Child Care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with the applicable laws and rules; always whether they have been monitored or specifically discussed with you in the past. The best way for you to ensure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the childcare laws and rules on the Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) website. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before November 19, 2024, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected.

As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days.

Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated.

If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit will be conducted. COMPLIANCE HISTORY: The program's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was 88% percent as of December 7, 2023. CORPORATION STATUS: Hargrove Family Day Care, Inc. is listed as the current owner of this center. According to information verified on the North Carolina Secretary of State’s website, Hargrove Family Day Care, Inc. was current and active. Be reminded the corporation status for your program must always remain Current and Active. Failure to comply may affect your child care license. FACILITY PROFILE INFORMATION: You stated the mailing address, and email address listed for your program are correct. You added the telephone number was incorrect. I asked that you submit a written request to have the telephone number updated in the system. If additional changes in your facility information occurs, please contact me at 252-214-2709 or email keshia.hayward@dhhs.nc.gov to discuss the changes and ensure the information is updated in the system. SAFE SLEEP PRACTICES: The safe sleep policy on file and signed by parent states the program does not allow any objects other than pacifiers such as blankets, pillows and toys in the crib or sleep space; however, an infant was observed sleeping in a crib with a grey blanket. I explained because the safe sleep policy used by the center indicates no items will be allowed in the crib, the blanket should be removed immediately. You stated you would review and revise the safe sleep policy to ensure what is stated will be implemented. I advised you to periodically review the safe sleep policy and evaluate practices being implemented to determine if they are being followed. Parents should be notified when changes are made to the safe sleep policy and updated documentation received verifying the information has been provided. Be reminded parents must be notified at least fourteen days prior to implementing any new policies. The thermometer on the wall was reading a temperature of 79 degrees in the space where infants sleep. I reviewed the safe sleep policy with you and explained the temperature should not exceed 75 degrees. The teacher stated the temperature rises when the classroom doors are closed; however, they must remain closed to ensure children do not leave the classroom. I recommended seeking ways to adjust the temperature, so it does not exceed the 75 degrees. SAFE ENVIRONMENT: I informed you two bolts were protruding from the black barrier enclosing the play equipment on the preschool playground. I suggested having someone hammer the bolts down to ensure they are even with the barrier and eliminate the tripping hazard. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE REVIEW: You stated the emergency preparedness and response plan was reviewed with staff as required; however, documentation was not available for review. I recommended developing a document including all annual reviews and have staff sign it when completed. I also recommended conducting all annual reviews at the same time each year to ensure nothing is forgotten. Scheduling review dates on your calendar is another way to ensure you remember to complete the required reviews. SANITATION REQUIREMENTS: During the visit, I observed the infant caregiver clean the feeding chair trays with disinfectant solution in the classroom. I informed you and the caregiver new sanitation rules require the feeding chair trays to be removed and taken to the kitchen for cleaning. I recommended you and staff review the updated sanitation requirements to ensure they are followed, and your program remains in compliance. ANNUAL LICENSE FEES: You stated the annual license fees for your program has been received and paid. RATED LICENSE REASSESSMENT: We reviewed the education of staff currently working at the program. Education for one lead teacher was not in the DCDEE WORKS system. I advised you to have the caregiver create a DCDEE WORKS account and submit transcripts for education evaluation. All other staff should submit any updated education into the DCDEE WIRKS system is needed. Once education is updated and ready in the DCDEE WORKS system and you are ready contact me to complete the rated license assessment. Your program is currently in Cohort 2; therefore, assessment is not due at this time. CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK REVISIONS: Please take time to read the updated Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2703 Criminal History Record Check Requirements for Child Care Providers that was revised and amended effective October 1, 2023.

SAFE SLEEP PRACTICES: The safe sleep policy on file and signed by parent states the program does not allow any objects other than pacifiers such as blankets, pillows and toys in the crib or sleep space; however, an infant was observed sleeping in a crib with a grey blanket. I explained because the safe sleep policy used by the center indicates no items will be allowed in the crib, the blanket should be removed immediately. You stated you would review and revise the safe sleep policy to ensure what is stated will be implemented. I advised you to periodically review the safe sleep policy and evaluate practices being implemented to determine if they are being followed.

The thermometer on the wall was reading a temperature of 79 degrees in the space where infants sleep. I reviewed the safe sleep policy with you and explained the temperature should not exceed 75 degrees. The teacher stated the temperature rises when the classroom doors are closed; however, they must remain closed to ensure children do not leave the classroom. I recommended seeking ways to adjust the temperature, so it does not exceed the 75 degrees.

I suggested having someone hammer the bolts down to ensure they are even with the barrier and eliminate the tripping hazard.

I recommended developing a document including all annual reviews and have staff sign it when completed. I also recommended conducting all annual reviews at the same time each year to ensure nothing is forgotten. Scheduling review dates on your calendar is another way to ensure you remember to complete the required reviews. SANITATION REQUIREMENTS: During the visit, I observed the infant caregiver clean the feeding chair trays with disinfectant solution in the classroom. I informed you and the caregiver new sanitation rules require the feeding chair trays to be removed and taken to the kitchen for cleaning. I recommended you and staff review the updated sanitation requirements to ensure they are followed, and your program remains in compliance.
