The process of notifying the Division 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 in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care 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.

Programs still have the option to choose to voluntarily complete the star rated license reassessment if they so desire.

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 christine.rosinski@dhhs.nc.gov. 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 93%. 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 may be stored five (5) feet off the ground. I suggested you have staff check their classroom thoroughly each morning to ensure all hazardous products are stored properly. The Instant Cold Pack was removed from the classroom and placed in the locked kitchen during the visit. 2. Any medication remaining after the course of treatment is completed, after authorization is withdrawn or after authorization or medication has expired must be returned to the child's parents. Any medication the parent fails to retrieve within 72 hours of completion of treatment, or withdrawal of authorization, should be discarded. I suggested you keep extra permission to administer medication forms in each classroom so that the staff member can have the parent complete a new form when the old form expires. I also suggested you have staff members check medications and permission to administer medication forms at least monthly to ensure no forms and no medications have expired. 3. Emergency medical care information must be on file for each child. That information must include: (1) the name, address, and telephone number of the parent or other person to be contacted in case of an emergency; (2) the responsible party's choice of health care professional; (3) any chronic illness and any medication taken for that illness; and (4) any other information that has a direct bearing on ensuring safe medical treatment for the child. This emergency medical care information must be on file in the center on the child's first day of attendance and must be updated as changes occur and at least annually. I suggested you create a schedule to have all families update emergency information regularly to ensure the information is updated at least annually. 4. The staff member who conducts the enrollment conference must provide a written copy of and explain the center's discipline policies to each child's parents at the time of enrollment. The child care center must obtain from each parent, legal guardian, or full-time custodian a statement that attests that a copy of the center's written discipline policies was given to and discussed with him or her. That statement must include: the child's name; the date of enrollment; and if different, from the enrollment date the date the parent, legal guardian, or full-time custodian signed the statement. The signed, dated statement must be in the child's record. I suggested you create an enrollment packet to be given to parents to ensure all required information is obtained and on file for each child upon enrollment. 5. All staff members must review the center's Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during orientation and on an annual basis thereafter with the staff member trained in Emergency Preparedness and Response. Documentation of the review must be maintained at the center in the individual's personnel file or in a file designated for emergency preparedness and response plan documents. All substitutes and volunteers counted in ratio must be informed of the child care center's Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan and its location. Documentation of this notice must be maintained in the individual personnel files or in a file designated for emergency preparedness and response plan documents. I suggested you continue to review your facility’s Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during a staff meeting with all staff members after you review and update the plan each year. I also suggested that you ensure the owner of the facility is present at the staff meeting when the Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan is reviewed each year. As a result of tropical storm Helene and a declared natural disaster in Western North Carolina, technical assistance was provided to assist the child care provider in achieving compliance: 1. Except during the first and last operating hours of the day, children under one year of age shall be kept separate from children two years of age and over. A child two years of age and older may be placed with children under one year of age when a physician certifies that the developmental age of the child makes this placement appropriate. One (1) child, two (2) years of age, was present in Space #1 with one (1) child, three (3) months of age. A hand written statement on a piece of printer paper was on file from a physical therapist stating the child, two (2) years of age, should be placed in a younger classroom. You must have a statement on file from the child’s physician. You reached out to the child’s guardian during the visit to request that a statement be obtained from the child’s physician. The child’s guardian stated they would contact the child’s physician today. As a reminder, the staff/child ratio for the youngest child in each group must be maintained. Consultation: As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024.

A safe and comfortable bed, crib, or cot, equipped with a firm waterproof mattress at least four inches thick must be provided for each child who remains in the center after midnight.
