Developmentally age-appropriate materials were used. Positive and nurturing communication occurred as teachers interacted with children. Today's lunch consisted of Bologna and cheese on wheat bread, sweet peas, tropical fruit and milk. A sanitation inspection was completed on July 26, 2024 with 9 demerits and a Superior rating. A fire inspection was completed on July 24, 2024. The program is approved for daytime care only. The Emergency Drill log was reviewed during today’s visit.

NC GS 110- 90(4)(d) requires all child care facilities to maintain a compliance history score of at least 75% for the past 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. Your compliance history score prior to today's visit is 98%. Child care licensing requirements were established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your type of program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all the applicable laws and rules at all times. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules. I explained that you have access to the on-line version of the Child Care Rule Book, as well as a hard copy of the rules. I recommend that you visit the Division of Child Development's website (www.ncchildcare.nc.gov) on a regular basis to find out what's new in childcare. You could also find any needed Child Care forms by going on the web site and clicking on the "Provider" tab and then clicking on the "Provider Documents" tab. Health and Safety training requirements were monitored. Reminders/Technical Assistance: 1. To avoid a violation with current Activity Plans, make sure teaching staff are posting the Activity plan at the end of the week or month so that it is current for the approaching week/month. 2. I left a copy of the approved CPR/First Aid training organizations. Make sure staff are informed of the approved agencies before completing the certification. 3. M. Cantor's Criminal Background Qualification Letter will expire November 2024. Remind staff they can complete the renewal six months in advance. 4. In reviewing the children's records, make sure to update the Emergency Medical Care plan with current staff names. 5. A SAMPLE Center Staff Acknowledgement Form was left with you during today's visit. You can not use this to print but can use it as a guide when reviewing staff files. Rated License: The Governor signed Senate Bill 425 (now Session Law 2024-34), Health and Human Services Omnibus Bill, which includes the Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) Modifications recommended to the Legislature by the NC Child Care Commission to update QRIS and create additional pathways for licensed child care facilities to earn star rated licenses. The Child Care Commission is currently in the process of drafting proposed child care rule language to begin the rulemaking process for implementing the new requirements. The rulemaking process will include publishing of proposed revised rules as well as a public hearing and public comment period. Hold Harmless provisions have been extended and star rated license assessments for licensed child care providers will be conducted by provider request only, until the QRIS rulemaking process has been completed. Star rated license assessments are still required for new child care programs.

Failure to do so may result in the issuance of a provisional license or other administrative action. Your compliance history score prior to today's visit is 98%. Child care licensing requirements were established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your type of program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all the applicable laws and rules at all times. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules. I explained that you have access to the on-line version of the Child Care Rule Book, as well as a hard copy of the rules. I recommend that you visit the Division of Child Development's website (www.ncchildcare.nc.gov) on a regular basis to find out what's new in childcare. You could also find any needed Child Care forms by going on the web site and clicking on the "Provider" tab and then clicking on the "Provider Documents" tab. Health and Safety training requirements were monitored. Reminders/Technical Assistance: 1. To avoid a violation with current Activity Plans, make sure teaching staff are posting the Activity plan at the end of the week or month so that it is current for the approaching week/month. 2. I left a copy of the approved CPR/First Aid training organizations. Make sure staff are informed of the approved agencies before completing the certification. 3. M. Cantor's Criminal Background Qualification Letter will expire November 2024. Remind staff they can complete the renewal six months in advance. 4. In reviewing the children's records, make sure to update the Emergency Medical Care plan with current staff names. 5. A SAMPLE Center Staff Acknowledgement Form was left with you during today's visit. You can not use this to print but can use it as a guide when reviewing staff files. Rated License: The Governor signed Senate Bill 425 (now Session Law 2024-34), Health and Human Services Omnibus Bill, which includes the Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) Modifications recommended to the Legislature by the NC Child Care Commission to update QRIS and create additional pathways for licensed child care facilities to earn star rated licenses. The Child Care Commission is currently in the process of drafting proposed child care rule language to begin the rulemaking process for implementing the new requirements. The rulemaking process will include publishing of proposed revised rules as well as a public hearing and public comment period. Hold Harmless provisions have been extended and star rated license assessments for licensed child care providers will be conducted by provider request only, until the QRIS rulemaking process has been completed. Star rated license assessments are still required for new child care programs. Starting on February 1, 2025, the ECERS-3, ITERS-3, and FCCERS-3—also known as the "3s"—will be used for DCDEE environment rating scale assessments.

The allegation summary included: There is a concern that staff transported a child from elementary school to the center that was not enrolled at the center. The child got in the vehicle by mistake. There is concern that procedures to account for each child were not followed or were inadequate. I reviewed the allegation summary with the director/owner, Angelia McGeachy and one staff. Both were given an opportunity to respond to the concerns. A walk-through of the facility was conducted, as well as the vehicle used for transporting was monitored. Limited monitoring of child care requirements occurred during today’s visit. Findings to the allegation: The van driver stated that on March 20, 2024, a child, who was no longer enrolled at the center, got on the van. She stated that the school released the child with her group of children and that she told the child "you are not supposed to be on this van". She stated the child kept saying "mom has not made the switch". The van driver stated she did not know what he was talking about and that she went back and forth with the child regarding not being on her van roster. She stated a school employee was located outside the van on the sidewalk and could hear her going back and forth with the child. She stated the child was getting upset, so she told the child they would get it straightened out when they got to the center. The van driver stated as soon as she got to the center she informed Ms. McGeachy. Ms. McGeachy stated the van arrived at the facility around 3:30 pm and she was immediately notified by the van driver about the child. She sated the child kept saying "mom did not make the switch", and they did not know what he was talking about. Ms. McGeachy stated the child was previously enrolled at her center but she withdrew care on February 22, 2024. She stated she tried to contact the mother (using the previous application) and could not reach anyone. She stated that as she was about to try the next person on the list, a director of another program called asking if she had the child. She stated she told that director that the child was at the center. Ms. McGeachy stated the child was picked up by the other director around 3:33 pm. The program has transportation procedures in place. Both Ms. McGeachy and the van driver stated a roster is used that shows when children get on and off the van; such as on the van at the center, off the van at school, on the van from school, off the van at the center. I verified the sign in log during today's visit as well as observed van drivers documenting that each child on the roster was signed in at the center. The program has safe arrival and departure procedures in place that are posted in the center. Upon the van arriving back at the center with the school-age children, the driver informed me that the school still has the child listed on Angel's Childcare & Learning Center, LLC pick up list. Ms. McGeachy tried to contact the mother letting her know she needed to inform the school of the change. Ms. McGeachy stated she has told the parent since his withdrawal that she needed to let the school know of which van he was to be released to. During today's visit, the child's mother informed Ms. McGeachy that she has completed the required paperwork at the school showing where the child is to be transported and that she has informed the child's teacher, as well. Ms. McGeachy stated she conducted a mandatory staff meeting that was held on March 23, 2024. She stated the following was covered during the meeting: General child care requirements, sanitation requirements and transportation procedures. Since the child was put on the van and brought to the center and the child was not on the roster to be transported, the complaint allegation is substantiated. Three violations of child care requirements were observed and documented. Computer-generated report was printed at the conclusion of today's visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 104 Center has not passed required sanitation inspection and received an approved or superior rating. The last sanitation inspection was completed on October 21, 2022. 10A NCAC 09 .0304(b) 1124 Emergency and identifying information, including the child's name, photograph, emergency contact information and/or a copy of the emergency medical care information form was not in the vehicle for each child being transported. Although the child was not enrolled in the center, the child was transported to the center and the emergency and identifying information was not in the vehicle. 10A NCAC 09 .1003(d) 1128 For routine transport of children to and from the center, staff did not use the list to document attendance as children boarded and departed the vehicle. Although the child was not currently enrolled at the center, the child was transported from school to the center and the child was not added to the attendance roster as he boarded and departed the vehicle. 10A NCAC 09 .1003(l) The above violations must be corrected immediately. In your response to the violations, you must submit a signed and dated compliance letter that explains how the violations were corrected. The compliance letter must be received on or before April 10, 2024.

Failure to do so may result in the issuance of a provisional license or other administrative action. Technical assistance with transportation was provided during today's visit: Transporting children in child care is a high-risk activity. Child care operators, staff and parents need to be aware that transporting children requires careful planning and being proactive. Protective measures ensure the safety of children and staff. Careful planning reduces the risk of harm or injury to children and reduces liability for child care operators and their programs. Transportation services include transportation to and from the center, to and/or from a public/private school program, to and/or from the child's home, and to and/from off premise activities such as field trips and educational outings. Although the program has a van transportation roster, I left a copy of the Daily Transportation Roster (DCD A/N Form 8A) with Ms. McGeachy.
