This facility currently operates with a Four (4) Star License that was issued on 6-6-19. Today’s visit was conducted with you, Suprena Wells, owner/operator. Upon arrival to the residence, I was greeted by you. The children were observed outside in the backyard where they were running about, playing with leaves, swinging on the porch swing, playing with balls, and taking turns sliding on the slide. Once inside the children washed their hands and began playing with toys at the table. You were nurturing and communicative as you met the children’s needs. I monitored the room next to the kitchen that is used for child care. Compliance with capacity, supervision, discipline, attendance, program requirements, storage of hazardous substances, CPR & First Aid, permit restrictions, the required postings, and staff record documentation was monitored as a partial assessment of applicable child care requirements. You stated no medications are given at this time and no permission to administer medications was observed. A partial assessment of child care requirements was monitored. The following violation was cited during today’s visit and must be corrected immediately. Technical assistance on how to maintain compliance was offered. Violation Number Comment Rule 920 Records were not made available for review. A child that was a drop in for the day did not have an application, nor any other required paperwork on file. G.S. 110-91(9) The above violation must be corrected immediately and a corrective action letter must be sent to me no later than 12-2-25 stating how the violation was corrected and a plan to maintain compliance with the requirements. My mailing address is: 2201 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-2200 or a corrective action letter can be emailed to: bridggette.campbell@dhhs.nc.gov. The following were discussed with you during today’s visit: • 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. • Technical Assistance was provided with the following suggestions that may be beneficial: Child’s Application: Having a child's application on file is crucial for safety, compliance, and administrative purposes, providing essential information for emergency situations, meeting regulatory requirements, and enabling the facility to plan and operate effectively. The forms contain vital details like medical information, emergency contacts, authorization to seek medical care, and authorized pick-up persons, ensuring the child's well-being is the top priority in all situations. It was suggested to not allow any children (including drop-ins) to stay at the facility without the required paperwork, including the child’s application. • Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS), is North Carolina’s new star rating system for early childhood education facilities. QRIS is a systemic approach to assess, improve, and communicate the level of quality in child care. It encourages programs to engage in continuous quality improvement and families may use the star rating to make informed decisions when choosing a child care facility. Today it was explained that you can review the new QRIS requirements, which includes three pathways to choose for the rated license process. You stated today that you were interested in pathway two and is not interested in having the Family Child Care Environment Rating Scale completed. Please take time to review the QRIS process.
