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 and information regarding how the violation was corrected. I provided technical assistance regarding: Training: Health and Safety Training These trainings need to be completed in a staff member’s first year of employment and then every five years after. A. Cheek will need these by March 2027. The “recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment” needs to be completed within the first 90 days of employment. A. Cheek will need this before 6/9/26. It can be accessed at the following website https://positivechildhoodalliancenc.org/online-trainings/ A. Cheek will also need to complete orientation within her first 6 weeks of employment. EQUiPD: The EQUiPD website has many webinar trainings that can be completed online for no cost and have been approved by NCDCDEE. https://equipdinfo.weebly.com/pre-recorded-sessions.html Annual Paperwork: The Emergency Medical Care Plan needs to be updated any time there are changes and at least annually. Staff should complete their Emergency Information and Health Questionnaire on their first day of employment and then annually. A. Cheek had both these forms completed and on file. I showed J. Russell where these documents could be located on the NCDCDEE website (under Provider Documents and Forms). The Off-Site Record form needs to be completed annually for staff and children’s records. They are current for the 2025-26 school year. The Emergency Care and Response Plan (EPR) needs to be reviewed with staff the first day of employment and then annually after this. Keep a record of you this has been reviewed with and the date. The next review will need to be completed in August 2026. Groups and staffing: Ms. Russell stated that they currently had three groups with a total of 72 children enrolled. They currently have 2 permanent group leaders and a consistent TWTh sub. Because the MF subs vary, it would be beneficial to hire another permanent group leader. In addition, the three groups are almost completely at capacity. If more than 75 children enroll a new group must be created. Linking Criminal Background Checks – Staff need to log into the Criminal Background Check Portal on the DCDEE website and link to the facility license number. It is important to do this so staff at DCDEE can contact the center if a random criminal history check uncovers a staff member with a criminal charge or conviction working in a child care facility. It is also a way to for staff at the CBC Unit to keep you updated of the status of out-of-state checks if a new employee has a Provisional Qualification. Instructions on how to link to the facility was provided today. In the future, new staff need to link within five days of hire or transfer to your center. Review Criminal History Record Check Requirements for Child Care Centers in the NC Child Care Requirements 10A NCAC 09 .2703. The Pathways documentation form was completed and signed during the last visit. This facility will not have to go through the rated license assessment until 2027.

Consultation: I discussed with Ms. Fordham several staff members CPR/First Aid and criminal record rechecks, will expire by specific dates. Please refer to the staff/training worksheet for the expiration dates. Technical Assistance: During today’s visit, there was a medication that did not have an authorization for the medication. This medication belongs to a student that is no longer enrolled in the program. The medications were not returned to the parents. You must return the medication back to the parents within in 72 hours of the authorization expiration date or when the children are no longer enrolled in the program. We also discussed the action plan of a student. This student has an action plan that has some changes that need to be made. I discussed with Ms. Fordham what is the procedure that ACES has for medical action plan that changes from the original medical action plan. Ms. Fordham stated she was not sure. I contacted Ms. K. Weaver, program administrator and asked her what was their procedures when a child’s action plan has changed from the original action. Ms. Weaver stated she was not sure if they have a procedure for when the action plan changes and is no longer needed. I explained to Ms. Weaver and Ms. Fordham the importance of having a current medical plan in place for any child enrolled in their program. I informed Ms. Weaver and Ms. Fordham there needs to be a form for parents to sign communicating the withdrawal of the previous medical action plan and the child no longer needs the medication mentioned in the medical action plan during ACES. This will protect the ACES program in the event there is a medical incident during the operating hours of the ACES program. We also discussed the lost and found being in the space used by the ACEs program. The previous consultant cited a violation with items not in compliance. The area was not clean in an orderly manner. There with coats, shirts, water bottles, lunch boxes with moldy food and other items left by students. There were also wire clothes hangers and a broken rack where the clothes are held. The ends of the metal hangers and edge of that rack could be a hazard. I explained to Ms. Fordham there is not a child care rule stating that the lost and found could not be in the same space as ACES, however if the lost and found in in the same space then it will need to not have any hazardous items that would be harmful to the children. Rated License Assessment: I also discussed with Ms. Fordham the Rated license assessment process the hold harmless has been extended until the new QRIS is implemented. I informed Ms. Fordham that this does not apply to her since she has already had her rated license reassessment April 17,2024. This facility must maintain the education for a Four star rated license. Your new rated license reassessment will be due before April 17, 2027. An unannounced visit will occur soon due to the group size violation cited during today’s visit. Thank you for your time.

The last annual compliance visit was conducted 4/24/23. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Tiffany Fordham, Site Coordinator. I monitored program records, children and staff files while I waited for the children to arrive. Upon the children’s arrival I monitored the licensed spaces and noted attendance. There were 67 children present. Children were observed using the restroom, playing outside, and playing in centers. A sanitation inspection was conducted 2/28/24. A fire inspection was conducted 1/18/24. Fire and emergency drills were conducted and documented. Required documents were posted. There were three items of non-compliance observed during today’s visit, and three violations were cited.

There were also wire clothes hangers and a broken rack where the clothes are held. The ends of the metal hangers and edge of that rack could be a hazard. 10A NCAC 09 .0604(p) 899 The child care operator did not comply with all State laws, federal laws and/or local ordinances that pertain to child health, safety, and welfare, as required by General Statute 110-91.

Since the playground is used by all students, not just the ACES program, I discussed the need for the mulch to be moved back into place before playing on the climbing structure or children will not be able to play on the equipment. Children can play in other areas outside but there will also need to be items brought out for gross motor play such as balls, jump ropes (supervised) and other toys. There was enough mulch on the playground, but it needed to be moved to the fall zone areas under the climbing area of the play structure. Mulch also needs to be moved from under the slide and placed back into the fall zone at the bottom of the slide. I also monitored Space 133 for use as secondary space. There were several bookshelves in the space that can easily be pushed over by children. There were also cleaning wipes and EXPO cleaner in reach of children. This space is not approved for use by students enrolled during ACES hours unless the bookshelves are removed, and the cleaning wipes and cleaner must kept in a locked cabinet.
