During the visit, I observed the children in space #1 transitioning from free play in activity areas to handwashing/bathroom routines in preparation for lunch. The teachers encouraged the children to clean up in a positive manner and assisted when needed. All interactions and language observed were positive. In space #2 I observed the children engaged in free play in activity centers and a small group of children were sitting at a table working with one (1) of the teachers.

The children were assisted when needed. The violations of childcare requirements observed during the visit are below.

To verify correction of the violations you shall submit a signed letter to me explaining in detail how you have corrected the violations described above. The letter should include the facility name and facility ID number. List each item using the item number located to the left of the violation description. When submitting an email for corrections, that email must be sent from the email address of the person designated to submit corrections (example: director) and must include this person’s name and title at the end of the email. I must receive the letter by email or at the address below on or before 10/25/23. You are required to maintain compliance with all applicable childcare rules and regulations at all times. NC GS 110-90(4)(d) requires all child care facilities to maintain a compliance history score of at least 75% for the past 18 months or during the length of time the facility has operated, whichever is less. Failure to do so may result in the issuance of a provisional license or other administrative action. Violations cited during the visit may negatively affect this score. Failure to maintain compliance with our requirements may result in administrative action against your license, which could include civil penalties. Repeated violations may significantly affect your compliance history. Resources: *Ensure that all staff have created a WORKS account and have submitted all education documents in the WORKS database.
