An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance was given on the following: Ensuring Adequate Lighting During Naptime Maintaining enough light in each classroom during rest time is an essential part of safe supervision. Children must be visible from head to toe, and staff must be able to clearly see each child’s face, breathing pattern, and body position at all times. When rooms are too dark, staff cannot meet supervision expectations, and the risk of delayed response increases. Why Lighting Matters for Safety and Compliance Visibility of Breathing and Body Position Staff must be able to see each child’s chest rise and fall, whether a child has rolled into an unsafe position, or if a blanket has covered the face. Dim lighting makes these cues difficult to detect. Immediate Response to Distress Children may cough, vomit, experience breathing difficulty, or become tangled in bedding. Adequate lighting ensures staff can respond quickly without needing to adjust lights first. Alignment With Active Supervision Active supervision requires scanning, listening, and positioning. Scanning is not possible if children’s faces are not clearly visible. Recommended Lighting Practices for Naptime Use Soft, Consistent Ambient Lighting - Keep overhead lights off if preferred, but use lamps, wall lights, or dimmable fixtures that provide enough brightness to see every child’s face clearly. - Avoid lighting that creates shadows or dark corners. Maintain Visibility Across the Entire Room - Staff should be able to stand at the doorway and see every child’s face without squinting or adjusting their eyes. - If any area of the room is too dark, add a secondary light source. Check Lighting Before Naptime Daily - Conduct a quick “visibility check” before children lie down. - Ensure no curtains, furniture, or equipment block light from reaching cots. Position Staff Strategically - Staff should sit or stand where they can see all children without moving lights or walking around to find darker areas.

Children must be visible from head to toe, and staff must be able to clearly see each child’s face, breathing pattern, and body position at all times. When rooms are too dark, staff cannot meet supervision expectations, and the risk of delayed response increases. Why Lighting Matters for Safety and Compliance Visibility of Breathing and Body Position Staff must be able to see each child’s chest rise and fall, whether a child has rolled into an unsafe position, or if a blanket has covered the face. Dim lighting makes these cues difficult to detect. Immediate Response to Distress Children may cough, vomit, experience breathing difficulty, or become tangled in bedding. Adequate lighting ensures staff can respond quickly without needing to adjust lights first. Alignment With Active Supervision Active supervision requires scanning, listening, and positioning. Scanning is not possible if children’s faces are not clearly visible. Recommended Lighting Practices for Naptime Use Soft, Consistent Ambient Lighting - Keep overhead lights off if preferred, but use lamps, wall lights, or dimmable fixtures that provide enough brightness to see every child’s face clearly. - Avoid lighting that creates shadows or dark corners. Maintain Visibility Across the Entire Room - Staff should be able to stand at the doorway and see every child’s face without squinting or adjusting their eyes. - If any area of the room is too dark, add a secondary light source. Check Lighting Before Naptime Daily - Conduct a quick “visibility check” before children lie down. - Ensure no curtains, furniture, or equipment block light from reaching cots. Position Staff Strategically - Staff should sit or stand where they can see all children without moving lights or walking around to find darker areas.

In addition to eating nutritious foods, mealtimes are an opportunity for learning and developing social and self-help skills. Visit: https://www.fns.usda.gov/cacfp/nutrition-standards, for more information on meal guidelines. Mealtime Environment: Offering a pleasant mealtime environment gives children the opportunity to enhance their social skills by letting them interact with each other.

This is a religious sponsored that operated under a G.S. 110-106. The Notice of Compliance was issued October 28, 2020. The restrictions include daytime care only, children under 2 ½ years old in rooms with direct exits only. Capacity 41. The last annual compliance visit was October 5, 2022. Blair Chavis, director, assisted me with the visit. The last sanitation inspection was conducted on February 23, 2023, earning a superior rating. The last fire inspection was conducted on August 15, 2023. The program’s compliance history was ninety-five (95%) percent as of August 31, 2023. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on August 31, 2023, and Stewartsville Baptist Church, Inc. was listed as current- active. We visited each indoor and outdoor space. Children enrolled were observed in free play in the centers and participating in teacher directed activities. Lunch consisted of cheese pizza, cucumbers, pineapple, and milk. The following violation was observed during the visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 209 Children used space that was not approved. Children were enrolled and using a 4th space that was not approved for use. The children were moved to licensed space. GS 110-91(1)&(4-5) 301 Minimum staff/child ratios and group sizes for the number and ages of children in care were not met. In space #1 there were seven (7) two-year-old children and five (5) 4-year-old children with one caregiver. This was corrected during the visit when the director became an additional caregiver. GS 110-91(7);.0713(a-d) 721 All equipment and furnishings were not in good repair. The four person spring rocker had exposed rust and peeling paint on the equipment. G.S. 110-91(6); .0601(b) 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. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before September 15, 2023, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit will be conducted.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance: Please be reminded that your volunteers without a Criminal Record Check Qualifying Letter cannot be left alone with the children or counted in staff: child ratio. The violations cited today require an automatic follow-up visit in the next two weeks. You must remain in compliance with all rules. Repeat violations of child care requirements can lead to an administrative action. During today’s visit you stated that you had opened another classroom. This classroom has not received the required building and sanitation inspections. A fire inspection was completed to include the fourth classroom on 8/15/23.

You may use the new space when the Notice of Compliance is issued.
