You, Victoria Turner, Program Coordinator, assisted me with today’s visit. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on January 7, 2025. The program’s compliance history was eighty-eight percent prior to today’s visit. The center's five-star rated license, NC Child Care law summary, safe arrival and departure procedures, emergency phone numbers, tobacco restriction, monthly menu, and Emergency Medical Care Plan were prominently posted. The following was monitored during today’s visit: supervision, staff/child ratios, permit restrictions, group size, capacity, adequate and approved space, and hazardous product storage. A walkthrough of the indoor and outdoor environment was completed. Children were observed transitioning to Primetime care, supper, quiet time, and free choice activities. The Emergency Drill Log was monitored for completed fire, lock down, and shelter-in-place drills. The last fire drill was completed on October 15, 2025. The last lockdown drill was completed on October 28, 2025. Your outdoor play area does not meet child care safety standards. No concerns were observed. Materials, toys, and equipment throughout the facility were of sufficient quantity, developmentally appropriate, and in good repair. You stated that on children currently enrolled have medications or Medical Action plans. A selection of staff and children files were monitored during today’s visit. The facility does not provide transportation. The facility has completed lead water testing has not been started. Lead paint and asbestos testing with Clean Water for Carolina Kids enrollment has been started. The facility has started the provider portal roster within the ABCMS system, however all employees are not listed. The following violations were documented today: Violation Number Comment Rule 514 A meal was not provided for each child in care between 3pm and 11pm. Five out of seventeen children was not provided a meal during care. 0.0903 1756 Enhanced staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. Seventeen children ages 5-11 were present with one staff member. 10A NCAC 09 .2818 1805 A child care operator did not notify the Division of any new child care providers, as defined in G.S. 110-90.2(a)(2), who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. All staff are not listed on the ABCMS provider portal roster. G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) Technical Assistance was provided on the following: 1. ABCMS SYSTEM: The process of notifying the Division of any new child care providers working who are hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement as stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. Staff will need to create an application within their ABCMS portal using the provider code. Once staff has connected their application to the facility, the administrator will use the facility’s business NCID and “hire” each staff member using their current qualification letter date as the “hire” date. 2. We discussed that the facility meets enhanced ratios. The staff/child ratio of the youngest child present should be followed. We discussed putting a plan in place to ensure that the facility is in compliance with staff/child ratios when absences occur. If the classroom is in compliance with staff/child ratios after the staff person has been at the facility, the staff person may leave. 3. We discussed that each child should have a meal while in Primetime care. We discussed calling the cafeteria once all children have arrived to Primetime to give them the number of children present to ensure that each child has a meal. Consultation: • We discussed that all staff need to create a WORKS account within six months of hire. Staff will need to request official transcripts from their schools to mail in to the Workforce Unit for evaluation. Administrators and lead teachers are required to have a copy of their status letter in their personnel file for review. The group leader will need to submit official transcripts and upload their BSAC certificate to their WORKS account.

As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-8401 and someone will assist you. 2. While not an issues today, we discussed that individuals with a provisional criminal background check qualification letter may not be left alone with children. 3. Child Care Rule .0601 (f) Each child care center shall be free of lead poisoning hazards as defined in G.S. 130A-131.7(7) and asbestos hazards. Please email a copy of your results once they are received. 4. https://www.positivechildhoodalliancenc.org/online-trainings/ is the new website to complete the Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training.
