When asked, it was stated that the child walked to classroom, alone to retrieve his cup. When I measured, the classroom is approximately 50 feet from the lunchroom. The child care rule states that children must be adequately supervised at all times. Staff must be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize their ability to hear or see the children at all times and render assistance. Adequate, active supervision in childcare is essential for preventing injuries, ensuring safety, and fostering a supportive, engaging learning environment. It involves constant, intentional observation—seeing, hearing, and directing children—to mitigate risks, manage transitions, and build trusting relationships that allow children to explore confidently. Key Aspects of Importance: • Safety and Injury Prevention: Active supervision is the primary method for preventing accidents and injuries by allowing caregivers to anticipate dangers before they occur, such as identifying hazards or intervening in unsafe play. • Active Engagement and Learning: Beyond safety, it involves being actively involved in play to support social, emotional, and cognitive development. • Emotional Security: It ensures children feel secure, allowing them to explore and learn while knowing an adult is watching over them. • Effective Monitoring: It requires consistent, proactive strategies like scanning, counting (especially during transitions), and listening to identify when a child may need help,, even in quiet moments. EMBRACE THE COLD: Join Child Care Resources on February 17 from 7-8 p.m. to learn ways to plan outdoor learning time when you are facing cold, snowy, and rainy weather.

If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit will be conducted. The center’s compliance history score was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was 92% as of March 9, 2025. CORPORATION STATUS: Mt. Calvary Free Will Baptist Church of Hookerton, North Carolina, Inc.is listed as the current owner of this center. According to information verified on the North Carolina Secretary of State’s website, Mt. Calvary Free Will Baptist Church of Hookerton, North Carolina, Inc. remains current and active. Prior to making any changes in the ownership status contact me to discuss the change of ownership procedures. Failure to comply could impact the program license status. You stated the church which owns the child care program name has changed from Mount Calvary Freewill Baptist Church to Mount Calvary Baptist Church; however, the child care program’s mane remains the same. You asked if any action was required because of the change in name. I explained based on my review of the Secretary of State’s website the name is still listed as Mt. Calvary Free Will Baptist Church of Hookerton, North Carolina. I further explained further research will be conducted to determine if action is required and feedback will be provided via telephone. MEDICATION REQUIREMENTS: It is important to ensure medication practices are followed according to instructions provided by the physician and in compliance with child care medication administration requirements. Medication administration is an important process as it ensures children’s safety. If the medicines are not administered properly, it may lead to unwarranted issues. We talked about the areas of noncompliance found when monitoring medication. I informed you medication should be kept in its original container with the pharmacy label and instructions to avoid being given to the wrong child. An asthma inhaler and Nystatin cream kept on site were not in the original containers. We also discussed ensuring medications including prescription and over the counter do not expire. It was suggested conducting periodic checks of all medication administered kept on site and administered to children to ensure dates are current. I reminded you when medication has expired or is no longer used it should be returned to the parent. SAFE ENVIRONMENT: A hole from removal of dirt was created on the playground used by preschool children. I explained the hole posed a tripping hazard for children while playing. I advised you to add dirt to fill the hole and remove the potential hazard. Also, a small blue truck was cracked exposing a sharp edge on the corner. The truck should be removed from the play area immediately. Although there was enough surfacing on the playground, it was low and compacted. The surfacing should be tilled and redistributed evenly around the large play structure. I recommend paying close attention to these areas when completing outdoor play inspections. This will help ensure a safe environment is provided for children. I explained all items in aerosol dispensed containers must be kept in a locked space using approved locks. A can of Lysol was on the wooden shelf above the sink in Space #1. Be reminded you and staff are responsible for always maintaining a safe environment for children in care.

The program’s compliance history was 92% as of March 9, 2025. CORPORATION STATUS: Mt. Calvary Free Will Baptist Church of Hookerton, North Carolina, Inc.is listed as the current owner of this center. According to information verified on the North Carolina Secretary of State’s website, Mt. Calvary Free Will Baptist Church of Hookerton, North Carolina, Inc. remains current and active. Prior to making any changes in the ownership status contact me to discuss the change of ownership procedures. Failure to comply could impact the program license status. You stated the church which owns the child care program name has changed from Mount Calvary Freewill Baptist Church to Mount Calvary Baptist Church; however, the child care program’s mane remains the same. You asked if any action was required because of the change in name. I explained based on my review of the Secretary of State’s website the name is still listed as Mt. Calvary Free Will Baptist Church of Hookerton, North Carolina. I further explained further research will be conducted to determine if action is required and feedback will be provided via telephone. MEDICATION REQUIREMENTS: It is important to ensure medication practices are followed according to instructions provided by the physician and in compliance with child care medication administration requirements. Medication administration is an important process as it ensures children’s safety. If the medicines are not administered properly, it may lead to unwarranted issues. We talked about the areas of noncompliance found when monitoring medication. I informed you medication should be kept in its original container with the pharmacy label and instructions to avoid being given to the wrong child. An asthma inhaler and Nystatin cream kept on site were not in the original containers. We also discussed ensuring medications including prescription and over the counter do not expire. It was suggested conducting periodic checks of all medication administered kept on site and administered to children to ensure dates are current. I reminded you when medication has expired or is no longer used it should be returned to the parent. SAFE ENVIRONMENT: A hole from removal of dirt was created on the playground used by preschool children. I explained the hole posed a tripping hazard for children while playing. I advised you to add dirt to fill the hole and remove the potential hazard. Also, a small blue truck was cracked exposing a sharp edge on the corner. The truck should be removed from the play area immediately. Although there was enough surfacing on the playground, it was low and compacted. The surfacing should be tilled and redistributed evenly around the large play structure. I recommend paying close attention to these areas when completing outdoor play inspections. This will help ensure a safe environment is provided for children. I explained all items in aerosol dispensed containers must be kept in a locked space using approved locks. A can of Lysol was on the wooden shelf above the sink in Space #1. Be reminded you and staff are responsible for always maintaining a safe environment for children in care.

Your last lead water test was completed March 21, 2021. The Clean Water for Carolina Kids program is expanding to the Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program. This is a legislatively mandated effort to address lead and asbestos hazards in North Carolina public schools, licensed child care centers, and licensed family child care homes. Participation allows facilities to meet all rule requirements for identified lead and asbestos hazards, as required by law. Rules 10A NCAC 41C .1001 through .1007 require all programs to be free of lead and asbestos hazards. RTI is coordinating all the lead in water, paint and asbestos testing and remediation. There are webinars that child care providers can watch to get instructions. Go to https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/ for more information. Currently operating child care facilities are required to test for lead in paint and asbestos once unless the consultant notes a concern during a visit and refers the program to environmental health. All existing licensed programs must complete the application summary for their program regarding lead paint and asbestos by May 1, 2024. The application is on the https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/ website. Rule 15A NCAC 18A .2816 requires currently operating child care centers to test water initially and every three years. Most of you have completed your initial testing and now it is time for your three-year retest.

Please ensure you are using the updated January 2024 rule book, and view information in the DCDEE Moodle (enroll if necessary). You will need to have an NCID - the same NCID that you use for the health & safety training, WORKS login, and/or the CBC Portal - to participate in Moodle training. If you do not have an NCID, use this link to get one: https://ncid.nc.gov. Rule training modules can be found in the same course as the October 2017 Child Care Rule Rollout. If you are unfamiliar with the Child Care Rule Rollout within Moodle and how to navigate, please visit: https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Learning-Resources/How-to-Navigate-Moodle.

ADEQUATE AND APPROVED SPACE/CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK: During the walk through of the facility it was observed that six (6) four-year-old children from room four (4) were being cared for in the gym with Madison Mozingo the teacher from room three (3) with the three and four-year-old children. Those children playing in the gym walked down the hall and went into room four (4). You stated the other six (6) four-year-old children from room four (4) were sent to the building next door, Mount Calvary Christian Academy, and were being cared for in the library; which is unlicensed space. The children were cared for by Maggie Axum who does have a qualifying criminal background check on file which expires on June 12, 2028, and they were also cared for by Genell Rice who does not have a qualifying criminal background check on file. Ms. Rice was left alone with the children. When asked why the children were in unlicensed space, you stated, “The teacher had a doctor’s appointment and would be returning.” You also stated when the teacher returns, she will resume caring for the twelve (12) four-year-old children in room four. You also shared you did not have enough staff to cover the teacher being out and normally you would have cared for the children, but you were cooking lunch. We discussed that children can never be cared for in space that has not been approved by the Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) and children can never be left alone with adults who do not have a qualifying criminal background check letter on file. You stated you have volunteers you can call in and discussed calling in a volunteer to help prepare and serve lunch which will allow you to address any situations that may occur in your facility. I also reminded you that the volunteers can not be left alone with the children and to make sure they have the following on file: verification of age, a negative TB test result, emergency information form, health questionnaire, and documentation of being informed of your Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPR) and its location.
