Your program currently operates with a Notice of Compliance. Today’s visit was conducted with you, Luanna Moore, Center Administrator. Karen Lusuriello, Assistant Center Director, was also present. You accompanied me as we walked through the facility. We visited each indoor and outdoor space used by children. Staff/child ratios, supervision, capacity, group size, and staff interaction/discipline were in compliance. Several groups of children played on the outdoor play area. Children transitioned indoors. Other children played in activity areas. Staff assisted children by encouraging them to use the potty independently. They talked with children about helping each other complete a task. Staff also reminded children of classroom rules. In the rooms for younger children, staff fed children, helped children access materials, and assisted children with movement. In another room, staff assisted children with finishing eating lunch and preparing for rest time. Staff brought children’s lunch that was sent from home, into the classrooms. You explained parents are required to provide meals that meet nutrition requirements. If a meal sent from home does not, you would provide a supplement that will provide the items needed to meet the requirements. You do not have parents complete a nutrition opt out form. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on 5/14/2025. All inspections, drills, and program records complied. The facility was monitored for health and safety requirements, equipment, and furnishings. A sampling of children’s records and staff files was also monitored. Information was documented on the staff and training worksheet and children’s records form. One violation regarding children and one regarding staff records was documented. A checklist was also used to monitor compliance. This facility does not provide transportation. The facility’s owner is current/active with the NCSOS.
