Applicable childcare requirements were discussed with you, Dana Bowen, Lead Teacher/Administrator. During this visit I monitored all spaces approved for child care. I also observed children actively engaging with their assigned teacher and participating in various free-choice centers, including fine motor activities, books, blocks, and dramatic play. Other routine activities such as eating lunch, playing outside, and handwashing were also monitored. Positive and developmentally appropriate interactions between staff and children, staff/child ratios, and supervision were monitored throughout the visit.

The enrollment date was not completed for two children enrolled. The enrollment date was added to the discipline statement for the two children during the visit; therefore, this was corrected during the visit. .1804(b) All violations should be corrected immediately. Three (3) out of the six (6) violations documented were corrected during this visit. A signed and dated letter of compliance must be submitted to me no later than June 2, 2026, for the violations that were not corrected during the visit. You may email your letter of compliance to me at leisa.benson@dhhs.nc.gov. Failure to submit your compliance letter by the stated deadline or failure to contact me regarding a revised timeline may result in a follow-up visit, and violations may be cited. If you are unable to meet the required deadline of June 2, 2026, you must contact me prior to that date with a proposed timeline for completing the required corrections. In some cases, this time frame may be extended. Important Notice: If your compliance letter states that corrections have been made and it is later determined they were not, this will be considered falsification of information, and an administrative action may be taken against your license. You are required to always maintain compliance with all applicable child care rules and regulations. NC GS 110-90(4)(d) requires all child care facilities to maintain a compliance history score of at least 75% for the past eighteen (18) months or during the length of time the facility has operated, whichever is less.

This was not cited as a violation because according to you the fire inspection had been submitted to your consultant. However, going forward the original approved fire inspection should be submitted to your assigned consultant within one (1) week of the inspection visit. Technical Assistance: CPR/FA certifications should remain current at all times. Keeping them up to date helps ensure staff are prepared to respond quickly and appropriately in case of an emergency. It is important to monitor expiration dates and schedule renewal training before certification expires to maintain compliance and support children’s health and safety.

The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-8401 and someone will assist you. Required In-service training hours for staff were discussed with you along with how to calculate in-service training hours. All in-service training hours should be logged on the On-Going Training Documentation Form.

NC GS 110-90 · Violation

Name of Operation: Pinehurst Elementary Finny's Minis Facility ID: 63000558 Consultant: LEISA A. BENSON Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 9/11/2024 Number Present: 14 Completed Date: 9/11/2024 Age: From 3 To 5 Total Minutes: 210 Time In: 09:00 AM Time Out: 12:30 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Temp Time Period Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s visit was to monitor compliance with applicable child care requirements pertinent to the first Temporary Time Period Visit. This program currently operates with a temporary license effective August 1, 2024, to February 1, 2025. Applicable childcare requirements were discussed with Dana Bowen, Administrator/Lead Teacher. This is a child care center located in a DPI. Two (2) classrooms were approved for child care. Currently they are only using one (1) classroom #129. I monitored the classroom and the playground. The children observed today, were interacting with assigned staff, playing in free choice areas such as fine motor materials, books, blocks, and dramatic play materials, eating morning snack, washing hands, and playing outside. Parents are responsible for providing all meals/snacks/beverages. All children had an Optout Form on file. During the visit three (3) staff files, including the administrator’s, and three (3) children’s files were reviewed. In addition, required center program records were also monitored. It is your responsibility to review all files to ensure they are complete and accurate. The following were also observed during today’s visit: staff/child ratios; CPR/FA; storage of hazardous products; adequate/approved space; posted license and permit restrictions. Overall attendance and enrollment were collected today. The attached space, capacity and enrollment worksheet reflects the enrollment and attendance information along with the staff that were present and caring for children today. At the completion of the visit, I reviewed the Visit Summary with Mrs. Bowen and a computerized copy was given to her. Violation Number Comment Rule 1314 Emergency information did not name childs health care professional. The child's health care professional was not on file for three children enrolled. .0802(c)(2) 1325 Parent’s statement includes the child’s name and date of enrollment and the date the parent signed the statement. The enrollment date was not included on the statement for three children enrolled. .1804(b) The violation/s documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance must be mailed to me by September 25, 2024, stating that all violations have been corrected. The letter can be emailed to me at leisa.benson@dhhs.nc.gov. If you state in the compliance letter that corrections have been made when they have not, this will be considered falsification of information. If you cannot meet the requirements by September 25, 2024, you must contact me immediately with a purposed timeline of the corrections. In some cases, this timeline may be extended. You are required to always maintain compliance with all applicable child care rules and regulations. NC GS 110-90(4)(d) requires all child care facilities to maintain a compliance history score of at least 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. Violations cited during today’s visit, may negatively affect your compliance score. As of today’s, visit your compliance history is 98%. Rated License Assessment: In order to maintain subsidy payments at the end of the temporary time period, the facility must transition to a three to five star rated license. Education Standards: The education of the Administrator, Lead Teachers, Teachers, and Group Leaders will be assessed for points for the star rated license. It is imperative to submit official transcripts directly to DCDEE and have employees submit all other information using “WORKS” (Workforce online reporting and knowledge system). All staff education should be current before the fifth month of the temporary time period as a rated license will need to be processed before the end date of the temporary license. During the visit I verified in WORKS that the three (3) staff listed on the Staff and Training Worksheet were in WORKS; however, their education information was not current. I discussed with you that all staff should submit their most current education information to WORKS to be updated. Program Standards: The center may receive 2 points in program standards by meeting enhanced staff child ratios or enhanced space and by providing the required activity centers and supplemental centers. To receive more than 2 points in program standards, the facility will need to have an Environment Rating Scale (ERS) assessment and score at least a 4.0 on each of the scales. Be sure to visit www.ncrlap.org to familiarize you and your staff with the different assessments. Also, if you meet the requirements for a 4-5 star rated license and plan to provide care to 4 year old’s you will be required to have a curriculum that has been approved by DCDEE. You can review the approved curriculum by visit: https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Read/nc-child-care-commission-approved-early-childhood-four-year-old-curricula-2018 Quality Bonus Point: While the facility may meet more than one possible quality point, the facility can only earn a maximum of one quality bonus point. Total points and Star Rated License Information: The total points received in both education and program standards and the quality bonus point will determine the star license issued to your center. To receive a three star license the facility must earn at least seven points. To receive a four star license the facility must earn at least ten points. To receive a five star license the facility must earn at least thirteen points. If you decide to apply for a star rated license you will need to complete the Initial Application for Assessment for a Two Through Five Star Rated License. If you decide to have the ERS assessment conducted, you will need to complete the Rated License Assessment Request Review. These forms were given to you during the visit. They should be completed and submitted to me by September 25, 2024. I also gave you a copy of the Quality Point Form for your review. Technical Assistance: You stated that you are in the process of hiring substitutes. You also stated that you would like to have volunteers. I reviewed the requirements for substitutes and volunteers. I also gave you a copy of the Volunteer File Checklist-Center and Substitute Staff File Checklist-Center to use as guides.
