The most recent fire drill was completed on May 5, 2025, at 9:12 am. The log reflected that it took 3 and one-half minutes for 15 children and 5 adults to exit the building safely. The most recent shelter-in-place drill was conducted on March 21, 2025, at 11:10am. The most recent outdoor inspection was completed May 1, 2025. The most recent sanitation inspection occurred on March 17, 2025, with a superior classification and four demerits.

You could also find any needed Child Care forms by going on the web site and clicking on the "Provider" tab and then clicking on the "Provider Documents" tab. Upon my arrival I observed that the door from the lobby to the classroom areas was locked. No one was present at the desk or in the office for assistance. I rang the provided doorbell three times with no answer. I entered the office to access the classroom area after the third doorbell was not answered. I observed that the two staff members present were being counted in staff/child ratio and were unable to answer the door without leaving children unsupervised. The staff member in charge stated two staff members were on break. I reminded you that access must be provided at all times for both inspectors as well as parents. I highly encouraged you to review the procedures for ensuring access is provided at all times. Reminders and Technical Assistance The rules regarding the naptime exception for staff/child ratio were reviewed today. For groups of children two years of age and older, one person may remain the room, while the other staff member is on call. In order to be on call the staff member must be within a natural calling distance without the use of cell phones, walkie-talkies, or other devices. They may not be outside the building in order to be considered on call. Each staff member may be on call for only one group at a time. Activity plans must be developed using North Carolina Foundations for Early Care and Learning. I encouraged you to use the codes provided in foundations on your activity plan documents to demonstrate use of this tool. Otherwise, staff will need to be able to explain how the tool is used to develop the plan. Sand and water, science and nature, and music and movement activities must be provided for all groups of children ages three and older at least once per week. RATED LICENSE: Today we again discussed the two-component rated license process. The Application for Assessment for a Two Component Star Rated License was provided today. I asked that you return the form as soon as possible. We reviewed that staff education must be submitted to WORKS and evaluated before I can determine how many points the facility will earn in Education Standards. If staff are hired and their education is not evaluated via WORKS, I cannot determine points for Education for that person and this can affect the points earned for this facility in the Education Standards component of the Rated License. You can access the WORKS portal and information pertaining to WORKS via DCDEE’s website and click on the “Services” tab, the “DCDEE WORKS”. There are tutorials available to assist a person with creating their WORKS account. The quality point form was also provided today. All points for the Rated License will be determined during the final temporary time period visit. A third and final temporary time period visit will be conducted in the near future. The visit will be unannounced. A follow up visit may be conducted in the near future to verify compliance with violations documented during the visit. Please contact me at (910) 824-0123 or at becky.jackson@dhhs.nc.gov if I can be of assistance.

Name of Operation: All My Children Child Care Center III Facility ID: 96000650 Consultant: BECKY JACKSON Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 3/20/2025 Number Present: 7 Completed Date: 3/20/2025 Age: From 0 To 4 Total Minutes: 165 Time In: 09:45 AM Time Out: 12:30 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Temp Time Period Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today's unannounced visit was to monitor compliance with applicable child care requirements for the facility’s first temporary time period visit. The facility’s Temporary License was issued January 9, 2025 and is valid through July 9, 2025. Restrictions on the permit include a first shift capacity of 146 children ages 0 to 12 years old. E. Muhammad, Administrator was not present when I arrived. One of the lead teachers identified herself as the person in charge and reached Ms. Muhammad by phone. She arrived and assisted with today’s visit. Three classrooms are operating with 9 children enrolled and 7 children present. During today’s visit, infants were observed being held by the caregiver and playing on the floor. The remaining groups were observed having engaged in free play activities and creating art projects. There are currently no school age children enrolled. Lunch today consisted of taco salad with creamed potatoes, mixed fruit, and milk. According to the North Carolina Secretary of State website, your corporation All My Children Family Resource Center is current and active. Your last fire drill was completed February 27, 2025 at 9:10am. The log reflected it took two minutes and thirty seconds to evacuate 3 children and 4 adults. The last outdoor inspection was completed March 10, 2025. The most recent sanitation inspection was conducted on March 17, 2025 with a Superior classification and 4 demerits. The most recent fire inspection was conducted December 4, 2024. I monitored your classroom environments, outdoor playgrounds, a sampling of staff and children's records and required center records. I used the North Carolina Child Care Requirements and Compliance Listing as basic monitoring tools during the visit. Your classrooms have a variety of developmentally appropriate learning materials and equipment and the activity centers are well arranged. The license was posted along with the NC Summary of the Law and safe arrival and departure procedures. The emergency medical care plan and emergency telephone numbers were also posted. Activity plans and daily schedules were posted. No concerns with supervision were observed during the visit. Three children’s records were reviewed today and were in compliance. Six staff files were also reviewed today. Using a checklist helps verify information on file and easily identifies missing information. The following violations of child care requirements were observed today: Violation Number Comment Rule 1032 Child care providers and uncompensated providers who are not substitute providers or volunteers, including the director did not have a medical report on file prior to employment that was signed by a health care professional and/ or the medical report was older than 12 months. The medical report on file for one staff member was older than 12 months at the time of employment. 10A NCAC 09 .0701(a) 1301 Center did not maintain a record of daily attendance. The attendance on the roster in Space #4 had not been recorded since March 17, 2025. GS 110-91(9) All violations must be corrected immediately. Please send me a compliance letter (written statement) describing how and when the above violations were corrected. The compliance letter must be received no later than April 3, 2025. The compliance letter should be sent to me via email, from the email address on file with the Division as the center’s official email address. Contact me if you have questions regarding correction of the violations documented during today’s visit. If you are unable to correct all violations within the specified timeframe, send a compliance letter regarding violations that were corrected and a specific plan to correct the remaining violations. An extension will need to be requested from management. The information required in a compliance letter was reviewed. You should list the item number, specifically stating that the violation has been corrected, explaining when it was corrected, and how it was corrected. You should also explain that you understand the rule regarding the violation. You are also encouraged to state how you will prevent noncompliance in the future. Compliance is not considered finalized until all violations have been corrected. Therefore, if the compliance letter says an item will be corrected, it should be followed-up with another letter once it actually has been corrected. As an example, compliance verification such as “Mulch will be delivered on Tuesday” is not considered corrected until it is followed up with a letter stating something like “The mulch was delivered on Tuesday, September 5, 2024, and now measures nine inches in the full fall zone.” Please let me know if you have any questions regarding how to complete a compliance letter. If you will be unable to correct all violations within the allowed timeframe, you should request an extension. We discussed that you are the Administrator for both this facility and another facility in another county owned by the same legal entity. We discussed your schedule to ensure that the on-site hour requirements are being met. You stated that you rotate mornings and afternoons at each center. I reminded you that these hours are based on the licensed capacity, not the current enrollment. This location has a capacity of 146 children, therefore the administrator must be on-site at least 30 hours per week. Technical Assistance and Consultation: You should ensure that all experience and education is clearly documented in the staff files. Experience should be documented on the application or attached resume. Additional pages of the application may be used to capture all relevant work experience. Education should be documented with WORKS status letters or copies of certificates. I reminded you that this documentation will be essential for future rated license assessments. It was noted today that you have taken the Emergency Preparedness And Response in Child Care training. Therefore, you have four months from the date the center was licensed to create the Emergency Preparedness and Response plan in the Emergency Management Portal for this location. You must also begin to conduct shelter-in-place or lockdown drills every three months. I encouraged you to have the Emergency Plan and the Ready-to-Go file easily accessible for monitoring during the next visit. We discussed that the staff files must be separated into a medical file and a personnel file. The staff medical, TB test, and health questionnaires must be kept in the medical file which must be kept separate from the personnel file. Various ways to organize these files were discussed. When new staff are hired, they may bring in Health and Safety training they have completed within the last year only. Trainings that were completed more than a year before hire are not accepted. New staff have 90 days to complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicion of Child Maltreatment and CPR/First Aid certifications. They must complete the remainder of the Health and Safety trainings within one year of employment. If staff are moved from center to center with the same legal owner, they are not considered new hires, and may bring their historical information with them. CPR and First Aid certification cards should be on file for all staff who have obtained these certifications. The training certificate only verifies the staff member attended the training, not that the certification was achieved. We discussed the “Be A Smart Consumer of CPR and First Aid Training” document available on the DCDEE website. I encouraged you to review this document when accepting training documentation to ensure the appropriate courses are being taken. You stated today that you are using a computer software program to record the children’s arrival and departure times. I encouraged you to use a paper record of these times for clarity if needed during evacuation. I reiterated that staff may record this information. We discussed the staff/child ratio postings in the classrooms. I asked that you ensure the information is filled in completely and correctly reflects the group in that classroom. The age of the youngest child, the applicable ratio, and the maximum number allowed by group size or by room capacity should be listed across the top. The box with the applicable ratio should be clearly marked. RATED LICENSE: Today we discussed the rated license process. You stated you planned to apply for a Two though Five Star Rated License at the end of the temporary time period. I provided you with an application packet today. You stated you were unsure if you would be requesting an Environment Rating Scale assessment as part of this application. I notified you that you would need to decide no later than the third month of the temporary time period in order to have the assessment conducted before the temporary expires. I encouraged you to ensure all staff have requested evaluations for their positions using the WORKS system. I asked that you submit the rated license application as soon as possible. The Importance of Providing Quality Child Care Providing quality child care is essential for children. There is ample research demonstrating that high-quality child-care experiences have many benefits to children and society and that quality child care is linked to children’s improved school performance. 1. The Cost, Quality and Child Outcomes in Child Care Centers Study and a follow-up study done several years later found that quality child care is primarily related to higher staff/child ratios, administrators’ prior experience, wages, higher staff education levels and staff members’ continued participation in formal and specialized training. This study found that children attending higher quality centers scored better in math and language skills, had more positive interactions with peers, and had fewer behavior problems. 2. The High/Scope Perry Preschool Study followed children from their preschool years through age 40 and found that high-quality preschool programs significantly increased children’s future contributions through increased intellectual and social development, school success, economic performance, and reduced commission of crimes in adulthood. One of the most quoted results of this study is that for every dollar invested in children’s early care and education there is a $17 return to society in terms of crime and education savings, increased taxes collected, and welfare savings. There are many other studies including the Abecedarian Project, the Arnett Caregiver Interaction Study, and the NC Rated License Assessment Project. What the research tells us, in a nutshell, is that high quality child care has a positive impact on children’s later school success. The key to quality experiences for children is interaction with and stimulation from educated, trained teachers. The neuroscience associated with brain research is complicated, but its lesson is simple: babies' brains develop at astonishing rates in the first few years after birth. Young children have a tremendous capacity to learn from the moment they are born, but optimal development hinges on the experiences provided for them by the adults who take care of them. Child Care Rules were revised November 1, 2024, and a new rule book was posted to the DCDEE website. You should discard any old versions of the rules and ensure you are referring to the most current rule book when reviewing or researching requirements.

The facility’s Temporary License was issued January 9, 2025 and is valid through July 9, 2025. Restrictions on the permit include a first shift capacity of 146 children ages 0 to 12 years old. E. Muhammad, Administrator was not present when I arrived. One of the lead teachers identified herself as the person in charge and reached Ms. Muhammad by phone. She arrived and assisted with today’s visit. Three classrooms are operating with 9 children enrolled and 7 children present. During today’s visit, infants were observed being held by the caregiver and playing on the floor. The remaining groups were observed having engaged in free play activities and creating art projects. There are currently no school age children enrolled. Lunch today consisted of taco salad with creamed potatoes, mixed fruit, and milk. According to the North Carolina Secretary of State website, your corporation All My Children Family Resource Center is current and active. Your last fire drill was completed February 27, 2025 at 9:10am. The log reflected it took two minutes and thirty seconds to evacuate 3 children and 4 adults. The last outdoor inspection was completed March 10, 2025. The most recent sanitation inspection was conducted on March 17, 2025 with a Superior classification and 4 demerits. The most recent fire inspection was conducted December 4, 2024. I monitored your classroom environments, outdoor playgrounds, a sampling of staff and children's records and required center records. I used the North Carolina Child Care Requirements and Compliance Listing as basic monitoring tools during the visit. Your classrooms have a variety of developmentally appropriate learning materials and equipment and the activity centers are well arranged. The license was posted along with the NC Summary of the Law and safe arrival and departure procedures. The emergency medical care plan and emergency telephone numbers were also posted. Activity plans and daily schedules were posted. No concerns with supervision were observed during the visit. Three children’s records were reviewed today and were in compliance. Six staff files were also reviewed today. Using a checklist helps verify information on file and easily identifies missing information. The following violations of child care requirements were observed today: Violation Number Comment Rule 1032 Child care providers and uncompensated providers who are not substitute providers or volunteers, including the director did not have a medical report on file prior to employment that was signed by a health care professional and/ or the medical report was older than 12 months. The medical report on file for one staff member was older than 12 months at the time of employment. 10A NCAC 09 .0701(a) 1301 Center did not maintain a record of daily attendance. The attendance on the roster in Space #4 had not been recorded since March 17, 2025. GS 110-91(9) All violations must be corrected immediately. Please send me a compliance letter (written statement) describing how and when the above violations were corrected. The compliance letter must be received no later than April 3, 2025. The compliance letter should be sent to me via email, from the email address on file with the Division as the center’s official email address. Contact me if you have questions regarding correction of the violations documented during today’s visit. If you are unable to correct all violations within the specified timeframe, send a compliance letter regarding violations that were corrected and a specific plan to correct the remaining violations. An extension will need to be requested from management. The information required in a compliance letter was reviewed. You should list the item number, specifically stating that the violation has been corrected, explaining when it was corrected, and how it was corrected. You should also explain that you understand the rule regarding the violation. You are also encouraged to state how you will prevent noncompliance in the future. Compliance is not considered finalized until all violations have been corrected. Therefore, if the compliance letter says an item will be corrected, it should be followed-up with another letter once it actually has been corrected. As an example, compliance verification such as “Mulch will be delivered on Tuesday” is not considered corrected until it is followed up with a letter stating something like “The mulch was delivered on Tuesday, September 5, 2024, and now measures nine inches in the full fall zone.” Please let me know if you have any questions regarding how to complete a compliance letter. If you will be unable to correct all violations within the allowed timeframe, you should request an extension. We discussed that you are the Administrator for both this facility and another facility in another county owned by the same legal entity. We discussed your schedule to ensure that the on-site hour requirements are being met. You stated that you rotate mornings and afternoons at each center. I reminded you that these hours are based on the licensed capacity, not the current enrollment. This location has a capacity of 146 children, therefore the administrator must be on-site at least 30 hours per week. Technical Assistance and Consultation: You should ensure that all experience and education is clearly documented in the staff files. Experience should be documented on the application or attached resume. Additional pages of the application may be used to capture all relevant work experience. Education should be documented with WORKS status letters or copies of certificates. I reminded you that this documentation will be essential for future rated license assessments. It was noted today that you have taken the Emergency Preparedness And Response in Child Care training. Therefore, you have four months from the date the center was licensed to create the Emergency Preparedness and Response plan in the Emergency Management Portal for this location. You must also begin to conduct shelter-in-place or lockdown drills every three months. I encouraged you to have the Emergency Plan and the Ready-to-Go file easily accessible for monitoring during the next visit. We discussed that the staff files must be separated into a medical file and a personnel file. The staff medical, TB test, and health questionnaires must be kept in the medical file which must be kept separate from the personnel file. Various ways to organize these files were discussed. When new staff are hired, they may bring in Health and Safety training they have completed within the last year only. Trainings that were completed more than a year before hire are not accepted. New staff have 90 days to complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicion of Child Maltreatment and CPR/First Aid certifications. They must complete the remainder of the Health and Safety trainings within one year of employment. If staff are moved from center to center with the same legal owner, they are not considered new hires, and may bring their historical information with them. CPR and First Aid certification cards should be on file for all staff who have obtained these certifications. The training certificate only verifies the staff member attended the training, not that the certification was achieved. We discussed the “Be A Smart Consumer of CPR and First Aid Training” document available on the DCDEE website. I encouraged you to review this document when accepting training documentation to ensure the appropriate courses are being taken. You stated today that you are using a computer software program to record the children’s arrival and departure times. I encouraged you to use a paper record of these times for clarity if needed during evacuation. I reiterated that staff may record this information. We discussed the staff/child ratio postings in the classrooms. I asked that you ensure the information is filled in completely and correctly reflects the group in that classroom. The age of the youngest child, the applicable ratio, and the maximum number allowed by group size or by room capacity should be listed across the top. The box with the applicable ratio should be clearly marked. RATED LICENSE: Today we discussed the rated license process. You stated you planned to apply for a Two though Five Star Rated License at the end of the temporary time period. I provided you with an application packet today. You stated you were unsure if you would be requesting an Environment Rating Scale assessment as part of this application. I notified you that you would need to decide no later than the third month of the temporary time period in order to have the assessment conducted before the temporary expires. I encouraged you to ensure all staff have requested evaluations for their positions using the WORKS system. I asked that you submit the rated license application as soon as possible. The Importance of Providing Quality Child Care Providing quality child care is essential for children. There is ample research demonstrating that high-quality child-care experiences have many benefits to children and society and that quality child care is linked to children’s improved school performance. 1. The Cost, Quality and Child Outcomes in Child Care Centers Study and a follow-up study done several years later found that quality child care is primarily related to higher staff/child ratios, administrators’ prior experience, wages, higher staff education levels and staff members’ continued participation in formal and specialized training. This study found that children attending higher quality centers scored better in math and language skills, had more positive interactions with peers, and had fewer behavior problems. 2. The High/Scope Perry Preschool Study followed children from their preschool years through age 40 and found that high-quality preschool programs significantly increased children’s future contributions through increased intellectual and social development, school success, economic performance, and reduced commission of crimes in adulthood. One of the most quoted results of this study is that for every dollar invested in children’s early care and education there is a $17 return to society in terms of crime and education savings, increased taxes collected, and welfare savings. There are many other studies including the Abecedarian Project, the Arnett Caregiver Interaction Study, and the NC Rated License Assessment Project. What the research tells us, in a nutshell, is that high quality child care has a positive impact on children’s later school success. The key to quality experiences for children is interaction with and stimulation from educated, trained teachers. The neuroscience associated with brain research is complicated, but its lesson is simple: babies' brains develop at astonishing rates in the first few years after birth. Young children have a tremendous capacity to learn from the moment they are born, but optimal development hinges on the experiences provided for them by the adults who take care of them. Child Care Rules were revised November 1, 2024, and a new rule book was posted to the DCDEE website. You should discard any old versions of the rules and ensure you are referring to the most current rule book when reviewing or researching requirements. A follow up visit may be conducted in the near future to verify compliance with violations documented during the visit. Please contact me at (910) 824-0123 or at becky.jackson@dhhs.nc.gov if I can be of assistance. If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000).
