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.

When a new staff member starts working at a facility and gives the administrator a CBC qualification letter that was previously completed while working at another facility, but is still current, the administrator must send a Change of Information form for that new staff member to the CBC unit. The Change of Information form can be found on DCDEE’s website under Provider Documents and Forms. Technical Assistance Guidance 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.

Erin Pickard, Licensing Supervisor, accompanied me during today’s visit. This facility was issued a temporary license on November 25, 2024, with a restriction of daytime care only. The temporary license will expire on May 25, 2025. Upon arrival, we were greeted by you, you, Nikki Seabright, Director, and Alyssa Vasquez, Assistant Director. The infants were observed during tummy time, sleeping in cribs, diaper changing routine. The other children were observed during free choice activities indoors, group time, hand-washing routines and lunch. Positive interactions were observed throughout today’s visit. The following items were monitored: license posted, permit restrictions, staff/child ratios, supervision, group size, capacity, hazardous product storage, applicable rated license requirements, emergency drills and indoor and outdoor space safety requirements. A fire inspection was conducted on November 7, 2024. A sanitation inspection was conducted on December 18, 2024, with no demerits. You had the Staff and Training Worksheet completed for us to review and we monitored three new staff files today. Rated License Summary: I received the Rated License Assessment Review Form and a copy of the Application for Assessment for a Two component Star rated License on February 11, 2025. Program Standards: The ERS assessments have not been completed as of today’s date. This facility’s points in program standards will be determined once we receive and review the assessment. Education Standards as of today’s visit: -The Administrator is eligible for seven (7) points in education standards. -The Program Coordinator is eligible for seven (7) points in education standards. -The Group Leader is eligible for seven (7) points in education standards. -The Lead Teachers are eligible for six (6) points in education standards.

As of today’s date, this program will be required to have four teachers due to enrollment. If the Workforce Education Unit is not able to process all staffs’ education information, by the time we meet to review the ERS assessment scores, we will have to process the star rated license based on the staff education evaluations that have been processed. The star rated license can be “reissued” at a later time when all of the staff education evaluations are complete, should the overall education points change. The staff education standard points will be determined when we review the ERS assessment scores once they are received. Quality Option: You stated that you and the owners are reviewing the options. The quality point will be determined by the time we review the ERS assessments. Total standard points and stars will be determined once we receive and review the ERS assessments, monitor the education standards again and determine the quality point that this program may be eligible for.

Erin Pickard, Licensing Supervisor, accompanied me during today’s visit. This facility was issued a temporary license on November 25, 2024, with a restriction of daytime care only. The temporary license will expire on May 25, 2025. Upon arrival, we were greeted by you, you, Nikki Seabright, Director, and Alyssa Vasquez, Assistant Director. The infants were observed during tummy time, sleeping in cribs, diaper changing routine. The other children were observed during free choice activities indoors, group time, hand-washing routines and lunch. Positive interactions were observed throughout today’s visit. The following items were monitored: license posted, permit restrictions, staff/child ratios, supervision, group size, capacity, hazardous product storage, applicable rated license requirements, emergency drills and indoor and outdoor space safety requirements. A fire inspection was conducted on November 7, 2024. A sanitation inspection was conducted on December 18, 2024, with no demerits. You had the Staff and Training Worksheet completed for us to review and we monitored three new staff files today. Rated License Summary: I received the Rated License Assessment Review Form and a copy of the Application for Assessment for a Two component Star rated License on February 11, 2025.

If the Workforce Education Unit is not able to process all staffs’ education information, by the time we meet to review the ERS assessment scores, we will have to process the star rated license based on the staff education evaluations that have been processed. The star rated license can be “reissued” at a later time when all of the staff education evaluations are complete, should the overall education points change. The staff education standard points will be determined when we review the ERS assessment scores once they are received. Quality Option: You stated that you and the owners are reviewing the options. The quality point will be determined by the time we review the ERS assessments. Total standard points and stars will be determined once we receive and review the ERS assessments, monitor the education standards again and determine the quality point that this program may be eligible for.
