D. Brothers, Owner, assisted me with the visit. The facility was issued a temporary license on July 30, 2025. Corporation Status: Per your statement and according to the NC Secretary of State's website, this facility is not currently owned or operated by a corporation. Please contact your child care consultant prior to any changes regarding the ownership of this facility. Your contact information on the Division of Child Development & Early Education (DCDEE) website was reviewed and the information is current. It is important to frequently check your email to remain informed about any new changes that have or may occur. During this visit, we walked through the facility observing the indoor environment. One school-age child was present. Open ended questions were asked, prompting the child to write. The child shared the most exciting thing he did over winter break and the most boring thing he did over winter break. After writing, he drew a picture to correspond to the prompt. You used words to encourage writing like, “I like that thought” and “I like the way you are thinking”. After the writing activity you and the child washed your hands and transitioned to the kitchen. The child assisted you with lunch preparation. The facility was assessed for supervision, staff/child ratio, and health and safety requirements. Children’s records, operator records and program records were monitored. Lunch included chicken nuggets, French fries, green beans, apple sauce and milk. Compliance History - Child Care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent.

Health & Safety Training - You must complete the required applicable Health and Safety Training (s) and have documentation on file for review within 1 year of employment and every five years thereafter. ABCMS - Notification to the Division of New Hires or Residents - 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. 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. 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 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. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-8401 and someone will assist you.
