Your family childcare home currently operates with a 2-star license issued August 6, 2024. The facility’s last annual compliance visit was conducted on August 6, 2024. The family child care home’s compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was one hundred (100%) percent as of August 4, 2025. Restrictions on the permit include 1st and 2nd shift care, a maximum of five (5) preschool children cared for at any time, fireplace/woodstove not used during operating hours, outdoor play in back yard only, and the facility serves no more than 2 infants under age1. You, Lenka Krepla, were present and available for consultation during the visit. Five (5) children between the ages of one (1) and three (3) are enrolled and five (5) were present. All spaces used by the children, indoors and outdoors, were monitored. Ms. Krepla has a room set up exclusively for childcare. Upon arrival at your facility, you and the children were near the bathroom. The children were performing toileting and handwashing routines. After handwashing, the children transitioned to morning snack which consisted of cereal, apples, and milk. After morning snack, the children colored zoo animal pictures and transitioned to free play activities which included pushing baby dolls in strollers and pushing cars and trucks. Handwashing, toileting, and food service procedures were monitored, and requirements were met. Today all children’s files were monitored. The facility’s safe sleep policy was monitored, and requirements were met. Due to no infants being enrolled, safe sleep checks were not monitored today. You completed health and safety trainings in April of 2020. Today, I showed you how to log into Moodle and register for 2025 health and safety trainings to complete them for the five-year requirement. Today, you completed a copy of the FCCH Operator’s Statements of Responsibility and the Verification of Required Information for Operator and Additional Caregivers Form. You are required to complete ten (10) ongoing training hours per year, and you have completed fifteen (15). You have five (5) training hours that may be carried forwarded for next year on going training requirements. Violation Number Comment Rule 2023 Operator and/or staff who work with children, did not complete health and safety training as part of on-going training so that every five years, all the topic areas were covered. Health and safety trainings were last completed in April 2020. .1703(d)(2) 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. Any violations documented may impact the compliance history score. Any violations documented must be corrected immediately. On or before Monday, August 18, 2025, 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 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 will be conducted. Mail or email the information to: Andrea Johnson, Child Care Consultant andrea.johnson@dhhs.nc.gov PO Box 904 Beaufort, NC 28516 252-732-0183 If you email the compliance letter, it must be sent from the email address registered with the DCDEE (this serves as your signature) and the following information must be included: name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance: Health and Safety Trainings: Health and safety trainings are required to be renewed every 5 years. Topics and training information can be found in the Child Care Rules on the DCDEE website. Today, you logged into moodle and registered for the required health and safety trainings.

The Division of Child Development and Early Education is preparing a summary of the rules, an online training module for Moodle, and an implementation plan. A webinar will be scheduled later this month to share the implementation plan and will also provide resources that can assist you with understanding the new rules. The implementation plan will allow time for administrators/operators to learn and understand the different pathways and the changes within our system. We encourage you to visit the QRIS Modernization page on the DCDEE website to learn more now, and, if you have not already completed the QRIS survey, we’d love to hear from you. The information you provide will help us know how we can best serve you in preparing for this transition.
