You, Molly Kimmins, Administrator, assisted me with the visit. I observed your Four-Star License, NC Child Care Summary of the Law, menu, Emergency Medical Care Plan, Sanitation placard, staff-child ratio worksheets, First Aid poster, tobacco free policy signage and evacuation plans posted as required. Child to staff ratios, group size, supervision, permit restrictions, and adequate and approved space were monitored. A walk-through of the indoor and outdoor spaces was completed. I observed the children participating in free choice activities indoors and outdoors, during lunch, and rest time. All medications and accompanying documentation were monitored.

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.

During today’s visit, I am also following-up on a staff/child ratio violation that was cited during a complaint visit conducted on April 24, 2024. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on May 24, 2023. This center has a four star license and an 18 month compliance history score of 94%. The legal owner of the facility is Central Baptist Church and the status with the NC Secretary of State is current and active. The center's license, NC child care law summary, safe arrival and departure procedures, menu, and Emergency Medical Care Plan were prominently posted. You, Angela Guiton, Administrator, accompanied me on the walkthrough of the facility and assisted me with today’s visit. Staff/child ratio, supervision, capacity, group size and space were observed in compliance today. I used the “Annual Compliance Monitoring Checklist for Centers” during today’s visit. The arrival and departure records and monthly attendance records were current. The staff/child ratio chart, daily schedule, child care weather chart, emergency telephone numbers, and activity plans were current and posted in each classroom. Activity plans showed age-appropriate activities for the age of each group and included daily activities in all learning domains found in NC Foundations for Early Learning and Development. The facility uses Creative Curriculum with the entire facility, but also with the four year old classroom as required. Allergies were posted in each classroom and in the kitchen. Medications in each classroom were monitored. The menu was current and posted in the foyer, in each classroom, and in the kitchen. For ease of keeping the menu current, I suggested that you only post the menu in the foyer and in the kitchen. I monitored the outdoor play areas. I observed one large climbing structure and one set of swings on the preschool playground. The mulch on the preschool playground was of sufficient depth and resilient. Although not out of compliance today, I recommended that you remove the rubber covering on the stairs on the large climbing structure located on the preschool playground to keep from having tripping hazards in the future due to it beginning to crack. I observed one set of toddler swings and three small pieces of toddler climbing structures on the infant/toddler playground. The mulch surfacing on the infant/toddler playground was of sufficient depth and resilient. You stated that you do not provide transportation. The center's Emergency Drill Log and Report was reviewed. Fire drills were documented monthly as required. Shelter-in-place and Lock-down drills were documented quarterly as required. Playground safety inspections were reviewed and documented monthly as required. The incident log was monitored in compliance. The EPR plan for the facility was last updated on 6/19/18. The center last had a sanitation inspection on 4/18/24. The center received 0 demerits and received a superior classification. The center last had a fire inspection on11/7/23. The center is approved for day time care only. I monitored a sample of children files. I reviewed two new staff files and a sample of existing staff files. CPR, First Aid, special trainings, ITS-SIDS training, and criminal background checks were monitored for all staff. Preschool children were observed completing bathroom routines, transitioning through the hallway, napping, participating in free choice play inside, and participating in teacher directed activities inside. Infants were observed participating in free choice play inside and being held while being fed a bottle. I reviewed the rated license process with you today. We reviewed your current four star license to ensure that there were no changes to the owner or permit restrictions. You are in cohort 1 which is scheduled to have a re-assessment completed between July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025. You will have a rated license visit conducted before the Environmental Rating Scale is completed, per your request. The following violations were cited today. Violation Number Comment Rule 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference. Space 1 had an activity plan dated for the week of April 29, 2024. GS 110-91(12); .0508(a) 533 Human milk, formula and other bottled beverages including sippy cups, sent from child's home were not fully prepared, dated, and labeled for the appropriate child. I observed three water bottles sent from home that were not labeled with the child's name and dated. 15A NCAC 18A .2804(d) Technical assistance was given in the following areas: 1. All water bottles and infant bottles sent from home should be labeled with the child’s name and date. I recommend all staff checking the bottles once all children arrive to the facility each day. 2. Activity plans should be dated for the current week. I recommend that activity plans be posted at the end of the week to ensure that there is a current activity plan posted on Monday morning each week. Consultation was given in the following areas: 1. On January 1, 2024, a new Child Care Rule was passed regarding centers being free of lead poisoning hazards. To ensure compliance with the new Rule, go to www.cleanwaterforcarolinakids.org to register for the testing. Child Care Rule .0601(f) Each child care center shall be free of lead poisoning hazards as defined in G.S. 130A-131.7(7) and asbestos hazards. 2. I suggest reviewing the ITERS-R and ECERS-R books with your staff, complete training on the ITERS-R and ECERS-R assessments and reviewing resources found on www.ncrlap.org, and request TA from Smart Start Rowan to assist with preparing for the Environmental Rating Scale assessments. 3. I reminded the director that the EPR plan and Emergency Medical Care Plan should be updated annually. All violations were corrected during today's visit, therefore, a compliance letter is not required.

Name of Operation: CENTRAL CHILD-DEVELOPMENT CENTER Facility ID: 80000324 Consultant: CAROLYN CONLEY Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0424-327L Visit Date: 4/24/2024 Number Present: 60 Completed Date: 4/24/2024 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 135 Time In: 11:30 AM Time Out: 01:45 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to investigate a report received in the Raleigh office. There are concerns about inappropriate discipline and rough handling. The center's license was prominently posted. Permit restrictions, staff/child ratios, supervision, capacity, group size and space were monitored. Upon arrival, I was greeted by you, Angela Guiton, administrator. The children were observed during the toileting routines in the hallway bathrooms, hand washing routines, transitioning to nap time, story time and nap time. You stated that there are 60 children present between infant aged through five years of age and there are 62 children enrolled. FINDINGS: -The staff were observed interacting with the children as they prepared for nap time, toileting time, assisting with hand washing procedures and rubbing children’s backs during nap time. They were observed providing a nurturing environment for the children. The administrator and all staff member’s interviewed stated that there was an upset parent in August 2023 concerning her child telling her that he was grabbed by the arm and that his food was thrown away. They stated that the child needed assistance to get up from the cafeteria bench when asked to move because of the children getting “rowdy”. Staff stated that the staff member placed her hands on his trunk to help him get up and was directed to sit at another table while they cleaned the table. The administrator stated that the parent contacted her by phone concerning what her child had said happened. The parent also wanted to know the discipline policy for the program and the administrator shared some examples: redirection, time out and going to cozy area. The discipline policy used is the template from DCDEE and the families are given a copy and are required to sign it. The parent requested to have a meeting to discuss the event through Bright Wheel. Staff responded and listed times that they could meet that were the times the parent stated that she was available, and the parent did not respond. Based on observations, administrator and staff interviews the allegations could not be confirmed and therefore the allegations were unsubstantiated. The following violation was observed and corrected during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 1756 Enhanced staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. There was one staff member and 14 children between the ages of 4 years and 5 years in the restroom during toileting procedures. 10A NCAC 09 .2818 TECHNICAL ASSITANCE: -Remind staff what the required enhanced ratios are and the protocol to follow if someone needs to use the restroom or needs a break to ensure that ratios are met at all times. It may be helpful to list the ratios in the restrooms in the hallway as a reminder to staff.
