The law includes revisions to several sections within Chapter 110 of the NC General Statutes regarding child care and early childhood education. It requires DCDEE to develop and propose a possible plan to separate the quality rating improvement system (QRIS) from the requirements and payments for participation in the Subsidized Child Care Assistance (SCCA) Program. Some of the wide ranging regulatory options and changes include: lead teacher requirements and responsibilities, new education equivalencies, space and equipment requirements in a public school serving school age children, group sizes for centers, and exemptions for Department of Defense certified family child care homes. In addition, the law addresses child care business related issues such as residential building code and liability insurance.

The following information must be included in your signed and dated compliance letter: • the name of your center • facility ID number • date • title of the person who signs the letter • each violation number(s) • describes accurately and in detail how and when you corrected each violation You may email the letter to whitney.parker@dhhs.nc.gov or mail two copies of the letter to: Whitney Parker P.O. Box 1342 Lexington, NC 27293 If you state in your letter that corrections or changes have been made when they have not, it will be considered falsification of information and could lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Repeated violations, continued non-compliance, or failure to submit the compliance letter prior to the date given in this visit summary can also lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit related to violations: • We discussed that all employees must have a medical report on day one (1). You stated you would have the employee attain a medical report immediately. • We discussed that the safe arrival and departure policy must be posted at all times.

We discussed the torn seats during the visit and you stated you would speak to your supervisors to discuss the seats. Additional Information/Consultation: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. • We discussed the minibus that has just been painted. Make sure you replace the no tobacco sign on the minibus prior to your next field trip this week. • We discussed that every employee needs a WORKS letter on file. Make sure each employee has a WORKS letter on file so that when the rated license process starts, we will be able to move forward. We cannot process anyone’s education without a WORKS letter. • Keep a check on the mulch area on the toddler playground. We discussed that the grass is showing through and will likely impact your mulch soon. • We discussed that you may be purchasing a new vehicle to transport children. I will need to approve any new vehicle prior to you using it to transporting children. • On June 26th, the North Carolina Rules Review Commission (RRC) approved the QRIS Modernization rules adopted by the NC Child Care Commission during their April meeting. The Division of Child Development and Early Education is preparing a summary of the rules, an online training module for Moodle, and an implementation plan. A webinar will be scheduled later to share the implementation plan and will also provide resources that can assist you with understanding the new rules. The implementation plan will allow time for administrators/operators to learn and understand the different pathways and the changes within our system. We encourage you to visit the QRIS Modernization page on the DCDEE website to learn more now. • Last week Governor Stein signed HB 412 into law, which became Session Law 2025-36. The law includes revisions to several sections within Chapter 110 of the NC General Statutes regarding child care and early childhood education. It requires DCDEE to develop and propose a possible plan to separate the quality rating improvement system (QRIS) from the requirements and payments for participation in the Subsidized Child Care Assistance (SCCA) Program. Some of the wide ranging regulatory options and changes include: lead teacher requirements and responsibilities, new education equivalencies, space and equipment requirements in a public school serving school age children, group sizes for centers, and exemptions for Department of Defense certified family child care homes. In addition, the law addresses child care business related issues such as residential building code and liability insurance. DCDEE is working to bring our staff and partners up to date with the new law and will update our materials and website as soon as possible. • Make sure you are signed up to receive the Raise NC Newsletters as information will be shared with you all about important DCDEE updates through this newsletters.

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 in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new childcare providers working who were hired or moved into the childcare facility within five business days.

The environment rating scale score received on 10/24/2018 was 5.61. During today’s visit, we discussed this score may not be related to the NC Pre-K classroom. Ms. Goodman stated the first time the facility had an NC Pre-K classroom was in 2019. The following violations were cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 1301 Center did not maintain a record of daily attendance. During the visit, I observed an attendance record that was not updated on 2/12/2025 in space six (6). GS 110-91(9) 1824 The trained staff did not review the EPR Plan annually or when information in the plan changed to ensure all information was current. During the visit, I observed an EPR plan that had not been revised since January 2024. .0607(e) 1874 The Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy was not reviewed with new staff prior to providing care with children and/or a signed acknowledgement with all the required information was not maintained in the staff person's file. During the visit, I observed one (1) NC Pre-K child file that did not include a Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy signed acknowledgment. .0608(d)(1-4) 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. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. All violations cited today were corrected during the visit. A compliance letter is not due at this time. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit related to violations: • We discussed that all children must receive a copy of the shaken baby syndrome policy and documentation of this must be maintained in each file. You had the parent sign a copy of the policy and placed it in the file during the visit. • We discussed that the EPR plan must be reviewed annually and that you must print the first page of the plan to reflect this review. You updated the first page during the visit and noted that no changes were necessary. • We discussed that accurate and current attendance records must be maintained for each child. The teacher updated her attendance record to reflect the missing attendance dates. Additional Information/Consultation: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. • The hold harmless was extended until the QRIS modernization has been completed. The previous cohort model is no longer in effect. Starting on February 1, 2025, the ECERS-3, ITERS-3, and FCCERS-3—also known as the "3s"—will be used for DCDEE environment rating scale assessments. The DCDEE and the North Carolina Rated License Assessment Project (NCRLAP) are collaboratively working on preparations for the transition to the third editions. These third editions come with a spiral binding at the top, replacing the current revised editions. Visit the NCRLAP’s website for more information about updated resources, credit hour trainings, and outreach assessment opportunities to help you become familiar with these tools. For official environment rating scale assessments for a NC Star Rated License, the NCRLAP will use the Revised editions until February 1, 2025. You can find more information at this link: https://ncrlap.org/Resources/pages/get-ready-for-3s/ • The process of notifying the Division of new employees has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, 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. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. 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 in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new childcare providers working who were hired or moved into the childcare facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. • We discussed the teeter totters on your playgrounds. These can only be used by children three (3) to thirteen (13) years of age. We discussed anchoring these to the ground to ensure they stay in place and do not move when children use them. We also discussed ensuring the six (6) foot perimeter around the structure. • Keep a check on the cardboard blocks in space nine (9). They are beginning to show signs of wear. • Make sure you get the bus inspected before the end of this month. If the inspection and registration expire, you cannot use the vehicle to transport children. • Make sure you have a fire inspection by 02/21/2025. Please email me a copy of this inspection once it is completed. • During today’s visit, we discussed the fellowship hall and cafeteria. It is unclear if this space has been approved. I took measurements during the visit and will reach back out to you with additional information as soon as possible. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was reviewed with and provided to you. Thank you for your time and assistance during the visit.

Box 1342 Lexington, NC 27293 If you state in your letter that corrections or changes have been made when they have not, it will be considered falsification of information and could lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Repeated violations, continued non-compliance, or failure to submit the compliance letter prior to the date given in this visit summary can also lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit: • Menus must be current and posted for parents for easy view. Consider adding posting menus to Friday's "to-do list" to have them available for each new week. You posted a current menu during the visit. • Administering medication requires careful attention to detail. Parents/guardians and prescribing health professionals must give a caregiver/teacher written authorization to administer medication to the child. Caregivers/teachers must be diligent in their adherence to the medication administration policy and procedures to prevent any inadvertent medication errors, which may be harmful to the child. Authorization periods for administering over the counter medications are valid for twelve months at a time. This was discussed with the Director. Please have the parents complete the medication authorization form and verify in writing that the form is on file for each child with medication at the facility. • Infant feeding plans must be completed fully and posted in the classroom when the infant is enrolled. It is critical to have all parent information on the form including the parent signature verifying the information is correct. You stated you would have the parent sign the form at pick up. • Approximately 2,400 children are injured annually by inserting objects into the slots of electrical outlets. For this reason, all electrical outlets, including those on power strips, not in use that are in areas accessible to children must be protected with a safety plug or a tamper-resistant electrical outlet. An open outlet was observed in space three and you covered it immediately. • The number one cause of injury on playgrounds is falls to the surface. Maintaining the correct depth of protective surfacing material is crucial for safety. The outdoor learning environment offers a sense of freedom for children. Since children are exploring it is very important to provide a safe environment. On the playground used for preschoolers and school-agers are a swing set and slide structure with a critical height of over 5 feet. Therefore, the mulch underneath and around the structure must be at least 6 inches in depth. The mulch measured between 1 - 2 inches underneath and around the two structures. You stated during the visit you have a mulch order that is scheduled to be delivered on 08/20/2024. • Even though emergencies are unpredictable and unexpected, we should do our best to prepare as generally as possible. Childcare centers must conduct a shelter-in-place or lockdown drill at least every three months and keep a record that includes the date of each drill, time of day, the length of time to reach the designated location and the signature of the person conducting the drill. Consider keeping the two most current logs to ensure verification of drills being completed every three months. Additional Information/Consultation: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. • In space nine, remove the large Lego from the block play area. Interlocking materials are considered manipulatives per NCRLAP. • Fluff the mulch on the little playground, especially at the base of the slides. • New employees without current criminal background check letters cannot be on site. Make sure even while employees are doing orientation they have a current CBC letter on file. • Have all your staff update and print their current WORKS letters for their files. This is what we will use to determine education when the rated license process resumes. • On-going training hours should be recorded based on hire dates. I viewed hours today based on hire dates and we discussed how the carry over hours should be recorded moving forward. • For the seesaw structures, they must be installed per manufacturer instructions (i.e. secured with bolts, etc.) A copy of these instructions must be maintained on file for review by DCDEE. If any point of the structure is secured and measured over eighteen inches in height, must be installed over the correct depth surfacing and have the correct fall zones. For more information about these requirements, please view rule .0605 (j-l) in child care rule. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was reviewed with and provided to you.

Restrictions include daytime care only; meets all enhanced requirements and enhanced ratios minus one; children under 2 ½ years old in rooms with direct exits only. The license was observed, and the restrictions were found in compliance. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on 7/8/2024 and First Baptist Church of Kernersville, Inc. was listed as current and active.

The following violations were cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 526 Menus for all meals and snacks were not current or posted where easily seen by parents and cook. During the visit, I did not observe a current menu posted where easily seen by parents. 10A NCAC 09 .0901(b) 541 The written feeding plan did not include the child's name, parent signature, and/or was not dated when received by the center. During the visit, I observed one feeding plan that did not include the parent's signature. .0902(a) 812 Electrical outlets and power strips, not in use, which were located in space used by children did not have safety outlets or were not covered with safety plugs unless located behind furniture or equipment that cannot be moved by a child. During the visit, I observed one uncovered outlet in space three. 10A NCAC 09 .0604(c) 1811 Shelter-in-place or lockdown drills were not practiced every three months and/or drill record was incomplete. During the visit, I was not able to view documentation of a shelter-in-place or lockdown drill being practiced in March 2024. There was a shelter-in-place visit documented on 06/27/2024 and prior to that the last documented drill to be verified was 12/29/2023. .0604(u);.0302(d)(8) 1867 The depth of the loose surfacing was not based on critical height of the equipment. During the visit, I observed mulch under a swing set and slide structure to measure approximately two inches. .0605(k)(1-4) 1882 Medication authorization, giving the caregiver standing authorization did not meet the specifications in rule. During the visit, I observed two medication authorization forms that had expired in space ten. .0803(6)(a-i); .0803(7)(a-g); .0803(8)(a-d) 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. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. You must correct the violations cited during today's visit immediately and send me documentation verifying compliance on or before 8/27/2024. The following information must be included in your signed and dated compliance letter: • the name of your center • facility ID number • date • title of the person who signs the letter • each violation number(s) • describes accurately and in detail how and when you corrected each violation You may email the letter to whitney.parker@dhhs.nc.gov or mail two copies of the letter to: Whitney Parker P.O. Box 1342 Lexington, NC 27293 If you state in your letter that corrections or changes have been made when they have not, it will be considered falsification of information and could lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Repeated violations, continued non-compliance, or failure to submit the compliance letter prior to the date given in this visit summary can also lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit: • Menus must be current and posted for parents for easy view. Consider adding posting menus to Friday's "to-do list" to have them available for each new week. You posted a current menu during the visit. • Administering medication requires careful attention to detail. Parents/guardians and prescribing health professionals must give a caregiver/teacher written authorization to administer medication to the child. Caregivers/teachers must be diligent in their adherence to the medication administration policy and procedures to prevent any inadvertent medication errors, which may be harmful to the child. Authorization periods for administering over the counter medications are valid for twelve months at a time. This was discussed with the Director. Please have the parents complete the medication authorization form and verify in writing that the form is on file for each child with medication at the facility. • Infant feeding plans must be completed fully and posted in the classroom when the infant is enrolled. It is critical to have all parent information on the form including the parent signature verifying the information is correct. You stated you would have the parent sign the form at pick up. • Approximately 2,400 children are injured annually by inserting objects into the slots of electrical outlets. For this reason, all electrical outlets, including those on power strips, not in use that are in areas accessible to children must be protected with a safety plug or a tamper-resistant electrical outlet. An open outlet was observed in space three and you covered it immediately. • The number one cause of injury on playgrounds is falls to the surface. Maintaining the correct depth of protective surfacing material is crucial for safety. The outdoor learning environment offers a sense of freedom for children. Since children are exploring it is very important to provide a safe environment. On the playground used for preschoolers and school-agers are a swing set and slide structure with a critical height of over 5 feet. Therefore, the mulch underneath and around the structure must be at least 6 inches in depth. The mulch measured between 1 - 2 inches underneath and around the two structures. You stated during the visit you have a mulch order that is scheduled to be delivered on 08/20/2024. • Even though emergencies are unpredictable and unexpected, we should do our best to prepare as generally as possible. Childcare centers must conduct a shelter-in-place or lockdown drill at least every three months and keep a record that includes the date of each drill, time of day, the length of time to reach the designated location and the signature of the person conducting the drill. Consider keeping the two most current logs to ensure verification of drills being completed every three months. Additional Information/Consultation: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. • In space nine, remove the large Lego from the block play area. Interlocking materials are considered manipulatives per NCRLAP. • Fluff the mulch on the little playground, especially at the base of the slides. • New employees without current criminal background check letters cannot be on site. Make sure even while employees are doing orientation they have a current CBC letter on file. • Have all your staff update and print their current WORKS letters for their files. This is what we will use to determine education when the rated license process resumes. • On-going training hours should be recorded based on hire dates. I viewed hours today based on hire dates and we discussed how the carry over hours should be recorded moving forward. • For the seesaw structures, they must be installed per manufacturer instructions (i.e. secured with bolts, etc.) A copy of these instructions must be maintained on file for review by DCDEE. If any point of the structure is secured and measured over eighteen inches in height, must be installed over the correct depth surfacing and have the correct fall zones. For more information about these requirements, please view rule .0605 (j-l) in child care rule. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was reviewed with and provided to you.
