The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to obtain information regarding alleged violations of child care requirements related to children’s hygiene and transportation. You, Pamela Lee, Administrator, were present when I arrived and were notified of the purpose of the visit. I reviewed the allegation with you, and you were given the opportunity to provide additional information. I conducted observations in all rooms used to care for enrolled children, monitored the vehicle you use to provide transportation and reviewed files of children who are transported. The allegations are as follows: Children’s hygiene is not attended to, and children were not evaluated for injury following a vehicle accident. Staff/child ratio, group size, supervision, use of licensed space, space capacity, license restrictions, and the outdoor environment were monitored. The license and emergency care plan were posted. Fire drills, medication administration, and storage of hazardous products were also monitored. Additionally, I observed the indoor and outdoor space used by the children. Twenty-nine (29) children were observed in care ranging from ages five-month-olds) to four (4) years old. Children were observed playing in centers with developmentally appropriate materials, interacting with caregivers, and napping. The following violation was documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 1110 Vehicles used to transport children enrolled in the child care center did not comply with all applicable State and federal laws and regulations. On December 1, 2023, Ms. Gauthier received a failure to yield violation. .1002(b) 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. The violation documented today must be corrected immediately. On or before February 28, 2024, 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 considered legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this is a falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit may be completed. Mail or email the information to: If you email the compliance letter, it must be sent from the email address on file with 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 The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was ninety-two percent (92%) as of February 13, 2024. CORPORATION STATUS: Mount Olive Kiddie Kollege, Inc. is listed as the current owner of this center. According to information verified on the North Carolina Secretary of State’s website, Mount Olive Kiddie Kollege, Inc. remains Current and Active. Prior to making any changes to the corporation status, please contact me to discuss change of ownership procedures. The corporation status for your program must always remain Current and Active. Failure to comply may affect your child care license. STAFF INTERVIEW: Based on the observations completed in each classroom, the children’s faces were clean. There was no evidence of children with runny noses or with leftover food on their faces. You were interviewed regarding the allegations. You were given the opportunity to answer questions and express concerns. You stated that when children’s faces are dirty after a meal or if they have a runny nose the teachers clean the faces with wash clothes and hands are washed. When the children are outside and the faces need to be cleaned the staff have bags with baby wipes and tissues to clean hands and faces. Based on information received from you and my observations, the finding regarding the allegation of children’s hygiene is not attended to was unsubstantiated. When asked about the vehicle accident that occurred on December 1, 2023, you stated there was a minor accident while picking up school age from one of the elementary schools. Jessi Gauthier was the driver of the van (JFS-3927), and she called you immediately to inform you of the accident. You proceeded to call and notify the parents or legal guardians of each of the children. No parent or legal guardian expressed they wanted their child seen by a medical professional. The police report was reviewed, and Ms. Gauthier received a failure to yield violation. Based on information received from you and reviewing the police report the findings regarding the allegation of children were not evaluated for injury following a vehicle accident was found unsubstantiated. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: Childcare licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy childcare environment. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your type of program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with the applicable laws and rules; always whether they have been monitored or specifically discussed with you in the past. The best way for you to ensure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the childcare laws and rules on the Division of Child Development and Early Education’s website. TRANSPORTATION: In the event that there is another vehicle accident best practice is to notify your child care consultant of the accident and to send in the police report. Please review your transportation policies and procedures with all staff who drive the van to pick up children. RESOURCES: CHILD A CARE RULE CHANGES: The Child Care Commission adopted child care rule changes in January 2024. Changes relate to definitions; lead and asbestos for centers and family child care homes; building requirements for family child care homes; multi-unit child care centers; and criminal background checks. Consultants will assist as you begin to review and implement the changes, but please note, some of the rule changes may or may not impact your facility. An example is the rules in section .2600 for multi-unit child care center. These rules are specific to child care centers with multiple licensed centers within one building. Please ensure you are using the updated January 2024 rule book, and view information in the DCDEE Moodle (enroll if necessary). You will need to have an NCID - the same NCID that you use for the health & safety training, WORKS login, and/or the CBC Portal - to participate in Moodle training.
