You will need to revisit your process for storing hazardous items and medication in locked storage. You need to ensure it is a process that you and your substitute are able to maintain easily. A hazardous storage checklist may be downloaded from the provider documents section on DCDEE website. Caring For Our Kids is an all-inclusive resource that contains policies, practices, and guidelines for caring for children. This resource may be accessed at www.nrckids.org/CFOC. You may search many topics including those related to storage of hazardous items and medication to gain information to maintain the safety and well-being of children. Activity Plan: Maintaining a current activity plan helps you keep children engaged in a variety of activities that promote overall development. You explained you have completed activity plans that are stored away. In stipulation four(4) of your corrective action plan for the administrative action you received, you are required to obtain technical assistance regarding planning developmentally appropriate activities for children of various ages.

The staff member did not wash her hands before or after diapering and the children’s hands after diapering. The table was then used for other items for the staff member. The staff member did use gloves while diapering. You may visit healthychildcare.unc.edu for copies of a diapering and handwashing poster. You will need to establish sanitary diapering procedures.

I explained you will need to place a barrier secured in place around the fireplace that will keep the children away from the hot surface before you are approved to use the fireplace. Children were walking freely in front of the space. You immediately turned off the fireplace but the surface remained hot until it cooled. Based on the chart below and the temperatures documented, a child could accidentally trip and use their hands to catch themselves and obtain third degree burns within seconds.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: Medical Action Plan - Having a medical action plan in place when caring for children with health issues is vital in ensuring their health and safety. These health issues could include allergies, asthma, or other chronic conditions that require specialized health services. The maintenance of these plans and the ability to implement such plans for the treatment of reactions are essential. It is important to remember that a medical action plan must be attached to the child’s application for enrollment, completed by the child's parent or a health care professional and must be updated on an annual basis. Permission to administer emergency medications must be updated every 6 months by the parent. Today we discussed you may access medical action plans on DCDEE’s provider document tab. You explained you will print the allergy action plan out for the two parents and have them complete the documents. Record Keeping – Continued review of required records to ensure they are complete is essential to meeting the health and safety needs of children. If records are not on file, obtaining those items immediately should be your goal to ensure you have all the necessary tools to meet each child’s individual health and safety need. It also provides a level of reassurance to parents that they understand your policies and practices while their child is in your care. Today I observed you have physical and scanned electronic files for all the children listed as enrolled. I reviewed the electronic version. However, there were still items that were missing from some children’s records. You explained you gave the documents to the parents but did not receive all the items back. You will need to develop a method to ensure the documents are completed within the required timeframe. You may consider having parents complete their forms onsite. Continued noncompliance of child care requirements may result in administrative action. The violations were reviewed with you today and the visit summary was reviewed with you after today’s visit. Feel free to contact me with questions at 919-819-9382 or antionette.williams@dhhs.nc.gov. 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

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: Sleep Charts – Monitoring sleeping infants sleep position at least every fifteen minutes is critical in ensuring the safety of infants while they are sleeping. There have been infants that have died in child care settings. If you are unable to meet this requirement for each infant beginning the first day they are in care, you may consider only caring for children ages one and above. You may contact Child Care Services Association for assistance in caring for infants and toddlers. You may also visit www.zerotothree.org for additional guidance on caring for infants. This is a repeat violation from visits on 10/24/23 and 3/20/24. Storage of Hazardous Items – Items in aerosol dispenser are hazards due to the pressure and possible eye and inhalation hazard. Lysol and sunscreen were stored on a shelf and in the kitchen. You stated you do not have anywhere to lock up hazardous items downstairs. I explained hazardous items may be kept upstairs in your personal space where children cannot access them since children are only allowed on the lower level. There are many different kinds of locks that can be installed on cabinets to create locked storage. This is a repeat violation from a visit on 3/20/24. Transportation - Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in children two to fourteen years of age in the United States. It is necessary for the safety of children for you to comply with requirements governing the transportation of children in care, in the absence of the parent/guardian. Each child transported must have emergency contact information on file along with a photograph of each child. This is helpful in identifying children in the event of an emergency/accident. You are not approved to transport children. You explained you recently started transporting a child to a bus stop so the child can attend a half day preschool. The child transported does not have the required permission from the parent or required identifying information. Your vehicle has not received current vehicle registration and does not meet local and state requirements for transporting children. You explained a light is on in the vehicle that is preventing you from obtaining the vehicle’s registration. You must meet all requirements and obtain approval from DCDEE before you can transport children. You will need to stop transporting children. Children/Substitute Records – Record keeping is one of the most time-consuming tasks associated with administering a child care program. It is an important part of licensure. Maintaining accurate children records can help identify special care giving and medical needs of children. Organization and completeness of records is important to ensure easy access to information in emergency situations. Review children’s files often to ensure the program is maintaining accurate licensing records. We discussed making sure that you develop a record keeping system for children’s and staff’s records that promotes organization and efficiency. It is your responsibility to review all staff’s documentation and verify that required documents are received within the specified time frame. A children and substitute file checklist are available on the DCDEE website under the Provider tab and provider documents links. This facility has developed and implemented a shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma policy. On the first day of employment, staff must sign an acknowledgement regarding the receipt of the shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma policy. This acknowledgment must be maintained on file for review. You must review the policy with the substitute and have them sign a statement acknowledging the review has occurred. You explained you are interested in looking at electronic record-keeping system. We discussed that parents would need to be able to sign documents with any system you choose. You stated your substitute may be able to assist in organizing records and establishing an electronic record-keeping system. This is a repeat violation from a visit on 10/24/23. Activity plans – Activity plans help ensure that activities are developmentally appropriate for the children enrolled. Plans for all children must include activities daily to stimulate the following 5 developmental domains, as listed in your NC Foundations for Early Learning and Development book: social &emotional development, health & physical development, approaches to play and learning, language development/communication, and cognitive development. You explained you are in the process of moving the child care space to another room and some items have been taken off display. You may find a sample activity plan in the provider documents section on DCDEE website. Health and Safety trainings – You must complete training in each topic area at least every five years, except for CPR/First Aid (every 2 years) and Safe Sleep Training (every 3 years).

Each child transported must have emergency contact information on file along with a photograph of each child. This is helpful in identifying children in the event of an emergency/accident. You are not approved to transport children. You explained you recently started transporting a child to a bus stop so the child can attend a half day preschool. The child transported does not have the required permission from the parent or required identifying information. Your vehicle has not received current vehicle registration and does not meet local and state requirements for transporting children. You explained a light is on in the vehicle that is preventing you from obtaining the vehicle’s registration. You must meet all requirements and obtain approval from DCDEE before you can transport children. You will need to stop transporting children. Children/Substitute Records – Record keeping is one of the most time-consuming tasks associated with administering a child care program. It is an important part of licensure. Maintaining accurate children records can help identify special care giving and medical needs of children. Organization and completeness of records is important to ensure easy access to information in emergency situations. Review children’s files often to ensure the program is maintaining accurate licensing records. We discussed making sure that you develop a record keeping system for children’s and staff’s records that promotes organization and efficiency. It is your responsibility to review all staff’s documentation and verify that required documents are received within the specified time frame. A children and substitute file checklist are available on the DCDEE website under the Provider tab and provider documents links. This facility has developed and implemented a shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma policy. On the first day of employment, staff must sign an acknowledgement regarding the receipt of the shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma policy. This acknowledgment must be maintained on file for review. You must review the policy with the substitute and have them sign a statement acknowledging the review has occurred. You explained you are interested in looking at electronic record-keeping system. We discussed that parents would need to be able to sign documents with any system you choose. You stated your substitute may be able to assist in organizing records and establishing an electronic record-keeping system. This is a repeat violation from a visit on 10/24/23.

Plans for all children must include activities daily to stimulate the following 5 developmental domains, as listed in your NC Foundations for Early Learning and Development book: social &emotional development, health & physical development, approaches to play and learning, language development/communication, and cognitive development. You explained you are in the process of moving the child care space to another room and some items have been taken off display.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: Sleep Charts – Monitoring sleeping infants sleep position at least every fifteen minutes is critical in ensuring the safety of infants while they are sleeping. There have been infants that have died in child care settings. If you are unable to meet this requirement for each infant beginning the first day they are in care, you may consider only caring for children ages one and above. You may contact Child Care Services Association for assistance in caring for infants and toddlers. You may also visit www.zerotothree.org for additional guidance on caring for infants. This is a repeat violation from visits on 10/24/23 and 3/20/24. Storage of Hazardous Items – Items in aerosol dispenser are hazards due to the pressure and possible eye and inhalation hazard. Lysol and sunscreen were stored on a shelf and in the kitchen. You stated you do not have anywhere to lock up hazardous items downstairs. I explained hazardous items may be kept upstairs in your personal space where children cannot access them since children are only allowed on the lower level. There are many different kinds of locks that can be installed on cabinets to create locked storage. This is a repeat violation from a visit on 3/20/24. Transportation - Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in children two to fourteen years of age in the United States. It is necessary for the safety of children for you to comply with requirements governing the transportation of children in care, in the absence of the parent/guardian. Each child transported must have emergency contact information on file along with a photograph of each child. This is helpful in identifying children in the event of an emergency/accident. You are not approved to transport children. You explained you recently started transporting a child to a bus stop so the child can attend a half day preschool. The child transported does not have the required permission from the parent or required identifying information. Your vehicle has not received current vehicle registration and does not meet local and state requirements for transporting children. You explained a light is on in the vehicle that is preventing you from obtaining the vehicle’s registration. You must meet all requirements and obtain approval from DCDEE before you can transport children. You will need to stop transporting children. Children/Substitute Records – Record keeping is one of the most time-consuming tasks associated with administering a child care program. It is an important part of licensure. Maintaining accurate children records can help identify special care giving and medical needs of children. Organization and completeness of records is important to ensure easy access to information in emergency situations. Review children’s files often to ensure the program is maintaining accurate licensing records. We discussed making sure that you develop a record keeping system for children’s and staff’s records that promotes organization and efficiency. It is your responsibility to review all staff’s documentation and verify that required documents are received within the specified time frame. A children and substitute file checklist are available on the DCDEE website under the Provider tab and provider documents links. This facility has developed and implemented a shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma policy. On the first day of employment, staff must sign an acknowledgement regarding the receipt of the shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma policy. This acknowledgment must be maintained on file for review. You must review the policy with the substitute and have them sign a statement acknowledging the review has occurred. You explained you are interested in looking at electronic record-keeping system. We discussed that parents would need to be able to sign documents with any system you choose. You stated your substitute may be able to assist in organizing records and establishing an electronic record-keeping system. This is a repeat violation from a visit on 10/24/23. Activity plans – Activity plans help ensure that activities are developmentally appropriate for the children enrolled. Plans for all children must include activities daily to stimulate the following 5 developmental domains, as listed in your NC Foundations for Early Learning and Development book: social &emotional development, health & physical development, approaches to play and learning, language development/communication, and cognitive development. You explained you are in the process of moving the child care space to another room and some items have been taken off display. You may find a sample activity plan in the provider documents section on DCDEE website. Health and Safety trainings – You must complete training in each topic area at least every five years, except for CPR/First Aid (every 2 years) and Safe Sleep Training (every 3 years). Your substitute must complete health and safety training by 10/24/2024. To access DCDEE Moodle: see instructions below.
