The following violation was cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 1847 A child care operator did not notify the Division of any new child care providers, as defined in G.S. 110-90.2(a)(2), who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. During the visit, I observed that the ABCMS Provider Portal was not current and did not include the operator on the roster. G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) 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 6/16/26. 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 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.

Box 1342 Lexington, NC 27293 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 the process of notifying the Division of new employees has changed and is now captured in ABCMS (Automated Background Check Management System). 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. This business NCID will be a separate NCID from the individual NCID you use to complete your background check. If you already have a Business NCID that you use in the Subsidy Portal for vouchers, you can use the same Business NCID as that one. 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. This will include the operator, additional caregivers, and any household 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. Pam also emailed you some additional information during the visit.

You cannot transport children until I confirm you are approved for transportation. • When you send me your transportation policies, please send me a picture of the registration for your van, a picture of the Band-Aids in the van, and a picture of the secured fire extinguisher in the van. • If you do routine transportation picking the children up from home this permission can be for twelve months. You need to add the valid dates on your blanket routine transportation form.

Legislative changes, however, will only allow centers with a 3 Star or higher license to continue to participate in the Subsidy System after the first 6 months of operation. You should begin making plans now to obtain at least a 3 Star License by the expiration of your Temporary License if you intend to participate in the NC Subsidized Child Care System. •Make sure you have an updated WORKS letters on file available for review.

It also must be documented on a screen time log. Screen time must not be accessible to children ages two (2) years old and younger. Screen time must be limited to thirty (30) minutes per day and no more than two and a half hours per week. •We discussed that the process of notifying the Division of new employees has changed and is now captured in ABCMS (Automated Background Check Management System).
