I observed two items of non-compliance of childcare rules during the visit today. Violation Number Comment Rule 1879 Prescribed medicines, that are pharmaceutical samples, was not stored in the manufacturers original packaging, was not labeled with the child's name, and/or written instructions did not include the required information. All medications are to have the correct form completed, and the child's name on the medication. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(2)(b)(i-v) 1897 The child care administrator and all staff did not complete the Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. Not all staff have completed the Child Maltreatment training. This training is to be completed every 5 years. .1102(g) In order to maintain compliance with North Carolina child care laws and rules, the above violations must be corrected immediately. Please send me a correction letter by email stating how the violations were corrected and how you plan to maintain compliance in the future. It must be submitted to me by September 3, 2024. Include the following information in your correction letter: 1. Facility Name 2. Facility ID 3. Date of the letter 4. The violation number, the date the violation was corrected, information regarding how the violation was corrected and how you plan to maintain compliance with the item number in the future. TA for Medications: A suggestion for maintaining compliance with childcare rules pertaining to medications is monthly check all medications, action plans forms, permission forms, and expiration dates on the medications. Best practice - all medications should come to the office first to be checked for required information and that the forms are completed correctly. Check the medication expiration date and that the medication is for the correct child. Prescribed medications (1) shall be stored in the original containers in which they were dispensed with the pharmacy labels. (2) the child's name. (3) the name of the medication. (4) the amount and frequency of dosage. (5) the name of the prescribing physician or other health professional. (6) the date the medication was prescribed by the physician or other health professional. (7) shall be administered only to the child for whom they were prescribed; and (8) shall be administered according to the prescription, using amount and frequency of dosage specified on the label. A parent/guardian may give a caregiver standing authorization for up to six months to administer prescription or over-the-counter medication (as in Benadryl or fever reducer) to a child, when needed, for chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, and for allergic reactions. Fever reducer may have a standing authorization for children that have a history of febrile seizures. The authorization shall be in writing and shall contain: (1) the child's name. (2) the subject medical conditions or allergic reactions. (3) the names of the authorized over-the-counter medications. (4) the criteria for the administration of the medication. (5) the amount and frequency of the dosages. (6) the manner in which the medication shall be administered. (7) the signature of the parent. (8) the date the authorization was signed by the parent; and (9) the length of time the authorization is valid, if less than six months When a prescribed medication is given staff must complete the medication administration log. Make sure all prescribed medications are in the original container or have the prescription label directly on the medication, as in the Epi Pen. A picture of a label will work until the parent can get a box or label from the pharmacy. • OTC medications as in sunscreen, ChapStick, diaper creams, toothpaste are to have annual permission form completed by parent/guardian. • Emergency prescribed medications as in Inhalers, Epi Pens, Seizure medications are to have a completed Medical Action Plan, these plans must be signed by the medical provider and the parent/guardian. These are to be completed annually. The Prescription Medication Permission completed by the parent/guardian must be completed and signed every six months. Also, print the log along with permission form for staff to document when the medication is given. Best practice is not giving over-the-counter cold medications to any child. Child cannot have a standing permission for pain relievers for teething or other ailments. Staff are to be mindful of how they speak to children and their tone. During the after lunch quiet time school age children are to be given books, or other quiet activities. If a school age child wants to nap that is acceptable, but children are not required to sleep or stay on a mat. If school age children request a mat, the mat must be long enough for the child. Hold Harmless has been extended until the new QRIS is implemented. This means that you do not need to schedule an assessment of your rated license during your cohort year.
