During today's visit we discussed the following items: 10A NCAC 09 .1724 SAFE SLEEP PRACTICES Each operator licensed to care for infants aged 12 months or younger shall develop, adopt, and comply with a written safe sleep policy that: (1) specifies that the operator shall place infants aged 12 months or younger on their backs for sleeping, unless: for an infant aged six months or less, the operator receives a written waiver of this requirement from a health care professional; or for an infant older than six months, the operator receives a written waiver of this requirement from a health care professional, or a parent or a legal guardian; (7) specifies the operator shall visually check sleeping infants aged 12 months or younger at least every 15 minutes; (8) specifies how the operator shall document compliance with visually checking on sleeping infants aged 12 months or younger; There was an alternative sleep waiver in the infant's file, however, I observed the infant being placed on her back while in the pack and play. I reminded you that a doctor's note is required for alternative sleep positions for children under 6 months of age. I also reminded you that, based on your safe sleep policy, infants should be visually checked every 15 minutes while sleeping and the checks should be documented. The documentation should be kept for at least 30 days. ABCMS Provider Portal 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. Access to the Provider Portal is granted by CBC Unit staff after providers have completed the required Moodle training and submit the signed Powerform available at the conclusion of the training. Additional information and instructions are available in the ABCMS Provider Portal Guide. Once the training has been completed and you have been notified that access has been granted, log into the provider portal to locate the unique provider code for the facility. Applicants and employees will use this code to create a connecting application to be associated with your facility. 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. Please complete the process for your facility as soon as possible. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. Thank you for your time today. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000). All information in this report has been reviewed with me today.I understand that it is my responsibility to maintaincompliance with applicable NC Child Care Requirements at all times
