This program currently operates with a temporary license effective March 23, 2023 to September 23, 2023. Applicable childcare requirements were discussed with Ms. Kimberly Martin, Operator. All indoor and outdoor areas of the home approved for child care were monitored during today’s visit. One child, three (3) years old child was present; he is the operator’s grandson. The child was observed during free play activities. Program records, operator file, and one new child’s file was monitored during today’s visit. For lunch the child was served meat balls, mashed potatoes and gravy, mixed fruit, and milk. The following was also observed during today’s visit: capacity; CPR/FA and SIDS; storage of hazardous products; adequate/approved space; posted license and permit restrictions. According to Ms. Martin there has been no change to her contact information. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with Ms. Martin. Violation Number Comment Rule 714 Monthly check for hazards on the outdoor play area was not completed using a form supplied by the Division. According to the operator she is conducting the inspections monthly, but she has not documented it monthly. The last inspection was documented on March 3, 2023. 10A NCAC .1721(e)(5)(A-F) 1718 The written plan of care was not given and explained to parents of children in care on or before the first day the child attended the home. Parents did not sign a statement acknowledging the receipt and explanation of the plan. Parents did not give written permission for their child to be transported by the operator for specific routine tasks that are included on the written schedule. This was not on file for one child enrolled. .1712(e )(6) The violation/s documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance must be mailed to me by August 16, 2023, stating that the violation/s have been corrected. The letter can be emailed to me at leisa.benson@dhhs.nc.gov or mailed to the following address: Leisa Benson 2201 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699 If you state in the compliance letter that corrections have been made when they have not, this will be considered falsification of information. If you cannot meet the requirements by August 16, 2023, you must contact me with a purposed timeline of the corrections. In some cases, this timeline may be extended. You are required to always maintain compliance with all applicable child care rules and regulations. NC GS 110-90(4)(d) requires all child care facilities to maintain a compliance history score of at least 75% for the past eighteen (18) months or during the length of time the facility has operated, whichever is less. Failure to do so may result in the issuance of a provisional license or other administrative action. Violations cited during today’s visit, may negatively affect your compliance score. As of today’s, visit your compliance history is 98%. Rated License Assessment: Ms. Martin will continue to receive subsidy payments at a 3star market rate until her Temporary License expires on September 23, 2023. In order to continue to be eligible for subsidy she will have to transition to at least a 3star license. Ms. Martin stated that she does not want to apply for a higher star license at this time and she understands that she will receive a 1star license. She also stated that she understands she will no longer be eligible for subsidy. She has one child that receives subsidy. She stated that she has talked with the parent about this. I discussed with Ms. Martin that once she receives her 1star license she can apply for a higher star license at any time. I also discussed with Ms. Martin that I cannot process her 1star license until all violations have been corrected and I have received her compliance letter.
