An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance: CPR/First Aid: Knowing what to do in an emergency medical situation can mean the difference between life or death. Being trained in CPR and first aid can be invaluable when someone is in serious medical distress. Therefore, it is so important that all staff working directly with children have current CPR and First Aid Certification. Staff have 90 days from the day of hire to complete the required trainings. A staff member was hired on 1/26/26 and completed CPR and First Aid training on 5/14/26. We discussed having staff complete the training as part of orientation to ensure the requirement is met. Emergency Drills: Caregivers and teachers should teach children the skills necessary to respond to a need to shelter in- place and should teach those skills before children participate in drills. You must conduct either a shelter-in-place or a lockdown drill every three months. Consider marking your calendar as a reminder of when drills are due. The last emergency drill was completed on 12/19/25 based on the emergency documentation log. Outdoor Environment: The outdoor learning environment offers a sense of freedom for children. Children are able to play freely with peers, expand their imagination beyond restraints of indoor activities, release energy and explore their sense of touch, smell, taste and their sense of motion. It is important that the outdoor area is checked regularly and proper upkeep is conducted to ensure the environment is safe for use. A monthly inspection was available for May 2026. You stated that the playground was closed during May 2026 because a shade structure was being installed. We discussed that even when the playground is closed it should be inspected for safety hazards. Fire Inspection: Facility safeguarding is not achieved by one agency carrying out a single regulatory program. Total safeguarding is achieved through a multiplicity of regulatory programs and agencies including sanitation and fire inspectors. Fire inspections should be completed annually and within 12 months of the previous inspection. The current inspection on file was completed on 3/4/25 and an updated fire inspection was not on file. You contacted facility maintenance during the visit to request an inspection. You stated that typically you would get a call, and a call was not received so the inspection was missed. Schedule a reminder for the month that the fire inspection is due annually. Additional Comments Today we discussed meals for the facility. Lunch meals will be provided by Pitt County Schools Monday- Thursday. We reviewed the nutrition rules regarding lunches being brought from home. We also discussed storage of children's personal belongings.

This Plan must be on a template provided by the Division available at https://rmp.nc.gov/portal/# completed within four months of completion of the Emergency Preparedness and Response in Child Care training, and available for review.

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. One employee hired on 10/27/25 did not have documentation of 6 hours of orientation within the first 2 weeks of employment. 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. Rated License – You the Application for Assessment for a Rated License today.
