Children and staff were participating in group “chat” time, transitions for handwashing, and snack. Limited monitoring of staff files was conducted for the purpose of reviewing training regarding CPR/First Aid, EPR, Playground Safety, and Special Training. The last monthly fire drill was practiced on September 11, 2025. The last lockdown drill was practiced on August 21, 2025. The following violation(s) were observed today: Violation Number Comment Rule 1805 A child care operator did not notify the Division of any new child care providers, as defined in G.S. 110-90.2(a)(2), who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days.

Technical assistance on violations was reviewed with you. Areas discussed included: All McDowell YMCA employees are listed on the YMCA West Marion Afterschool provider portal facility roster, as staff rotates to different sites within the county. The ABCMS provider portal facility roster was reviewed and the two employees at the program are not listed. This information must be updated in ABCMS on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-8401. The person identified as the person or alternate person responsible for carrying out the emergency medical care plan must on the premises at all times. Your emergency medical care plan dated 8/22/25, had a listed person/alternate person responsible for contacting a medical resource, a listed person/alternate person in center responsible for determining appropriate transportation that were not on premises. Since your staff rotates to different sites, I suggest that you list multiple staff members as a person or alternate for emergency care, to ensure that someone is always on premises.

Child care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score.
