Compliance with staff records was documented by you and a sampling of your staff records and children’s records were reviewed today. Information was documented on the staff and training worksheet and children records form. Violations regarding children and staff records were documented. A checklist was also used to monitor compliance today. The last annual compliance visit was conducted 9/20/23. The sanitation and fire inspections were current. NC PRE-K REQUIREMENTS: The site monitoring tool was observed. You use the Brigance screenings. The center uses the Teaching Strategies Gold instrument to document evidence of children's ongoing progress.

Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before 4/3/2024, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail how and when the violations were corrected.

This is important in case of an emergency and medical attention is required. The necessary attention can be administered when parents cannot be reached. Health and Safety Trainings - Complete training in 11 topic areas (not all may apply to your center). Document training on the Health & Safety Training Record (available on DCDEE website). This must be completed in the first year of employment and then at least every five years, except for CPR/First Aid (every 2 years). It is important to complete these within the required timeframe to ensure you are knowledgeable about issues that may affect the health and safety of children and yourself.

At least two staff have return letters they will need to review and respond to. Program – You have scheduled the ERS during this planning year. Once the assessment is completed, I will contact you to review the results. Remember results of 5.0 or higher will be used as part of the final assessment. Once all information is received and processed for the components, we will discuss if you would like to move forward with processing your rated license during this prep year. During my last visit, we reviewed resources available during this prep year. Feel free to contact me regarding the rated license process or if you need additional support. A copy of this visit summary was reviewed with and left with you today. You explained the facility will track out next week. Keep in mind the corrective action letter due date will be during the track out period. You may need to submit the letter before you leave for track out.
