Prior to today’s visit, the compliance history score was 100%. Required postings were posted as required at the entrance to the facility. Your program currently operates with a four-star license, issued on April 25, 2018. The following restrictions are listed on the license: 1st shift/daytime care, school age only, meets enhanced space, age range extended to 14 yrs old, group size reduced by 1 and playground does not meet Child Care Safety Standards. Today I reviewed with you the facility information found in our system. You stated there have been no changes to your phone number, email address and mailing address. You stated that as of July 1, 2025, your Administrator is Erin Gates. The Operational Policies and Parent Handbook were given to me for review in August 2025. You stated that Staff Policies and Procedures had a section that was revised in July 2025 and reviewed with staff August 2025. You stated that neither has changed as of toady’s date. Emergency drills and fire drills were monitored and have been occurring as required. Each licensed indoor and outdoor space was monitored today. The children were observed participating in toileting routines, playing in activity areas, eating supper and participating in teacher directed activities. Teacher and children’s interactions were positive and nurturing. Supervision of children, staff-child ratios and group sizes, use of approved space, classroom capacities, and permit restrictions were monitored during today’s visit. Daily sign in/out sheets and attendance was current/accurate. A current menu was posted, documented appropriate nutritious snacks and meals, showed a variety of foods, and complied with Meal Patterns for Children in Child Care Programs. Hazardous product storage, general safety, and discipline practices were monitored. There were two (2) medications, two (2) medication permission to administer forms, and two (2) Medical Action Plans monitored during today’s visit. A portion of the children’s files and staff record files were monitored. The Staff and Training Worksheet was completed and sent to me for review on October 16, 2025. You stated that your program does not provide transportation but does provide screen time. The “Annual Compliance Monitoring Checklist for Child Care Centers” was completed during today’s visit. Health and safety requirements were monitored. The following violations were observed and cited during today's visit: 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. Today one (1) emergency medication (epinephrine injection, usp auto injector .15mg) has a discard after date of 10/8/2025. .0803(12) 862 The EMC plan was not reviewed with all staff annually and whenever the plan was revised. One (1) staff member with a hire date of 12/4/23, did not have documentation of completing the annual Emergency Medical Care (EMC) Plan during today’s visit. 10A NCAC 09 .0802(a) 1054 Documentation of staff's on-going training was not on file and/or was not current. One (1) staff member with a hire date of 12/4/23, did not have documentation of ongoing training available for review during today’s visit. 10A NCAC 09 .1106(a) 1825 All staff did not review the center's EPR Plan during orientation and/or on an annual basis with the trained staff. Documentation of the review was not maintained on file. One (1) staff member with a hire date of 12/4/23, did not have documentation for completing the annual review of the facilities Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR) plan during today’s visit. .0607(f) Technical Assistance: Child care programs are required to maintain compliance with all applicable child care rules and regulations at all times. North Carolina General Statute 110-90(4)(d) requires all child care facilities to maintain a compliance history of at least seventy-five percent (75%) for the past eighteen (18) months or during the length of time the facility has operated, whichever is less. Failure to do so may result in the issuance of a provisional license or other administrative action against the facility's license. Any violations cited during a visit may affect your score. • Today one (1) emergency medication (epinephrine injection, usp. auto injector .15mg) has a discard after date of 10/8/2025. As discussed, routine medication monitoring should be conducted to ensure that there are not any medications that have expired. I suggest scheduling routine medication monitoring dates on a visible calendar to prevent medications from expiring. Also, keep in mind that once the updated medication is brought into the facility the medication permission to administer form will also need to be updated. Please pay close attention to the medication expiration date as well as the medication discard after date. Whichever date that comes first is the date the medication needs to be returned to the child’s parent and a new medication brought into the facility. • One (1) staff member with a hire date of 12/4/23, did not have documentation of ongoing training available for review during today’s visit. As discussed, ongoing training hour requirements specified for each staff member should be completed annually prior to the previous years’ completion date. I suggest that staff files be reviewed quarterly to ensure that all staff members ongoing training requirements in compliance with child care rule at all times. • One (1) staff member with a hire date of 12/4/23, did not have documentation of completing the annual review of the facilities Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR) plan during today’s visit. As discussed, all staff are required to complete a review of the facility EPR plan. I suggest that all staff files be monitored quarterly to ensure that files for each staff member are in compliance with child care rule. • One (1) staff member with a hire date of 12/4/23, did not have documentation of completing the annual Emergency Medical Care (EMC) Plan during today’s visit. As discussed, all staff are required to complete a review of the facility EMC plan. I suggest that all staff files be monitored quarterly to ensure that files for each staff member are in compliance with child care rule. Consultation: • QRIS Information: During today’s visit, we discussed the three QRIS Pathways to the Stars effective July 1, 2025.

You, Carly Shoemaker, Program Coordinator, assisted me, Meria Wilder, Child Care Consultant, with today’s visit. Your program operates with a Four Star rated license that was issued on April 25, 2018, and earned 2 points in program standards, 7 points in staff education, and 1 quality point. Your program operates with the following restrictions: Daytime care, school age only, meets enhanced space, reduced group size by 1, playground does not meet child care safety standards, and age range extended to 14 years old. Prior to today’s visit your programs compliance history score was 90%. I observed the following required postings to be prominently posted: Four-Star rated license, NC Summary of Child Care Law, Emergency Information, safe arrival and departure procedures, tobacco free signage, Emergency Medical Care Plan, and Emergency Phone Numbers. Your incident report log, current menu, daily schedule, emergency drill log, and Emergency Preparedness and Response plan, were monitored. Your most recent sanitation inspection, fire inspection, and emergency drills were monitored. I observed sign in/out sheets and attendance to be current. You stated that you do not provide screen time. You stated that you do not provide transportation. During today’s visit I monitored your indoor and outdoor spaces for health and safety requirements. I did monitor your playground for general safety although your playground does not meet child care safety standards as indicated on your license. Materials and furnishing were of sufficient quality and in good repair. Children being cared for in a nurturing way. Adequate supervision, staff child ratios, appropriate group sizes, adequate/approved spaces and appropriate discipline was observed during today’s visit. I monitored 2 emergency medications and 1 over-the-counter medications for a total of 3 medications monitored. There were no new staff files to monitor, and I monitored 3 existing staff files for the following: criminal background qualification letters, First Aid Certification, CPR certification, BSAC, Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment. No children’s records were monitored today. The following violations were cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 1882 Medication authorization, giving the caregiver standing authorization did not meet the specifications in rule. There were 2 medication permission to administer forms that provide standing orders for up to six months did not have the effective to and from dates on the form. .0803(6)(a-i); .0803(7)(a-g); .0803(8)(a-d) Technical Assistance: • There were 2 medication permission to administer forms that provide standing orders for up to six months did not have the effective to and from dates on the form. As discussed, medication permission to administer forms that provide standing orders must include all of the required information or an item that does not apply should be marked as “N/A” or not applicable. I suggest that all forms and documents be monitored by staff when received and prior to storing with the medication to ensure that all forms and documents are completed entirely. This violation was corrected during today’s visit. Child care facilities must comply with all state laws, federal laws and local ordinances that pertain to child health, safety, and welfare of children (GS110-91 – Mandatory standards for a license). Failure to comply may lead to an administrative action (General statue 110-102-2- Administrative penalties). You must maintain at least 75% Compliance History for each 18-month period as required by GS110-90(4)(c). Repeated violations or violations left unresolved may lead to an administrative action. Also, please remember in order to maintain an enhanced rated license your compliance history must remain above 75% at all times. Consultation: • Your program is in Cohort 1 for the rated license reassessment. Your program’s planning year will be from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. Your program’s reassessment year will be 2024 to 2025 and the month of your reassessment will be the month that your current rated license expires. As you plan for the reassessment of the rated license, please be sure that all staff has their most recent education updated and verified in WORKS and that you are in touch with your local Partnership and Resource and Referral agencies to provide technical assistance and help you prepare for reassessment. • When reviewing staff files, you may utilize the schools Off Site Verification Forms which identifies information that is stored off site. The bulleted items identified on the form is not required to be maintained in the file of that staff member as long as that staff members name and date of employment is listed on the employee roster that should be attached to the form. The information that is stored “off-site” should be available upon the consultant’s request in the event that the consultant would need to verify that information. That Off Site Verification Form should be updated annually and/or as staff members are hired. • Fire inspection reports are required to be sent to the consultant within 7 business days of the inspection being completed. If an inspection has not been sent to me within 7 days of the inspection a violation will be cited at the next monitoring visit. • Stay updated with changes and new rule updates by visiting DCDEE new website at http://ncchildcare.nc.gov/general/home.asp. • Although not an issue today, there are 3 staff members have First Aid and CPR certifications that will expire on 8/16/2024. As discussed, be sure to take the required trainings to ensure that you can remain in compliance with child care rules. I recommend enrolling in the training courses soon to prevent the expiration of certification before completion of the course. Be reminded if the course isn’t offered in your county you may have to seek training opportunities in other surrounding counties. All violations cited during today’s visit must be corrected immediately. Due to all violations being cited during today’s visit being corrected during the visit there will be no compliance letter required. A copy of your visit summary was printed, reviewed, and there was a copy was left with you today.

You, Carly Shoemaker, Program Coordinator, assisted me, Meria Wilder, Child Care Consultant, with today’s visit. Your program operates with a Four Star rated license that was issued on April 25, 2018, and earned 2 points in program standards, 7 points in staff education, and 1 quality point. Your program operates with the following restrictions: Daytime care, school age only, meets enhanced space, reduced group size by 1, playground does not meet child care safety standards, and age range extended to 14 years old. Prior to today’s visit your programs compliance history score was 90%. I observed the following required postings to be prominently posted: Four-Star rated license, NC Summary of Child Care Law, Emergency Information, safe arrival and departure procedures, tobacco free signage, Emergency Medical Care Plan, and Emergency Phone Numbers. Your incident report log, current menu, daily schedule, emergency drill log, and Emergency Preparedness and Response plan, were monitored. Your most recent sanitation inspection, fire inspection, and emergency drills were monitored. I observed sign in/out sheets and attendance to be current. You stated that you do not provide screen time. You stated that you do not provide transportation. During today’s visit I monitored your indoor and outdoor spaces for health and safety requirements. I did monitor your playground for general safety although your playground does not meet child care safety standards as indicated on your license. Materials and furnishing were of sufficient quality and in good repair. Children being cared for in a nurturing way.

As discussed, medication permission to administer forms that provide standing orders must include all of the required information or an item that does not apply should be marked as “N/A” or not applicable. I suggest that all forms and documents be monitored by staff when received and prior to storing with the medication to ensure that all forms and documents are completed entirely. This violation was corrected during today’s visit. Child care facilities must comply with all state laws, federal laws and local ordinances that pertain to child health, safety, and welfare of children (GS110-91 – Mandatory standards for a license). Failure to comply may lead to an administrative action (General statue 110-102-2- Administrative penalties). You must maintain at least 75% Compliance History for each 18-month period as required by GS110-90(4)(c). Repeated violations or violations left unresolved may lead to an administrative action. Also, please remember in order to maintain an enhanced rated license your compliance history must remain above 75% at all times. Consultation: • Your program is in Cohort 1 for the rated license reassessment. Your program’s planning year will be from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. Your program’s reassessment year will be 2024 to 2025 and the month of your reassessment will be the month that your current rated license expires. As you plan for the reassessment of the rated license, please be sure that all staff has their most recent education updated and verified in WORKS and that you are in touch with your local Partnership and Resource and Referral agencies to provide technical assistance and help you prepare for reassessment. • When reviewing staff files, you may utilize the schools Off Site Verification Forms which identifies information that is stored off site. The bulleted items identified on the form is not required to be maintained in the file of that staff member as long as that staff members name and date of employment is listed on the employee roster that should be attached to the form. The information that is stored “off-site” should be available upon the consultant’s request in the event that the consultant would need to verify that information. That Off Site Verification Form should be updated annually and/or as staff members are hired. • Fire inspection reports are required to be sent to the consultant within 7 business days of the inspection being completed. If an inspection has not been sent to me within 7 days of the inspection a violation will be cited at the next monitoring visit. • Stay updated with changes and new rule updates by visiting DCDEE new website at http://ncchildcare.nc.gov/general/home.asp. • Although not an issue today, there are 3 staff members have First Aid and CPR certifications that will expire on 8/16/2024. As discussed, be sure to take the required trainings to ensure that you can remain in compliance with child care rules. I recommend enrolling in the training courses soon to prevent the expiration of certification before completion of the course.
