An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance: During today’s visit I entered classroom #1 and the assistant teacher and a substitute were with the children. They stated that the Lead Teacher was in an IEP meeting. I observed as they transitioned the children outside to the playground. I walked with them and recorded the substitutes’ name to confirm that she was on the NCPre-K off-site records form and that she had with the required on-site information. I verified that her Criminal Record Check Qualifying Letter was expired. Her additional records were not available for review. There were 14 children with the Lead Teacher in Classroom #2. The Assistant Teacher was not present in the classroom. She returned approximately ten minutes later. She stated that she was making copies. Another teacher from a second-grade classroom entered the classroom and relieved the Lead teacher so she could attend an IEP meeting. I verified that the substitute did have a current Criminal Record Check Qualifying Letter. However, she was not listed on the off-site records verification form to confirm that she met all substitute requirements. Her required on-site records were not available for review. A substitute records checklist was printed for you for your convenience. According to 10A NCAC 09 .3009, the classroom shall not exceed a maximum staff-to-child ratio of one to nine with a maximum class size of 18 children, with at least one teacher and one teacher assistant per classroom. A classroom of nine children or less shall have at least one teacher.
