The visit was conducted with Kayla Tucker, Administrator, by Tammy Childress, Lead Child Care Consultant. The program currently operates with a Notice of Compliance effective October 19, 2021. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on June 12, 2024. The sanitation inspection was completed March 18, 2025, with a “Superior” classification and eleven demerits. The last fire inspection was conducted on March 6, 2025 and the facility was approved for daytime care only. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was 87% as of today. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed today and White Plains Baptist Church, Inc., was listed as current- active. The Clean Water for Us Kids website, https://data.cleanwaterforuskids.org/data/north-carolina/86000106/summary, shows that lead water testing was completed on 10/31/2023. The website also shows that lead-based paint and asbestos testing as “enrollment started.” Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0601(f) states each child care center shall be free of lead poisoning hazards as defined in G.S. 130A-131.7(7) and asbestos hazards. As a legislatively mandated effort, all child care facilities are required to meet rule requirements (NC 10A NCAC 41C.1001-1007, NC 154A NCAC 18A.2816) for lead-based paint and asbestos testing. In alignment with these requirements, amendments to Child Care Rules 10A NCAC 09 .0102(4) and 10A NCAC 09 .0601(f) also requiring lead-based paint and asbestos testing became effective January 1, 2024. This testing is in addition to the lead in water testing you have already completed. In order to be in compliance with child care and sanitation rules, you must complete the steps through the Clean Water for Us Kids website to determine if lead-based paint and/or asbestos testing is needed. During today’s visit, Ms. Tucker access the website and noted where she would completed the trainings. All indoor and outdoor spaces approved for child care were monitored during today’s visit. Staff/child ratio and space capacity were monitored as indicated on the attached worksheet. Children in care were observed to be engaged in free choice play, outdoor play, routine care, and lunch. Lunch was observed and consisted of chicken nuggets, pasta with alfredo sauce, carrots, bread, oranges and milk. Children under twelve months old were observed to receive care according to individual needs including diapering and bottle feeding. Program records including fire drills, emergency drills, and playground inspection, required postings, nutrition, storage of hazardous items and storage of and administration of medication was monitored today. Staff and children’s files were monitored by DCDEE procedures. A review of the DCDEE ABCMS staff roster for the facility was reviewed today and there is no information listed. Guidance on the requirement to enter all staff into a center roster on the ABCMS portal was provided in DCDEE email blasts on September 13, 2024, September 20, 2024, September 30, 2024, and you should have received guidance from your assigned child care consultant. North Carolina General Statue 110-90.2 and Child Care Rule .2703(r) requires child care operators to notify the Division of any new child care staff within five days. The rule requirements cover that you must enter information on all current staff on a facility roster. During today’s visit, Ms. Tucker accessed information emailed to her from Pamela Hauser, Licensing Supervisor, to begin this process. The facility conducts field trips for school-age children only during the summer months. The vehicle used to transport children, a 2016 Ford 15 Passenger Van, was not on-site during the visit, due to being repaired. The school age children were on-site today. A field trip is planned for tomorrow if the van is fixed and returned. The schedule for field trips was posted for the months of June and July 2025. No field trips have occurred thus far. The facility also has access to a small bus. Permission slips for transportation to each field trip is obtained, attendance with name to face recognition is used during the field trips and an attendance of who is on the trip remains at the center. I will return this week to monitor the vehicle if it is repaired. We reviewed section .1000 of the child care rules for transportation and discussed that a transportation policy must be created and reviewed with and signed by all parents. You will also have to review the transportation policy with staff who provide care during field trips. Please submit the policy to me by Friday, June 6, 2025.

Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit: Technical assistance (TA) was provided during the complaint visit on January 31, 2025, and was recorded on the visit summary reviewed and left with you at the end of the visit. TA for item #316 included children over the two years of age should not be grouped with infants. The ratio for the youngest in the group should always be followed. TA for item #316, was also provided and included. Staff-to-child ratios and grouping of children must be maintained and can affect the quality of care and safety of children. This allows for more individualized attention, which can lead to better learning, social development, and emotional health. The goal is to provide enough staff to ensure safety and quality care for children. Small group sizes help ensure children get enough one-on-one attention from their teacher or caregiver. In general, children who are younger should have more adults present and smaller group sizes.

Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit: Technical assistance (TA) was provided during the complaint visit on January 31, 2025, and was recorded on the visit summary reviewed and left with you at the end of the visit. TA for item #316 included children over the two years of age should not be grouped with infants. The ratio for the youngest in the group should always be followed. TA for item #316, was also provided and included. Staff-to-child ratios and grouping of children must be maintained and can affect the quality of care and safety of children. This allows for more individualized attention, which can lead to better learning, social development, and emotional health. The goal is to provide enough staff to ensure safety and quality care for children. Small group sizes help ensure children get enough one-on-one attention from their teacher or caregiver. In general, children who are younger should have more adults present and smaller group sizes. One-on-one attention helps children feel safe and secure and reduces feelings of being overwhelmed—for both children and adults. This responsive caregiving is very important to the ’s social-emotional development, physical well-being, and overall learning.

The staff members stated that the only trash can the infants have access to is the diaper trash can. I observed that there is a top on the trash can. I observed pacifiers on the ledge laid out with spacing in between. The staff member also showed me Pacifier Wipes they use to clean the pacifiers as needed. Conclusion #3: Based on the above information and observations during today’s visit, there was not enough information to support the allegation. This allegation was unsubstantiated. Allegation #4: There is a concern regarding children over the age of three who are cared for in the classroom with infants. Observation #4: During today’s visit, I interviewed two staff members in Space 2 AB as well as the assistant director. The two staff members stated that children over two years of age are in this space during the first hour and last hour of the day. The staff members did state that their own children are in the space when public school is not in session. The most recent occurrence happened yesterday as a staff member’s child was out of school. Conclusion #4: Based on the above information and observations during today’s visit, there was enough information to support the allegation. This allegation was substantiated. The following violations were cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 316 Children under one year of age were not kept separate from children two years and older. Staff members stated that children over the age of two years old are cared for in the Infant Room. 10A NCAC 09 .0713(a)(5) 532 All children were not held or placed in feeding chairs or other appropriate apparatus to be fed. In Space 2 AB I observed an infant laying on the floor drinking from their bottle. 10A NCAC 09 .0902(b) 1065 Child care providers scheduled to work in the infant room, did not complete ITS-SIDS training within two months of employment or did not complete the training every three years. Child care administrators did not complete the ITS-SIDS training within 90 days of employment and every three years thereafter. A staff member that did not complete ITS-SIDS training has worked in the infant room for more than two months. .1102(f) 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 violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. You must correct the violations cited during today's visit immediately and send me documentation verifying compliance on or before February 14, 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: • Children over the age of two years old should never be grouped with infants. The ratio for the youngest in the group should be always followed. • Any staff member that works in the infant classroom must have completed Infant/Toddler Safe Sleep and SIDS Risk Reduction (ITS-SIDS) training within two months of working with this age group. This training must be completed every three years. Staff members should sign up for a class prior to their expiration date. You can check with your local Health Department and or Surry County Partnership for Children to inquire about upcoming trainings. Additional Information/Consultation: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. • 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. • Please remember to cover up all outlet covers that are not currently in use. • Staff members should model appropriate eating behaviors by consuming food and beverages that meet the nutritional requirements specified in the Meal Pattern for Children in Child Care Programs in the presence of children in care. Based on the above information and observations during today’s visit, the investigation will remain open until additional collateral interviews have been conducted. At the completion of the visit, I was given verbal permission from Kayla Tucker to review this visit summary with Sarah Reavis. A copy was provided to you. During today’s visit, the allegations were discussed with you. You had the opportunity to respond. Information shared during this visit is documented in this visit summary.

CPR/ First Aid – I have run across instances where the The Basic Life Saver (BLS) course for CPR and First Aid offered by the American Red Cross did not list the First Aid portion of the training although staff reported they were trained in both courses. Be sure to check the cards provided to you by the trainer immediately when you receive them since you cannot receive credit for compliance with First Aid if the documentation is not on file. New staff must have CPR and First Aid within 90 days of hire. ITS-SIDS - Your new staff may be able to get a free ITS-SIDS training within your required timeframe through Surry County Smart Start.
