You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment.

Name of Operation: WILD OAK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL Facility ID: 45000414 Consultant: DAWN MCCRARY Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0324-074L Visit Date: 3/18/2024 Number Present: 22 Completed Date: 3/20/2024 Age: From 3 To 5 Total Minutes: 120 Time In: 02:00 PM Time Out: 04:00 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit to investigate a complaint received by DCDEE 3/6/24 and by Dawn McCrary, 3/6/24. A computerized generated report of today’s visit was completed, reviewed with you and signed by Dawn McCrary, Child Care Consultant and also signed by Lindsay Jalonen, Director, during the visit. A signed copy of the visit summary was left on site for you. Upon arrival, I made my presence known to Lindsay Jalonen, Director, and explained the reason for today’s visit. This facility is located on the campus of the University of North Carolina’s Kellogg Center in Henderson County, NC. There are concerns about activities not being developmentally appropriate and sanitary toileting accommodations are not made for some children during outdoor activities. The reporter of the complaint stated that a child is continually denied access to the bathroom which has resulted in the child soiling themselves. The reporter stated that during a daily afternoon hike, which lasts approximately 90 minutes, if a child needs to use the restroom they are told to wait or use the woods. A child has arrived home, soiled twice. To prepare for today’s visit, I corresponded with Garrett Rapp, Environmental Health Program Specialist for Henderson County, concerning this issue. Mr. Rapp’s response was that any toileting outdoors is unacceptable and if being done, must stop immediately. Mr. Rapp provided me with the following rule: 15 NCAC 18A .2829 WASTEWATER In childcare centers, all wastewater originating from the child care center SHALL be disposed of using a publicly operated sewage treatment system or an individual sewage treatment system or an individual sewage disposal system that meets the requirements of the rules at Section .1900 of this Subchapter. Septic systems shall be of adequate size to accommodate the wastewater needs of the anticipated number of children and staff for ALL shifts. Ms. Jalonen stated that she had been approached by a parent with the toileting concern. Two teaching staff take approximately eight children on a hike after lunch on most days. The teaching staff did state that a child had said they needed to use the toilet and they asked if the child could wait or if they wanted to use the woods. The child did not use the woods for the toileting need. The staff are not aware if that was one of the days the child came home with soiled underclothes. The staff stated that the child did not ask to use the toilet while outdoors on any other occasion. Ms. Jalonen stated that she told the parent they could work together to come up with a plan to meet the child’s needs, however, the parent was not receptive to the idea. The parent only wanted for staff to return the child to the facility for toileting, leaving one staff with the remainder of the children on the hike. According to the classroom’s daily schedule, the children have scheduled toileting times in the mornings after morning snack at 10:00am and after lunch which is served at 12:00pm. The hike usually begins at approximately 12:45pm. The children arrive back to the facility by 1:50pm for the 2:00pm dismissal. I asked Ms. Jalonen what the policy if a toileting need occurred during the hikes. Ms. Jalonen stated that for safety reasons, it is not possible for a teaching staff to return to the facility with one child to use the restroom. She stated that in a true toileting need emergency, the staff could assist the child with toileting in the woods. Ms. Jalonen stated that there have not been any concerns with the toileting issues until this incident. Ms. Jalonen stated that in any other emergency while on the hike, such as a child becoming suddenly, severely ill, or injured, one of the teaching staff would contact Ms. Jalonen and Ms. Jalonen would immediately aid. In that instance, a teaching staff member would be allowed to leave the group to meet Ms. Jalonen with the child, if needed. Ms. Jalonen stated that each family is given a tour prior to enrollment. During the tour, the philosophy of the program is explained. Wild Oak Independent School’s website as well as a pamphlet available to all families and visitors has the following statement “In addition to offering a rich interdisciplinary and integrated curriculum, our classrooms are not confined to four indoor walls. Students will spend significant time in the natural world on a daily basis, both on campus and off.” The Wild Oak Independent School website is used for parents and guardians to enroll their children electronically. The child file for the child mentioned in the reported complaint was monitored during today’s visit. The Off-Premise Activity form which includes usage of the Kellogg Center property that is beyond the spaces that are licensed by NCDECE, including, but not limited to, the meadow, the trails and woods, the Music and Movement room and the outdoor patio. The Off-Premise Activity Permission Form states that the off-premise activities are a part of the day to day rhythm (schedule), do not require transportation, and are not considered field trips. The Policy Consent form, stating that the Wild Oak Independent School’s Seedling Program’s policies were received, reviewed and understood by the parent was signed by the parent of the child mentioned in the reported complaint. Due to more research and resources being needed to address this complaint, including conversations with my supervisor, I am unable to determine substantiation or un-substantiation of the complaint’s concerns today. A return visit will be conducted to determine the outcome. No violations were documented during today's visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 427 Children three years old or older were in care and the schedule did not include times and/or activities that were developmentally appropriate for the children in care. According to the posted schedule and interviews, children go on hikes for ninety minutes with no access to sanitary toileting accommodations.

You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment.
