Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit: • Inspecting playgrounds in family child care homes is crucial for preventing injuries, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, and maintaining the overall health and well-being of children. Inspections identify hazards like loose parts, broken equipment, or tripping hazards before they cause accidents, and ensure surfaces have adequate cushioning to reduce impact from falls. Keeping infants safe with regular checks in child care is critical to prevent sleep-related deaths, such as SIDS and suffocation. Consistent monitoring allows caregivers to ensure the sleeping environment remains safe, that infants are on their backs, and that they are not overheating. Checks also provide a quick response if an infant shows signs of distress or an issue arises with the sleep space, which is vital because many sleep-related deaths occur in the first year of life. Additional Information/Consultation: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. • The Health and Safety Trainings are offered on the DCDEE Moodle format.

Soon you will begin 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.

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 on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: I discussed with Mrs. Harris the importance of making sure all paperwork has been received from the parent/guardian within the required timeframe. I went over each form and Mrs. Harris stated that she would make sure to get this information updated and current in the one child's file. *Annual in-service training hours are due by 12/17/25. I would recommend that you complete your training three months prior to the above date. *Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR)-Again the provider has not completed this training as of yet but once completed you must be complete the template within four months of receiving the training (please read below): 10A NCAC 09 .1714 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE (b) Existing family child care home operators (operator or operators) shall complete the Emergency Preparedness and Response in Child Care training. Within one year of the effective date of a new license, the operator of a new family child care home shall have completed the Emergency Preparedness and Response in Child Care training. When the trained staff member leaves employment, the family child care home shall ensure that another staff member completes the required training within four months of the vacancy.

(c) Upon completion of the Emergency Preparedness and Response in Child Care training, the operator shall develop the Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan. The Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan means a written plan that addresses how a child care facility will respond to both natural and man-made disasters, such as fire, tornado, flood, power failures, chemical spills, bomb threats, earthquakes, blizzards, nuclear disaster, or a dangerous person in the vicinity, to ensure the safety and protection of the children and additional caregivers. This plan shall be on a template provided by the Division available at https://rmp.nc.gov/portal/# completed within four months of completion of the Emergency Preparedness and Response in Child Care training, and available for review RATED LICENSE INFORMATION: I discussed with Mrs. Harris the rated license process. I informed Mrs. Harris of the Environmental Rating Scale Assessment, and the provider stated that she will be interested in having this completed. I did review the Rated License Request Form with Mrs. Harris during today's visit and we reviewed it. I will email this form to Mrs. Harris and she will initial and sign and email back to me by the end of March. I did discuss the FCCERS-R book with Mrs. Harris and informed her that she would need to get this book to assist her in preparing for the assessment. Lastly, I informed her to begin working on her reflective self-study (this was emailed). I informed her I would need this by the first week in April.
