Technical Assistance: During today’s visit the infant classroom only had two feeding schedule posted and there were 4 children enrolled. Several children were under the age of 15 months. The facility is required to have a feeding schedule up to 15 months of age that has been signed and dated by the parents upon enrollment. This form is to update the child’s eating habits change. All classrooms must have a current lesson plan of activities available at the start of the week for parents to know what their children are learning for the week. There was a broken soap dispenser in space 3 that needs repairing. All equipment and furnishings must be in good repair. All records must be always made available to the consultant. Today I could not access staff, children’s or vehicles and inspections of the facility. This is a repeat violation. There must be someone available to unlock the office and assist the consultants with records when needed. Upon arrival in the school-age classroom Ms. Lelia was cooking and watching the children at the same time. This is repeat violation. A staff member cannot complete cooking duties and supervise children at the same time. You and your staff were provided with an opportunity to ask questions regarding interpretation and implementation of all child care requirements. Child care licensing rules and regulations are established to ensure a safe and healthy environment for children in care. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your program. It is your responsibility to always maintain compliance with all the applicable laws and rules. The best way for you to make sure that you meet all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules. Both are available on the DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ on the home page under the ‘Services’ tab. Due to the director not being present during today’s visit and staff and children’s files were not made available to the consultant I will return to another visit to complete the Annual Compliance with Rated License visit. If you have further questions or concerns, I can be reached at rena.mccaffrey@dhhs.nc.gov or by calling; 336-580-5670. You may also contact my supervisor, Kaye Adkins at kaye.adkins@dhhs.nc.gov. 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).

The letter can be emailed to rena.mccaffrey@dhhs.nc.gov. If a letter of compliance is not received by my office by August 2, 2025, before 5:00 PM, a return visit may be conducted to ensure the violations cited have been corrected or addressed. Additional violation may be documented if each violation has not been properly corrected or otherwise addressed. Please be aware that any information received during this monitoring visit and any violations cited may be included in any future administrative actions. Violations of child care requirements, particularly repeated violations, could result in a civil penalty and/or administrative action that could jeopardize the status of the license for the child care facility. Technical Assistance: Today we discussed that a teacher cannot be responsible for monitoring children in a class and cooking at the same time. This is a repeat violation. The cook must be aware of all food allergies when serving meals, therefore an allergy list must be posted in the kitchen and updated as needed. We discussed that the van’s fire extinguisher must be mounted because the extinguisher is pressurized and if the driver were to brake suddenly it could be a projectile and or explode. This places the driver and children in jeopardy of getting hurt. All first aid kits must be monitored for items that children cannot receive. Today there was Motrin, Neosporin, in this first aid kit. Under the seat was a Prestone de-icer with child warnings on it and hand sanitizer with warnings on it. Any item with a child warning label on it must be locked up and 5 feet off the ground. The playground has a large climbing structure on it for school aged children to use. This structure had two inches of mulch at the bottom of the slides and steps. Having the required amount of surfacing around this equipment keeps a child safe from a fall from height. Today we discussed that the sand box had tall grass inside it, and this is a place for snakes to harbor. We discussed that taking attendance everyday is very important for an emergency evacuation event. The teacher needs to know how many children and which children are present to know who they are caring for. Inservice training is so important for teachers to get updates on new rules and procedures. They give new insight into teaching and provide new ideas for lesson plans; therefore, the required amount of in-service training must be done on an annual basis. Health and Safety training is required every five years; first aid and CPR are every two years and ITS-SIDS training every three years. All these training courses provide vital information to keep children safe. Summer camp field trips require authorization to transport children and permission to take a child to a specific place. Each parent must give this permission before any field trips are taken. Today the field trip to the Skating rink had to be canceled because permission to transport or to attend the field trip to the skating rink was not provided by the parent. When parents fill out their child’s application it must be completed with all the information required and signed and dated. The information provides important phone numbers, medical information and other vital information that the staff needs to be aware of to keep the child safe. All school age children are required to have an immunization record or letter of decline to provide immunizations to their child. You and your staff were provided with an opportunity to ask questions regarding interpretation and implementation of all child care requirements. Child care licensing rules and regulations are established to ensure a safe and healthy environment for children in care. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your program. It is your responsibility to always maintain compliance with all the applicable laws and rules. The best way for you to make sure that you meet all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules.

Name of Operation: FIRST BAPTIST CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER Facility ID: 29000471 Consultant: RENA MCCAFFREY Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0324-118L Visit Date: 3/12/2024 Number Present: 11 Completed Date: 3/12/2024 Age: From 0 To 4 Total Minutes: 90 Time In: 12:00 PM Time Out: 01:30 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s visit was to investigate allegations of non-compliance with the NC Child Care Licensing Requirements received by the agency on March 11, 2024. When I arrived at the facility, I was greeted by the cook, L. Williams. When she met me at the front door she had an infant in her arms. I explained the purpose of today’s visit and asked if the Administrator was present. Ms. Williams explained that neither Cynthia Kerns, Director, nor Cornelia Bailey, Interim Director, was present. Ms. Williams called the interim director Cornelia Bailey and let her know I was at the center. Ms. Williams explained that the teachers had gone to lunch and would be back soon. Ms. Williams was supervising two classrooms, the infants, and the one additional classroom when I arrived. The infant teacher, Ms. Angie, arrived seven (7) minutes after I did. I conducted an unassisted walkthrough of the facility and recorded enrollment. Limited monitoring of childcare requirements occurred during today’s visit. I monitored supervision, staff/child ratio, adequate/approved space. During today’s visit I discussed the allegations with Ms. Williams, and she was given an opportunity to provide information surrounding the allegations. Allegation # 1: There is a concern that the posted staff/child ratio is not being followed in the classroom for three and four-year-old children. According to the reporter one provider was responsible for eleven (11) children ranging in age from one year old to four years old on 3/8/24. Observation: During today’s visit I observed Ms. Williams supervising two classrooms when I arrived; the infants, and a second classroom with children ranging in age from one year to four-year-old years of age. During today’s visit the ratios were as follows: Space 1. There were three (3) infants. All the children in this room were under 12 months of age. Space 2. This room is currently not in use. Space 3. This room had eight (8) children in the classroom. Children ranged in age from one year to four years of age. Space 4. No children present, children were combined in space 3. Space 5. School age room, no children present. Nine (9) children enrolled. Today, I asked each staff member for their daily work schedules and their full names and dates of birth so that I could check their qualifying letters to see if they were current. I was unable to check staff or children’s files because the front office where they are kept was locked and none of the staff present had a key. CONCLUSION: Based on information received from the staff, the reporter, and my own observations, the finding regarding this allegation is Substantiated. Allegation #2: There is a concern of inadequate supervision in the classroom for three- and four-year-old children. According to the reporter eleven children ranging in age from one (1) year to four (4) years of age were left unattended in two separate classrooms for 30 minutes on March 8, 2024. Observation: During today’s visit I observed Ms. Williams supervising two classrooms; the three and four-year-old classroom and the infant classroom. Once Ms. Williams came down the hall to let me in the front door neither the infant room nor three- and four-year-old room had a teacher present. CONCLUSION: Based on information received today from the staff, the reporter and my own observations, the finding regarding this allegation is Substantiated. I advised the cook to not leave the children in the preschool age classroom after the infant teacher came back to the facility. The cook stated she would not leave. The following violations were observed during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 303 Children were not adequately supervised at all times. On 3/8/24 two classroom of children ranging in age from one year to four years of age were left unsupervised during nap time for at least 30 minutes. On 3/12/24, two classrooms of children were left unsupervised during nap time for an undetermined period of time. .1801(a)(1-5) 306 When children under the age of two were in care, the only caregiver required to meet the staff/child ratio was responsible for other duties besides direct child care. On 3/8/24 one staff member was responsible for both kitchen duties and supervising two classrooms of children ranging in age from one year to four years of age during naptime. .0713(a)(7) 317 The staff/child ratios for children, two years and older, during naptime were not maintained by having at least one person in each room, visually supervising all children and the total number of required staff on the premises within calling distance of each room occupied by children. On 3/8/24 two classrooms of children were being supervised by one staff member during naptime. There was only one other staff member present on the premises to supervise three classrooms. On 3/12/24 one staff member was supervising two classrooms of children during naptime. There were no other staff present on the premises during this time. .1801(b) 318 Children between 12 and 24 months of age were grouped with children 3 years of age or older. On 3/8/24 and 3/12/24 children one year of age were grouped with children 3 years of age and older. Repeat violation from Routine Unannounced visit on 3/8/24. 10A NCAC 09 .0713(a)(6) 1739 All records required were not available for review by a representative of the Division. On 3/18/24 and 3/12/24 records were unavailable for review because staff present at the facility did not have a key to the office where records are stored. .2318(1-8) The above violations must be corrected immediately. A Corrective Action Letter must be drafted with the name of your facility, the facility identification number, and your signature. The letter must be received by my office on, or before March 25, 2024. The letter should include each item number of noncompliance cited, describe how and when the violations were corrected. Please include accompanying documentation of compliance. The letter can be emailed to rena.mccaffrey@dhhs.nc.gov . If a compliance letter is not received by my office by March 25, 2024, a return visit may be conducted to ensure the violations cited have been corrected or addressed. Additional violations may be documented if each violation has not been properly corrected or otherwise addressed. Please be aware that any information received during this monitoring visit and any violations cited may be included in any future administrative actions. Violations of child care requirements, particularly repeated violations, could result in a civil penalty and/or administrative action that could jeopardize the status of the license for the child care facility. Technical Assistance: Today the cook was responsible for supervising the children during their naptime, however the kitchen staff cannot be responsible for performing kitchen duties and supervising the children at the same time. If the cook had completed her kitchen duties, then she could be used for coverage during staff lunches if she was in ratio. The person covering a classroom must be in the classroom and not in the hallway and cannot be responsible for more than one classroom at a time. All children’s records must be made available in the event of an emergency.
