The last sanitation report was conducted February 26, 2024, with a superior status. The last fire inspection was conducted on September 12, 2024. A walk-through of the classroom was completed today. The indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in both the indoor and outdoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were participating in group time, routine free play, transitions, and personal care routines. The teachers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. Rated license requirements were reviewed to ensure compliance was maintained with current program and education components as well as the quality point. Five staff files were reviewed for compliance.

A completed file was not available for review. G.S. 110-91( 9) 1757 A valid qualification letter was not on file and available to review at the facility.

Organization is very important and needed to maintain compliance. Today we spent a lot of time locating paperwork. I highly suggest maintaining all the files for your program in one central location. All the teachers should be aware of its location and what is needed to maintain compliance. All teacher’s and children’s files should be complete and ready for review at all times. Keep all inspections and trainings together. Come time for your compliance visit it will be best to designate one or two teachers to help your consultant navigate through the necessary paperwork. At least one staff member should know where all the files and inspections are located. Do not miss deadlines. I suggest your teachers meet at least every other month to ensure files are current and up to date.
