The DCDEE and the North Carolina Rated License Assessment Project (NCRLAP) are collaboratively working on preparations for the transition to the third editions.

Visit the NCRLAP’s website for more information about updated resources, credit hour trainings, and outreach assessment opportunities to help you become familiar with these tools. For official environment rating scale assessments for a NC Star Rated License, the NCRLAP will use the Revised editions until February 1, 2025. You can find more information at this link: https://ncrlap.org/Resources/pages/get-ready-for-3s/ • The process of notifying the Division of new employees 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 on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new childcare providers working who were hired or moved into the childcare 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.

You must correct the violations cited during today's visit immediately and send me documentation verifying compliance on or before January 30, 2025. The following information must be included in your signed and dated compliance letter: • the name of your center • facility ID number • date • title of the person who signs the letter • each violation number(s) • describes accurately and in detail how and when you corrected each violation You may email the letter to turkessha.casterlow@dhhs.nc.gov or mail two copies of the letter to: Turkessha Casterlow P.O. Box 16141 Greensboro, NC 27416 If you state in your letter that corrections or changes have been made when they have not, it will be considered falsification of information and could lead to administrative action being taken by the DCDEE. Repeated violations, continued non-compliance, or failure to submit the compliance letter prior to the date given in this visit summary can also lead to administrative action being taken by the DCDEE. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit: • A lock down and shelter in place drill must be completed every three months. You can do these independently in your classroom. Emergency drills in Pre-K help the children respond to emergencies and keep them safe. • Dial-4 screening must be completed for all children within the first 90 days of attendance or within six months of enrollment. This tool can help teachers communicate with families about their children’s development. This tool also helps to identify children who may need additional support. • Licensing facilities must have safe procedures for children’s arrival and departure. These procedures must be communicated to the parents and posted in the classroom. Additional Information/Consultation: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. • The hold harmless was extended until the QRIS modernization has been completed. The previous cohort model is no longer in effect. Starting on February 1, 2025, the ECERS-3, ITERS-3, and FCCERS-3, also known as the "3s” will be used for DCDEE environment rating scale assessments. The DCDEE and the North Carolina Rated License Assessment Project (NCRLAP) are collaboratively working on preparations for the transition to the third editions. These third editions come with a spiral binding at the top, replacing the current revised editions. Visit the NCRLAP’s website for more information about updated resources, credit hour trainings, and outreach assessment opportunities to help you become familiar with these tools. For official environment rating scale assessments for a NC Star Rated License, the NCRLAP will use the Revised editions until February 1, 2025. You can find more information at this link: https://ncrlap.org/Resources/pages/get-ready-for-3s/ • The process of notifying the Division of new employees 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 on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new childcare providers working who were hired or moved into the childcare 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. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-8401 and someone will assist you.

This visit was conducted by Audrey Davis and Pamela Hauser. Susan Cannaday, lead teacher and Ruth Otero Rodrigues, teacher assistant both new this year to this school, assisted us with the visit. The classroom is operated by the Surry County Schools with a five-star license effective 3/6/20. Restrictions include first shift care, enhanced space, enhanced ratios, enhanced ratios minus one, and school-age playground equipment off-limits to preschool children.

Today, the following items were monitored: • Supervision • Staff / Child Ratio • CPR / First Aid • Special Training • CBC Qualification • ITS – SIDS (n/a) • Emergency Medical Care Plan • Administration of Medication • Storage of Hazardous Products • Storage of Medication • General Safety • Discipline • Adequate / Approved Space • Program Records • License Posted • Permit Restrictions Ross Scott, interim principal, serving as a long-term substitute administrator, was on site today and available to assist. Mr. Scott did not have the required DCDEE background check. The license was observed, and the restrictions were found in compliance. A walk-through of the facility was completed today.

This visit was conducted by Audrey Davis and Pamela Hauser. Susan Cannaday, lead teacher and Ruth Otero Rodrigues, teacher assistant both new this year to this school, assisted us with the visit. The classroom is operated by the Surry County Schools with a five-star license effective 3/6/20. Restrictions include first shift care, enhanced space, enhanced ratios, enhanced ratios minus one, and school-age playground equipment off-limits to preschool children.

Today, the following items were monitored: • Supervision • Staff / Child Ratio • CPR / First Aid • Special Training • CBC Qualification • ITS – SIDS (n/a) • Emergency Medical Care Plan • Administration of Medication • Storage of Hazardous Products • Storage of Medication • General Safety • Discipline • Adequate / Approved Space • Program Records • License Posted • Permit Restrictions Ross Scott, interim principal, serving as a long-term substitute administrator, was on site today and available to assist. Mr. Scott did not have the required DCDEE background check. The license was observed, and the restrictions were found in compliance. A walk-through of the facility was completed today.
