Children were participating in free play, and afternoon drop off. I observed children engaged in fine motor activities, reading activities and individual routines. In space #B1-1, I observed crib sheets that loosely fitted. I reviewed with the staff member to ensure that crib sheets are tightly fitted as listed in the safe sleep policy. In space #B1-1, I also asked the teacher which crib was used for evacuation, she shared the one closest to the diaper changing table was the evacuation crib. I did not observe any labels or indicators such as red, solid steel gusset plates to identify the evacuation crib. After further review of the rule, a new crib does not need to be purchased but labeling it as the evacuation crib and ensuring it meets the following in Ch. 9 on page 16: 10A NCAC 09 .0604 (r) When non-ambulatory children are in care, a crib or other device shall be available for evacuation in case of fire or other emergency. The crib or other device shall be fitted with wheels in order to be moveable, have a reinforced bottom, and shall be able to fit through the designated fire exit. For centers that do not meet NC Building Code for institutional occupancy as described in 10A NCAC 09 .1301, and have an exit more than eight inches above grade, the center shall develop a written plan to ensure a safe evacuation of the crib or other device. The operator shall submit the plan to the Division for review. The Division shall approve the plan and shall require a demonstration of the center implementing the plan during a drill.

Name of Operation: CHRIST BIBLE TEACHING CENTER #2 Facility ID: 90000159 Consultant: ABIGAIL AVALOS Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 11/8/2023 Number Present: 17 Completed Date: 11/8/2023 Age: From 0 To 4 Total Minutes: 60 Time In: 09:40 AM Time Out: 10:40 AM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Unannounced Visit Follow-Up Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today's unannounced visit is to follow up on a routine unannounced visit conducted on 10/30/23 with a focus on staff/child ratios. Upon arrival I was greeted by Ms. Thomas, teacher. I shared the reason for the visit, and then Ms. Trena Allen, director came over to building #2 where I shared the reason for the visit. I monitored the following items: supervision, staff/child ratios, approved space, and permit restrictions. I received the facility’s compliance letter on 11/2/23 and all violations have been confirmed corrected. On the walkthrough I observed staff/child ratios in compliance. All licensed spaces have an updated staff/child ratio poster with the appropriate box selected, “voluntary enhanced requirements”. Children were participating in bathroom transitions and outdoor play. During the walkthrough I observed two (2) children laying down in a wagon. One (1) child was an infant, and it was reported that he had been asleep for 10-15 minutes in the wagon. It was reported that the other child had also been asleep, but their eyes were open. I shared with the teacher to ensure that once infants fall asleep on any device (seat, bouncer, swing, wagon, highchair etc.) to immediately move them into their crib, whether that is indoors or outdoors. The teacher helped the child who was awake and removed them from the wagon and I asked her to take the infant child inside to transfer them to their crib. I reviewed the importance of following the safe sleep policy with both the teacher and the director, this was corrected during the visit. One (1) violation was cited and corrected during the visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 871 Center staff did not comply with the safe sleep policy. I observed an infant child asleep in a wagon. 10A NCAC 09 .0606(a) The program’s compliance history was eighty percent (80%) prior to today’s visit. Technical Assistance: Staff/child ratios need to be in compliance at all times. For nap time, children who are 2 years old cannot move to the infant classroom unless infants under the age of 1-year old are not present. Each licensed space needs a teacher supervising each group of children during nap time. This means that one (1) teacher cannot supervise both classrooms in building #1 nor one (1) teacher supervising both groups in building #2. A lunch schedule needs to be created to break all your teachers all while still maintaining your ratios. Some strategies to implement including starting lunches early and having staff return on time. Rule Reminders: 10A NCAC 09 .0713 STAFF/CHILD RATIOS FOR CENTERS (1) when combining age groups, the staff/child ratio for the youngest child in the group shall be maintained for the entire group; (2) children of all ages may be cared for together in groups for the first and last operating hour of the day, provided the staff/child ratio for the youngest child in the group is maintained; (3) a child two years of age and older may be placed with children under one year of age when a physician certifies that the developmental age of the child makes this placement appropriate; (4) when determined to be developmentally appropriate by the operator and parent, a child age two or older may be placed one age level above his or her chronological age without affecting the staff/child ratio for that group. This provision shall be limited to one child per group; (5) except as provided in Subparagraphs (2) and (3) of this Paragraph, children under one year of age shall be kept separate from children two years of age and over; (6) except as provided in Subparagraph (2) of this Paragraph, children between the ages of 12 months and 24 months shall not be grouped with older children unless all children in the group are less than three years of age; (7) when only one caregiver is required to meet the staff/child ratio and no children under two years of age are in care, that caregiver may concurrently perform food preparation or other duties that are not direct child care responsibilities as long as supervision of the children as specified in 10A NCAC 09 .1801 is maintained; (8) except as provided in Subparagraph (7) of this Paragraph, staff members and child care administrators who are counted in meeting the staff/child ratios as stated in this Rule shall not concurrently perform food preparation or other duties that are not direct child care responsibilities; and (9) when only one caregiver is required to meet the staff/child ratio, the operator shall select one of the following options for emergency relief: (A) the center shall post the name, address, and telephone number of an adult who has agreed in writing to be available to provide emergency relief; or (B) there shall be a second adult on the premises who is available to provide emergency relief. (10) the staff/child ratio applicable to a classroom as described in this Paragraph shall be posted in that classroom in an area that parents are able to view at all times. 10A NCAC 09 .1801 SUPERVISION IN CHILD CARE CENTERS (b) For groups of children aged two years or older, the staff/child ratio during nap time shall comply with the requirements of this Chapter if at least one person remains in the room, all children are visible to that person, and the total number of required staff are on the premises and within calling distance of the rooms occupied by children. Please review the safe sleep policy with all staff who work with infants. I recommend to have staff complete a training refresher on safe sleep practices, some trainings to consider can be found on the CCRI training catalog and reaching out to your Child Care Health Consultants in Union County. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was printed, reviewed, and a copy was left with you.
