Denine Revels, Administrator, assisted me with the visit. Your facility currently operates with a four-star license, issued August 12, 2019, earning 5 points in the education component, two points in the program standards component (meeting enhanced space) and one quality point for using an age-appropriate curriculum. The program’s compliance history was ninety-three percent as of May 30, 2025. A walk-through of the facility was completed today; all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in both the indoor and outdoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children were observed during teacher lead activities, free play activities, lunch, and personal care routines. Teachers were interacting and met the needs of each of the children. Children were adequately supervised. No staff files were reviewed due to there being no new employees. Lunch consisted of beef tacos, corn, pineapples, and milk. Violation Number Comment Rule 104 Center has not passed required sanitation inspection and received an approved or superior rating. The sanitation inspection on file is dated June 4, 2024. The Administrator has requested an inspection from the Robeson County Environmental Health Department. 10A NCAC 09 .0304(b) 1805 A child care operator did not notify the Division of any new child care providers, as defined in G.S. 110-90.2(a)(2), who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The facility does not have a completed roster in the ABCMS system. G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) Child care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. On or before June 19, 2025, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail how and when the violations were corrected.

The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was 92% as of today. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on today SANDY PLAINS UNITED METHODIST CHURCH was listed as current- active. The license was posted, and the restrictions were in compliance. A walk-through of the facility was completed today, all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in both the indoor and outdoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were resting. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. The infant’s needs were tended to in a nurturing and caring manner. Safe sleep checks were monitored. Teachers interacted with the children on their level. One new staff file was monitored for compliance. Rated license requirements were reviewed to ensure compliance was maintained with current program and education components as well as the quality point. Lunch consisted of lasagna, peaches, corn, and milk. One new staff member’s file was monitored and found in compliance during today’s visit.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Observation: Today I observed children resting on cots and cribs throughout the center. Several cots were placed less than 18 inches apart. Technical Assistance Naptime can be very difficult. Children can become cranky when tired or anxious about sleeping. To save time your teachers may want to place tape on the floor to mark cot placements. Marking the floor in advance encourages consistency. Consistency fosters less anxiety. A child will know where their cot will go daily. Marking the floor can relieve stress on the teachers as well. More focus can go towards helping children through a big transition and less time organizing the room.

Denine Revels, director assisted me with today’s visit. Your facility currently operates with a four-star license, issued August 12, 2019, earning 5 points in the education component, 2 points in the program standards component (meeting enhanced space) and 1 quality point for using an age-appropriate curriculum. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was 92% as of today. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on today SANDY PLAINS UNITED METHODIST CHURCH was listed as current- active. The license was posted, and the restrictions were in compliance. A walk-through of the facility was completed today, all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in both the indoor and outdoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were resting. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. The infant’s needs were tended to in a nurturing and caring manner. Safe sleep checks were monitored. Teachers interacted with the children on their level. One new staff file was monitored for compliance. Rated license requirements were reviewed to ensure compliance was maintained with current program and education components as well as the quality point. Lunch consisted of lasagna, peaches, corn, and milk. One new staff member’s file was monitored and found in compliance during today’s visit. The following violations were documented: Violation Number Comment Rule 104 Center has not passed required sanitation inspection and received an approved or superior rating. The last sanitation inspection is dated 3/20/23. 10A NCAC 09 .0304(b) 614 Bed, cribs, playpens, cots or mats were not placed at least 18" apart or separated by partitions when in use. In spaces 1,2,6,7, and 9, the children rested on cots that were placed less than 18" apart. The cots were moved during the visit to allow at least 18" between each resting child. 15A NCAC 18A .2821(e) Child Care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violations documented may impact the compliance history score. The violations documented must be corrected immediately. On or before May 29, 2024, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit will be conducted. Email or mail the information to: deanna.abraham@dhhs.nc.gov or Deanna Abraham/ Child Care Consultant PO Box 265 Raeford, NC 28376 If you email the compliance letter, it must be sent from the email address registered with the DCDEE (this serves as your signature) and the following information must be included: name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Observation: Today I observed children resting on cots and cribs throughout the center. Several cots were placed less than 18 inches apart. Technical Assistance Naptime can be very difficult. Children can become cranky when tired or anxious about sleeping. To save time your teachers may want to place tape on the floor to mark cot placements. Marking the floor in advance encourages consistency. Consistency fosters less anxiety. A child will know where their cot will go daily. Marking the floor can relieve stress on the teachers as well. More focus can go towards helping children through a big transition and less time organizing the room.
