The allegation report was reviewed with Y. Gatling, Owner, and C. Tyler, Administrator. You were given the opportunity to discuss the allegations. Sixteen (16) children were present ages one (1) to ten (10) years old. FINDINGS/OBSERVATIONS Required regulatory components for a complaint visit were monitored. A walkthrough of the facility was conducted, and attendance, staff/child ratios, adequate/approved space, supervision, and license posted/restrictions were observed. When asked if there were any recent concerns from parents, Y. Gatling and C. Tyler stated there had been no communication from a parent regarding any problems with them at the center. However, upon asking specific questions regarding the allegations, the provider specified a parent whose situation was related to the questions. I asked to view the menu for the facility. The menu is current and reflects breakfast and lunch, the center is provided by the school system. We discussed the facility’s policy on parents bringing food for their children. I was provided with a copy of the policy. The policy states parents are not required to provide food for their children but may choose to do so on their won accord. According to C. Tyler, the parent voluntarily bought food and when she did it was not enough to feed the two children she had enrolled. She stated the center had to provide food to supplement what was not received by the parent. W. M Walton, Lead Teacher in the space where infant/toddlers are cared for, was asked about diaper changing procedures. She stated she always changes the children on the changing table and cleans and sanitizes it afterward. Posted materials for diaper changing procedures was observed. We discussed the policy for transportation. Y. Gatling stated one day she overslept and met the parent at the center and asked permission to transport the children to pick up the other staff for the center. She stated the parent agreed and that the parent strapped the children in the car seats herself, that were provided. The center did not communicate with the consultant about providing transportation. The center’s operating hours are 6:00am-6:00pm. However, according to Ms. Gatling the parent changed jobs and did not notify the center of her new work schedule. Based on observations and information provided, one of the allegations regarding violations of child care requirements were confirmed. The following violations of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 1110 Vehicles used to transport children enrolled in the child care center did not comply with all applicable State and federal laws and regulations.The vehicle used to transport children did not have a list of children being transported, emergency/identifying information for children being transported, and did not have a first aid kit/fire extinguisher. .1002(b) 1125 Before children were transported, written permission from a parent was not obtained that included when and where the child was to be transported, expected time of departure and arrival, and the transportation provider. Permission to transport was no on record for the children transported. .1003(i)(j) Child Care Licensing Requirements are established to ensure a safe, healthy, and developmentally appropriate environment for all child care facilities.

Currently operating child care facilities are required to test for lead in paint and asbestos once unless the consultant notes a concern during a visit and refers the program to environmental health. All existing licensed programs must complete the application summary for their program regarding lead paint and asbestos by May 1, 2024. The application is on the https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/ website.
