Rated license requirements were reviewed to ensure compliance was maintained with current program and education components as well as the quality point. There were two new staff.

Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before September 27, 2023, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected.

If you email the compliance letter, it must be sent from the email address registered with the DCDEE (this serves as your signature) and the following information must be included: name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance: Please be reminded that you can only be counted in the staff: child ratio with children in the licensed NC Pre-K program if you have a Criminal Background qualifying letter issued through DCDEE. The North Carolina Child Care Law (General Statute 110-90.2) requires a criminal background check (CBC) be conducted and a determination of fitness be made on all persons who work or provide child care in a licensed or regulated child care facility. Please refer to https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Home/DCDEE-Sections/Criminal-Background-Check-Unit/Basic-Information for additional information. During today’s visit we discussed the process of completing your formative assessments for the first checkpoint ending next month. One systematic way to complete your child assessment is to focus on a fraction of the objectives for learning each day and document observation notes while the children are in center play. Another way is to document observation notes during intentional teaching activities and mighty minute transition activities. The objectives for learning are listed at the top of the Creative Curriculum Card. The purpose of suggested studies is to provide information about common areas of interest as an aid for you to plan activities but you do have the freedom to create your own study. Here is an example of how one teacher incorporated the children’s interest of trains into a study unit.
