The sanitation inspection was completed February 11, 2025, with a “Superior” classification. The last fire inspection was conducted on October 30, 2024. Your facility was approved for 1st shift care, the facility meets enhanced ratios and enhanced space, and enhanced ratios minus one in each age group. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was one hundred (100%) percent as of May 15, 2025. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on May 15, 2025, and Carteret County Public School Foundation was listed as current-active. Seventeen (17) children, between the ages of four (4) and five (5) years old are enrolled and sixteen (16) were present today. There is one (1) approved indoor space and one (1) approved outdoor space. At least five (5) activity areas including language, blocks, manipulatives, dramatic play, and art were available in the classroom. Age-appropriate materials and activities were provided for all children. Upon entering your classroom, the preschool children were observed playing with a variety of activities which included, water play, legos, gluing to create octopus, building with cardboard brick blocks, wooden blocks, and hallow blocks. In the dramatic play area, the children dressed up in character clothes and pushed baby dolls in a stroller. A staff member read books to a group of children in the library area. Both staff members were actively engaged with the children. Routine handwashing and toileting procedures were monitored, and requirements were met. The children transitioned from the outdoor space to the indoor space for lunch. Lunch consisted of cheese pizza, sweet peas, peaches, and milk. The outdoor space had a variety of gross motor equipment which included tricycles, basketball goals, a stationary riding police car, wagons, tires, and a climbing structure with two slides. Health and safety trainings were monitored, and requirements were met. Violation Number Comment Rule 721 All equipment and furnishings were not in good repair. The rubber covering over the metal base on the climbing equipment in the outdoor space was lifting and torn off causing a tripping hazard and exposing the rust on the base of the equipment.

The program follows the Carteret County school calendar. The length of the day, 8:00am until 3:00pm, meets the instructional day requirement of 6.5-10 hours. Child Assessment and Required Screenings: The assessment tool, GOLD, Teaching Strategies 2010-2011, is in place. Portfolios for each child are maintained electronically on Teacher Strategies Gold online application. The facility uses the developmental screening tool, Brigance Early Childhood Screens III (3-5 Years or K & 1) for pre-screening and ongoing assessments. Documentation of health assessments, vision, hearing, dental screenings, and Brigance pre-screenings were on file for each child. Curriculum: The Creative Curriculum for Preschool, 6th Edition, Teaching Strategies, 2016 has been implemented and the classroom has the required resources available for use.

Children's records consist of various documentation such as a child's medical and immunization history, emergency medical care information and parental permission to participate in specific activities. This information is the basis for meeting each child's physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs.

Playground Equipment Hazards: Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0604 (p) SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR CHILD CARE CENTERS states that once a day, prior to initial use, the indoor and outdoor premises shall be checked for debris, vandalism, and broken equipment. As we discussed today, the rubber covering over the base of the climbing equipment has separated from the base and in large areas torn off. This is a tripping hazard for the children, as well as rust is exposed due to the weather. Before children enter the outdoor area each day, you must take time to observe the outdoor area and ensure there are no safety hazards. If there are any hazards, they must be addressed before children can enter the area. Today, I suggested that the children not be allowed to play on the equipment until it has been repaired or replaced. If the equipment is repaired, it must still meet manufacturing specifications and guidelines. Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids™ Deadline Extended!
