S. Hooker, lead teacher, was present and assisted with the visit. Currently, this center operates with a GS 110-106 Notice of Compliance. The last Annual Compliance visit was completed April 9, 2024. The last sanitation inspection was completed March 2, 2026 earning a “Approved” rating. The last fire inspection was completed May 13, 2025 and approved for day and nighttime care. Children were observed engaging in free choice center play, infant play, group time and outdoor play. Observed interactions between teachers and children were nurturing in nature. This facility is owned by Corinth Baptist Church Daycare Ministry, Inc. The corporation is listed as current/active in the North Carolina Secretary of State corporation’s database. The corporation that owns this facility is required to always maintain a current/active status. Failure to do so could result in Administrative Action. I reviewed contact information for the owner and the facility with you and you verified the current information listed with DCDEE remains correct. The following violations of child care requirements were documented Violation Number Comment Rule 847 Parent's medication authorization did not include required information. There was no medication authorization form for a container of Desitin and A&D ointment in space #3. There was also no form for the Abuterol stored in space #2. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(4)(6-9) 849 Leftover medicines were not returned to the parent after the course of treatment was completed, after authorization was withdrawn or after authorization had expired and/or medication was not discarded within 72 hours of completion of treatment or withdrawal of authorization. A container of diaper cream expired 2/2026 in space #5. .0803(12) 858 Plastic bags, materials that could be torn apart and toy parts small enough to be swallowed were accessible to children under three years of age. I observed a gray plastic grocery bag in a cubby and the cubby next to it had diapers in their plastic bag packaging inside. .0604(q) 1048 All staff did not successfully complete certification in First Aid appropriate to the age of children in care. Verification of staff completion of First Aid training from an approved training organization was not in the staff file. A staff member hired 4/21/25 has a first aid training that expired 2/2026. The staff member hired on 10/20/25 has yet to complete first aid training. .1102(c) 1049 All staff did not successfully complete certification in CPR training appropriate to the age of the children in care. Verification of staff completion of the CPR course from an approved training organization was not in the staff file. A staff member hired 4/21/25 has CPR training that expired 2/2026. The staff member hired on 10/20/25 has yet to complete CPR training. .1102(d) 1320 Children's records that include an application for enrollment, medical and immunization records, and permission to seek emergency medical care was not on file for each child. There is no medical assessment on file for a child enrolled on 1/27/26. GS 110-91(1);.0302(d)(2); .0304(g) 1874 The Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy was not reviewed with new staff prior to providing care with children and/or a signed acknowledgement with all the required information was not maintained in the staff person's file. There was documentation signed by staff hired on 10/17/25 that they reviewed the SBS/AHT policy. .0608(d)(1-4) 1897 The child care administrator and all staff did not complete the Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment.The staff member hired on 4/21/25 did not complete this training until 11/6/25.

A signed and dated letter of compliance can be mailed or emailed to me and must be received by March 18, 2026. If mailing, you must submit two (2) signed and dated copies. My mailing and email addresses are noted at the bottom. The letter of compliance must detail how you plan to maintain compliance in the future in addition to how it was corrected. Please be aware that any written information you submit regarding the correction of the violation is legal documentation. Therefore, it is important that all submitted information is accurate and truthful. If it is determined that submitted information was inaccurate or willfully falsified, an Administrative Action, including Revocation of the facility’s license could be issued. COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit your compliance history was 88% over an eighteen (18) month period. CHILDREN & STAFF RECORDS I monitored ten (10) percent, or more, of children’s records and a violation was documented. A child enrolled on 1/27/26 does not have the required medical assessment on file. The child is indicated on the children’s record form. Medical assessments are required to be on file by or prior to the first day of enrollment, nor can it be more than a year old from enrollment. Medical assessments, completed by health care professionals, ensure the child is medically fit to attend and participate in typical activities. I monitored all new staff records and ten (10) percent or more new staff and current staff records. Four (4) violations were observed or documented. All staff mentioned have been indicated on the staff and training worksheet, of which is a copy was left with you. The staff member hired on 4/21/25 has a CPR and first aid training that expired February 2026. Another staff person hired on 10/20/25 must complete CPR and first aid training, which is required within the first ninety (90) days of hire. I indicated due dates for the health and safety training for staff that are still within their first year of employment. Please ensure that all other staff have completed/updated their health and safety trainings as it must be renewed every five (5) years. MEDICATION While monitoring space #2 I noted there was no medication authorization form for a child with Albuterol medication on-site. Nor was a medication authorization form available for containers of Desitin or A&D ointment in space #3. There was a container of A&D ointment in space #5 that expired 2/2026. Child Care Rules require that any medication kept on-site has a medication authorization form to ensure it is not given to a child without written permission and instructions on doing so. These forms must be updated when the twelve (12) month time frame is over, or the medication must be sent home within seventy-two (72) hours. HEALTH AND SAFETY I observed a cubby in space #3 with a grocery bag hanging in it. The cubbies were below five (5) feet in height. The cubby next to it stored diapers still in the plastic bag packaging. Plastic bags that are easily torn must be kept at least five (5) feet above the floor or otherwise inaccessible when children under the age of three (3) are cared for in a room. This ensures they do not rip/tear it and injure themselves. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS: Technical assistance was given regarding ensuring that staff are keeping their personal bags/purses locked in storage in case otc medication, cleaning products, etc. are inside. Should a bag be unlocked in rooms where children have access it is considered part of their environment and may be monitored. Each child must have their own cubby or alternate space to store their belongings. This could be a basket labeled with their name or a plastic bin. Cubbies or spaces for belongings cannot be shared to limit the spread of germs or illnesses as some can last longer than a day or two. Please be reminded that medical action plans must be completed annually for those with medications that require one. ABCMS PROVIDER PORTAL Administrative staff have completed the required ABCMS provider portal training and set up a roster for the program. However, the majority of new employees have not been added, and old employees have not been removed. This roster must be maintained and kept current to continue meeting the requirement that DCDEE is notified within five (days) when new staff is hired. I emailed three (3) documents with instructions on linking staff, applicant instructions and portal guidance. Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all applicable laws and rules. The best way to do so is to periodically review the child care laws and rules. The current rule book dated July 1, 2025, is available at the DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/. There are also modules reviewing Child Care Rules available on Moodle, which can be found on the Division website. I recommend you frequently click the “What’s New” tab to stay informed of all updates on the DCDEE website. Please feel free to contact me at (984) 867-7089 or email at Felicia.faison@dhhs.nc.gov for questions and assistance. If needed my mailing address is PO Box 61161, Raleigh NC 27661. You may also contact Susan Fuller, Licensing Supervisor at (252) 373-9809. If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000). All information in this report has been reviewed with me today.I understand that it is my responsibility to maintaincompliance with applicable NC Child Care Requirements at all times

STAFF/CHILD INTERACTION & OBSERVATIONS Each space had age-appropriate toys and materials available to use. There were also schedules posted in each space which the groups followed. Upon my arrival around 1:25pm children were observed napping safely in spaces #1-#4. At 2pm children in each space began waking from their nap and completing toileting/diapering and handwashing routines as posted on the schedule. The children were then served a snack of animal cookies and yogurt which was noted on the posted menu. MEDICATION While monitoring classrooms I observed a container of Aveeno baby lotion that expired January 2025 and Aquaphor diaper cream that expired March 2025. I brought these items to front office for you to return to families. The medication administration permission for one child’s Desitin and Babyganics sunscreen was signed on 6/24/24 and expired 6/24/25. The expired medications should be returned to parents or discarded. Also, ensure that parents complete a separate permission form for their diaper creams and sunscreens and not list two (2) on the same form. The instructions will be different for each. Fire drills and shelter-in-place/lockdown drills have been completed within the required time frames. You stated that no new staff have been hired since the last monitoring visit on March 18, 2025. QRIS MODERNIZATION S. Hooker, lead teacher, was not present today. I will contact her this month regarding this program's interest in the new QRIS Pathway to the Stars rated license process. While this program currently operates with a Notice of Compliance and not a rated license it is something to consider. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Technical assistance discussed regarding ensuring each teacher stores aerosol sunscreen in locked storage, the item should be thrown away when empty. Place handwashing signs by each sink used by the children so they may always reference it for the correct steps. ABCMS-CRMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK PORTAL 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. I confirmed that the ABCMS Provider Portal training offered through the DCDEE Moodle website has been completed. There is roster for this program in the ABCMS system, but current staff must add themselves to the program’s roster and staff who no longer work at the center must be removed. I emailed a guide to S. Hooker regarding portal access, applicant instructions and connecting applications. There are also email addresses and phone numbers to reference for technical assistance related to the ABCMS Provider Portal. The Clean Water for Carolina Kids program is expanding to the Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program. This is a legislatively mandated effort to address lead and asbestos hazards in North Carolina public schools, licensed child care centers, and licensed family child care homes. Participation allows facilities to meet all rule requirements for identified lead and asbestos hazards, as required by law. Rules 10A NCAC 41C .1001 through .1007 require all programs to be free of lead and asbestos hazards. RTI is coordinating all the lead in water, paint and asbestos testing and remediation. Currently operating child care facilities are required to test for lead in the paint and asbestos once unless the consultant notes a concern during a visit and refers to the program to environmental health. After reviewing the website, I observed that this program completed the second round of lead water testing in September 2024. You will not be due again until 2027. This program has also completed the required lead paint and asbestos testing with no hazards identified. If you have not already done so, please be reminded that the Child Care Immunization Report will be due soon. Please check your email for correspondence related to this report.

S. Hooker, lead teacher, was present and assisted with the visit. Currently, this center operates with a GS 110-106 Notice of Compliance. The last Annual Compliance visit was completed April 9, 2024. The last sanitation inspection was completed November 18, 2024 earning a “Superior” rating. The last fire inspection was completed April 3, 2024 and approved for day and nighttime care. Children were observed engaging in free choice center play, infant tummy time, group time and outdoor play. Observed interactions between teachers and children were nurturing in nature. This facility is owned by Corinth Baptist Church Daycare Ministry, Inc. The corporation is listed as current/active in the North Carolina Secretary of State corporation’s database. The corporation that owns this facility is required to always maintain a current/active status. Failure to do so could result in an Administrative Action. I reviewed contact information for the owner and the facility with you and you verified the current information listed with DCDEE remains correct. The following violations of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 526 Menus for all meals and snacks were not current or posted where easily seen by parents and cook. There was no current menu posted where easily seen by parents. 10A NCAC 09 .0901(b) 601 Refrigerator(s) did not maintain a temperature of 45 degrees F. or below. The refrigerator in space #4 felt warm and the thermometer read 60 degrees Fahrenheit. 15A NCAC 18A .2806(j)(2) 847 Parent's medication authorization did not include required information. The medication authorization form for a container of Aquaphor for H. Strickland expired 2/22/24. There was no medication authorization on file for a container of Aquaphor for T. Thomas. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(4)(6-9) 1324 Signed and dated statement by parent that discipline policy received and explained at enrollment was not in child's file. There was no signed and dated statement that the parents of the child enrolled on 4/24/23 received the discipline policy. .1804(c) The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance can be mailed or emailed to me and must be received by April 1, 2025. If mailing, you must submit two (2) signed and dated copies. My mailing and email addresses are noted at the bottom. The letter of compliance must detail how you plan to maintain compliance in the future in addition to how it was corrected. Please be aware that any written information you submit regarding the correction of the violation is legal documentation. Therefore, it is important that all submitted information is accurate and truthful. If it is determined that submitted information was inaccurate or willfully falsified, an Administrative Action, including Revocation of the facility’s license could be issued. COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit your compliance history was 87% over an eighteen (18) month period. CHILDREN RECORDS I monitored ten (10) percent, or more, of children’s records and a violation was documented. A child enrolled on 4/24/23 does not have documentation that parents/guardians received or reviewed the center’s discipline policy. Child Care Rules require that parents of enrolled children review the policy, and sign a statement to that effect, prior to or on the first day of enrollment. STAFF RECORDS I monitored all new staff records and ten (10) percent of current staff records. No violations were observed or documented. MEDICATION While monitoring space #3 I noted the medication authorization form for H. Strickland expired 2/22/24 for Aquaphor. There was also a different container of Aquaphor for an enrolled child that did have a corresponding medication authorization form. Space #2 had a container of Desitin on-site with no corresponding medication authorization form. Child Care Rules require that any medication kept on-site have medication authorization form on-site to ensure it is no given to a child without written permission and instructions on doing so. These forms must either be updated when the twelve (12) month time-frame is over or the medication must be sent home withing seventy-two (72) hours. NUTRITION & SANITATION The only current menu was posted in the kitchen where only staff are allowed. A current copy of the program’s menu must be posted in a place where parents may review the scheduled meals for enrolled children. I also observed that the refrigerator in space #4 felt warm and the thermometer reached sixty (60) degrees. Either the refrigerator or the thermometer is no longer in working order, or possible both. I recommend switching thermometers and leaving the door closed overnight to get a correct temperature and determine the best course of action to maintain compliance. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS: Technical assistance given regarding checking that all required items are re-posted when spaces are moved, rearranged or re-painted. Staff/child ratio posters are required to be posted and appropriately marked for the age group in each space. The infant safe sleep policy must be posted in the space used to care for infants where parents and visitors may see it. Parents must list the amount of any over the counter medication, like sunscreen and diaper cream, when left for staff to administer. “As needed” does not meet Child Care Rule requirements. They must also specify when the medication is needed like after each diaper change, every time they go outdoors but not “as needed.” The Clean Water for Carolina Kids program is expanding to the Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program. This is a legislatively mandated effort to address lead and asbestos hazards in North Carolina public schools, licensed child care centers, and licensed family child care homes.

Child Care Rules require that any medication kept on-site have medication authorization form on-site to ensure it is no given to a child without written permission and instructions on doing so. These forms must either be updated when the twelve (12) month time-frame is over or the medication must be sent home withing seventy-two (72) hours. NUTRITION & SANITATION The only current menu was posted in the kitchen where only staff are allowed. A current copy of the program’s menu must be posted in a place where parents may review the scheduled meals for enrolled children. I also observed that the refrigerator in space #4 felt warm and the thermometer reached sixty (60) degrees. Either the refrigerator or the thermometer is no longer in working order, or possible both. I recommend switching thermometers and leaving the door closed overnight to get a correct temperature and determine the best course of action to maintain compliance. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS: Technical assistance given regarding checking that all required items are re-posted when spaces are moved, rearranged or re-painted. Staff/child ratio posters are required to be posted and appropriately marked for the age group in each space. The infant safe sleep policy must be posted in the space used to care for infants where parents and visitors may see it. Parents must list the amount of any over the counter medication, like sunscreen and diaper cream, when left for staff to administer. “As needed” does not meet Child Care Rule requirements. They must also specify when the medication is needed like after each diaper change, every time they go outdoors but not “as needed.” The Clean Water for Carolina Kids program is expanding to the Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program. This is a legislatively mandated effort to address lead and asbestos hazards in North Carolina public schools, licensed child care centers, and licensed family child care homes. Participation allows facilities to meet all rule requirements for identified lead and asbestos hazards, as required by law. Rules 10A NCAC 41C .1001 through .1007 require all programs to be free of lead and asbestos hazards. RTI is coordinating all the lead in water, paint and asbestos testing and remediation. Currently operating child care facilities are required to test for lead in paint and asbestos once unless the consultant notes a concern during a visit and refers the program to environmental health. After reviewing the website, I noted that the center completed the lead water testing in September 2024 and is not due again until 2027. The center is exempt from lead paint and asbestos testing. Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all applicable laws and rules. The best way to do so is to periodically review the child care laws and rules. The current rule book dated November 1, 2024, is available at the DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/. There are also modules reviewing the new Child Care Rules available on Moodle, which can be found on the Division website. I recommend you frequently click the “What’s New” tab to stay informed of all updates on the DCDEE website.

GS 110-106 · Violation
Name of Operation: CORINTH BAPTIST CHURCH DAYCARE Facility ID: 64000449 Consultant: FELICIA FAISON Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 10/24/2024 Number Present: 24 Completed Date: 10/24/2024 Age: From 0 To 4 Total Minutes: 225 Time In: 11:05 AM Time Out: 02:50 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Routine Unannounced Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of my unannounced visit today was to monitor compliance with child care requirements applicable to a routine unannounced visit. S. Hooker, lead teacher, was present and assisted with the visit. Currently, this center operates with a GS 110-106 Notice of Compliance. The last Annual Compliance visit at this center was completed April 9, 2024. The posted sanitation inspection was completed February 23, 2024, earning a “Superior” rating. The last fire inspection was completed April 3, 2024, and the facility was approved for daytime care only. Children were observed having lunch and group time. Interactions between staff and children were observed to be nurturing in nature. The following violations of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 805 Fire drills were not practiced monthly and/or the drill record was incomplete. No fire drill was documented ass completed for September of this year. .0604(t); .0302(d)(5) 849 Leftover medicines were not returned to the parent after the course of treatment was completed, after authorization was withdrawn or after authorization had expired and/or medication was not discarded within 72 hours of completion of treatment or withdrawal of authorization. I observed two (2) expired diaper creams in space #2 and an expired Coppertone sunscreen stick in space #4. Permission to administer forms for one child’s two (2) diaper creams expired May 2024. .0803(12) 887 Caregivers did not document compliance with visually checking on sleeping infants aged 12 months or younger and/or the documents were not maintained for a minimum of one month. No sleep checks were documented for this week for infants enrolled in space #3. .0606(g) 1811 Shelter-in-place or lockdown drills were not practiced every three months and/or drill record was incomplete. No shelter-in-place or lockdown drill was documented as completed since June 27, 2024. .0604(u);.0302(d)(8) The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance can be mailed or emailed to me and must be received by November 7, 2024. If mailing, you must submit two (2) signed and dated copies. My mailing and email addresses are noted at the bottom. The letter of compliance must detail how the violations were corrected. Please be aware that any written information you submit regarding the correction of the violation is legal documentation. Therefore, it is important that all submitted information is accurate and truthful. If it is determined that submitted information was inaccurate or willfully falsified, an Administrative Action, including Revocation of the facility’s license could be issued. STAFF/CHILD INTERACTION & OBSERVATIONS While not required, each space had age-appropriate toys and materials available to use that are in good condition and posted schedules. Each classroom was having lunch upon my arrival. Teachers supervised and assisted children as needed. I would encourage new staff to sit and eat with the children during lunch. They can also engage their group in conversation during lunch as time permits. The children in space #4 completed lunch by the time observed their group. They were gathered on the carpet with their teacher as she read them a book. She asked them questions about what they saw on the pages and their thoughts on the what the characters were doing. These questions were open-ended and a great way to engage the children think critically and use their vocabulary while building their vocabulary as they listened. MEDICATION While monitoring classrooms I observed a container of Aquaphor cream that expired September2024 and Butt paste that expired August 2024. S. Hooker took these items to the front office to return to parents this afternoon. I also observed expired Coppertone sunscreen stick, as of June 2024, in space #4. The medication administration permission for one child’s Aquaphor and End It diaper creams expired in May 2024. The expired medications should be returned to parents or discarded. The permission forms for the child in space #4 must be current or the items returned to the family. Technical assistance given related to writing the expiration dates of each medication on the form where indicated and reviewing them at least once a month to stay current. Also, ensure that parents complete a separate permission form for their diaper creams and sunscreens and not list two (2) on the same form. The instructions will be different for each. PROGRAM RECORDS I reviewed the Emergency Drill Log and noted that a fire drill has been documented as completed since September 2024. There has not been a lockdown or shelter-in-place drill documented since June 27, 2024, and one should have been completed in September. Technical assistance given regarding using a paper calendar to track when these drills are due, setting reminders on your phone or email calendar too ensure they are completed or completing them on the same day every month but at different times of the day. SAFE SLEEP No infant sleep checks documented for this week for any enrolled infants. The staff person said the visual checks were completed daily but transferred to the sleep check sheet at a later time. These checks must be documented as they occur on a document where all required information is listed. The center uses the sleep check sheets offered by DCDEE. I recommend you talk with the staff that work in the classroom for infants and develop a system that helps ensure these are completed daily and at the time they occur. This could be securing the sheets above each crib to document as they visually check. STAFF RECORDS I observed that three (3) new staff members have been hired since the last visit on April 9th. I monitored their files. All staff members will need to complete the required CPR and First Aid (FA) training by the dates indicated on the staff/training worksheet. A. Ertley has a CPR/FA certificate from New Life CPR, but this is not an approved DCDEE trainer. I also noted when the Health and Safety trainings are due for each employee and they all must complete the Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training by 12/3/24 and 12/4/24 as noted on the worksheet. I left a copy of the approved CPR and First Aid trainers list for your reference. This list may be found on the DCDEE website noted below. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Technical assistance was given related to checking mulch depth while completing playground inspections. You could use a ruler or other probe, that indicates inches, to keep a check on this. A six (6) inch depth must be maintained for the resilient surfacing on both playgrounds. Technical assistance discussed regarding having staff check all outlets prior to children arrival and throughout the day to ensure they are covered. It may help to place a sign by each outlet reminding staff to replace the cover. Please be reminded that the soapy water bottles and disinfectant spray bottles must be kept five (5) feet above the floor when not in use. GETTING HELP WITH CHALLENGING BEHAVIORS: You inquired about assistance related to children biting while in class. I recommend contacting the Healthy Social Behaviors in Child Care Centers Project (HSB) provides ideas to create a learning environment that can assist in preventing challenging behaviors.

The corporation that owns this facility is required to always maintain a current/active status. Failure to do so could result in an Administrative Action. I reviewed contact information for the owner and the facility with you and you verified the current information listed with DCDEE remains correct. The following violations of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 849 Leftover medicines were not returned to the parent after the course of treatment was completed, after authorization was withdrawn or after authorization had expired and/or medication was not discarded within 72 hours of completion of treatment or withdrawal of authorization.

COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit your compliance history was 89% over an eighteen (18) month period. CHILDREN RECORDS I monitored ten (10) percent, or more, of children’s records and two (2) violations were documented. A child enrolled 10/4/22 has a medical report and immunization report on file dated 12/13/22. Child care rules require that a medical and immunization report be on file for all children within thirty (30) days of enrollment. This helps ensure they are medically cleared for routine activities at the facility.1 STAFF RECORDS I monitored all new staff records and ten (10) percent of current staff records. Four (4) violations were documented. While the staff person hired 2/6/23 completed the required Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment on 5/23/23 it was required to be completed by 4/6/23. There is no documentation that staff have reviewed the center’s EPR plan annually. The plan must be reviewed by administrators and staff annually and documentation (signed and dated) placed in their file. The staff person hired 2/6/23 did not complete an emergency information form or health questionnaire annually. This must be done as changes occur or at least annually to ensure that center staff has the most up-to-date information in case of an emergency. MEDICATION While monitoring space #4 I observed a container of Desitin diaper cream that expired in February 2024. Expired medication must either be returned to parents of discarded to ensure that it is administered to children in care. J. Perry removed the medication from the classroom to return it to the parent. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS: The Clean Water for Carolina Kids program is expanding to the Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program. This is a legislatively mandated effort to address lead and asbestos hazards in North Carolina public schools, licensed child care centers, and licensed family child care homes. Participation allows facilities to meet all rule requirements for identified lead and asbestos hazards, as required by law. Rules 10A NCAC 41C .1001 through .1007 require all programs to be free of lead and asbestos hazards. RTI is coordinating all the lead in water, paint and asbestos testing and remediation. There are webinars that child care providers can watch to get instructions. Go to https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/ for more information. Currently operating child care facilities are required to test for lead in paint and asbestos once unless the consultant notes a concern during a visit and refers the program to environmental health. All existing licensed programs must complete the application summary for their program regarding lead paint and asbestos by May 1, 2024. The application is on the following website: https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/. The rule also requires all licensed child care centers to test all drinking water faucets and food preparation sinks for lead contamination once every three years. I recommend you review the date of your initial lead water testing to see if you are due this year.

GS 110-106 · Violation
Name of Operation: CORINTH BAPTIST CHURCH DAYCARE Facility ID: 64000449 Consultant: FELICIA FAISON Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 12/6/2023 Number Present: 29 Completed Date: 12/6/2023 Age: From 0 To 4 Total Minutes: 180 Time In: 09:45 AM Time Out: 12:45 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Routine Unannounced Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of my unannounced visit today was to monitor compliance with child care requirements applicable to a routine unannounced visit. J. Perry was present and assisted with the visit. Currently, this center operates with a GS 110-106 Notice of Compliance. The last Annual Compliance visit at this center was completed April 27, 2023. The posted sanitation inspection was completed September 8, 2023, earning a “Superior” rating. The last fire inspection was completed May 10, 2023, and the facility was approved for daytime care only. Children were observed completing a matching activity at tables, activity center play and diaper changing routines. Observed interactions between staff and children were nurturing in nature. The following violation of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 1874 The Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy was not reviewed with new staff prior to providing care with children and/or a signed acknowledgement with all the required information was not maintained in the staff person's file. A signed acknowledgement was not on file for the staff person hired 12/4/23 prior to caring for children. .0608(d)(1-4) The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance can be mailed or emailed to me and must be received by December 20, 2023. If mailing, you must submit two (2) signed and dated copies. My mailing and email addresses are noted at the bottom. The letter of compliance must detail how the violations were corrected. Please be aware that any written information you submit regarding the correction of the violation is legal documentation. Therefore, it is important that all submitted information is accurate and truthful. If it is determined that submitted information was inaccurate or willfully falsified, an Administrative Action, including Revocation of the facility’s license could be issued. STAFF/CHILD INTERACTION OBSERVATIONS & TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE While not required, each space had age-appropriate toys and materials available to use that are in good condition and posted schedules. The group in space #1 was gathered at the table with their teacher to work on a Christmas matching worksheet. This activity worked on their ability to recognize patterns and paste the shape to their worksheet. A child arrived in the middle of the activity and proper handwashing routines were completed. Free choice activity play and diaper changing routines were completed in spaces #2 and #3 during monitoring. The teachers in those rooms spoke with the children and asked questions about what they were doing such as working on puzzles. The group of two (2) year olds in space #4 were in the process of cleaning up to prepare for lunch time. The teacher used great language to help redirect a child who threw a toy at the shelf while cleaning up. She stood with them and said, “Wait a minute. Let’s place it on the shelf” and spoke to them about taking care of their toys. Children were given the opportunity to develop their cognitive, language and fine motor skills during the activities observed today. STAFF RECORDS You noted that two (2) new staff members have been hired since the last visit on April 27th. I monitored both files. There is no signed acknowledgement on file that the staff member hired 12/4/23 reviewed the programs shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma (SBS/AHT) policy prior to caring for children. Child Care Rules require this documentation to ensure staff are aware of the dangers of SBS/AHT and resources available to help limit it. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE I recommend you monitor the bolts used to secure the black border around the large play structure on the preschool playground and the small structure on the toddler playground. These bolts may sometimes migrate upward and not remain flush with the border and pose a hazard. Technical assistance discussed regarding using the most recent version of the infant feeding plan found on the Division website listed below. Every child who required a feeding plan had one, but the recent version includes more information and is easier to update as the child gets older. Technical assistance was also offered related to the magnetic lock used on the cabinet under the diaper changing table in space #2. The lock to the right cabinet sometimes sticks and does not lock properly upon closing. The teacher will need to double check after each closure, or it may need to be replaced as diaper creams are stored in this locked cabinet. REMINDERS The NC Commission for Public Health adopted and approved the amended rule regarding lead water testing effective October 1, 2019. The rule requires all licensed child care centers to test all drinking water faucets and food preparation sinks for lead contamination once every three years. If a child care center finds elevated concentrations of lead in the center’s water, they will be required to take immediate action. If your center was tested in 2020 you are due to re-test this year. I recommend you go to cleanwaterforcarolinakids.org regarding the second round of testing. Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all applicable laws and rules. The best way to do so is to periodically review the child care laws and rules.
