Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. 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. COMPLIANCE HISTORY: Prior to today's visit, this facility maintained an 18-month compliance score of 100%. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE/CONSULTATION: CAREGIVER & CHILDREN RECORDS: Verification of required information for operator form was received and all information was in compliance. Ongoing training hours were observed. Children records were monitored in compliance. CLEAN WATER FOR US KIDS: The Clean Water for Carolina Kids program is expanding to the Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program. This is a legislatively mandated effort to address lead and asbestos hazards in North Carolina public schools, licensed child care centers, and licensed family child care homes. Participation allows facilities to meet all rule requirements for identified lead and asbestos hazards, as required by law. Currently operating child care facilities are required to test lead in paint and asbestos 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. The application is on the https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/ website. Please log into https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/ to ensure you are meeting the requirements for Lead in Water / Paint/Asbestos testing. STAR RATED LICENSE (SRL): Hold harmless has been extended until the new QRIS is implemented (SB 425). This means that no child care facilities in cohort one will have a rated license assessment this year unless they voluntarily want to. Also, cohort two do not need to start a preparation year. More information will be forthcoming. PROVIDER DOCUMENTS/FORMS: You should visit the website often to ensure you’re using all updated forms.
