The last Annual Compliance visit was conducted on January 24, 2025. The facility currently operates with a GS-110 Notice of Compliance that was issued on February 6, 2009.

The last Lock Down/ Shelter-in-Place was on November 24, 2025. The last Playground Inspection was conducted on December 11, 2025. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the director, Amanda Lambert. I stated the purpose of my visit and was assisted on a walkthrough of the facility where attendance was documented, and observations made. The children were observed having snack time and engaged in teacher instruction. A checklist was used to note the requirements I monitored today. During today's visit, I completed a full assessment of applicable Child Care Requirements; license posted, restrictions maintained, staff/child ratio and adequate approved space. Program Records and Criminal Background Checks were also monitored. Staff and Children’s files were monitored as well as Emergency Drills, Medication, Playground Inspections and Transportation. Today I monitored five children's files, and all were in compliance. This facility provides no transportation, and three children were currently on medication at this time. The following violations were cited and technical assistance was offered. Violation Number Comment Rule 716 All stationary equipment, more than 18 inches high, was not installed over protective surfacing. A large piece of playground equipment need have sufficient mulch placed around the pole and at the bottom of the slide. .0605(j) 721 All equipment and furnishings were not in good repair. The S-hooks on the swings were coming apart and need to be repaired. The paint is chipping on the six seat bouncy equipment and has caused rust to appear. G.S. 110-91(6); .0601(b) 847 Parent's medication authorization did not include required information. One child did not have all the required information on the form. There was no ending date on permission to administer medication or pediatrician contact name and phone number. This was for an over the counter cough syrup from Hylands Cough and Cold Day Time medication. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(4)(6-9) 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 5:00 PM December 30, 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 to my office by 5:00 PM December 30, 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. 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 the playground needed mulch around the bottom of the slide and of the pole. Paint was chipping on the six seated bouncy equipment and was rusted. This will need some sanding down and repainting. The S-hooks on the swings were coming loose and could cause the chain to come off the s hook and cause the child to fall to the ground. Today we discussed some options for repairing this. One child that was on a cough medicine needed to complete a new medication form in its entirety. The medication form must have a start and end date on the form as well as the child’s pediatrician name and contact information should any allergic reaction from the medication arise. You and your staff were provided with an opportunity to ask questions regarding interpretation and implementation of all child care requirements. Reminders: Today we discussed sending out information to all parents that have chosen not to vaccinate their child that in the event of an outbreak example(measles) they must keep their child at home until the outbreak in the school is over. This will give the parents time to prepare for this event should it arise. Check out our “What’s New” at DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov .
