Upon arrival at the facility, I reported to the office introduced myself and was escorted to the cafeteria/classroom. Upon arriving to the classroom, I introduced myself and explained the purpose of my visit. Ms. Carver, group leader/administrator, was present and assisted me during the visit. I conducted a walkthrough of the facility. There are twenty (20) students who are present on this date, ranging in age from five (5) to ten (10) years old. They were observed finishing snacks, a group activity, centers and leaving for the day. The most recent fire inspection was conducted on September 27, 2024, and the facility was approved for daytime care only. The most recent sanitation inspection was conducted on May 20, 2025. The facility received a 'Superior' classification. A partial assessment of childcare requirements was conducted during this visit.

The following violation was observed cited and technical assistance was provided. Violation Number Comment Rule 301 Minimum staff/child ratios and group sizes for the number and ages of children in care were not met. A staff member was observed exiting the classroom, leaving one staff member with nineteen(19) students ranging in age from five(5) years old and up to age ten(10) years old. GS 110-91(7);.0713(a-d) The above violation must be corrected immediately and a compliance letter sent to my office stating how and when the items of non-compliance were addressed and corrected.

Please close the letter with your electronic signature. If the letter has not been received by my office by 5:00pm, on September 17, 2025, a return visit may be necessary to ensure compliance with childcare requirements. You were provided with an opportunity to ask questions regarding interpretation and implementation of all childcare requirements. Childcare licensing rules and regulations are established to ensure a safe and healthy environment for children in care. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing laws and rules that apply to your program. Both are available on the DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/, on the home page under the ‘Services’ tab. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: When kindergarten students who are five (5) years old are in care, due to your reduced ration permit restrictions status, the ratio shall be maintained as one-five (1:15). When children are six (6) years old, and up to age twelve (12) the ratio shall be one to twenty (1:20). We discussed in detail the stipulations of this requirement.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: • Preparing for North Carolina’s New QRIS System Should you decide to participate in Pathways to the Stars, North Carolina’s Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) is being modernized to provide more flexible and equitable ways for programs to demonstrate quality. Beginning later this year, providers will be able to choose from three star-rating pathways: Program Assessment, Classroom & Instructional Quality Accreditation. This new approach allows programs to align their strengths with the pathway that best fits their operations. Now is the time to prepare. Programs should begin evaluating staff qualifications including updating staff education in NC Works, curriculum, and classroom interactions to determine the most suitable pathway. Updates to staff qualification standards and assessment tools are expected, and while current star ratings remain valid for now, all new ratings will be issued under the revised QRIS system. Your program’s quality should reflect not only compliance, but also a strong commitment to best practices, child development, and continuous improvement. Providers are encouraged to take advantage of available technical assistance and training opportunities. A provider meeting will be held on September 17, 2025, from 1:00pm-3:30PM. More information will be forthcoming. Please plan to attend this meeting to learn more about the new QRIS system. As you prepare for the QRIS be sure to double-check that all your education is listed in NC Works. The link is located on the DCDEE website under Services, select the drop-down box and select DCDEE Works. If I can be of further help to you, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I can be reached at anita.c.graham@dhhs.nc.gov. You may also reach me at 336-894-0609. If you cannot reach me, you may contact my supervisor Kaye Adkins kaye.adkins@dhhs.nc.gov.
