Today, the following items were monitored: • Fire Safety I monitored for compliance with the violations found during the visit the November 21, 2025. The following violations were cited during today's visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 106 Operator has not scheduled and obtained a fire inspection within 12 months of the previous inspection. Operator did not submit the original approved report to DCDEE within one week of the inspection visit on a form provided by the Division. The last fire inspection was documented on September 20, 2024 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) Child Care programs are expected to always achieve and maintain compliance 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. You must correct the violations cited during today's visit immediately and send me documentation verifying compliance on or before January 21, 2026. The following information must be included in your signed and dated compliance letter: • the name of your center • facility ID number • date • title of the person who signs the letter • each violation number(s) • describes accurately and in detail how and when you corrected each violation If you state in your letter that corrections or changes have been made when they have not, it will be considered falsification of information and could lead to administrative action being taken by the DCDEE. You may email the letter to turkessha.casterlow@dhhs.nc.gov.

Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit: • Sending a compliance letter when correcting a childcare violation is crucial for documenting the fix, ensuring accountability, protecting children's safety, and preventing repeat issues by creating a formal record that the regulatory agency can verify, potentially averting more severe penalties like license suspension or revocation, and informing parents about program quality. • Annual fire inspections in childcare are crucial for protecting vulnerable children's lives by ensuring fire safety systems (alarms, extinguishers, sprinklers) are functional, emergency plans are effective, and the facility meets legal codes and regulations, catching hazards like blocked exits or faulty wiring before they cause tragedy. Since fires can start from common issues like cooking or electrical faults, regular checks prevent disasters, ensuring the facility is a safe "second home" for children. • I have not received your compliance letter that was due on December 22, 2025. It is important to remember to ask for extensions to ensure that you remain in compliance with correcting your violations. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was reviewed with and provided to you. Thank you for your time and assistance during the visit.

Additional Information/Consultation: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. • The process of notifying the Division of new employees 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 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 childcare providers working who were hired or moved into the childcare 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. • Preparing for North Carolina’s New QRIS System North Carolina’s Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) is being modernized to provide more flexible and equitable ways for programs to demonstrate quality. Beginning later this year, providers will be able to choose from three star-rating pathways: Program Assessment, Classroom & Instructional Quality Accreditation. This new approach allows programs to align their strengths with the pathway that best fits their operations. Now is the time to prepare. Programs should begin evaluating staff qualifications including updating staff education in NC Works, curriculum, and classroom interactions to determine the most suitable pathway. Updates to staff qualification standards and assessment tools are expected, and while current star ratings remain valid for now, all new ratings will be issued under the revised QRIS system. Your program’s quality should reflect not only compliance, but also a strong commitment to best practices, child development, and continuous improvement. Providers are encouraged to take advantage of available technical assistance and training opportunities. Please visit the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/, click on What’s New then select QRIS Modernization from the drop-down list. Review the Pathways and start thinking about which pathway you would like to choose to earn your 2-5 Star license. • I did not request your Staff and Training worksheets prior to my visit. Please submit your worksheets to me by December 2, 2025. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was reviewed with and provided to you.

The last annual compliance visit was conducted on 11/18/24. Currently this program operates with a four (4) star rated license issued 6/6/22. The facility earned four (4) points in staff education, six (6) points in program standards, and one (1) quality point for programmatic options met. The center owner Sheila Noble assisted me today. I conducted an assisted walk-through of the center. Children were observed playing in activity areas, eating lunch, resting, and routine care activities. The file for one new staff member was reviewed today. A partial assessment of applicable childcare requirements was conducted today. The following violation(s) were documented and technical assistance regarding maintaining compliance was offered. Violation Number Comment Rule 107 The center did not comply with the permit restrictions. Ms. Noble had a permanent wall completed and added solid doors separating space 3AB from space 4. These are now two separate rooms. The children in space 4 are one-year of age and the space does not have a direct exit. GS 110-91; GS 110-106 You were provided an opportunity to ask questions regarding interpretation and implementation of all childcare requirements. Each violation cited was discussed with Ms. Noble. The violation(s) documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance must be received on or 7/2/25. The letter must include the following: *Facility Name and ID number *List of each violation number *How each violation was corrected All items must be included, or the corrective action letter will be returned for corrections. CONSULTATION: All licensed childcare facilities are currently under the ‘Hold-Harmless’ state for their license from DCDEE. Once QRIS is implemented, you will receive information from DCDEE regarding the new pathways for licensure and your timeframe for completing your license renewal. The NCRLAP website, https://ncrlap.org, has trainings geared towards the new ECERS3 and ITERS3 assessment scales. These will introduce you to the updated assessment scale and provide tips for completing the new scale. The half-wall between spaces 3A/B and 4 has been made a solid wall and separate solid doors added. This is no longer a divided room, but now two separate spaces. Children under two and a half must be in a space with a direct exit to outside. You must contact the fire inspector and have him complete an inspection of the space. Currently one-year old children are in the space with no direct exit. You are required to have a building, fire, and sanitation inspection for the new construction. If fire does not approve or have recommendations for how to accommodate the one-year old children in their current space, environmental health can assist you in what you would need to do to move the children into space 2. Group leader R. Foster must complete CPR/FA and BSAC training by July 21, 2025. During lunch, I observed preschool children drinking chocolate milk. The center receives meals from the Alamance Burlington School System in the summer. I asked for the name and number of a contact person for this meal service. I spoke with Lisa Hutching today and explained chocolate milk does not meet the meal patterns for children in childcare. She stated she would send an email out and make sure all childcare centers were receiving white milk each day. You added play equipment in a separate grass, fence area and stated three-year old children are using that space. I measured that space today. The space will accommodate 24 children at 75 square feet per child and 18 children at 100 feet per child. A shelter-in-place or lockdown drill must be completed by June 30.
