Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your type of program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all the applicable laws and rules always if they have been monitored or specifically discussed with you in the past. The best way for you to make sure that you meet all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules.

CONSULTATION/TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CHILDREN AND STAFF RECORDS: Ten percent (10%) or more of children’s records were monitored. Children records reviewed, were in compliance.

Currently operating child care facilities are required to test lead in paint and asbestos once only unless the consultant notes a concern during a visit and refers to the program to environmental health. All existing licensed programs must complete the application summary for their program regarding lead paint and asbestos by November 1, 2024.

GENERAL RULE REMINDERS: Child Care Licensing Requirements are established to ensure a safe, healthy, and developmentally appropriate environment for all child care facilities. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all licensing requirements that apply for your center. 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.TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND CONSULTATION: Compliance History: Prior to today's visit, this facility has maintained an 18-month compliance score of 100%. MEDICATION: No Medication provided. TRANSPORTATION: No Transportation provided. PROGRAM RECORDS: Fire Drills/Emergency Drills, Fire inspection, Sanitation report, First Aid/CPR Poster, Playground Outdoor Inspections, EMC Plan and License were reviewed and current. Fire Inspection: Fire inspection report was not submitted to DCDEE within one week of the inspection date. You submitted the fire inspection during the visit. DCDEE WORKS: New staff that has not had their education evaluated will need to create a WORKS account by accessing our website under the provider tab, then click DCDEE WORKS. Once account is created, staff should upload or submit original transcripts or certificates to the division for evaluation of their education. Existing staff who has completed additional college course work should also upload and or submit new transcripts. Staff should also apply for what position they want to be evaluated for. (teacher, lead teacher, group leader, etc.) If you need assistance or have any questions, you should contact our workforce education unit. NEW CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK LEGISLATIVE CHANGES: The 2022-2023 Appropriations Bill (HB 103) signed by Governor Cooper on July 11, 2022, made two important changes to North Carolina General Statute 110-90-2 regarding child care Criminal Background Checks. • The period for background check qualification renewals was revised from three years to five years. • The provisional qualification period was reduced to forty-five days. The Division intends to implement these changes as soon as possible. An individual’s current Qualification Letter will be extended 2 years for the total of 5 years. New Qualification Letters will not be generated. Individuals with a Provisional Qualification Letter will receive a Qualification Letter on the 45th day. Letters are generated in the Criminal Background Check portal. HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAININGS: Health and safety trainings are due every five (5) years. If any staff completed trainings in 2017, trainings will be due this year, 2022. I encourage staff to be intentional and start completing trainings. Health and safety trainings are now on MOODLE. There are a couple of ways for a student to access the health and safety training. • The enrollment process and completion of course materials tend to work best with a windows laptop or desktop using Firefox, but other devices and Google Chrome should also work. • From the Moodle home page, students need to log-in with their NCID and password. The log-in is in the upper right corner of the screen. • After log-in, the student should scroll to the bottom of the page. In the ‘Search courses’ box, the student should type in the short name “Year 2023 CCDF” and then click go.

GENERAL RULE REMINDERS: Child Care Licensing Requirements are established to ensure a safe, healthy, and developmentally appropriate environment for all child care facilities. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all licensing requirements that apply for your center. 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. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND CONSULTATION: Compliance History: Prior to today's visit, this facility has maintained an 18-month compliance score of 100%. MEDICATION: No Medication provided. TRANSPORTATION: No Transportation provided. PROGRAM RECORDS: Fire Drills/Emergency Drills, Fire inspection, Sanitation report, First Aid/CPR Poster, Playground Outdoor Inspections, EMC Plan and License were reviewed and current. SANITATION INSPECTION: The last sanitation inspection was completed on May 24, 2022 and has expired. You stated that you have contacted Sanitation inspector several times and hadn't recieved a call back. You called today and left a message and sent a email to request a sanitation inspection during the visit. DCDEE WORKS: New staff that has not had their education evaluated will need to create a WORKS account by accessing our website under the provider tab, then click DCDEE WORKS. Once account is created, staff should upload or submit original transcripts or certificates to the division for evaluation of their education. Existing staff who has completed additional college course work should also upload and or submit new transcripts. Staff should also apply for what position they want to be evaluated for. (teacher, lead teacher, group leader, etc.) If you need assistance or have any questions, you should contact our workforce education unit. NEW CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK LEGISLATIVE CHANGES: The 2022-2023 Appropriations Bill (HB 103) signed by Governor Cooper on July 11, 2022, made two important changes to North Carolina General Statute 110-90-2 regarding child care Criminal Background Checks. • The period for background check qualification renewals was revised from three years to five years. • The provisional qualification period was reduced to forty-five days. The Division intends to implement these changes as soon as possible. An individual’s current Qualification Letter will be extended 2 years for the total of 5 years. New Qualification Letters will not be generated. Individuals with a Provisional Qualification Letter will receive a Qualification Letter on the 45th day. Letters are generated in the Criminal Background Check portal. HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAININGS: Health and safety trainings are due every five (5) years. If any staff completed trainings in 2017, trainings will be due this year, 2022. I encourage staff to be intentional and start completing trainings. Health and safety trainings are now on MOODLE. There are a couple of ways for a student to access the health and safety training. • The enrollment process and completion of course materials tend to work best with a windows laptop or desktop using Firefox, but other devices and Google Chrome should also work. • From the Moodle home page, students need to log-in with their NCID and password. The log-in is in the upper right corner of the screen. • After log-in, the student should scroll to the bottom of the page. In the ‘Search courses’ box, the student should type in the short name “Year 2023 CCDF” and then click go. The student should not register for prior year courses as they are no longer available. • After completing the course search for “Year 2023 CCDF”, the student should be able to register for the course. • Once registered, the student will then need to use the “ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONS” for step-by-step instructions. Should a student encounter an issue, we are requesting they report the CCDF 2023 course issue (i.e. they are unable to complete the course evaluation or receive a training certificate), to the North Carolina Child Care Health and Safety Resource Center using the following link https://healthychildcare.unc.edu/contact-us-form/.

N.C. Exemptions North Carolina law provides for two types of exemptions from required immunizations. They are medical and religious. Medical Exemption G.S.130A-156. Medical exemption. The Commission for Public Health shall adopt by rule medical contraindications to immunizations required by G.S. 130A-152. If a physician licensed to practice medicine in this State certifies that a required immunization is or may be detrimental to a person's health due to the presence of one of the contraindications adopted by the Commission, the person is not required to receive the specified immunization as long as the contraindication persists. The State Health Director may, upon request by a physician licensed to practice medicine in this State, grant a medical exemption to a required immunization for a contraindication not on the list adopted by the Commission. Medical exemptions can only be requested by a physician licensed to practice medicine in North Carolina. If a physician determines the need to request a medical exemption from a required immunization for a patient and needs assistance, they should contact the North Carolina Immunization Branch at (919) 707-5550. * (08/03/2020)Revised Medical Exemption Statement and Physician’s Request for Medical Exemption Forms Memo * Medical Exemption (PDF, 170 KB) (DHHS 3987) Use this form for true contraindications, i.e. those recognized by the Commission for Public Health. * Physician’s Request for Medical Exemption (PDF, 136 KB) (DHHS 3995) Use this form for contraindications not recognized by the Commission for Public Health. Religious Exemption G.S.130A-157. Religious exemption If the bona fide religious beliefs of an adult or the parent, guardian or person in loco parentis of a child are contrary to the immunization requirements contained in this Part, the adult or the child shall be exempt from the requirements. Upon submission of a written statement of the bona fide religious beliefs and opposition to the immunization requirements, the person may attend the college, university, school or facility without presenting a certificate of immunization. There is no form for requesting religious exemptions in North Carolina. To claim a religious exemption, the parent or person requesting the exemption must write a statement of their religious objection to immunization, including the name and date of birth of the person for whom the exemption is being requested. This statement would then be provided to schools, child care programs, camps, etc. in place of an immunization record. If a family is requesting a religious exemption for more than one child, a separate statement should be prepared for each child. Statements of religious objection to immunization do not need to be notarized, signed by a religious leader, or prepared by an attorney. They do not need to be submitted to the state for review or approval. Personal Belief 10A NCAC 41A .0403 Non-Religious Personal Belief No Exemption: Except as provided in G.S. 130A-156 and G.S. 130A-157, and 10A NCAC 41A .0404 and .0405, no child shall be exempt from the requirements of 10A NCAC 41 .0401; there is no exception to these requirements for the case of a personal belief or philosophy of a parent or guardian not founded upon a religious belief.
