The license was posted, with restrictions to: first (1st), second (2nd), and third (3rd) shift care, children in ground level care only and no more than five (5) preschool aged children at a time. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was ninety-seven (97%) percent before today’s visit. The following items were monitored: Licensing Posted, Permit Restrictions, Storage of Hazardous Substances and General Safety. Fire and Sanitation Inspections are not required for this licensed facility. The facility has completed the water and paint testing. The following items above were found out of compliance. The following inspections are below. •Last fire drill was conducted during the first of the month, and the form to document was left with Ms. Eldin The Indoor learning environment was not monitored today as there are no children currently present. The area is still in use as there are two (2) children enrolled. They are currently on vacation and not present during today’s visit. Outdoor Learning Environment-what was observed to be in compliance. Medication: Medication was not monitored. Weapons: Today you reported that your facility was in compliance with childcare requirements regarding firearms. Transportation: Transportation is not provided. There was one violation observed during today’s visit and it was corrected. The violations are as follows: Violation Number Comment Rule 923 Operator did not keep records of monthly fire drills, quarterly lockdown or shelter-in-place drills, incident reports, incident logs, accurate attendance, emergency numbers, emergency preparedness and response plan, field trip/transportation permission, pet vaccinations records and/or playground inspections monthly outdoor safety checks for a minimum of one year.

Based on Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 Section .2200, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may take administrative action against the license and/or impose civil penalties based on the failure of the operator to correct any documented violations within the established time period. If you state in your letter that corrections have been made when they have not, it will be considered falsification of information. Rated License Updated Child Care Rules are located in Section .3200 pertaining to QRIS system, otherwise known as Pathways to Stars are available for review. The process will begin with these informational opportunities. •In September, childcare consultants hosted in-person facility operator/administrator meetings within the counties they serve to provide additional guidance on the changes. At Ms. Eldin’s annual compliance visit, we discussed if she would like to maintain a two (2) to five (5) Star permit or not. We discussed changes in her care schedule and caregivers. During today’s visit, Ms. Eldin has decided she does not want to pursue an enhanced license. A reduction of stars will be processed. Technical Assistance •We discussed Ms. Eldin only caring for her two (2) grandchildren and this falls into childcare rules pertaining to licensing requirements. If Ms. Eldin decides to only care for her two (2) grandchildren, she may choose to operate without a Star Rated permit, she may also care for up to two (2) unrelated children at that time as well. Ms. Eldin and I reviewed the steps she would need to take if she terminated her permit/license and wanted to care for more than two (2) unrelated children in the future. •We discussed trainings and postings required to maintain a one (1) star license. We jointly reviewed the visit summary and documentation of my findings and violations with you, I encouraged you to ask any questions and you stated that you had none.
