On or before December 26, 2023, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit will be conducted. Mail or email the information to: Megan Brown, Child Care Consultant PO BOX 3187 Greenville, NC 27836 Megan.Brown@dhhs.nc.gov If you email the compliance letter, it must be sent from the email address registered with the DCDEE (this serves as your signature) and the following information must be included: name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance with violations documented: 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 daily and proper upkeep is conducted to ensure the environment is safe for use. There were broken hula hoop pieces in a toy pin and on the playground. You removed the broken pieces during the visit. The bolts on the base of the school bus was protruding. Have staff check daily and immediately report any issues. Transportation: Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in children two to fourteen years of age in the United States. It is necessary for the safety of children to require that the caregiver/teacher comply with requirements governing the transportation of children in care, in the absence of the parent/guardian. Any vehicle approved and used for transportation must have a First Aid kit and fire extinguisher located in the vehicle used to transport children. Today there was no fire extinguisher in the vehicle. A fire extinguisher must be bought and placed inside the vehicle immediately.
