An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance: Children’s Medical Report- Children are required to have a medical exam by a doctor on file no later than 30 days from their first day of attendance. A medical exam can be accepted if completed within the last 12 months prior to enrollment. A medical record was not on file for the child enrolled on 8/22/23. You reported that you thought it was on file but were unable to locate it during the visit. Please locate the original or have the family provide you with a medical report. Review children’s files regularly to ensure the required documents are on file. Health and Safety Training and Five (5) Year Cycle Tracking Requirements - You originally completed your initial Health & Safety Training in October 2018 and are past due for your five-year renewal cycle. There are three training topics that need to be completed to complete the training series. To help meet this requirement, free H&S Trainings are available in Moodle on the DCDEE website. Southwestern Child Development Commission, www.swcdcinc.org, also offers an approved on-line option for H&S Training for a reasonable fee. Continue to complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment at www.preventchildabusenc.org. Once staff have completed the Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment on the Prevent Child Abuse NC website, any approved training related to Child Maltreatment can be used to meet this topic area for the five-year cycle. There is a second Child Maltreatment training available called “What is Prevention” available on the Prevent Child Abuse NC website that can be used for the 5-year renewal. Use the Health & Safety Training Log, available on the DCDEE website under Provider Documents, to document and track all H&S Training. Attach a certificate for each training topic area to log. These trainings can also be used to meet annual on-going training requirements. Written Plan of Care- Each family child care home operator who intends to complete routine tasks while children are in care shall develop and adopt a written plan of care for completing routine tasks. The plan must be given and explained to the parents of the children in care on or before the first day. This record must be maintained for the duration of the child’s enrollment. During today’s visit there was no written plan of care for a child enrolled on 7/24/23. You stated you reviewed the written plan of care with the parents upon enrolling, but the paper had been misplaced. Please locate the originally signed document or review the plan with the family to update the file. Review your files on a monthly or bi-monthly basis to ensure all required documents are on file. Additional Comments: A new July 2023 New Rule/Rule Amendments Overview module has been added to the Child Care Rules Training on DCDEE Moodle.
