Laura McIntyre, FCCH provider assisted me with today’s visit. Your program currently operates with a four-star license, issued December 8, 2022, earning 7 points in the education component, 2 points in the program standards component (completed 3- month self-study) and 1 quality point for obtaining an infant/ toddler certificate. Your last annual compliance visit was conducted on July 16, 2025. Your fire inspection remains current, is dated September 4, 2025, and was approved for daytime and nighttime care. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was 99% as of today. License restrictions were maintained and found in compliance. I observed children in their indoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the FCCH were playing in centers, participating in transitions, teacher directed activities, and personal care routines. You interacted and met the developmental needs of each child. You interacted with the children on their level. Lunch consisted of chicken, rice, sweet peas, apple sauce and milk. The following violation was documented and corrected during the visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 910 Copy of each child's health assessment, including the operator's own preschool child(ren), was not on file within 30 days of enrollment. One child was enrolled 9/2/25. The child's health assessment is dated 10/14/26. The provider stated that all health assessments are required to be on file within 30 days of enrollment. Starting today, if a child's health assessment is not on file within 30 days the child will not be able to return until it is. GS 110-91(1); 10A NCAC 09.1721(a)(1) Rated License During a TEAMS meeting on 3/20/26 and an in-person meeting on 5/2/26, we thoroughly discussed and reviewed the forms below for programmatic pathway 2. Personalized suggestions for your program were given, questions answered and hard copies of the below forms were made available for you to take home. • Application For Assessment for a Rated License for a FCCH- You stated that you will submit your application by the beginning of July. • Family and Community Engagement Standards Family Child Care Homes- TBD • Family Child Care Home (FCCH) Operator Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Plan and Professional Development (PD) Plan • Approved Curriculum- TBD- Formative Assessment- TBD • Pathway 2 – Classroom & Instructional Quality - You have an AAS/EC and 21 years of experience in Early Childhood – make sure to send me a copy of your WORKS status letter. - You have chosen annual completion of five on-going training hours, in addition to applicable requirements in Rule .1703(f) of this Chapter and Rule .3217 of this Section. You are currently operating with a 4-Star license and stated that you wish to remain a 4-star. Pending a full review and your responses, you may qualify for a 4-star license. Technical Assistance was given on the Following: I highly suggest the center strengthen its portfolio by organizing documentation around practices it already implements consistently, such as annual or biannual family outreach events, resource distribution efforts, and ongoing professional development planning for staff. These existing strengths should be compiled into clearly labeled sections within the binder to demonstrate intentional family engagement, staff growth, and continuous quality improvement. Recommended sections include: (1) Family Outreach and Engagement, containing flyers, sign in sheets, photos, and summaries of outreach events; ( 2) Family Resource Supports, including samples of materials shared with families and documentation of partnerships; (3) Professional Development Plans, with individual staff plans, certificates, and reflections; and (4) Continuous Improvement, highlighting areas the center has already identified for growth and the steps taken to address them. Organizing these materials with dated cover sheets, brief summaries, and checklists will help the child care consultant quickly verify materials with dated cover sheets, brief summaries, and checklists will help the child care consultant quickly verify alignment with Pathway 2 expectations and will showcase the center’s ongoing commitment to quality in Scotland County. The above is not a requirement but an organizational pro-tip. Room Arrangement When arranging your play area make sure that adequate supervision is maintained at all times. Make sure you can see the children over cubbies and around corners. Children can be overlooked or get into unnecessary predicaments when providers are unable to account for each child during routine scans of the room. FYI Through collaborative efforts, the Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE), and the North Carolina Child Care Health and Safety Resource Center, a program of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, are excited to announce that the CCDF Health and Safety trainings are now available in the DCDEE Moodle learning platform.

If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000). All information in this report has been reviewed with me today.I understand that it is my responsibility to maintaincompliance with applicable NC Child Care Requirements at all times

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance was given on the following: ABCMS Portal As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. 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. 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. 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 child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care 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. The above information is for FCCH and Centers. All providers, administrators, directors, teachers, residents, and anyone else that may come into contact with the children will need to be added to the portal. Make sure to have your ABCMS roster on file and ready for review. Violations are currently being cited if you have not added all personnel and/or family members to the roster. This includes yourself as well. You must add new people to the list within 5 days of hire or moving in. Here are a few tips: • When you complete your ABCMS Moodle training, you will fill out a form with your business NCID and wait for an email to provide you with access to your provider portal. • When you have access, you will provide a code to your employees so they can fill out an application. • They will be required to upload their license or other picture ID. You will see them on your roster and hire them or not. • Hiring them will generate your roster. • Let me know if I may be of further assistance. I will need to confirm that your roster is current when I make a visit. Make sure to send your Verification of Required Information for Operator and Additional Caregivers form to your consultant by April 2026. Having your worksheets ready and submitted prior to your annual visit will save time during your next annual compliance visit. Make sure to add any new staff to your worksheet at hire. Stay updated by adding new information as it is acquired. Make sure to always print off the most updated forms from the DCDEE website.
