A checklist was used to note the requirements I monitored today. The staff/training worksheets were received and monitored during the visit. Today’s visit was completed with V. Kornegay, Administrator. The last annual compliance visit was conducted May 8, 2024. The last sanitation inspection was completed on February 25, 2025, with a “Superior” classification. The last fire inspection was conducted on March 25, 2025, and the program was approved for day time care only.

The center is owned and operated by Greene Lamp, (non-profit corporation) with a current-active status based on today’s research in the North Carolina Secretary of State database. This corporation owns the center, which means a Current/Active status must always be maintained. I observed children participating in routines, group activities, free indoor and outdoor play, and completing transitions. All interactions were observed to be positive and nurturing and adequate supervision was provided to all children in care. The visit summary was reviewed with you at the conclusion of the visit and a copy was provided to you. I used the Annual Compliance Monitoring Checklist for Child Care and the Child Care Center Item Number Listing (DCD 0357) as a basic monitoring tool to assess compliance with all applicable child care requirements. The following violations of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference.

Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your type of program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with the applicable laws and rules; always whether they have been monitored or specifically discussed with you in the past. The best way for you to ensure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the child care laws and rules on the Division of Child Development and Early Education’s website. DCDEE WORKS: Please continue to keep your Staff and Training worksheets up to date. Update the worksheets when changes are made, such as hiring new staff, additional coursework, and completed training. If the education information is not in the “WORKS” system when the star-rated license is reassessed it could affect the points in Education Standards. Please contact the WORKS department if you have questions on what is needed.
