(10A NCAC 09 .2318 and .1721) TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS: During today’s visit we discussed in length transportation requirements. Transporting children in childcare is a huge responsibility, high risk activity and must be taken seriously. Transporting children requires careful planning and proactive, protective measures to ensure the safety of children and staff. Any time children are transported there is the potential for problems to occur. Careful planning reduces the risk of harm or injury to children and reduces liability for childcare operators and their programs. When transporting, times when each child boards and departs the vehicle must be recorded on the attendance log. It is necessary for the safety of children to require that the caregiver/teacher comply with requirements governing the transportation of children in care, in the absence of the parent/guardian. Each child transported must have emergency contact information on file along with a photograph of each child. This is helpful in identifying children in the event of an emergency/accident. Staff are required to maintain accurate attendance and record the time all children are picked up and dropped off. Specific attendance times should be recorded for each child that boards the vehicle and for each child that departs the vehicle. Ms. Hillian and I discussed in detail how to document arrival and departure times for the children. All vehicles must be free of hazards to include potentially hazardous products. The same requirements for products inside the facility apply to the vehicles used to transport children. The vehicles should be cleaned out, organized, and prepared to transport children on the vehicle. Additional Reminders: --Children under the age of 3 may not be transported for off premise activities. --Parents must give written permission for each field trip. --You must post a schedule of off premise activities in each participating classrooms, a copy must be given to parents. --Children may never be left unattended on the vehicle. --A list of all children participating in field trips must be left at the center. --Travel Log/attendance record for field trips must be maintained (for one year) --Staff safety training requirements (current CPR/First Aid). -- Each child being transported must have identifying information, including the child's name, photograph, emergency contact information, and a copy of the emergency medical care. -- First Aid kit and fire extinguisher must be located in each vehicle used to transport children. The First Aid kit and fire extinguisher shall be mounted or secured if kept in the passenger compartment. --You must follow all state and local driving laws. **For a complete explanation of these rules please refer to the Child Care requirements section .1003 & .1005.

During today’s visit I made you aware of the importance of always having access to all staff and children’s records. ***All required records must be available for review by a representative of the Division. Please refer to your Child Care Handbook and Child Care Requirements for a complete rule listing. (10A NCAC 09 .2318 and .1721) TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS: During today’s visit we discussed in length transportation requirements. Transporting children in childcare is a huge responsibility, high risk activity and must be taken seriously. Transporting children requires careful planning and proactive, protective measures to ensure the safety of children and staff. Any time children are transported there is the potential for problems to occur. Careful planning reduces the risk of harm or injury to children and reduces liability for childcare operators and their programs. When transporting, times when each child boards and departs the vehicle must be recorded on the attendance log. It is necessary for the safety of children to require that the caregiver/teacher comply with requirements governing the transportation of children in care, in the absence of the parent/guardian. Each child transported must have emergency contact information on file along with a photograph of each child. This is helpful in identifying children in the event of an emergency/accident. Staff are required to maintain accurate attendance and record the time all children are picked up and dropped off. Specific attendance times should be recorded for each child that boards the vehicle and for each child that departs the vehicle. Ms. Hillian and I discussed in detail how to document arrival and departure times for the children. All vehicles must be free of hazards to include potentially hazardous products. The same requirements for products inside the facility apply to the vehicles used to transport children. The vehicles should be cleaned out, organized, and prepared to transport children on the vehicle. Additional Reminders: --Children under the age of 3 may not be transported for off premise activities. --Parents must give written permission for each field trip. --You must post a schedule of off premise activities in each participating classrooms, a copy must be given to parents. --Children may never be left unattended on the vehicle. --A list of all children participating in field trips must be left at the center. --Travel Log/attendance record for field trips must be maintained (for one year) --Staff safety training requirements (current CPR/First Aid). -- Each child being transported must have identifying information, including the child's name, photograph, emergency contact information, and a copy of the emergency medical care. -- First Aid kit and fire extinguisher must be located in each vehicle used to transport children. The First Aid kit and fire extinguisher shall be mounted or secured if kept in the passenger compartment. --You must follow all state and local driving laws. **For a complete explanation of these rules please refer to the Child Care requirements section .1003 & .1005. RATED LICENSE UPDATE: The Governor signed Senate Bill 425 (now Session Law 2024-34), Health and Human Services Omnibus Bill, which includes the Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) Modifications recommended to the Legislature by the NC Child Care Commission to update QRIS and create additional pathways for licensed child care facilities to earn star rated licenses. Hold Harmless provisions have been extended and star rated license assessments for licensed child care providers will be conducted by provider request only, until the QRIS rulemaking process has been completed. Star rated license assessments are still required for new child care programs. UPDATED RULES: Effective January 1, 2024, we have new/updated rules posted on the DCDEE website.

The center operates Monday through Friday from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm. Currently there are only school-age children enrolled at this facility. The preschool children are temporarily located at another licensed location while the YMCA seeks to add additional classroom spaces to this facility. I arrived at the facility to investigate the allegations received in the complaint. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by the Program Coordinator, Alexis Hillian. I made you aware of the purpose of today’s visit. Ms. Hillian assisted me during today’s visit. The administrator, Mrs. Monica Moore was not present during today’s visit. I met with Ms. Hillian to discuss the allegations received in the complaint. Ms. Hillian admitted that the program has been dealing with a staffing shortage. Ms. Hillian stated that most of their group leaders were college students who returned home at the end of the college semester. She also stated that the program had tried to close the last two weeks of the Guilford County school year (due to staffing shortage) but the parents of the children enrolled got upset and complained that they would have no place to send their children if the program closed at such a short notice. Ms. Hillian admitted during the last two weeks of the school year there was a significant staff shortage, and the groups were not meeting the required staff/child ratios. Ms. Hillian was not aware of any incident or altercation between any children during the past two weeks. She stated that they had done their best to maintain supervision of the children and the children and staff are aware that the children cannot walk around the YMCA without direct supervision from a group leader. During today’s visit I reviewed the current enrollment of the children enrolled in the summer camp program. Attendance records and sign-in out sheets from the past 30 days were not available for review during today’s visit. During today’s visit I observed the children engaged in small group activities in their individual classroom spaces. I also observed the children as they transitioned from several areas in the licensed space. During today’s visit I was able to observe adequate supervision and staff/child ratios were observed in compliance. Ms. Hillian also stated within the next week that three additional staff members will begin working at the facility. Thirty seven (37) children were present during today's visit.

Staff child ratio requirements were not met as required for school age children during the last two weeks of school (May 28-June 7th). It was reported the program was short staffed and the groups were combined. GS 110-91(7);.0713(a-d) 1301 Center did not maintain a record of daily attendance. A record of the daily attendance for the children enrolled was not available for review . GS 110-91(9) Child Care facilities must maintain compliance with applicable childcare requirements at all times. In order to maintain compliance with North Carolina childcare laws and rules, the above violation must be corrected immediately. Please send a letter of compliance stating how the above violation was corrected and what you will do in the future to prevent this violation from being cited. Please email me this letter by June 25, 2024. A follow-up visit will be conducted to verify compliance with staff/child ratio requirements. Report Findings: Based on the information obtained during today’s visit the allegation regarding staff/child ratios was confirmed. Based on my observations during today’s visit and the information obtained during today’s investigation the allegations regarding supervision and care of the children could not be confirmed. I provided the following technical assistance in reference to staff/child ratio requirements: During today’s visit I reviewed with Ms. Hillian staff/child ratio requirements. I made Ms. Hillian aware that this program is meeting enhanced ratio and space requirements based on the current Five Star license. I referenced the staff/child ration chart that is posted in each classroom space. I made you aware that the youngest child in the group determines the ratio of the group. As I stated today if you have five-year-old children present your staff/child ratio is 1/15. Please keep in mind that the staff-to-child ratio is a measure of the number of children for whom each childcare provider is responsible. Ratio and group size are two factors that are critical to a child’s health, safety, and development. Ratios and group sizes help ensure that a child gets enough one-on-one attention from an adult who is available to take care of each child’s unique needs. This responsive caregiving is extremely important to a child’s social and emotional development, physical well-being, and overall learning. RECORD RETENTION: It is important for child care programs not only to keep good records, but also to know which ones to retain and for how long. We discussed the requirement of keeping these items for a minimum of at least 30 days to be viewed during any visit to the facility. Refer to Section .2318 Child Care Center Record Retention to keep required documents for the timeframe identified within the rule. I will also send you a document to assist you with remembering which records must be kept for 30 days and which records must be kept for at least a year for review. TRANSPORTATION: During today’s visit I also provided technical assistance iN reference to transportation and field trips. Ms. Hillian stated later in the summer the children will be transported to a few off-premise activities. Transporting children in childcare is a huge responsibility, and considered a high risk activity that must be taken seriously.
