When completing a playground inspection each month be sure to look for mulch at the bottom of slides. This is where children land on their bottoms and need plenty of cushion under them, so injury does not occur. There is a picnic table outside that one piece of wood needs to be replaced due to weather it has caused the wood to raise up. In the S/A classroom there is a carpet strip that is raised and this is a tripping hazard. This will need to be tacked down again.

Name of Operation: Love's Childcare Center 2 Facility ID: 29000768 Consultant: RENA MCCAFFREY Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 7/23/2025 Number Present: 28 Completed Date: 7/23/2025 Age: From 1 To 5 Total Minutes: 120 Time In: 09:15 AM Time Out: 11:15 AM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Routine Unannounced Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today's Routine Unannounced visit was to monitor compliance with Applicable Child Care Requirements. This facility currently operates with a Three-Star Child Care License that was issued on August 30, 2024. The last Sanitation Inspection was completed on February 27, 2025, with a "Superior" classification and seven (7) demerits. The last Fire Inspection was conducted on February 11, 2025, and the facility was approved for daytime care only. The last Fire Drill was conducted on July 1, 2025. The last Lock Down/ Shelter-in-Place was on May 30, 2025. The last Playground Inspection was conducted on July 14, 2025. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the Program Director, Ms. Robin Collins. I completed a walk-through of the facility with the director, where attendance was documented, and observations were made. The four-year-old class were observed participating free play in centers and the toddlers were getting ready to go outside. Today, a partial assessment of applicable child care requirements was conducted, which included license posted, permit restrictions, supervision, staff/child ratio, qualified criminal background checks, staff training and general safety. The following violations were cited, and technical assistance was offered. Violation Number Comment Rule 488 For children under three years of age, materials were not offered in sufficient quantity to allow all children to use them at some time during the day and to allow for a range of choices. In the toddler classroom there were not enough toys and materials for children to engage in. .0510(e)(3) 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children. There is a tree with large raised roots that are a tripping hazard to children. I suggested spraying them with some orange paint to make them more visible to the children. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(a) 843 A drug or medicine was administered after its expiration date. In the toddler classroom a permission to administer form expired on 6/12/25 for a "But Paste" diaper cream. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(1)(d) 1873 The Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy was not reviewed with existing staff who care for children ages 0-5 within 30 days of adopting the policy. Ms. A. Campbell did not receive this review of Shaken Baby Syndrome upon hire. .0608 (d) The above violations must be corrected immediately. A Corrective Action 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 5:00 PM August 2, 2025. 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 at my office by 5:00 PM August 2, 2025, 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. 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. Technical Assistance: Today we discussed that medical permission forms must be checked on a regular basis for expiration dates. This ensures that you have updated authorization to administer diaper cream, ointments or medications. Having teachers check them monthly is good practice. As new employees join your facility it is very important that Shaken Baby Syndrome is reviewed with them. This is something that can cause lifelong damage to a child’s brain simply by shaking a child. Therefore, staff must be made aware of this on day one of the hire. Conducting playground inspections monthly is preventing accidents before they occur. Today I noticed that a large oak tree has very large roots that are raised and are a tripping hazard for children. Even though removing the roots could cause damage to the tree, you can help the children be more aware of them by spraying the roots with some orange paint. Toddlers can be at a very active age, and they require age-appropriate materials to keep them engaged. Changing out toys can also help keep children engaged. When children play with the same materials every day, they can become bored, and this is when challenging behaviors can arise. Planning activities and singing songs are a great way to help them learn about the world around them. This will also help the teachers keep up with this high energy and very curious minds at work. Reminders: Ms. J. Williams first aid and CPR training will expire in December of this year. UP-DATES: Checkout our “What’s New” at DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov .

Please make sure all children have a signed and dated permission form from the parent to administer medication. Please make sure all activity plans are current and posted for parents to see.

COMPLIANCE HISTORY When you receive your Child Care License from the State of NC, you are agreeing to comply at all times with the Law, Rules and Requirements pertaining to and governing Child Care in NC. It is your responsibility to read, learn, and maintain all Child Care Requirements that apply to your licensed facility. It is also your responsibility to ask Division staff questions for clarification of requirements you do not understand and to monitor your staff to ensure that all requirements are maintained at all times. RATED LICENSE APPLICATION INFORMATION Today we reviewed the process for completing the Environmental Rating Scales (ERS) with Ms. Collins. An (ERS) Assessment Request form was completed by Ms. Collins (a copy was given to the center director) during today’s visit. We suggested that her employee's use the 3-month self-reflective study as a general guideline to follow. The quality point sheet was reviewed and left with Ms. Collins during today's visit. We informed them that they can only choose one quality point option. Once you have achieved a full six (6) months of operation, your program will be eligible for a Voluntary Enhanced Rated License. The award of this Rated License will occur at the end of the 6-month Temporary License Time Period. The following information will be discussed in more detail during the next visit. The Optional Rated License Assessment Process: 1) Please go to the NCRLAP website, www.ncrlap.org, to learn more about the Environmental Rating Scale Process. 2) Please ensure that all new staff member’s education information is current in the W.O.R.K.S. database. Each staff member must register in the WORKS system as soon as they are hired at this location. Education evaluations can take some time to process so beginning the process early will help to ensure we have the accurate information needed when it is time to complete the rated license assessment before the end of the temporary time period. You may also want to consider having staff members complete the Early Educator Certification process (www.ncicdp.org) to assist in getting higher education evaluations completed if their degree is not in early childhood education.
