Additional violations may be documented if the situation has not been corrected or addressed. You were provided an opportunity to ask questions regarding interpretation and implementation of all child care requirements. Child care licensing rules and regulations are established to ensure a safe and healthy environment for children in care. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all of the licensing requirements that apply to your program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all of the applicable laws and rules at all times. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules. Both are available on the DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ , on the home page under the ‘Services’ tab. Technical Assistance I observed both outdoor play areas, there are leaves and weed growing in the large playground area. There were also old/broken play equipment that needed to be discarded. You stated you would have your handy man remove the broken toys and old rug and get rid of the weeds and leaves. We discussed having a tote of outdoor play materials to take outside daily instead of the play equipment that is on the playground. The equipment on the smaller playground is dirty and needs to be sprayed down and cleaned if you decide to keep it. We also discussed some surfacing options for the smaller playground, it is just dirt, you proposed adding green ground surfacing. Remove all the broken tree libs and logs from the playground. Check outlets every morning before children arrive to ensure they are all covered. Covers must be used and surge protectors and muti-outlet devices. The children were observed eating lunch which consisted of pepperoni pizza rolls, sliced apples, and milk. The children were not served a vegetable. The lunch that was served was not the food that was listed on the menu for today. Update the menu when changes are made.

Preparing for North Carolina's New QRIS System The Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) is being modernized to provide more flexible and equitable ways for programs to demonstrate quality. Starting later this year, providers will be able to choose from three star-rating pathways—Program Assessment, Classroom & Instructional Quality, or Accreditation—allowing you to align your strengths with the rating method that best fits your program. Now is the time to evaluate your current practices, staff credentials, curriculum use, and classroom interactions to determine which pathway is the best fit. Programs are encouraged to begin preparing for updates to staff qualification standards and assessment tools. While existing star ratings will remain valid for now, all new star ratings will be subject to the new system. Your program’s quality should reflect not just compliance—but a commitment to best practices, child development, and continuous improvement. Stay informed, stay proactive, and take advantage of technical assistance and training opportunities as they become available. For more information and guidance, visit https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov. Resources The Health and Safety Trainings are offered on the DCDEE Moodle format. On the Division’s website look under the “SERVICES” tab for “DCDEE Moodle”. These trainings are free, and participants will receive training certificates when completed. Child care programs can order free posters from the NC Child Care Health and Safety Resource Center at https://healthychildcare.unc.edu/ . Thank you for your cooperation during today’s visit.
