Consultation was provided on the following: It is recommended that staff keep staff and training worksheets up to date at all times, and adding training hours to the worksheets when trainings are completed. It is recommended that staff utilize and follow the classroom schedule and lesson plan as closely as possible, to assist with classroom management and challenging behaviors in the classroom. As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-8401 and someone will assist you.

Technical assistance was given today concerning the following: We reviewed and discussed that all staff, including the principal, need to be on the staff and training worksheet and have all required information on file. We also discussed that staff medical information has to be kept separately from other information. We discussed keeping this information in your filing cabinet in the office. We also discussed that staff medical and TB test are needed prior to employment. We reviewed and discussed requirements for fire drills and playground inspections. As discussed, they need to be completed each month that school is in. We discussed setting a reminder to alert you to make sure they are completed monthly. We reviewed and discussed that doors can not be propped. We discussed having a key that can be used for the door that leads to the outside so that the door can be kept closed when you are outside.
