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. Action Required for Lead and Asbestos Testing: 10A NCAC 41C .1001 through .1007 and 15A NCAC 18A .2816 require all child care facilities (homes and centers) to test for lead in drinking water, identify lead based paint hazards, and mitigate or restrict access to identified hazards. The Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program is designed to identify and eliminate exposure to lead and asbestos hazards in building infrastructure, while providing child care facilities with the support needed to meet all rule requirements. 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, the website indicates that your facility has not completed the sections for testing for lead in water, lead-based paint nor asbestos. Please ensure to complete enrollment and to complete all of the steps required. Technical Assistance: For a child’s medical action plan for asthma, I observed an action plan from the health care provider, we printed and reviewed the DCDEE forms that need to be completed.

Name of Operation: WILMA'S DAY CARE, INC. Facility ID: 90000504 Consultant: ABIGAIL AVALOS Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0624-238L Visit Date: 7/2/2024 Number Present: 49 Completed Date: 7/2/2024 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 140 Time In: 03:25 PM Time Out: 05:45 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. There is a concern that a child was left unsupervised on the playground. Upon arrival, I knocked on all front doors and nobody was able to open the door. After calling you Ms. Sherry Wilson, Director, I was then greeted by Ms. Firms, Teacher and you shared you would be back at the facility momentarily. I began the walkthrough with Ms. Firms, and you arrived to assist me with the visit. I shared the reason for the visit, and I shared the complaint allegation with you and gave you a chance to respond. At the beginning of the interview, you shared with me that you had no information nor recollection of a child being left unattended on the playground. You shared that all of your teachers gather the children outdoors either on the porch or by the brick wall before transitioning indoors and that occasionally you have children who are hiding in tunnels and staff go to get them but that they are never left unsupervised. Once I began the next interview, you came back in the office and shared you now knew what happened because another staff member just told you more information about an incident that occurred on 6/20/24. After I finished the interview, I met with you again to go over the information that was just shared with you during the visit. You shared that you did receive information about a child who had a bathroom accident outdoors, however you were not notified of the child being left unattended and that he was found and brought inside by another staff member. I encouraged for you to review with staff the importance of supervision and safety overall. Open communication is important and knowing what occurs at the facility is important to keep all children, staff and families safe. You shared that the family was not notified of the incident due to you not knowing the severity of the incident but that you would notify them. Interview Findings: I interviewed a total of three (3) staff members. Staff confirmed that a three-year-old child was left outdoors on 6/20/24 for about five (5) minutes inside of a house play structure. It was reported that the teacher did not count the child once they all went indoors after outdoor play and that they were sorry. It was also shared that new transitions have just taken place and the child was new to their classroom and they did not remember to count them in the group of children. It was reported that once the child was found that another staff member brought the child to them and explained that the child had had a bathroom accident and soiled their clothes. The teacher reported that the child was not upset or injured but that they were shy and timid due to the bathroom accident they just had. The teacher reported that the child was cleaned and that on that day she was in ratio and alone with the group of children. During each interview, I shared the importance of supervision, the requirements 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 and at any transitions. In addition, I shared the head count document found on our website to use as an example when conducting head counts and for when transitions take place from indoors to outdoors and vice versa. Findings: Based on interviews and observations the allegation that “there is a concern that a child was left unsupervised on the playground” is substantiated. I conducted a walk-through of the center. Supervision, staff/child ratios, adequate/approved space and permit restrictions were observed in compliance. I briefly reviewed that only licensed spaces need to be used by children and that if there are any unlocked doors to unlicensed spaces that inspectors and DCDEE will need to conduct a walkthrough of the spaces, due to those spaces not being locked and accessible to children. The children were observed participating in free play and outdoor play. There were forty-nine (49) children present. Violation Number Comment Rule 303 Children were not adequately supervised at all times. On 6/20/24 a 3 year old child was left unattended on the playground for a reported time of about five (5) minutes. .1801(a)(1-5) On or before 7/16/24, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail how and when the violations were 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. 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 and/or on individual basis at annual evaluations to ensure that adequate supervision of children is always taking place. As a reminder, the rules around supervision are: 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. 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. In addition, please look into equipping staff with information/training that highlights the importance of playground supervision. 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 with you, Ms. Wilson. A follow-up visit will occur in the future. Please continue to visit DCDEE’s website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ to get the latest updates.
