The program’s compliance history was ninety six percent as of December 5, 2024. Children in Space 1 were participating in a planned holiday craft making large paper gingerbread people. Teachers were engaged and walking around the room. I found supervision, interactions and ratios to be in compliance. Children in Space 2 were participating in center activities. Activities included, science, library, blocks, music, crafts, etc. Teachers were walking throughout the room and meeting the needs of children. During today’s inspection I inspected the following: indoor learning environment, outdoor learning environment, supervision, ratios, interactions, children records, staff records, emergency drills, medication administration, and all child care requirements. Lunch consisted of cheeseburger, potato roasters, peach cup, and milk. The following was cited during today’s inspection.

Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before December 19, 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.

Mail or email the information to: Brandon Fry, Child Care Consultant, 80 Blake Blvd; PO Box 4441, Pinehurst, NC 28374, brandon.fry@dhhs.nc.gov 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: Lemondre` Watson, Administrator, Pittsboro Elementary School PreK, ID # 19000353 Technical Assistance: We discussed the importance of returning expired medication to parents and ensuring that all prescribed medication is in its original labeled box. We discussed returning the medication to the parents at pick up and not accepting the new medication until it has the original labeled box. As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. 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) 814-8601 and someone will assist you. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was printed, reviewed, and a copy was left with you. Contact me at brandon.fry@dhhs.nc.gov if you have questions. 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
