Name of Operation: KINDERCARE LEARNING CENTER Facility ID: 85000146 Consultant: KELLY HEALY Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0325-326L Visit Date: 3/31/2025 Number Present: 22 Completed Date: 3/31/2025 Age: From 3 To 4 Total Minutes: 150 Time In: 10:00 AM Time Out: 12:30 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 obtain information regarding alleged violations of childcare requirements. This visit was conducted by Kelly Healy, childcare consultant with Ms. Myranda Calloway, Director. The allegations are as follows: There are allegations of violations of child care requirements. During today’s visit, the allegations were discussed with Ms. Calloway. Information shared during this visit is documented in this visit summary. This program currently operates with a Five Star license effective 11-01-2024. Restrictions include daytime care only, meets enhanced space. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on 03-31-2025 and was listed as current and active. The program’s compliance history was 96% prior to today’s visit. All programs are required to maintain at least 75% compliance. Today, the following items were monitored: • Supervision • Staff / Child Ratio • Adequate / Approved Space • License Posted • Permit Restrictions During today’s visit, I conducted interviews, observations, and reviewed paperwork. Ms. Calloway explained to me that on 03-21-2025, a three-year-old child was left alone in the bathroom with the door closed for at least twenty minutes, after the child’s class transitioned from one classroom to another at the end of the day. Ms. Calloway stated that there are not cameras and that she interviewed the persons involved in the incident. Ms. Calloway stated that the child is the son of the teacher in the five-year-old classroom. The mother of the child had left her classroom at the end of the day and went to retrieve her son from his room and could not find him. She alerted Ms. Calloway that she could not find her child and several staff persons assisted in helping look for the child around the center. The child was found playing on the bathroom floor of the classroom where he spent the majority of the day. The teacher had not taken him with the rest of the class when she transitioned the children from one classroom to another at the end of the day. Ms. Calloway stated that she interviewed both the mother of the child and the teacher in charge of classroom for several hours after the incident, however, the teacher who was responsible for the child did not give her any answers. Ms. Calloway stated that the teacher repeatedly stated that she did not know or could not recall information or the sequence of events regarding the incident. Ms. Calloway asked for and received documentation of the incident from the mother of the child, the teacher in the classroom, and the assistant teacher who replaced the teacher after the incident. Ms. Calloway filled out a documentation sheet from her perspective after the incident, and also filled out an incident report, which she stated is corporate policy, even though the child was not injured. She called the corporate office and reported the incident and called the Division to report the incident. This allegation was self-reported. Ms. Calloway stated that the teacher involved in the incident works only part-time in the afternoons and is still employed here. The teacher was not present during this visit, as she does not come to work until after lunch. Based on the above information and observations during today’s visit, there is information to support the allegation and this complaint is substantiated. The following violations were cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 303 Children were not adequately supervised at all times. A three-year-old child was left alone and unsupervised in the bathroom when the teacher took children to another classroom. .1801(a)(1-5) 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. I have asked Ms. Calloway to correct the violation cited during today's visit immediately and send me documentation verifying compliance on or before 04-13-2025. The following information must be included in the letter: • the name of the 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 each violation was corrected You may email the letter to Kelly.healy@dhhs.nc.gov or mail two copies of the letter to: Kelly Healy PO Box 20423 Winston Salem, NC 27120 If you state in the letter that corrections or changes have been made when they have not, this is 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 lead to Administrative Action. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical Assistance: I have observed the bathroom doors and layout with Ms. Calloway today. Every bathroom door has a large window at the top half of the door that the teacher can see through into the bathroom if they stand by the door. Each bathroom door also has an alarm that goes off when the bathroom door is opened. The classroom doors have alarms that sound continuously when the door is opened and that teachers must disarm with a switch located high on the door. I stated that a teacher could assist children going to the bathroom with the door open, by entering the bathroom with the child, or by looking through the window when the child is in the bathroom. Consultation: Ms. Calloway stated she is currently working with the corporate office concerning the incident and any procedures or policies that should be improved. She stated that the teacher in charge of the group did not follow the policies and procedures because she signed the child out of the computer without seeing the child leave with the parent, she did not know the whereabouts of the child, and she did not visually supervise the child at all times. Ms. Calloway stated that the current improvement plan for the teacher includes her not being alone with children until further notice. The teacher has been working since the incident with another staff person who is supervising her. Ms. Calloway stated that the teacher has been informed that she will be “retrained” for all job duties according to policies and procedures. Ms. Calloway stated that since the incident, she has had all staff complete a training on the computer for Supervision and that each employee completed the training in front of Ms. Calloway. Each employee signed that they completed the training and Ms. Calloway has given me the signed document that shows the staff took the training. Ms. Calloway stated that she required each staff person who works in the center to physically demonstrate a successful transition from one space to another and stated that the center’s phrase is “one foot in, one foot out”. Ms. Calloway gave the example of a class going from the playground to the classroom and stated that in addition to a teacher having one foot in, one foot out, each staff member has to have their back against the door and must match a face to name on the transition paper; just counting children is not allowed. She stated that in the classroom where the incident occurred, the teacher uses a hula hoop on the floor inside the door and states out loud “(child’s name) jumps in the hula hoop” as each child comes through the door. She stated that she did not know why the teacher did not do this on the day of the incident and the teacher does not answer this question when she is asked. An Administrative Action may be recommended. This visit summary was reviewed with Ms. Calloway. I have thanked Ms. Calloway for her time and assistance with this visit.
