Upon arrival I was greeted by the front desk staff and I shared the reason for the visit. New Program Coordinator, Mr. J. Lamar accompanied me throughout the walk-through of the facility and the outdoor learning environments. Your program currently operates with a Five (5) Star Center License. The license was posted, with restrictions to: first (1st) shift care, meets enhanced space, meets enhanced ratios, serves school age children only, only second graders (2nd) and above on the second (2nd) floor, meets reduced ratios, and no children in the kitchen for any reason. Ownership: The facility is owned by the Union County School Board. If any changes to the ownership need to be made, you must notify your consultant at least thirty (30) days prior to any changes occurring. The license cannot be bought, sold, subleased, transferred to another person or location or inherited. I used the Child Care Center Item Number Listing as a basic monitoring tool to assess compliance with all applicable childcare requirements pertinent to this facility and the Annual Compliance Monitoring Checklist for Child Care Centers. I monitored the following items today: supervision, staff/child ratio, staff, health, safety, and program records. The facility has the following spaces licensed, gymnasium, cafeteria, outdoor playground, Trailer #1, Media Center and two internal classrooms. Currently, the After School program is only able to utilize the two (2) internal classrooms every other quarter so they were not monitored as they have not used them after being licensed. Program Records: We reviewed all the required records and were in compliance. The following Department of Public Instruction (DPI) verification forms were monitored and found to be complete and upto-date: 1. Staff Records Verification Form 2. Staff Criminal Records Verification Form 3. Children’s Records Verification Form I did review one staff file, reminded Mr. Lamar to verify Human Resources has all applicable information and add that staff member to the off-site verification form. Inspections: All inspections were monitored, and inspection dates are listed below. •Fire drill was conducted on 3/7/25 •Emergency drill was conducted on 9/5/24. •Fire inspection was completed on 9/19/24. •Playground inspection was completed on 2/27/25.. •Sanitation inspection was conducted on 11/12/24 and received a Superior classification. Indoor Learning Environment: I observed children in the indoor learning environment and the following items were posted in the classrooms that were monitored: Daily schedules, activity plans, staff/child ratio worksheets, emergency numbers, emergency procedures, arrival/departure procedures, summary of law and menus. Children were observed arriving from end of school activities, transitioning to age based groups for snack, homework time, indoor gross motor activities and free choice center time. Outdoor Learning Environment: The outdoor learning environments were monitored and in compliance. While the safe protective surface remains in compliance, it would be best practice to add more mulch within the next few weeks, to maintain the appropriate depth and maintain safety. Please continue to check structures for nix in paint, and areas in disrepair. Staff Records: The staff-training worksheet was completed prior to the visit. Children’s Records: There are fifty-four (54)children enrolled in this center. There were forty-three (43) in attendance today. The Off-Site Verification forms were completed for each child enrolled and there were no discrepancies observed. Medication: The facility reported they did not have any emergency medication on site.

The menu and allergy listing were posted and for snack the children were having baked cheese curls and 100% (one-hundred) percent juice. Weapons: Your facility reported that they were in compliance during today’s visit with Child Care Requirements regarding firearms.

The violation is as follows: Violation Number Comment Rule 1811 Shelter-in-place or lockdown drills were not practiced every three months and/or drill record was incomplete. The last emergency drill was completed in 9/5/24. .0604(u);.0302(d)(8) The violations not corrected during the visit must be corrected immediately.
