Danyalle Dooley, Group Leader, was also present at the time of my visit. Students were observed during departure procedures, some playing basketball and others were observed coloring with markers in the gym area. I requested to see Ms. Brice’s file and she stated that she does not have access to it.

Once you arrived you pulled up her file electronically and I monitored the documents. You also gave me an updated Staff and Training Worksheet during today's visit. Currently, this facility operates with a temporary license issued from August 9, 2025, through February 9, 2026.

We discussed if you want the programs to be eligible for a 4 or 5 star rated license at any or all of the YMCA Childcare locations in Catawba County, you may move forward with the ‘Classroom and Instructional Quality (Pathway 2)' option with the plan to use the curriculum you have submitted for approval.

Once you arrived you pulled up her file electronically and I monitored the documents. You also gave me an updated Staff and Training Worksheet during today's visit. Currently, this facility operates with a temporary license issued from August 9, 2025, through February 9, 2026.

RATED LICENSE ASSESSMENT INFORMATION: During the visit conducted on September 16, 2025, we discussed the three QRIS Pathways to the Stars effective July 1, 2025. We covered staff education (including ensuring all staff have WORKS accounts, understanding the 50% requirement for the administrator and for other educators, and how work experience may count), enhanced ratios and space expectations, the Family and Community Engagement Foundational Practices, and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Plans. We discussed if you want the programs to be eligible for a 4 or 5 star rated license at any or all of the YMCA Childcare locations in Catawba County, you may move forward with the ‘Classroom and Instructional Quality (Pathway 2)' option with the plan to use the curriculum you have submitted for approval.
