10A NCAC 09 .0713 · Violation

Name of Operation: CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER Facility ID: 47000035 Consultant: ALECIA PASCHAL Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0725-244L Visit Date: 7/21/2025 Number Present: 14 Completed Date: 7/21/2025 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 270 Time In: 08:30 AM Time Out: 01:00 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to obtain information regarding alleged violations of child care requirements. Rosa Chavis, director, assisted me with today’s visit. The allegation is: 1.There is a concern that the posted staff/child ratios are not being followed in the early morning and late afternoon hours. Staff/child ratio, group size, supervision, use of licensed space, space capacity, and license restrictions were monitored. The license and emergency care plan were posted. Fire drills, medication administration, and storage of hazardous products were also monitored. This program currently operates with a Special Provisional license, issued May 1, 2025. License restrictions include first shift, meets enhanced ratios, enhanced space, and meets enhance ratios minus one and Certified Developmental Day. Additionally, I observed the indoor and outdoor spaces used by the children. I arrived at 8:30 am and entered space number five (5). Ms. Chavis, the administrator, was in the classroom with the teacher and six (6) children ranging in age from one (1) year of age to five (5) years of age. She stated that she was going to move the one (1) year old to space number three (3). There was one (1) teacher present with four (4) children ranging in age from two (2) years old to three (3) years old. We reviewed the ages of each child enrolled in the center. The posted staff/child ratio and group size were not being met. The violations around staff/child ratios and group size were corrected by moving the one (1) year old child to space number one and adding an administrative staff. Based on the interviews and observations the allegation that the posted staff/child ratios are not being followed was substantiated. During the interview, you stated that the one-year-old child has been biting and scratching the infants and that is why he was placed in an older age group. You stated that you will come up with a plan that will stay in compliance with child care rules and high quality care recommendations. The following violation was documented: Violation Number Comment Rule 318 Children between 12 and 24 months of age were grouped with children 3 years of age or older. A child aged one (1) was grouped in a classroom of children aged three (3) to five (5) years old. 10A NCAC 09 .0713(a)(6) 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. A follow-up visit will be made due to the nature of this violation. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before August 4, 2025, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail how and when the violations will remain 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. A follow-up visit will be made due to the type of violation. Technical Assistance: Below is a practical, regulation-aligned game plan to (1) stay in ratio across the day, given your enrollment mix and current staffing start times, and (2) address recurrent biting from your 1-year-8-month-old child. I’ll start by clarifying the North Carolina Developmental Day (DD) licensing ratio/mixing rules that matter for your situation, then apply them to your enrollment counts and daily flow, and finally give you a step-by-step biting response & prevention plan. 1. Key North Carolina Rules That Apply to Your Scenario (Developmental Day License) Required staff-to-child ratios & max group sizes (Developmental Day): •0–12 months: 1:4 (max group 8). •1–2 years: 1:5 (max group 10). •2 years & older: 1:6 (max group 18). •Minimum of two staff on site whenever children are present. Combining age groups (general NC center rule—still good guidance for DD programs): •During the first and last operating hour, children of all ages may be grouped together if you maintain the ratio for the youngest child present. •At other times, when combining age groups, you must maintain the ratio dictated by the youngest child in that combined group. •Infants (<12 mo) must generally be kept separate from children 2+ except when the entire mixed group is under age 3 (so infants + 1s + 2s together is permitted if ratios are met). •Children 12–24 months should not be grouped with older children unless all are under 3 (again, allowing your infant/1s/2s combined group, but not with 3s+). Posting & compliance: The required ratio that applies to a classroom must be posted and maintained at all times; lower (better) ratios are always allowed. ncchildcare.ncdhhs.govncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov 2. Your Enrollment Snapshot & Minimum Staffing Enrollment you reported (total = 19): •3 infants (<1) •2 one-year-olds •3 two-year-olds •Remaining 11 are 3s, 4s, 5s (preschool cluster) 3. You described: •Center opens 7:00 a.m. •All children combined 7:00–8:00 a.m. (permitted if 1st hour & ratio of youngest met). •From 8:00–9:00 a.m. nursery + toddler rooms combined (infants + 1s + 2s) — allowed if all <3 and 1:4 ratio maintained; must not exceed group size 8; you currently have 8 exactly, so you need 2 staff physically present & engaged. •3s/4s/5s move to preschool room at 8:00 a.m. staffed by only one preschool teacher until 9:00 a.m. Problem: you can legally have only up to 6 preschoolers alone with that 1 teacher (ratio 1:6). If the 7th preschooler arrives before 9:00 a.m., you are out of ratio immediately. 4. Scheduling Strategies to Protect Ratios (Opening Through 9:00 a.m.) Below are layered options; you can mix & match based on staffing realities. 4.1 Absolute Baseline Safeguard Have a 2nd qualified staff member assigned “on call” to the preschool room beginning at 7:45 a.m. (earlier if family arrivals trend earlier). The staffer can be a floater, admin, or a part-time opener whose only job is to step in as soon as child count >6 in preschool. Post a visible “ratio trigger chart” (below). 4.2 Ratio Trigger Chart (Post Near Sign-In & In Preschool Room) •0–6 preschoolers present: 1 teacher OK. •7–12 preschoolers present: 2 staff required immediately (DD 1:6). •13–18 preschoolers present: 3 staff (because 13 ÷ 6 = 2.17 → 3). Make laminated quick-count cards or dry-erase tally next to the door. (Lower ratios always fine.) 4.3 Staggered Shift Adjustments Move the 2nd preschool teacher’s start time earlier—to 8:00 a.m. or family-arrival median minus 10 minutes—and shift that teacher’s off time later in the day (e.g., 8:00–4:30 instead of 9:00–5:30). Even a 30-minute earlier start (8:30) reduces risk substantially if arrivals cluster after 8:30; confirm with actual arrival data. 4.4 Use an Admin/Floater “Opening Sweep” Designate director, assistant director, or curriculum coordinator as floating ratio support 7:00–9:00 a.m. They circulate with a headcount clipboard and drop into whichever room first hits a ratio breakpoint. This is a common compliance strategy in high-variance morning arrivals. 4.5 Parent Early-Arrival Sign-Up Ask families to indicate (weekly or standing) arrival windows (before 8 / 8–8:30 / after 8:30). Use that data to staff to the pattern; also cap “before 8:30” enrollment if you cannot staff it. Programs may adopt policies that exceed minimum standards to stay compliant (NC allows you to meet lower ratios than required—never higher). 4.6 Quick Count Transition Procedure at 8:00 At 7:55 one opener takes a headcount & age breakdown. If >6 preschoolers are already present or expected by 8:00, call/text your floater to report immediately to the preschool room so the 3s+ can move without delay and without going out of ratio. 6. Midday & Closing Considerations •Naps, breaks, lunches: Plan relief coverage so ratios never dip when staff rotate off the floor; the minimum of two staff onsite rule continues to apply. •Last operating hour: You may recombine all ages if you maintain ratio for youngest in group; still must stay within group size for that youngest age (practically: if more than 8 total children remain and at least one infant is present, you must add extra staff beyond 2). 7. Quick Compliance Checklist to Use Each Day Post this by the sign-in tablet: Opening (7:00–8:00): Are 2 staff on site? Count children; if >4 & an infant is present, you still need 2; if >8 you need 3 (because 9÷4=3). 8:00 Split: Move 3s+ out; confirm two staff covering infant/1/2 group of 8; confirm preschool count ≤6 if only one teacher present. Call backup if 7th arrives. Document times. During Day: Stay below 8 in infant/1/2 room; if a 9th younger child enrolls or attends that day, you must open a 2nd group. Closing Hour: All ages may combine; maintain youngest ratio. 8. Addressing the 1-Year-8-Month-Old Who Bites (Targeted Plan) Biting at ~20 months is common and often communication, sensory, or frustration driven; with consistent, calm, preventive strategies, most children move through the phase. Evidence-informed practices from Zero to Three, NAEYC, Penn State Better Kid Care, and NCPMI are summarized below. 8.1 Observe & Track Antecedents For 5–10 days, log every incident: time, location, activity, who was near, what happened just before, and the adult response. Patterns (crowded centers, transition waits, teething days, fatigue) often jump out and guide prevention. 8.2 Shadowing / Increased Proximity Assign a teacher or floater to stay within arm’s reach during high-risk times (e.g., free play before snack, transition to outdoors). Quick physical interception is the single most effective way to prevent repeats. 8.3 In-the-Moment Response Script 1.Ensure safety / gently separate. 2.Attend to the child who was bitten first (comfort, clean, document). 3.Turn to biter: calm, firm, short: “No biting. Biting hurts.” 4.Label feeling / need: “You wanted the truck,” or “You were mad.” 5.Model alternative: “Say ‘My turn’” or offer a trade. Consistency and brevity matter; avoid big emotional reactions that can reinforce the behavior. 8.4 Teach Communication Alternatives Toddlers bite when they lack words or gestures. Proactively teach & practice: “Stop,” “My turn,” “Help,” simple signs, picture cards. Reinforce every successful attempt (“You said ‘help’ and Ms. Kim helped you—great job not biting!”). 8.5 Support Sensory & Teething Needs Provide acceptable things to bite/chew: chilled teethers, chewable sensory items, crunchy snacks at approved times. Rotate items; keep sanitized backups. See: https://www.nwckidsimpact.org/blog/biting-in-the-classroom 8.6 Reduce Crowding & Wait Times Rearrange centers to reduce shoulder-to-shoulder clustering; add duplicates of high-demand toys; shorten transition waits where children hover close to each other (common bite trigger). Predictable routines decrease biting frequency. 8.7 Social-Emotional Coaching Name feelings (“You look mad”), offer choices, practice gentle touches, read books about biting (“Teeth Are Not for Biting”), and use puppet play to rehearse safer problem-solving. 8.8 Family Partnership Plan Share the data log (no names of other children; protect confidentiality), agree on common language (“No biting. Biting hurts.”), align home strategies (teethers, extra sleep, low sensory overload days), and set brief weekly check-ins until incidents decrease. 8.9 When to Escalate If bites break skin repeatedly, cluster in intense bursts, or escalate despite 2–3 weeks of consistent prevention, consider consultation: pediatrician (rule out medical discomfort), early intervention specialist, or behavior consultant. Early outside support is encouraged in high-quality programs. See: https://www.naeyc.org/our-work/families/understanding-and-responding-children-who-bite 9. Use a Biting Incident Log to include: There are many behavior logs to explore hear: https://challengingbehavior.org/resources/. Today I provided a sample data log to track the biting behavior. 10. Putting It All Together: Morning Flow + Biting Prevention 7:00–8:00 Combined: Staff scan for biter; provide chew toy basket at sign-in; shadow during crowding. Maintain 1:4 ratio at all times. see: https://www.zerotothree.org/resource/toddler-biting-finding-the-right-response/ 8:00 Split: Move biter into infant/toddler cluster where 2 staff present and space is arranged with clear floor zones; duplicate toys to cut conflicts. See: https://extension.psu.edu/programs/betterkidcare/news/positive-guidance-a-pathway-to-reduce-biting-behavior Transitions: Use visual cue cards (“My turn,” “Stop”) at activity shelves; practice during calm times, not just after bites. Quick Recap: •You need 2 staff with the 8 under-3s; 2 staff once >6 preschoolers present. •Use ratio trigger chart + floater coverage 7–9 to prevent out-of-ratio. •Biting plan = observe triggers, shadow, offer safe chew, teach communication, respond calmly & consistently, partner with families.

Even a 30-minute earlier start (8:30) reduces risk substantially if arrivals cluster after 8:30; confirm with actual arrival data. 4.4 Use an Admin/Floater “Opening Sweep” Designate director, assistant director, or curriculum coordinator as floating ratio support 7:00–9:00 a.m. They circulate with a headcount clipboard and drop into whichever room first hits a ratio breakpoint. This is a common compliance strategy in high-variance morning arrivals. 4.5 Parent Early-Arrival Sign-Up Ask families to indicate (weekly or standing) arrival windows (before 8 / 8–8:30 / after 8:30). Use that data to staff to the pattern; also cap “before 8:30” enrollment if you cannot staff it. Programs may adopt policies that exceed minimum standards to stay compliant (NC allows you to meet lower ratios than required—never higher). 4.6 Quick Count Transition Procedure at 8:00 At 7:55 one opener takes a headcount & age breakdown. If >6 preschoolers are already present or expected by 8:00, call/text your floater to report immediately to the preschool room so the 3s+ can move without delay and without going out of ratio. 6. Midday & Closing Considerations •Naps, breaks, lunches: Plan relief coverage so ratios never dip when staff rotate off the floor; the minimum of two staff onsite rule continues to apply. •Last operating hour: You may recombine all ages if you maintain ratio for youngest in group; still must stay within group size for that youngest age (practically: if more than 8 total children remain and at least one infant is present, you must add extra staff beyond 2). 7. Quick Compliance Checklist to Use Each Day Post this by the sign-in tablet: Opening (7:00–8:00): Are 2 staff on site? Count children; if >4 & an infant is present, you still need 2; if >8 you need 3 (because 9÷4=3). 8:00 Split: Move 3s+ out; confirm two staff covering infant/1/2 group of 8; confirm preschool count ≤6 if only one teacher present. Call backup if 7th arrives. Document times. During Day: Stay below 8 in infant/1/2 room; if a 9th younger child enrolls or attends that day, you must open a 2nd group. Closing Hour: All ages may combine; maintain youngest ratio. 8. Addressing the 1-Year-8-Month-Old Who Bites (Targeted Plan) Biting at ~20 months is common and often communication, sensory, or frustration driven; with consistent, calm, preventive strategies, most children move through the phase. Evidence-informed practices from Zero to Three, NAEYC, Penn State Better Kid Care, and NCPMI are summarized below. 8.1 Observe & Track Antecedents For 5–10 days, log every incident: time, location, activity, who was near, what happened just before, and the adult response. Patterns (crowded centers, transition waits, teething days, fatigue) often jump out and guide prevention. 8.2 Shadowing / Increased Proximity Assign a teacher or floater to stay within arm’s reach during high-risk times (e.g., free play before snack, transition to outdoors). Quick physical interception is the single most effective way to prevent repeats. 8.3 In-the-Moment Response Script 1.Ensure safety / gently separate. 2.Attend to the child who was bitten first (comfort, clean, document). 3.Turn to biter: calm, firm, short: “No biting. Biting hurts.” 4.Label feeling / need: “You wanted the truck,” or “You were mad.” 5.Model alternative: “Say ‘My turn’” or offer a trade. Consistency and brevity matter; avoid big emotional reactions that can reinforce the behavior. 8.4 Teach Communication Alternatives Toddlers bite when they lack words or gestures. Proactively teach & practice: “Stop,” “My turn,” “Help,” simple signs, picture cards. Reinforce every successful attempt (“You said ‘help’ and Ms. Kim helped you—great job not biting!”). 8.5 Support Sensory & Teething Needs Provide acceptable things to bite/chew: chilled teethers, chewable sensory items, crunchy snacks at approved times. Rotate items; keep sanitized backups. See: https://www.nwckidsimpact.org/blog/biting-in-the-classroom 8.6 Reduce Crowding & Wait Times Rearrange centers to reduce shoulder-to-shoulder clustering; add duplicates of high-demand toys; shorten transition waits where children hover close to each other (common bite trigger). Predictable routines decrease biting frequency. 8.7 Social-Emotional Coaching Name feelings (“You look mad”), offer choices, practice gentle touches, read books about biting (“Teeth Are Not for Biting”), and use puppet play to rehearse safer problem-solving. 8.8 Family Partnership Plan Share the data log (no names of other children; protect confidentiality), agree on common language (“No biting. Biting hurts.”), align home strategies (teethers, extra sleep, low sensory overload days), and set brief weekly check-ins until incidents decrease. 8.9 When to Escalate If bites break skin repeatedly, cluster in intense bursts, or escalate despite 2–3 weeks of consistent prevention, consider consultation: pediatrician (rule out medical discomfort), early intervention specialist, or behavior consultant. Early outside support is encouraged in high-quality programs. See: https://www.naeyc.org/our-work/families/understanding-and-responding-children-who-bite 9. Use a Biting Incident Log to include: There are many behavior logs to explore hear: https://challengingbehavior.org/resources/. Today I provided a sample data log to track the biting behavior. 10. Putting It All Together: Morning Flow + Biting Prevention 7:00–8:00 Combined: Staff scan for biter; provide chew toy basket at sign-in; shadow during crowding. Maintain 1:4 ratio at all times. see: https://www.zerotothree.org/resource/toddler-biting-finding-the-right-response/ 8:00 Split: Move biter into infant/toddler cluster where 2 staff present and space is arranged with clear floor zones; duplicate toys to cut conflicts. See: https://extension.psu.edu/programs/betterkidcare/news/positive-guidance-a-pathway-to-reduce-biting-behavior Transitions: Use visual cue cards (“My turn,” “Stop”) at activity shelves; practice during calm times, not just after bites. Quick Recap: •You need 2 staff with the 8 under-3s; 2 staff once >6 preschoolers present. •Use ratio trigger chart + floater coverage 7–9 to prevent out-of-ratio. •Biting plan = observe triggers, shadow, offer safe chew, teach communication, respond calmly & consistently, partner with families.

Name of Operation: CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER Facility ID: 47000035 Consultant: ALECIA PASCHAL Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0325-164L Visit Date: 3/20/2025 Number Present: 47 Completed Date: 3/20/2025 Age: From 0 To 4 Total Minutes: 480 Time In: 08:20 AM Time Out: 04:20 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to obtain information regarding alleged violations of child care requirements. Rosa Chavis, director, assisted me with today’s visit. The allegations are: 1.There is a concern that the posted staff/child ratios are not being followed in the early morning and late afternoon hours. 2.There is a concern that children were not attended to in a nurturing and appropriate manner or keeping with the child’s developmental needs. Staff/child ratio, group size, supervision, use of licensed space, space capacity, and license restrictions were monitored. The license and emergency care plan were posted. Fire drills, medication administration, and storage of hazardous products were also monitored. This program currently operates with a five-star license, issued April 4, 2023. License restrictions include first shift, meets enhanced ratios, enhanced space, and meets enhance ratios minus one and Certified Developmental Day. Staff files for two new staff were reviewed and contained all the required information. Additionally, I observed the indoor and outdoor spaces used by the children. I arrived at 8:30 am while the children enrolled in space number two (2) and the children in space number (3) were combined in space number two (2). There were three staff present. There were seventeen (17) children present, and they ranged in age from one (1) year old to four (4) years old. The lead teacher of space number (3) stated that she was getting ready to take the children back to their assigned classroom We reviewed the posted staff/child ratio forms in the classrooms and the safe procedures for pick-up and delivery. The posted staff/child ratio and group size were not being met. The operating hours of the center are 7am-5:30 pm and two staff were present on space number two (2) until the third staff member arrived at 7:30am. The fourth staff member was not scheduled to arrive until 9:30am. Today, the assistant director worked with the teacher in space three. The violations around staff/child ratios and group size were corrected by separating the two groups of children into their assigned classrooms and bringing in a substitute to work in space number three (3). Based on the interviews and observations the allegation that the posted staff/child ratios are not being followed was substantiated. I interviewed the director, assistant director and the teachers about providing a safe and nurturing environment for the children enrolled in this program. I observed all of the classroom environments, and all of the children were attended to in safe and nurturing and appropriate manner and in keeping with their developmental needs. Based on interviews and observations, the allegation that children were not attended to in a nurturing and appropriate manner or keeping with the child’s developmental needs was not substantiated. The following violations were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 318 Children between 12 and 24 months of age were grouped with children 3 years of age or older. There was a group of children between 12 months and 4 years of age in space #2 for approximately 1 hour. 10A NCAC 09 .0713(a)(6) 1755 Certified developmental day center staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. There were 17 children ranging in age from one to four years old in space #2. .2902 (f) 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. A follow-up visit will be made due to the nature of this violation. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before April 3, 2025, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail how and when the violations will remain 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. Technical Assistance: Today we discussed how to combine children and remain in staff/child ratio and group size to accommodate the staff schedules.

Rosa Chavis, director, assisted me with today’s visit. The allegations are: 1.There is a concern that the posted staff/child ratios are not being followed in the early morning and late afternoon hours. 2.There is a concern that children were not attended to in a nurturing and appropriate manner or keeping with the child’s developmental needs. Staff/child ratio, group size, supervision, use of licensed space, space capacity, and license restrictions were monitored. The license and emergency care plan were posted. Fire drills, medication administration, and storage of hazardous products were also monitored. This program currently operates with a five-star license, issued April 4, 2023. License restrictions include first shift, meets enhanced ratios, enhanced space, and meets enhance ratios minus one and Certified Developmental Day. Staff files for two new staff were reviewed and contained all the required information. Additionally, I observed the indoor and outdoor spaces used by the children. I arrived at 8:30 am while the children enrolled in space number two (2) and the children in space number (3) were combined in space number two (2). There were three staff present. There were seventeen (17) children present, and they ranged in age from one (1) year old to four (4) years old. The lead teacher of space number (3) stated that she was getting ready to take the children back to their assigned classroom We reviewed the posted staff/child ratio forms in the classrooms and the safe procedures for pick-up and delivery. The posted staff/child ratio and group size were not being met. The operating hours of the center are 7am-5:30 pm and two staff were present on space number two (2) until the third staff member arrived at 7:30am. The fourth staff member was not scheduled to arrive until 9:30am. Today, the assistant director worked with the teacher in space three. The violations around staff/child ratios and group size were corrected by separating the two groups of children into their assigned classrooms and bringing in a substitute to work in space number three (3). Based on the interviews and observations the allegation that the posted staff/child ratios are not being followed was substantiated. I interviewed the director, assistant director and the teachers about providing a safe and nurturing environment for the children enrolled in this program. I observed all of the classroom environments, and all of the children were attended to in safe and nurturing and appropriate manner and in keeping with their developmental needs. Based on interviews and observations, the allegation that children were not attended to in a nurturing and appropriate manner or keeping with the child’s developmental needs was not substantiated. The following violations were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 318 Children between 12 and 24 months of age were grouped with children 3 years of age or older. There was a group of children between 12 months and 4 years of age in space #2 for approximately 1 hour. 10A NCAC 09 .0713(a)(6) 1755 Certified developmental day center staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. There were 17 children ranging in age from one to four years old in space #2. .2902 (f) 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. A follow-up visit will be made due to the nature of this violation. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before April 3, 2025, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail how and when the violations will remain 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.
