The allegations are as follows: There are concerns that: - There is a concern that incident reports are not prepared as required. - There is a concern that children are not adequately supervised. (hitting incidents) I completed a walk through of the center. Each classroom was monitored. Ms. Abigail Quick, interim director was given an opportunity to respond to the alleged allegations. You stated that you suspended a child for violent behavior on 12/20/23. The child’s parent was informed on 12/20/23, that the child could not return to daycare until 12/22/23. On 12/20/23, several children cared for in the 3- and 4-year-old class were pushed, slapped and one child was punched in the nose resulting in blood coming from the child’s nose. You stated that the parent of the child hit, was called but an incident report for the nosebleed was not completed. You mentioned that Amanda Lovette from the Robeson County Partnership for Children is schedule to do technical assistance on 1/11/24. The staff has also been scheduled to attend a biting class on 1/26/24. During today’s visit I interviewed 5 teachers. Each teacher stated that the child that was suspended displayed moments where she would break down and cry if she did not get her way. One teacher mentioned that the child would try to run out of the room. Each teacher stated that she hit the other children when she did not get what she wanted. One teacher stated that the child tried to hit her once. None of the teachers could remember a time when the child received a mark, bruise, scratch or cut from another child. Each teacher mentioned that incident reports are completed when a child receives a mark and reports them to Ms. Abby. Each class was monitored, and adequate supervision was observed. The children cared for in the 3- and 4-year-old room were observed coloring at tables while they waited for lunch. I monitored 2023 and 2022 incident reports for the child that was suspended. Out of the four incident reports, the parent refused to sign three (2/13/23, 3/23/23, and 10/20/23). One incident was signed by the parent (8/18/23). Three of the four incidents were self-inflicted. I also reviewed the child's suspension letter from the center to the parent. Ms. Blue, one of the child’s teachers’ last day of employment was 11/22/23. Two new staff files were monitored and found in compliance. Lunch consisted of pulled pork, bread, mandarin oranges, french fries and milk. Based on today’s observations, the findings regarding the allegation of incident reports not prepared as required, the allegation has been substantiated.

The following violation was cited during today’s visit.
