You, Dawn Fraley, Operator, assisted with today’s visit. A checklist was used to note the requirements I monitored today.

If any changes to the corporation need to be made or you decide to sell your business, then you must notify me at least thirty days prior to any changes occurring. The license cannot be bought, sold, subleased, transferred to another person or location, or inherited. A walk-through of the facility was completed today and all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in the indoor learning environment. Children throughout the facility were participating in routines, breakfast, nap, and free play during the visit. The last fire drill was conducted on May 4, 2026. The last emergency drill documented was conducted on April 15, 2026. The last playground inspection was conducted on May 6, 2026. You received the results of your most recent lead water testing showing no levels of lead above the allowed amount, on August 20, 2024. Per the facility data on the Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids website, your facility is exempt from lead-based paint and asbestos testing.

On or before June 2, 2026, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected, and how compliance will be maintained in the future. Include the violation item number, statement of compliance, date of the visit, and license ID number in the letter. Please be aware any information submitted by you is considered legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, it may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, an unannounced follow-up visit may be conducted. The Division of Child Development may take administrative action against the license and/or impose civil penalties based on the failure of the operator to correct any documented violations within the established time period. Please send your letter to [email protected]. You must maintain at least 75% Compliance History for each 18-month period as required by G.S. 110-90(4) (c). Prior to today's visit, your program maintained a compliance history of 92%. Please note any violations cited during future visits will negatively impact your compliance history. Repeated violations or violations left unresolved may lead to an administrative action. Technical assistance was provided on the following: 1. All hazardous items with multiple warnings and items in aerosol containers must be kept in locked storage. Items labeled “keep out of reach of children” with no other warnings can be stored five (5) feet off the ground. I suggested you check the bathroom used by children each morning before the child care children arrive to ensure all items are stored properly. The hazardous products were removed from the restroom and placed in locked storage during the visit. You stated hazardous products will remain in the locked cabinet under the kitchen sink. 2. The family child care home operator shall maintain the following health records for each enrolled child, including his or her own child(ren) who are not school-age: a copy of the child's immunization record. I suggested you ask parents to provide the immunization record or exemption during the enrollment process to ensure the documentation is on file in a timely manner. I also suggested you document all required documentation on the children’s file checklist found on the DCDEE website under the “Provider” tab to ensure all required documentation is on file. 3. 3. The following provisions apply to the administration of medication in family child care homes: No prescription or over-the-counter medication and no topical, non-medical ointment, repellent, lotion, cream, fluoridated toothpaste or powder shall be administered to any child: without written authorization from the child's parent; without written instructions from the child's parent, physician or other health professional; in any manner not authorized by the child's parent, physician or other health professional; after its expiration date; for non-medical reasons, such as to induce sleep; or with a known allergy to the medication. I suggested you keep blank copies of the permission to administer medication form near the locked box used to store medication and have the parent complete the form immediately when a medication is brought into the facility. I also suggested you keep the completed permission to administer medication forms in the locked box used to store medication to ensure they are on file and available to review. 4. The parent or health care professional of each child under 15 months of age shall provide the operator an individual written feeding plan for the child. This plan shall be followed at the home. This plan shall include the child's name, be signed by the parent or health care professional, and be dated when received by the operator. Each infant's plan shall be modified in consultation with the child's parent or health care professional to reflect changes in the child's needs as he or she develops. The feeding plans for each infant shall include the type and amount of milk, formula and food, the frequency of feedings and be available for reference by the operator. I suggested you review the infant feeding plan with each infant’s parent on a regular basis to ensure it is up to date. Consultation: We discussed the QRIS Modernization and the Pathway to the Stars.
