The allegation is as follows: There is a concern that some activities are not developmentally appropriate. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by the Director, J. Brewer. I stated the reason for the visit and the allegation. Additional information received indicated that children two years of age participated in screen time and toddler children did not go outside daily. The Director stated that recently a parent asked if young children were allowed to watch videos. The Director stated she asked the staff member who serves as a floater, and the staff member reported that she had allowed the children two years of age to watch Thomas the Train. The Director explained to the staff member that screen time could not be offered to children under three years of age. The facility held a professional development day on Friday, October 11th and the Director verbally addressed all staff regarding the requirements for screen time. I also spoke with the staff member. She stated that she allowed the children to watch Thomas the Train twice during the week of October 7th for approximately fifteen to twenty minutes each time to calm them down. I also explained that children under the age of three could not participate in screen time activities. During the visit, I observed the children one year of age (toddler classroom) transitioning outside. I spoke with the two Teachers separately regarding their outdoor schedule. Both stated they always went outside in the morning from 10:30 to 11:30 and to the gym in the afternoon from 2:30 to 3:30. However, I reviewed a child’s daily sheet leftover from October 16, 2024, which stated the class did not go outside. I asked both teachers and it was reported that it was cold in the morning and the children didn’t bring jackets, so they didn’t go outside. A walk through the facility was not conducted. However, the Director reported there were a total of forty-six children present today. Based on discussions with the staff and observation of the daily activity sheet from October 16, 2024, the allegation in the report is deemed substantiated. The following violations were cited. Violation Number Comment Rule 498 For children under 2 years of age, a minimum of 30 minutes of outdoor time throughout the day either as part of a small group, whole group, or individual activity was not provided. On October 16, 2024, the group of children one year of age were not taken outside. 10A NCAC 09 . 0508(c) 544 Screen time was offered to children under three years of age. During the week of October 7, 2024, children two years of age participated in screen time by watching Thomas the Train for approximately fifteen to twenty minutes each time. .0510(f) 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 violations documented may impact the compliance history score. The violations documented must be corrected immediately. On or before October 31, 2024, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is considered legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit may be completed. Mail or email the information to: Kaye Dunlap, Child Care Consultant PO Box 627 Matthews, NC 28106 Kaye.Dunlap@dhhs.nc.gov The following technical assistance was provided: -A discussion was held with the Director regarding the use of screen time. Teachers should avoid using screen time to calm children down. The facility should focus on physical activity and positive social interactions with peers and staff during the day. Screen time limits interactions and play activities. I would suggest training regarding developmentally appropriate practices for young children. 10A NCAC 09 .0510 ACTIVITY AREAS (f) Screen time, including television, videos, video games, and computer usage, shall be prohibited for children under three years of age. -All children must go outside daily weather permitting. Since the facility operates full day, children under two years of age are required to have outside time at least 30 minutes a day. Children two years to twelve years of age are required to have outside time at least one hour each day. I suggested the Director communicate with the parents regarding outside time and making sure children have the appropriate clothing for outdoors. I also suggested to the Director and teachers in the one-year-old classroom that since the weather is getting cooler that they change their schedule and go outside later in the day once it has warmed up a bit. During the visit, I emailed the Director a copy of the Child Care Weather Watch which includes detailed information on the heat index and wind chill. I recommend monitoring the weather each day by using this chart so that staff can be notified each day of the expectations of taking the children outside. Thank you for your time today.

The allegation is as follows: There is a concern that some activities are not developmentally appropriate. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by the Director, J. Brewer. I stated the reason for the visit and the allegation. Additional information received indicated that children two years of age participated in screen time and toddler children did not go outside daily. The Director stated that recently a parent asked if young children were allowed to watch videos. The Director stated she asked the staff member who serves as a floater, and the staff member reported that she had allowed the children two years of age to watch Thomas the Train. The Director explained to the staff member that screen time could not be offered to children under three years of age. The facility held a professional development day on Friday, October 11th and the Director verbally addressed all staff regarding the requirements for screen time. I also spoke with the staff member. She stated that she allowed the children to watch Thomas the Train twice during the week of October 7th for approximately fifteen to twenty minutes each time to calm them down. I also explained that children under the age of three could not participate in screen time activities. During the visit, I observed the children one year of age (toddler classroom) transitioning outside. I spoke with the two Teachers separately regarding their outdoor schedule. Both stated they always went outside in the morning from 10:30 to 11:30 and to the gym in the afternoon from 2:30 to 3:30. However, I reviewed a child’s daily sheet leftover from October 16, 2024, which stated the class did not go outside. I asked both teachers and it was reported that it was cold in the morning and the children didn’t bring jackets, so they didn’t go outside. A walk through the facility was not conducted. However, the Director reported there were a total of forty-six children present today. Based on discussions with the staff and observation of the daily activity sheet from October 16, 2024, the allegation in the report is deemed substantiated. The following violations were cited. Violation Number Comment Rule 498 For children under 2 years of age, a minimum of 30 minutes of outdoor time throughout the day either as part of a small group, whole group, or individual activity was not provided. On October 16, 2024, the group of children one year of age were not taken outside. 10A NCAC 09 . 0508(c) 544 Screen time was offered to children under three years of age. During the week of October 7, 2024, children two years of age participated in screen time by watching Thomas the Train for approximately fifteen to twenty minutes each time. .0510(f) 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 violations documented may impact the compliance history score. The violations documented must be corrected immediately. On or before October 31, 2024, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is considered legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit may be completed. Mail or email the information to: Kaye Dunlap, Child Care Consultant PO Box 627 Matthews, NC 28106 Kaye.Dunlap@dhhs.nc.gov The following technical assistance was provided: -A discussion was held with the Director regarding the use of screen time. Teachers should avoid using screen time to calm children down. The facility should focus on physical activity and positive social interactions with peers and staff during the day. Screen time limits interactions and play activities. I would suggest training regarding developmentally appropriate practices for young children. 10A NCAC 09 .0510 ACTIVITY AREAS (f) Screen time, including television, videos, video games, and computer usage, shall be prohibited for children under three years of age. -All children must go outside daily weather permitting. Since the facility operates full day, children under two years of age are required to have outside time at least 30 minutes a day. Children two years to twelve years of age are required to have outside time at least one hour each day. I suggested the Director communicate with the parents regarding outside time and making sure children have the appropriate clothing for outdoors. I also suggested to the Director and teachers in the one-year-old classroom that since the weather is getting cooler that they change their schedule and go outside later in the day once it has warmed up a bit. During the visit, I emailed the Director a copy of the Child Care Weather Watch which includes detailed information on the heat index and wind chill. I recommend monitoring the weather each day by using this chart so that staff can be notified each day of the expectations of taking the children outside. Thank you for your time today. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at 704-594-0152 or by email at kaye.dunlap@dhhs.nc.gov. If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000).

A suggestion was made to place the name on the outside of the crib so it can’t be reached as well as ensuring that infants are removed from the cribs when they are not sleeping. -Safe arrival and departure procedures must be posted in the center where they can be seen by parents. -Applications for enrollment must be signed by the child’s parent and emergency medical care information must be on file for each child. I recommend reviewing all paperwork to ensure each document has been completed in full prior to filing. -Medical exams for children must be on file within 30 days of enrollment. -Medical records for staff must be kept separate from the personnel file. The Director had a separate file for staff medical records, however, there were copies of the medical records in the personnel files. I explained that the health questionnaire, medical report, and proof of TB test must be kept in a separate file. -Each employee must have a staff evaluation and staff development file completed annually. -The Director was reminded that the center must have one person on staff who has completed the Emergency Preparedness and Response in Child Care training. The training was due within four months from April 2023 since that’s when the Director assumed the position. She stated that she is registered January 24, 2024. -Each staff member is required to complete health and safety training within one year of their hire date and every five years after. Health and safety training can also meet requirements for on-going training which is required yearly based on the staff member's number of hours worked per week and education. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was seventy nine percent before today’s visit. Thank you for your time today.

Name of Operation: IDLEWILD BAPTIST CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER Facility ID: 6055762 Consultant: KAYE DUNLAP Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0723-092L Visit Date: 7/26/2023 Number Present: 56 Completed Date: 7/26/2023 Age: From 0 To 11 Total Minutes: 225 Time In: 10:15 AM Time Out: 02:00 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced Allegation: There are concerns that: Children are not adequately supervised based on biting incidents among children which are increasingly worse. Incident reports are not prepared as required. Purpose of Visit and Observations: Upon arrival, I was greeted by the Director, J. Brewer. I introduced myself and stated the reason for the visit. I read the allegations to the Director and allowed her to respond. She stated that she was aware of two children that were biters in the toddler classroom. However, as of June 2023 a third teacher has been placed in the classroom during the morning hours to allow for closure supervision. There are three teachers in the classroom from 10:00am to 11:45am and 2:00pm to 4:30pm with a group of ten children one year of age. During the visit, I spoke with each Teacher separately regarding supervision based on biting incidents. They reported that children are always supervised and redirected when needed. Today, I observed in the toddler classroom for an hour. I observed children participating in gross motor play in the gym, transitions, personal care routines and lunch. I did not observe incidences of lack of supervision. I observed teachers participating in play with the children, supervising transitions and assisting with personal care routines and lunch. The second allegation regarding incident reports are not prepared as required. Today, I reviewed the incident logs. Additional information received in the complaint report included dates that incidents occurred that require an incident report to be completed. A teacher shared text messages to a parent notifying her of the biting incidents however, there were no incident reports for four of the dates received and no record that incident logs are being completed. Based on staff interviews, and observation in the toddler classroom the allegation regarding supervision is deemed unsubstantiated. Based on review of the incident reports and there were no incident logs, the allegation is deemed substantiated. There were four violations cited during the visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 616 Toys and other mouth-contact surfaces were not cleaned and sanitized daily when used or cleaned more frequently if visibly dirty. Two tables in the toddler classroom were not cleaned and sanitized prior to lunch. .2822(a)(1-4) 619 Diaper changing surfaces were not cleaned with a detergent solution and disinfected after each use. In the toddler classroom, the disinfectant was not allowed to dry for at least two minutes or air dry between uses. 15A NCAC 18A .2819(c) 852 Incident reports were not completed each time a child was injured, it did not include all the information required in rule, it was not signed by the parent and/or it was not maintained in the child's file. Incident reports were not on file for four biting incidents that occurred. .0802 (e) 853 Incident logs were not completed and maintained as required. There was no evidence that incident logs are being maintained. .0802(g)(1-6) Technical Assistance: Although, it was not confirmed that supervision is inadequate, a conversation was held with the Teachers and Director regarding having someone spend time observing in the classroom to document patterns/time of the day when biting incidents occur. I also suggested making changes to the daily schedule and transitions for the children. During the observation, I observed that the children were tired and hungry before lunch was served. I suggested revising the daily schedule so that lunch and rest time are offered earlier. I also suggested that the Director contact Child Care Resources Inc. (CCRI) to request technical assistance. She reported that she had applied for the Quality Everyday Program (QED) in preparation for the facility’s star rating assessment. During the visit, I spoke with the QED Project Manager by phone. She stated that a Child Development Specialist would contact the Director by the end of this week. A conversation was held with the Director regarding the violations cited. Below is the rule reference for each violation. 10A NCAC 09 .0802 EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE (e) The child care provider shall complete an incident report each time a child is injured as a result of an incident occurring while the child is in care.
