Pathways to the Stars: The NC Quality Rating and Improvement System Where Quality and Choice Meet Better school and life outcomes for children depend on quality early childhood teachers who have the skills to ensure that children, supported by their families, have the early experiences they need for healthy development and a strong foundation for learning. North Carolina led the nation in 1999 when it launched its Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS), a star rating system for early childhood education facilities. QRIS is a systemic approach to assess, improve, and communicate the level of quality in child care. It encourages programs to engage in continuous quality improvement and families may use the star rating to make informed decisions when choosing a child care facility. Begun in February 2023, the Child Care Commission’s work to modernize North Carolina’s QRIS is now complete. Pathways to the Stars, Section .3200, Standards for Two through Five Star Rated Licenses became effective July 1, 2025. Informed by national research, trends and outcomes, and input from more than 1,800 NC early childhood education professionals, Pathways to the Stars incorporates recommendations for change, such as: *Offering a choice of three pathways to demonstrate quality and earn a 2-5 Star Rated License. *Updating education standards for early childhood educators to expand options; and *Adding standards for both educators and facilities that support continuous quality improvement and family/community engagement and leadership best practices. NCRLAP: I encourage you to reach out to NCRLAP for assistance with resources that will help you prepare for your program assessments and reassessments.

Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your type of program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all the applicable laws and rules always if they have been monitored or specifically discussed with you in the past. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules. Compliance History: Prior to today's visit, this facility has maintained an 18-month compliance score of 96%. FIRE INSPECTION: Fire inspections should be completed within a year prior to the previous inspection date and submitted to the consultant within a week of the inspection visit. The fire inspection was current; however, it was not completed within a year of the previous inspection date September 15, 2022. This was corrected during the visit. A copy of the inspection was received during the visit. To ensure compliance, you should contact the environmental specialist to ensure your program is scheduled for an inspection prior to the previous inspection date. RECOGNIZING AND RESPONDING TO SUSPICION OF CHILD MALTREATMENT: Yvette Baskerville did not complete the training within 90 days of the hire date August 22, 2023. Jamie Chin did not complete the training within five years of the previous training date. To maintain compliance, I encourage you to use the staff checklist, document on a calendar or create a to do list as a reminder of when compliance is due with staff training. You should remember that if health and safety trainings are completed at different times, it may be difficult to maintain. I encourage you to complete the trainings around the same time to better manage renewal dates. CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK (CBC): Criminal background checks should be completed prior to employment with children. A CBC was observed for Yvette Baskerville dated September 22, 2023; however, it was not obtained prior to employment date and working with the children. SANITATION: Children’s Environmental Health has newly readopted child care sanitation rules. You should visit our website under the services tab, then select child care rules, law and public information, and then section 2800 Sanitation of Child Care to review newly readopted rules. STAR RATED LICENSE (SRL): The hold harmless legislation was extended and signed into law on Monday June 12th, 2023. This legislation allows facilities to remain at their current star level without a reassessment until June 30, 2024, and when reassessed it reduces the education evaluation requirements for lead teachers from 75% to 50% until June of 2026. To prepare for the reassessment process, DCDEE has developed a cohort system. There are three cohorts. You will receive more information according to what cohort you’re in. I encourage you to visit the NCRLAP website to view the cohort modules. PROVIDER DOCUMENTS/FORMS: You should visit the website often to ensure you’re using all updated forms. All requirements must be included if you choose to use your own forms electronically or hard copy. Child care rules update effective July 1, 2023.
