Name of Operation: KIDZ WORLD CHILD CARE AND LEARNING CENTER Facility ID: 64000471 Consultant: FELICIA FAISON Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 6/30/2026 Number Present: 28 Completed Date: 6/30/2026 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 242 Time In: 09:18 AM Time Out: 01:20 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Annual Comp Full Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of my unannounced visit today was to monitor compliance with child care requirements applicable to an annual compliance visit. S. Boone, administrator, was present and assisted with the visit. Currently, this center operates with a Notice of Compliance issued on February 2, 2024. The last sanitation inspection was completed April 21, 2026 earning a superior rating. The last fire inspection was completed March 4, 2026 and the facility was approved for daytime care only. You noted that school aged children are only enrolled during the school year for after-school care. No school aged children attend during the summer, so those requirements were not monitored. This center offers transportation during the school year for enrolled school-aged children. I monitored both vans and they currently meet transportation requirements. Ensure that any interior items in disrepair are repaired prior to the new school year. I observed children engaging in activity center play, outdoor play and group time reviewing (+) and (-) signs and adding/subtracting using circles drawn on the board in space #4. Observed interactions between teachers and children were positive and nurturing in nature. The following violations of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 533 Human milk, formula and other bottled beverages including sippy cups, sent from child's home were not fully prepared, dated, and labeled for the appropriate child. There was a bottle in space #1 that was labeled but not dated. There was a bottle in space #2 that was dated but not labeled. 15A NCAC 18A .2804(d) 718 Swings did not have surfacing that extends two times the length of the pivot point to the surface below beyond the external limits of the equipment. The area of resilient wood chip surfacing behind the swings did meet the required distance. .0605(m)(2) 721 All equipment and furnishings were not in good repair. There was blue metal car with areas of chipping paint and rusting. There were 2-3 metal spikes securing the black plastic playground board protruding. G.S. 110-91(6); .0601(b) 840 All corrosive agents, pesticides, bleaches, detergents, cleansers, polishes, any product which is under pressure in an aerosol dispenser, and any substance which may be hazardous to a child if ingested, inhaled, or handled were not stored in a locked room or cabinet. There were two (2) containers of aerosol shaving cream in a cabinet below the TV in space #5 that did not have an approved lock. There was a box of “Sting Kill” medication stored in the sanctuary first aid kit by the bathrooms. .2820(b) 1032 Child care providers and uncompensated providers who are not substitute providers or volunteers, including the director did not have a medical report on file prior to employment that was signed by a health care professional and/ or the medical report was older than 12 months. Staff hired on 8/11/25 and 5/28/26 completed a medical report after the first day of hire. 10A NCAC 09 .0701(a) 1033 On or before the first day of work, all staff, including the director and individuals who volunteer more than once per week did not provide results indicating that they were free of active TB and/or TB test or screening was older than 12 months. Staff hired on 8/11/25 and 5/28/26 completed TB screening/test after the first day of hire. .0701(a) 1321 Medical exam or health assessment record was not on file before or within 30 days after admission. A child enrolled on 2/17/22 does not have a medical report on file. GS110-91(1) 1323 Each child was not immunized as per Article 6 of Chapter 130A and an immunization record was not on file before or within 30 days after admission. A child enrolled on 2/17/22 has an immunization report on file dated 7/25/23 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(2) 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 July 13, 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 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. COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit your compliance history was 80% over an eighteen (18) month period. FACILITY PROFILE This facility is owned by Kidz World Child Care And Learning Center, 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 including Suspension or Revocation of the facility’s child care license. I reviewed the facility contact and owner information with you, S. Boone. You confirmed the information currently listed in the system remains correct. CHILDRENS RECORDS During a review of ten (10) percent of children records and a violation was documented. A child enrolled as on 2/17/22 did not have a health assessment on file and the immunization report was not submitted until 7/25/23. Child Care Rule require that a health assessment and immunization reports be completed and on file within thirty (30) days of their enrollment. This ensures that children are medically clear to participate in daily caregiving activities. The child noted above in indicate on the Children’s Records form. STAFF RECORDS I reviewed new staff and (10) percent, or more, of remaining staff records, and a violation was documented. Staff members hired 8/11/25 and 8/15/25 but did not complete their medical report until 3/9/26 and 9/2/25 respectively. The same employee also did not have a TB screening or test on file until 3/9/26 and 9/2/25. Child Care Rules require that staff have a medical report and TB screening/test completed and signed by a health care professional on or prior to their first day of employment. This ensures they are medically cleared for activities required to care for children. The staff members are indicated on the staff records and training sheets. OUTDOOR PLAY AREA AND EQUIPMENT While monitoring the outdoor play areas I observed a blue metal car with areas of chipping paint and rusting on the preschool playground. On the same playground there were 2-3 metal spikes securing the black plastic playground board protruding. Any metal play equipment that has chipped paint or rusted should either be repainted or removed to ensure that children do not have access to peeled or chipped pieces of paint. The center had play equipment and a swing set installed within the last year. The swing set does not have the recommend length of surfacing behind it as required by the rules. It is required that a swings have protective surfacing that extends two times the length of the pivot point to the surface below. The surfacing must be to the front and rear of the swing. I measure the length of surfacing at the rear of the swings to be six (6) feet and three (3) inches. However, the length of the pivot point is more than five (5) feet. I recommend that maintenance either extend the length of the surfacing behind the swings or remove them to ensure that safety requirements are met. NUTRITION FOR INFANTS AND TODDLERS While monitoring infant and toddler bottles/sippy cups in spaces #1 and #2 a violation was documented. In space #1 there was a bottle that was labeled with a name but no date. In space #2 there was a bottle that was labeled with a date but no name. It is required that all bottles and sippy cups be labeled with the child’s name and the date. This ensures that children are not given old bottles or bottles that were not meant for them. STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS I observed two (2) containers of aerosol shaving cream in the cabinet below the TV in space #5. While the cabinet has a child lock on it, aerosol products are required to be kept in an area with an approved two-step lock such as magnetic locks, key locks, combination lock, etc. I recommend moving these items to a space with an approved lock or utilizing the locks available on the cabinet. There was a box of “Sting Kill” otc medication in the first kit, located by the bathrooms, of space #5. All medication, that is not lifesaving, must be kept in long storage and have a parent/guardian signed authorization form to administer to enrolled children. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Technical assistance was given related to posting a copy of the menu in an area that parents and visitors may review. While a menu was posted in the kitchen, you stated that copies of the menu are sent to parents through the parental app used by the center. It’s best practice to have a copy posted for review by staff, substitute staff, parents and visitors. Continue to remind staff to ensure all outlets, including power strips, are covered when not in use. We also discussed ensuring that diaper wipes and plastic bags are stored in a manner that is not accessible to children. This can be with a child lock or at least five (5) feet above the floor. Monitor walls and storage closet doors for signs of disrepair and ensure the are repaired in a timely manner. Items discussed as technical assistance may warrant a violation if observed out of compliance. 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

You noted that school aged children are only enrolled during the school year for after-school care. No school aged children attend during the summer, so those requirements were not monitored. This center offers transportation during the school year for enrolled school-aged children. I monitored both vans and they currently meet transportation requirements. Ensure that any interior items in disrepair are repaired prior to the new school year. I observed children engaging in activity center play, outdoor play and group time reviewing (+) and (-) signs and adding/subtracting using circles drawn on the board in space #4. Observed interactions between teachers and children were positive and nurturing in nature. The following violations of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 533 Human milk, formula and other bottled beverages including sippy cups, sent from child's home were not fully prepared, dated, and labeled for the appropriate child. There was a bottle in space #1 that was labeled but not dated. There was a bottle in space #2 that was dated but not labeled. 15A NCAC 18A .2804(d) 718 Swings did not have surfacing that extends two times the length of the pivot point to the surface below beyond the external limits of the equipment.

There were two (2) containers of aerosol shaving cream in a cabinet below the TV in space #5 that did not have an approved lock. There was a box of “Sting Kill” medication stored in the sanctuary first aid kit by the bathrooms. .2820(b) 1032 Child care providers and uncompensated providers who are not substitute providers or volunteers, including the director did not have a medical report on file prior to employment that was signed by a health care professional and/ or the medical report was older than 12 months. Staff hired on 8/11/25 and 5/28/26 completed a medical report after the first day of hire. 10A NCAC 09 .0701(a) 1033 On or before the first day of work, all staff, including the director and individuals who volunteer more than once per week did not provide results indicating that they were free of active TB and/or TB test or screening was older than 12 months.

A child enrolled on 2/17/22 has an immunization report on file dated 7/25/23 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(2) 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 July 13, 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 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. COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit your compliance history was 80% over an eighteen (18) month period. FACILITY PROFILE This facility is owned by Kidz World Child Care And Learning Center, 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 including Suspension or Revocation of the facility’s child care license. I reviewed the facility contact and owner information with you, S. Boone. You confirmed the information currently listed in the system remains correct. CHILDRENS RECORDS During a review of ten (10) percent of children records and a violation was documented. A child enrolled as on 2/17/22 did not have a health assessment on file and the immunization report was not submitted until 7/25/23. Child Care Rule require that a health assessment and immunization reports be completed and on file within thirty (30) days of their enrollment. This ensures that children are medically clear to participate in daily caregiving activities. The child noted above in indicate on the Children’s Records form. STAFF RECORDS I reviewed new staff and (10) percent, or more, of remaining staff records, and a violation was documented. Staff members hired 8/11/25 and 8/15/25 but did not complete their medical report until 3/9/26 and 9/2/25 respectively. The same employee also did not have a TB screening or test on file until 3/9/26 and 9/2/25. Child Care Rules require that staff have a medical report and TB screening/test completed and signed by a health care professional on or prior to their first day of employment. This ensures they are medically cleared for activities required to care for children. The staff members are indicated on the staff records and training sheets. OUTDOOR PLAY AREA AND EQUIPMENT While monitoring the outdoor play areas I observed a blue metal car with areas of chipping paint and rusting on the preschool playground. On the same playground there were 2-3 metal spikes securing the black plastic playground board protruding. Any metal play equipment that has chipped paint or rusted should either be repainted or removed to ensure that children do not have access to peeled or chipped pieces of paint. The center had play equipment and a swing set installed within the last year. The swing set does not have the recommend length of surfacing behind it as required by the rules. It is required that a swings have protective surfacing that extends two times the length of the pivot point to the surface below. The surfacing must be to the front and rear of the swing. I measure the length of surfacing at the rear of the swings to be six (6) feet and three (3) inches. However, the length of the pivot point is more than five (5) feet. I recommend that maintenance either extend the length of the surfacing behind the swings or remove them to ensure that safety requirements are met. NUTRITION FOR INFANTS AND TODDLERS While monitoring infant and toddler bottles/sippy cups in spaces #1 and #2 a violation was documented. In space #1 there was a bottle that was labeled with a name but no date. In space #2 there was a bottle that was labeled with a date but no name. It is required that all bottles and sippy cups be labeled with the child’s name and the date. This ensures that children are not given old bottles or bottles that were not meant for them. STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS I observed two (2) containers of aerosol shaving cream in the cabinet below the TV in space #5. While the cabinet has a child lock on it, aerosol products are required to be kept in an area with an approved two-step lock such as magnetic locks, key locks, combination lock, etc. I recommend moving these items to a space with an approved lock or utilizing the locks available on the cabinet. There was a box of “Sting Kill” otc medication in the first kit, located by the bathrooms, of space #5. All medication, that is not lifesaving, must be kept in long storage and have a parent/guardian signed authorization form to administer to enrolled children. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Technical assistance was given related to posting a copy of the menu in an area that parents and visitors may review. While a menu was posted in the kitchen, you stated that copies of the menu are sent to parents through the parental app used by the center. It’s best practice to have a copy posted for review by staff, substitute staff, parents and visitors. Continue to remind staff to ensure all outlets, including power strips, are covered when not in use. We also discussed ensuring that diaper wipes and plastic bags are stored in a manner that is not accessible to children. This can be with a child lock or at least five (5) feet above the floor. Monitor walls and storage closet doors for signs of disrepair and ensure the are repaired in a timely manner. Items discussed as technical assistance may warrant a violation if observed out of compliance. 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

COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit your compliance history was 89% over an eighteen (18) month period. STAFF RECORDS You confirmed that two (2) new staff members have been hired since the last visit, and I reviewed both records. Staff were hired on 9/1/25 and 10/27/25 and have not completed a CPR or first aid training. The staff member hired 10/27/25 did not complete the medical report until 11/19/25 and the TB test 11/21/25. These forms must be completed and on file within their required time frames. SANITATION The trashcan used to dispose of soiled diapers and pull-ups in the bathroom between spaces #101 and #102 was not in compliance. The trash can did not have lid to contain the bio-contaminants. A lidded trash can is required for any items with bodily fluids on them to help keep children from accessing them. There were several cubbies in space #5 that were not labeled. Sanitation required that spaces for children’s personal belongings be labeled to ensure children, parents and staff put each child’s items in the correct cubby. This limits confusion and chances of the spread of germs. This was corrected when the teacher labeled those cubbies. MEDICATION I observed a container of Hello Bello sunscreen in space #102 that expired 2/2026. Expired items must be returned to parents or thrown away to ensure that no expired medications are administered to children within seventy-two (72) hours. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS: Continue to remind staff that outlets in all areas accessible to children must be covered if not in use. This includes the sanctuary area as this area is used for gross motor play for the children in care. Technical assistance discussed regarding fixing door latches that make them inaccessible when observed to be breaking or broken. Staff should keep personal bags in locked storage in case there are items or products, like lighters or over-the-counter medication, that are required to be so. If observed to be dirty rugs used in classrooms should be cleaned between the required six (6) months required by sanitation. Please monitor walls in each classroom for signs of disrepair such as chipping or peeling paint. 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.

Upon arrival, S. Boone, administrator, was present at the facility. The allegation of the report was reviewed with you, and you were given the opportunity to respond and ask questions. The following child care requirements were monitored: supervision, permit restrictions, staff/child ratios, and adequate/approved space. Permit restrictions for this facility include first shift care only, and children in care on ground level only. Children were observed engaging in activity center play and outdoor play. Observed interactions between teachers and children were nurturing in nature. The following violations of child care requirements were documented today. Violation Number Comment Rule 301 Minimum staff/child ratios and group sizes for the number and ages of children in care were not met. There were several times during the week of August 11th through the 14th. GS 110-91(7);.0713(a-d) 852 Incident reports were not completed each time a child was injured, it did not include all the information required in rule, it was not signed by the parent and/or it was not maintained in the child's file. A child was bitten by another child in space #1 on July 8th and no signed/completed incident report was available to review. .0802 (e) The violations documented must be corrected immediately. The signed and dated letter of compliance should be mailed or emailed to me by September 1, 2025, stating how the violations were corrected. My mailing address is noted at the bottom. Specifically, address steps that will be taken to ensure staff/child ratio requirements. Ensure to document if any staff meetings or new policies or procedures are developed and implemented related to sanitation and health. Please be aware any written information you submit regarding the correction of the violation is legal documentation. Therefore, it is important that all included 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. ALLEGATIONS There was a concern regarding alleged violation of the child care requirement regarding staff/child ratio, supervision, program records and nurture and care of children. FINDINGS: The allegations were shared with you and several staff members. There have been several incidents of children biting each other in spaces #1 and #2. While a parent was told through the parent portal, however there was no written and completed and signed incident report available for review or given to the parent. Information related to training on classroom management, specifically biting, is noted below. More than one staff member confirmed that there were times during the week of August 11th that space #2 was out of staff/child ratio with one (1) teacher and seven (7) children ages one to two years. One of the teachers assigned to that space was out on medical leave for week and B. Coley had all seven (7) enrolled children in space #2 at various times. You noted that you and two (2) other staff members would check in on the teacher and help out. You and staff noted that you have not heard concerns of or witnessed any treatment of children that was not nurturing or caring by staff members. Based on the information received, and my observations, the allegation regarding staff/child ratio and program records are substantiated. However, the allegations regarding supervision and nurture and care of children is not substantiated. Please be aware that a substantiated allegation and violations of child care requirements could warrant issuance of Administrative Action. I recommend you review section .2200 of the Child Care Rules regarding Administrative Actions. You may contact me with any questions. A follow-up visit will be conducted in the near future to monitor for compliance with staff/child ratio requirements. TECHNICAL ASSITANCE & CONSULTATION Technical assistance given regarding training’s offered by the Southwestern Child Development Commission website at www.swcdcinc.org which also offers approved training on these topics for a fee. They currently offer the following trainings: “Bite Marks,” “Classroom Rules and Behavior Expectations,” “Active Supervision Counts,” and various other topics. It may also be helpful to refer staff to the Healthy Social Behaviors (HSB) specialist as well as the hotline. For immediate assistance you, or staff, can call the Healthy Social Behaviors hotline and speak to a Support Behavior Advisor at 1-888-600-1685 by choosing option 1. You can also reach out to the Down East Partnership for Children regarding working with a Healthy Social Behavior Specialist. You were also informed that diaper wipes must be kept out of reach of children and stored at least five (5) feet above the floor. This ensures it is out of reach of children when not in use. We discussed that any policy the program has in place regarding a privacy policy must be followed as written and in line with parental consent. Pictures and videos should not be shared on private emails or social media accounts outside of approved accounts. Please remind maintenance and/or staff that rugs must be cleaned regularly so they remain clean and in good repair per Child Care and Sanitation Rules.

CHILDRENS RECORDS During a review of ten (10) percent of children’s records and they were in compliance with Child Care Requirements. STAFF RECORDS I reviewed all new staff and ten (10) percent of remaining staff records, and three (3) violations were documented. Staff hired 2/26/24 and 7/3/24 did not have documentation that they reviewed the center’s EPR plan on-site. Staff is required to review and document review of the EPR plan upon hire and yearly thereafter. The staff person hired 2/26/24 did not have documentation they reviewed the shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma (SBS/AHT) policy prior to caring for children. This ensures they are aware of dangers and signs of SBS and AHT and the steps to report it or seek help. The staff person re-hired 7/24/23 has a TB screening/test on file that is dated 3/23/21. When staff are hired their TB screening/test can be no more than twelve (12) months old or they must be tested again prior to working. MEDICATION While monitoring medication requirements I observed that a child enrolled in space #2 had a medication administration form that expired in June of this year for Aquaphor. Also, there was a container of Desitin stored with no medication administration form the child it belonged to. You removed these items from the space so parents could complete the required forms when they arrived to pick up. STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS There were several medications such as acetaminophen, aspirin, antihistamine medicine, ointments, etc. in a first aid kit mounted to the wall in space #5. There was no way to lock the first aid kit. When brought to your attention you moved the items to your office where they can be locked. I also observed disinfectant wipes not kept in locked storage in spaces #1, #2, and #5. These items are used for cleaning and all cleaning products must be locked when not in use. I recommend that each space use the area they have for locking items to store these items. SAFETY & HEALTH I observed three (3) uncovered outlets on a power strip on the counter in space #1. When the teacher was informed, she collected three outlet covers and placed them in the power strip. There was also an uncovered outlet by the sink in the girl’s bathroom in space #5. When notified this teacher also covered the affected outlet. Therefore, this violation was corrected during the visit. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Technical assistance discussed related to monitoring all metal playground equipment for peeling paint. If you notice signs that the paint is beginning to peel it must either be re-painted or removed from the area to ensure children don’t have access to any paint pieces. Also, ensure that you continue to log into the Risk Management Portal at https://rmp.nc.gov/portal/portal.aspx# to review the center’s EPR plan annually. Even if no changes are needed you should print the cover page or page 28 to document the date of review and place it with the EPR plan. Continue to ensure that parents document the time they drop off and pick up their children at the time it occurs. If parents do not do so then the you or the teachers must document arrival and departure times. There should be either a parent or staff signature/initials noted on the sheet as well. Please remember that these items could warrant violations during monitoring visits if not kept in compliance. 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.

If parents do not do so then the you or the teachers must document arrival and departure times. There should be either a parent or staff signature/initials noted on the sheet as well.

The last sanitation inspection was completed April 25, 2024 earning a superior rating. The last fire inspection was completed March 28, 2024 and the facility was approved for care daytime care only. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on August 2, 2023. Children were observed engaging in activity center play, group time reviewing numbers and reading book as well as outdoor play.

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 95% over an eighteen (18) month period. FACILITY PROFILE This facility is owned by Kidz World Child Care and Learning Center, 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 including Suspension or Revocation of the facility’s child care license. I reviewed the facility contact and owner information with you, S. Boone. You confirmed the information currently listed in the system remains correct. CHILDRENS RECORDS During a review of ten (10) percent of children’s records and they were in compliance with Child Care Requirements. STAFF RECORDS I reviewed all new staff and ten (10) percent of remaining staff records, and three (3) violations were documented. Staff hired 2/26/24 and 7/3/24 did not have documentation that they reviewed the center’s EPR plan on-site. Staff is required to review and document review of the EPR plan upon hire and yearly thereafter. The staff person hired 2/26/24 did not have documentation they reviewed the shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma (SBS/AHT) policy prior to caring for children. This ensures they are aware of dangers and signs of SBS and AHT and the steps to report it or seek help. The staff person re-hired 7/24/23 has a TB screening/test on file that is dated 3/23/21. When staff are hired their TB screening/test can be no more than twelve (12) months old or they must be tested again prior to working. MEDICATION While monitoring medication requirements I observed that a child enrolled in space #2 had a medication administration form that expired in June of this year for Aquaphor. Also, there was a container of Desitin stored with no medication administration form the child it belonged to. You removed these items from the space so parents could complete the required forms when they arrived to pick up. STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS There were several medications such as acetaminophen, aspirin, antihistamine medicine, ointments, etc. in a first aid kit mounted to the wall in space #5. There was no way to lock the first aid kit. When brought to your attention you moved the items to your office where they can be locked. I also observed disinfectant wipes not kept in locked storage in spaces #1, #2, and #5. These items are used for cleaning and all cleaning products must be locked when not in use. I recommend that each space use the area they have for locking items to store these items. SAFETY & HEALTH I observed three (3) uncovered outlets on a power strip on the counter in space #1. When the teacher was informed, she collected three outlet covers and placed them in the power strip. There was also an uncovered outlet by the sink in the girl’s bathroom in space #5. When notified this teacher also covered the affected outlet. Therefore, this violation was corrected during the visit. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Technical assistance discussed related to monitoring all metal playground equipment for peeling paint. If you notice signs that the paint is beginning to peel it must either be re-painted or removed from the area to ensure children don’t have access to any paint pieces. Also, ensure that you continue to log into the Risk Management Portal at https://rmp.nc.gov/portal/portal.aspx# to review the center’s EPR plan annually. Even if no changes are needed you should print the cover page or page 28 to document the date of review and place it with the EPR plan. Continue to ensure that parents document the time they drop off and pick up their children at the time it occurs. If parents do not do so then the you or the teachers must document arrival and departure times. There should be either a parent or staff signature/initials noted on the sheet as well.
