COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit your compliance history was 81% over an eighteen (18) month period. FACILITY PROFILE This facility is owned by South Henderson Pentecostal Holiness Church, Inc. The corporation is listed as current/active in the North Carolina Secretary of State corporation’s database and is required to remain so. I reviewed contact information for the owner and the facility with you, L. Mosley, and you verified the current information listed with DCDEE remains correct. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: SAFETY AND HEALTH While monitoring the facility classrooms I observed four (4) uncovered outlets. There were two (2) uncovered outlets in space #3 by the radio and cubbies, which you covered when informed. There was also an uncovered outlet in book area of space #4, which you also covered. I observed one (1) uncovered outlet by the paper towel dispenser in the bathroom used by children. This was also covered after you were informed. Therefore, this violation was documented as corrected during the visit. CHILDREN’S & STAFF RECORDS Ten (10) percent of children’s records were monitored today. I observed that one child enrolled 9/7/21 did have a required health assessment on file. While the child has a well-baby assessment on file it does not contain all of the information required on a child’s health assessment form. The same child’s record did not contain documentation that the smoking and tobacco restriction policy was reviewed with parents at the time of enrollment. I also monitored all new staff records and at least ten (10) percent of remaining records. The staff person hired 5/7/15 was due to renew their Health and Safety trainings in 2022. While seven (7) of the trainings were completed they did not take the required Administering Medications or ITS SIDS trainings. The same employee does not have a certificate of completion for the required Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Maltreatment training. The staff person hired 10/17/22 does not have an emergency information form on file. This should be completed on or prior to the first day of work. No staff development plans, or annual staff evaluations have been completed since January 2022. You plan to complete appropriate staff development plans and evaluations by the end of the month. I recommend you review all staff Health and Safety trainings to ensure they have all been completed including the Maltreatment training found on preventchildabusenc.org website. PROGRAM TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Technical assistance was discussed regarding tilling, or raking, the wood mulch be tilled to ensure it measures the required six (6) inches of depth at all slide exits. Continue to remind staff to store personal belongings, such as purses, in locked storage while children are in care. They should be locked in the bathroom lockers or if in the classroom a storage area with an approved lock. This ensures that children do not have access to any hazardous items or medications. If parents fail to sign children in and out daily staff should document the child’s arrival or departure at the time it occurs as required. REMINDERS Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all applicable laws and rules. The best way to do so is to periodically review the child care laws and rules. The current rule book dated July 1, 2023, is available at the DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/.
