Name of Operation: Miss Kay's Busy Bees Explore Centre Facility ID: 79000336 Consultant: TAMMY CHILDRESS Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 4/9/2025 Number Present: 9 Completed Date: 4/9/2025 Age: From 2 To 3 Total Minutes: 160 Time In: 11:35 AM Time Out: 02:15 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Temp Time Period Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to monitor compliance with all applicable child care requirements during the first temporary time visit. The visit was conducted with Kaylon Wilson, by Tammy Childress, Lead Child Care Consultant. Currently this center operates with a Temporary License, issued on March 11, 2025, to operate first shift. The facility is licensed to provide care for children ages two to twelve-years-old and is approved to operate one large classroom within the building. Restrictions are daytime care only. The building has an entrance and exit door within the large classroom. The Secretary of State website was reviewed, and the owner, Bee’s Discovery and Learning Centre LLC, is current on all required documents and active on the NC Business Registry. If any changes to the corporation need to be made or you decide to sale your business, then you must notify your consultant at least thirty days prior to any changes occurring. The license cannot be bought, sold, subleased, transferred to another person or location, or inherited. The classroom, including materials and furnishings, was monitored during the visit. Nine children ages two and three years old were in care today with two caregiver(s), and the children were observed to be engaged in lunch, personal care routines, free choice play, large group time with a teacher reading a book and rest time. All program records, documents required to be posted, and a sampling of staff and children’s files were monitored. There is one playground located at the back and right side of the facility which was monitored during the visit. The facility does not provide transportation. Meals, snacks and beverages are prepared in the facility kitchen, which is separated from the large classroom by a half wall and a gated section, which was approved by sanitation. The following violations were cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 125 Daily records of arrival and departure times for children at the center were not maintained as children arrive and depart and/or were not made available for review. One child present did not have a documented arrival time for today. 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(4) 528 Food substitution was not of comparable food value or recorded on the menu prior to the meal or snack being served. Food substitutions for lunch were not recorded on the menus posted in the classroom nor the kitchen prior to lunch being served 10A NCAC 09 .0901(b) 808 The child care center premises, including the outdoor learning environment, was not clean, drained to minimize standing water, free of litter and hazards, and/or maintained in a manner which does not create conditions that attract or harbor pests. A mop bucket in the children's play area held standing water and debris. 15A NCAC 18A .2832(a) 840 All corrosive agents, pesticides, bleaches, detergents, cleansers, polishes, any product which is under pressure in an aerosol dispenser, and any substance which may be hazardous to a child if ingested, inhaled, or handled were not stored in a locked room or cabinet. Hazardous cleaning supplies including bleach, all purpose cleaners, disinfecting wipes, floor mopping solutions, toilet bowl cleaner, wax polish and aerosol disinfecting spray were in unlocked storage (cabinets) or placed on a high open shelf in the kitchen. .2820(b) 1032 Child care providers and uncompensated providers who are not substitute providers or volunteers, including the director did not have a medical report on file prior to employment that was signed by a health care professional and/ or the medical report was older than 12 months. One staff member did not have a medical report on file prior to employment. 10A NCAC 09 .0701(a) 1203 Operational policies were not discussed with parents on or before the child's first day and/or they were not notified in writing of all changes. There was no documentation on file for one enrolled child that operational polices were received or reviewed by the parents. 10A NCAC 09 .0514(b) 1233 Each employee's personnel file did not contain a signed and dated statement that they received a job description and that they have received personnel and operational policies. Two staff member's personnel files did not contain signed or dated statements that operational and personnel policies were reviewed. 10A NCAC 09 .0514(g) All violations must be corrected immediately. You must submit documentation on how each violation was corrected to Ms. Childress by April 23, 2025. The documentation should be submitted by email to Ms. Childress at tammy.childress@dhhs.nc.gov. Include in the documentation the following: 1.Name of your facility and ID# 2.Date of the Visit 3.Date of the Documentation you are submitting 4.Each Item Number of the Violations Cited 5.Date of when each item number was corrected 6.How the item was corrected 7.Signature of the person submitting the documentation Technical Assistance Regarding the Violations Documented: Arrival and departure times for each child must be documented daily as they occur. If a parent or person dropping off or picking the child up from care does not complete the sign-in and out with the times of arrival and departure staff will need to ensure that they document the information. As staff greet children and parents at the door, this would be an opportunity to look at the arrival departure form (which is placed on a podium at the door) and make sure the information has been written down. When food substitutions are made you should document the substitutions on the menus posted in the classroom as well as in the kitchen immediately (prior to meals or snacks being served). If you know that the substitution is being made prior to children’s arrival, document the substitution at that time. Hazardous cleaning supplies including aerosol sprays, bleach, disinfectant wipes, wax polish, toilet bowl cleaner, window cleaner and all-purpose cleaner with multiple warnings were in two unlocked cabinets and one open shelf above the kitchen sinks. We reviewed multiple warnings and aerosol cans always being placed in locked storage. We reviewed types of locked storage (key, magnetic, combination or electronic) and Ms. Wilson removed each of the products and placed them in a locked filing cabinet in the office. The outdoor learning environment must be kept free of hazards at all times. I observed a mop bucket near the gate on the concrete pad in the children’s play area. The bucket had standing water and leaves inside. We discussed the hazards of standing water in the play area and children’s access. Ms. Wilson stated that they do not use the mop bucket and she emptied and threw it in the outdoor trash during the visit. Use the File Checklists for Children’s and Staff Files which can be found on the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.nc.gov, under the Provider tab on the home screen, and by selecting Provider Documents and Forms. This will help you to ensure that all required documents are on file for each enrolled child and each staff member. Placing the checklist in the file is also a way for you to quickly see if any forms are missing. Consultation provided during today’s visit: We reviewed how to complete compliance documentation and a sample was emailed to Kaylon during the visit. Complete a fire drill and a playground inspection no later than April 11, 2025. Update the activity plans to reflect the current date. Compliance History Your compliance history affects the star rating. It is imperative that staff maintain compliance with child care rules and requirements at all times. Violations of child care requirements affect the facility’s compliance history. You must maintain a minimum compliance history of seventy-five (75) percent. We reviewed a sample compliance history report and how the compliance history is generated during the pre-licensing visit conducted on March 7, 2025. Rated License Assessment, Environmental Rating Scale Assessments, Quality Point, and Subsidy During the pre-licensing visit conducted on March 7, 2025, and again during today’s visit we discussed how rated license points are earned, the process for the rated license assessment and information regarding the Environment Rating Scale Assessment (third edition), and resources for the NC Rated License Assessment Project (ncrlap.org) and Rockingham Partnership for Children (rockinghamkids.org (website), (336)342-9676, info@rockinghamkids.org (email). An application for a Rated License Assessment, a Request for an Environment Rating Scale Assessment and a Quality Point option form were provided to Ms. Wilson during today’s visit. These forms must be submitted by email to Ms. Childress at tammy.childress@dhhs.nc.gov no later than the Rated License application and the Request for the Environment Rating Scale Assessment to Ms. Childress no later than June 11, 2025. As the owner of another licensed facility, Ms. Bisceglari Wilson is aware of how to enroll in NC Fast and the required steps to participate in the Subsidized Child Care Program through the Rockingham County Department of Social Services. Ms. Wilson is aware that for continued eligibility in the subsidized child care program, the facility must achieve a three star or higher rated license at the end of the temporary licensed period. DCDEE WORKS Accounts Please ensure that all staff members have a WORKS Account and are updated with their correct educational information. The information on each staff member’s WORKS Qualification Letter and what is shown in the DCDEE WORKS system is what will be used to determine the points in education for your license. Ms. Childress emailed Ms. Wilson (Bisceglari) instructions for creating a WORKS Account, Submitting Official Transcripts, and Educational Guidelines for all staff positions on March 13, 2025. Instructions for the DCDEE WORKS system is located in the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov.
