The last fire inspection was conducted on February 26, 2026. This facility reopened on Monday March 2, 2025. Please complete a fire drill, playground inspection, and emergency drill by March 31, 2026. Staff files and children’s records were monitored per DCDEE procedures. Nutrition requirements were monitored per DCDEE procedures. The program does not provide transportation. The following violations were cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 9995 A violation was found for which there is no item number. An EpiPen is located at the facility for a child that does not have a completed permission to administer medication form. 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 March 19, 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 You may email the letter to turkessha.casterlow@dhhs.nc.gov. 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. Repeated violations, continued non-compliance, or failure to submit the compliance letter prior to the date given in this visit summary can also lead to administrative action being taken by the DCDEE. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit related to violations • Having written permission to administer an EpiPen is critical in child care to ensure immediate, lifesaving, and legally compliant care during anaphylactic emergencies when parents are unavailable. This documentation protects staff from liability, ensures the medication is given correctly, and guarantees that trained staff are prepared to act. Additional Information/Consultation: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. 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.
