Name of Operation: MY LITTLE ANGELS LEARNING CENTER Facility ID: 90000454 Consultant: ABIGAIL AVALOS Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0325-378L Visit Date: 4/9/2025 Number Present: 28 Completed Date: 4/9/2025 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 120 Time In: 10:00 AM Time Out: 12:00 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to obtain information regarding an alleged violation of child care requirements. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Ms. Amanda Hickmon Lang, Owner. I shared the reason for the visit. This was a self-report that was made on 3/26/25 and the details of the incident are as follows: - At pick-up time around 5:15-5:30PM on 3/25/25 a three-year-old child was left unsupervised on the playground for about five (5) minutes. - It was reported that pick-up, transitions, staff ending their shifts and merging of classrooms were occurring simultaneously and that you forgot to count all children. - The incident occurred when children were merged into one (1) group for the afternoon after a teacher had left for the day. Eleven (11) children were counted on the playground. - A second teacher was inside of building #2 with one (1) child who was completing a virtual tutoring session. - Once indoors counting did not take place again. - It was reported that you went back to the playground to get children’s jackets and then was stopped by some parents for a few minutes. As you were getting coats, you saw the child between a ramp on the side of building #2. - It was reported that the child was not upset and was not injured. The child was in a fenced area. - It was shared that earlier before the incident, you were trying to gather sign-in sheets and classroom sign-in sheets to have all children accounted for. - It was reported that you notified the child’s parent of the incident that same afternoon along with the other parent the next morning. - The facility does have cameras and the camera footage from the incident was unable to be reviewed as it is live feed. I reviewed the following items: - The sign-in/out sheets for the classroom and the master sign-in/out sheet for all children enrolled in building #2. - The application used to also track attendance and face to name. - A walkthrough of the area’s where the incident took place. You shared that after the incident you met with all staff and reviewed the importance of indoor and outdoor supervision. You also showed me the new sign-in/out sheets that you created to help you, and staff track when children are being merged into classrooms. In addition, you have ordered a plexiglass to place in the small area by the building and ramp to prevent any children from going inside the space. Overall, you shared that you and staff are getting familiarized with the name to face feature in the application that you use, Brightwheel and the new sign-in/out system to prevent this from reoccurring. Interview Findings: After conducting the interview and review of the sign-in/out sheet and walkthrough “replay” of that afternoon, it was evident that the proper transition from outdoors to indoors did not occur and a child was left unsupervised. I shared the importance of supervision, the requirements in rule, and how to prevent this from re-occurring. Those suggestions included being able to identify each child by conducting name to face at each threshold of a door whether the transition is indoors or outdoors. In addition, I reviewed to document accurate times that children are being signed out, switched over to other rooms, and or departing for the day. Findings: Based on interviews and observations, the allegation of a violation of child care requirements is substantiated. I conducted a walk-through of the center. Supervision, staff/child ratios, adequate/approved space and permit restrictions were observed in compliance today. The children were observed participating in free play, individual nap times, and handwashing routines. There were twenty-eight (28) children present. I shared a reminder with infant staff that children who have fallen asleep in chairs or seating devices need to immediately be transferred to a crib. Violation Number Comment Rule 303 Children were not adequately supervised at all times. A three year-old child was left unattended in the outdoor learning environment for about five (5) minutes. .1801(a)(1-5) Corrective Action Plan – Compliance Letter: On or before 4/23/25, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail how and when the violation was 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. Please email the information to: abigail.avalos@dhhs.nc.gov Technical Assistance with the Substantiated Allegation: Please ensure to review the requirements around supervision to all staff at orientation and frequently in staff meetings or individual evaluations, to ensure that adequate supervision of children is taking place. As a reminder, 10A NCAC 09 .1801 SUPERVISION IN CHILD CARE CENTERS: (a) Children shall be adequately supervised at all times in child care centers. Adequate supervision shall mean that: (1) staff must be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize their ability to hear or see the children at all times and render assistance; (2) staff must interact with the children while moving about the indoor or outdoor area; (3) staff must know where each child is located and be aware of the children's activities at all times; (4) staff must provide supervision appropriate to the individual age, needs, and capabilities of each child; and (5) staff must be able to see and hear children aged birth to five years old while the children are eating. All of the conditions in this Paragraph shall apply except when emergencies necessitate that adequate supervision is impossible. Documentation of emergencies shall be maintained and available for review by Division representatives upon request. (b) For groups of children aged two years or older, the staff/child ratio during nap time shall comply with the requirements of this Chapter if at least one person remains in the room, all children are visible to that person, and the total number of required staff are on the premises and within calling distance of the rooms occupied by children. In addition, please look into equipping staff with information/training that highlights the importance of playground supervision. Please visit the CCRI training catalog and ProSolutions for training on supervision and transitions and have staff re-trained on what the requirements are for adequate supervision and meaningful and purposeful transitions.

During the walkthrough we discussed getting some technical assistance from the Alliance for Children or CCRI in regard to room arrangement and developing learning centers. I observed that building #2 had a different layout for learning centers. It was hard to distinguish centers between each space, due to the large amount of additional materials and curriculum that is stored throughout the learning spaces. It was expressed that for lunch, space #4 has been eating in the space in front of the four (4) bathrooms due to the lack of space and ease of hand washing. I shared that I will also extend the question to EHS to review if any additional guidance needs to be shared. In space #4, I observed red curtains at each window. I shared that per fire codes this was not allowed. I encouraged you to reach out to your fire marshal to get more insight on what is allowed to hang in your classrooms.

The program is free, and the first step is to watch one of the pre-enrollment webinars, which are available at www.cleanwaterforUSkids.org/carolina Additional information can be found in the Raise North Carolina Newsletter sent via email on 12/7/23 from DCDEE. As of today, your facility has completed all sections. Rated License: Hold harmless has been extended until the new QRIS (Quality Rating and Improvement System) is implemented, this is also known as SB 425 (Senate Bill 425). Providers in Cohort #1 are not required to go any further with a rated license assessment unless requested, and providers in Cohort #2 do not need to start their preparation year unless a rated license assessment is requested. Technical Assistance: Please post the most current summary of the law you can find a copy on our website under the provider tab. During the walkthrough we discussed getting some technical assistance from the Alliance for Children or CCRI in regard to room arrangement and developing learning centers. I observed that building #2 had a different layout for learning centers. It was hard to distinguish centers between each space, due to the large amount of additional materials and curriculum that is stored throughout the learning spaces. It was expressed that for lunch, space #4 has been eating in the space in front of the four (4) bathrooms due to the lack of space and ease of hand washing. I shared that I will also extend the question to EHS to review if any additional guidance needs to be shared. In space #4, I observed red curtains at each window. I shared that per fire codes this was not allowed. I encouraged you to reach out to your fire marshal to get more insight on what is allowed to hang in your classrooms. Exit Conference: At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was printed, reviewed, and a copy was left with you. We jointly reviewed the visit summary and documentation of my findings and violations with you, Ms. Hickmon-Lang.

Mail or email the information to: Abigail Avalos, Child Care Consultant PO Box 690162 Mint Hill, NC 28227 OR abigail.avalos@dhhs.nc.gov 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. 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 (75%). Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was ninety-six percent (96%) prior to today’s visit. The compliance history could be impacted after today’s visit. Rated License: Today we discussed that you are in Cohort #1 and that your preparation year has begun as of July 1, 2023. Throughout the next few months, I recommend that you consider completing the following tasks and activities that will help prepare you for your reassessment year, which will be sometime between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. If possible, we will align the reassessment with your annual compliance visit timeframe. • Have all staff update their WORKS accounts to reflect all currently completed coursework in DCDEE-WORKS. • Determine whether you wish to have the Environment Rating Scale (ERS) Assessments for ITERS-R, ECERS-R, SACERSU. • Request technical assistance with your child care consultant and local partners. • Participate in local CCRI related training/workshops. • Reach out to your local Community College to discuss educational opportunities. • Review NCRLAP website ERS resources (www.NCRLAP.org). • Consider requesting an ERS assessment (free of charge) during the preparation year. Remember the scores can be used in a variety of ways: o ERS assessments can be requested during the preparation year and scores can be used as guidance to enhance program quality. o If desired, assessment scores can be used during the preparation year if the operator wants to move forward with a rated license reassessment. o Assessment scores can be saved to use during the reassessment year. o Facilities can request another ERS assessment (free of charge) in your reassessment year for any ERS assessment scoring less than a 5.0. Technical Assistance: Today we reviewed to keep me informed of the progress with your new renovated building. Please forward me all the completed inspections, zoning letter, and your floor plan. I completed a walkthrough today of the new building and observed materials and furniture placed in all potential licensed spaces. As you prepare for your rated license re-assessment and opening of your new spaces, please take the opportunity to join informative sessions available through CCRI and the Alliance for Children regarding the rated license process.
