In space #4, children engaged in indoor free play with dramatic play materials, blocks, and counting bears. The groups transitioned to outdoor play on stationary structures and ride on toys. A fire drill was completed during the visit. Files for new staff were reviewed. Fire and sanitation inspections remain current. The violations are as follows: Violation Number Comment Rule 805 Fire drills were not practiced monthly and/or the drill record was incomplete. Documentation of a fire drill was not on file for March 2026. .0604(t); .0302(d)(5) 859 Monthly playground inspections were not completed and/or they were not completed by an individual trained in playground safety requirements.

Mulch under the stationary rainbow climber measured one inch in depth. .0605(k)(1-4) Comments Section - Child care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before April 16, 2026, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance: Protective Surfacing- 60% of childhood injuries are caused by falls to the ground. Having protective surfacing under and around playground equipment can reduce the risk of serious injury. A new rainbow climber has been recently installed over a layer of mulch. I reminded you that equipment with a critical height of 5 feet or less shall have 6 inches of loose surface materials. You stated that there was more mulch, but the children have been playing in it and moving it to different areas of the playground. You reported that you will have the structure removed until you can get the proper containment boarder and surfacing. Submit photos of the correction with your compliance letter. Fire Drill- A fire drill was not recorded for March 2026. You stated that you forgot to do one. A fire drill was completed during the visit and recorded on the log. We discussed completing drills at various times of the month. During today’s visit you set a repeating digital reminder for the monthly fire drill. Having both written and digital reminders can be helpful for tracking and reminding you to complete the required drills. Playground Inspection- Proper maintenance is a key factor when trying to ensure a safe play environment for children. A playground inspection was not on file for March 2026. You stated you forgot to document it as you had completed the inspection on March 31, 2026. We discussed documenting the inspection when it happens. Take the form outside with you as you are doing the inspection and mark it as you go. Upon returning to the building, you can file it immediately to prevent it from becoming misplaced. Consultation: Pathways to the Stars-Today we reviewed your progress toward transitioning to a pathway. You reported that you are pursuing the Program Assessment pathway. You began your three-month self-study in January and have been working with the local QUEST consultant. Additionally, you stated you are considering an outreach assessment to better prepare. We reviewed the education standards. Remember the education level is determined by what is reflected on the DCDEE WORKS status letter. You have staff that do not have a WORKS account. Work with staff on creating an account and submitting the required documents for evaluation by May 1, 2026. Based on what you shared with me, there are staff that will need to complete CEUs or the competency evaluation to qualify for the desired star level. Begin working with staff to determine the course of action and assist them with getting started. The Continuous Quality Improvement Plan and Family and Community Engagement forms were reviewed during the visit. Individual Continuous Quality Improvement and Professional Development plans are still being developed. You plan to submit your Rated License Application by June 2026. Staff/Family Communication-Today you share with me that you are working on building better communication between staff and families and working together on children’s goals. We discussed ways to communicate, verbal or in writing, communication styles, and whys to share the goals you are working on with children. Consider having one-on-one conversations with families and training with staff. Or a combined training with both staff and families. ABCMS Provider Portal- You have completed the ABCMS Provider Portal training, but the process is not complete. Today, we discussed submitting the Power Form and gaining access to the portal and connecting all staff. You were able to submit the Power Form during the visit.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance: Staff Medical Report- Caregivers/teachers need to be physically and emotionally healthy to perform the tasks of providing care to children. A medical statement should be on file upon hire. Staff employed on 1/2/25 did not have a medical report on file. You stated the staff first came to the facility as a volunteer and you thought you had a copy on file. We discussed auditing files regularly to ensure the required documents are on file.

We discussed tracking tools such as a Google or Outlook calendar to ensure that trainings are obtained in a timely manner and do not expire before new certification is obtained. Handwashing- Transmission of many infectious diseases can be prevented through handwashing. Children must wash their hands upon arrival at the center, after each visit to the toilet, before eating, and before and after water play, after outside play, and/or after handling animals or animal cages.

Review the sanitation requirements with your staff. Consultation: Routines-Children tend to do better when they know what to expect and what is next. Today groups enrolled in spaces #2 and #4 were combined until the van arrived. You shared the groups usually separate early in the morning, prior to breakfast. Having children in their own classroom gives them a sense of ownership and pride. Review the children’s arrival times and staff schedules to see if adjustments need to be made to provide constancy for the children in care. Staff/Child Interactions- Having meaningful interactions with children help to build trusting relationships and improve social and emotional development. To encourage higher-order thinking, staff should spend time asking open-ended questions, having children share their thoughts, and encouraging them to express themselves. Visit NCRLAP.org for training and resources. The Language and Interactions for ECERS-3 and ITERS-3 trainings may be helpful resource for you and your staff. Orientation- Employee orientation is the process of introducing newly hired employees to their new workplace. It provides the basic organizational information employees need to feel prepared for their new role within the facility. Effective employee orientation makes employees aware of company policies and expectations, handles essential paperwork, and answers any questions or concerns they may have before they transition into their new positions. Orientation is important because it signifies the beginning of the relationship between employee and employer. Technical assistance was provided today based on the review of a new staff orientation documentation sheet. Thirty-one (31) hours of orientation was documented on 1/6/25. You stated that you have reviewed policies, procedures, and training with the staff over the course of two weeks, one topic may have been reviewed on multiple days, and on January 16, 2025, you did a review of everything and documented it all for that date. You reported that things such as the EPR and emergency medical care plan were reviewed on the staff member’s first day of work.

The allegations are as follows: There is a concern that inappropriate discipline was used. Enrollment Space #2 Staff J. Whitherspoon One, one year of age enrolled; zero children, one year of age present Four children, two years of age enrolled; three children, two years of age present Two children, three year of age enrolled; two children, three year of age present Space #4 Staff: C. Phillips One, two years of age enrolled; one children, two years of age present Seven children, three years of age enrolled; six children, three years of age present Five children, four years of age enrolled; two children, four years of age present Two children, five years of age enrolled; zero children, five year of age present Staff/child ratio, group size, supervision, use of licensed space, space capacity and license restrictions. I observed the indoor space. Children were transitioning from breakfast to group time and indoor free play. I observed the teachers assisting children with handwashing and leading group time. Proper handwashing techniques were observed. Based on the information provided regarding concerns that inappropriate discipline was used, I completed classroom observations and interviewed the administrator. Video footage was requested but was not available at the time of the visit. It was reported that during the week of December 9th-13th at departure time, a child, two years of age, was playing in the parking lot, ran in front of the van, and was not responding to being called to come back. In response, the administrator ran after the child and “forcefully” grabbed the child by the shoulders and guided them back to the van door to be loaded. Based on the above information and collateral reports, this allegation was confirmed. The following violation was documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 904 Child was handled roughly. A child, two years of age, was grabbed "forcefully" by the shoulders. .1803(a)(1) Child Care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance: Inappropriate behaviors by staff in early education programs can threaten the safety and security of the children in care and may be considered child maltreatment. Staff must always follow the facility discipline policy. You shared that you were in fear of the child’s safety as it was departure time and there are cars moving in and out of the parking lot. At no time should children be handled in a rough manner. Review the facility’s arrival and departure procedures and facility discipline policy, share it with your staff and assist them with understanding and implementing them to maintain compliance and keep children safe and healthy. Violations of this nature directly impact the safety of the children while in your care. In addition, these types of violations have the greatest negative impact on your compliance history. Please be reminded that confirmed complaints may result in the issuance of administrative actions. A follow-up visit will be conducted in the near future to monitor compliance with child care requirements. Additional information: You shared there have been issues with some challenging behaviors in some of the children. To assist with challenging behaviors in children, staff may modify the learning/play environment (schedule, routine, activities, transitions, etc.) to support appropriate behavior in a child. Recognize and accept age-appropriate behaviors. Understand the stages of development in which the children in your care fall. For example, those that cry may not have the verbal ability to express their needs and/or wants. Or, they may not have the skills yet to do so. The Healthy Social Behaviors (HSB) Project supports teachers to promote healthy social-emotional development and reduce the expulsion rate among young children in licensed child care centers across North Carolina. The team is made up of specialists with early childhood education backgrounds who are passionate about empowering teachers to develop learning environments and teaching practices that promote prosocial skills in young children.
