This family child care home currently operates with a Three-Star license issued on June 4, 2018, earning four (4) points in the Education Component, two (2) points in the Program Component, and one (1) quality point. The last annual compliance visit was completed on February 7, 2025. The program’s Home Occupation permit does not expire until 10/28/25. The children in care were observed playing in activity centers together and the youngest was napping. Observed Interactions between the caregiver and children that were nurturing in nature. The following violations of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 1847 A child care operator did not notify the Division of any new child care providers, as defined in G.S. 110-90.2(a)(2), who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The provider has yet to complete the ABCMS Provider Portal training and there is no program roster on the website. G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance can be mailed or emailed to me and must be received by October 28, 2025. If mailing, you must submit two (2) signed and dated copies. My mailing and email addresses are noted at the bottom. The letter of compliance must detail how the violation was corrected.

If it is determined that submitted information was inaccurate or willfully falsified, an Administrative Action, including Revocation of the facility’s license could be issued. CAREGIVER & CHILD INTERACTIONS/OBSERVATIONS This family child care home has a schedule and activity plan posted. Upon my arrival two (2) of the three (3) children present were playing in activity centers. The one (1) year old child was napping. The current schedule notes free choice center play from 10am-10:45am. Then outdoor play from 10:45am-11:10am. The caregiver reviewed the days of the week, which were written on the dry erase board, with the child who was interested. They also reviewed the letters posted on the wall. Interactions between you and the children were familiar nurturing in nature. There are materials present that can be used to implement the activity. Currently the yard is being cleaned of leaves, and the children did not go outside at the designated time. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Technical assistance given related to the rocking toy kept in the outdoor play area. When you see signs of the red handle bar covers on the single rocking toy remove it from the area until you can replace the covers. Items discussed as technical assistance may be documented as violations if out of compliance during monitoring visits. Remember that when infants are older they also need to wash their hands after diapering in addition to the caregiver changing the diaper. I recommend installing hooks or a shelf (five feet above the floor) by the diaper changing table to store soapy water and disinfectant water for convenience. QRIS MODERNIZATION TRANSITION We reviewed the information and informed me that you plan to choose pathway #2 to continue with a three (3) star rated license, although you are considering applying for a four (4) star when it is time to transition. We reviewed the capacity, family/community engagement, CQI plan, education standards. I recommend considering at least the four (4) star options as you already meet the level for education requirements. I emailed you copies of the FCCH education standards and the requirements for pathways one (1) and two (2). I showed you how to locate the QRIS Modernization page on the DCDEE website, which you wrote down. We have a tentative plan to submit the application for a rated license assessment during the month of February 2026. This will give you time to finalize your decision and decide on what family/community engagement standards, curriculum, formative assessment and CQI standards you will choose and implement. Please contact me if you have any additional questions or need clarification. ABCMS PROVIDER PORTAL TRAINING You stated that you have not completed the required ABCMS Provider Portal training. Nor did I observe a roster for your program after checking the ABCMS website. Therefore, a violation was documented. You must complete this training, located on the DCDEE Moodle webpage, within the next two (2) weeks. Once completed you will need to add yourself to the roster for Coretta’s Lil’ Angels, and any additional caregiver you hire. I emailed you guidance on how to do so. Please contact me if you have any issues and I can make the appropriate referrals. Licensing fee invoices will be emailed around November 1st. Please ensure you notify me if there is a change to the program’s email address. Payment must be made online, on the Division website listed below, by the date noted on your invoice. Please be reminded that failure to pay the license fee is a violation of General Statutes 110-90(1a) and will result in a penalty assessment, accrued interest, and issuance of an Administrative Action.

A child enrolled on 2/7/24 does not have a medical report on file.

CHILDREN RECORDS I monitored children’s records, and violations were documented. There was no medical report on file for the child who enrolled on 2/7/2024 (A. Williams). Children are required to have a medical report within thirty (30) days of enrollment to ensure they are clear to participate in typical early education and child care routines.

Child Care Rules require that no more than thirty (30) minutes of any screen time may be offered daily. Please be reminded that children under the age of three (3) years cannot have any screen time and must be given alternative activities. Screen time must be documented on the DCDEE screen time log which can be found under “Provider Documents” on the DCDEE website. PROGRAM RECORDS There was no documentation that playground inspections were completed on February, May or November of 2024. I recommend setting reminders on your phone, computer calendar or paper calendar to complete playground inspections and document them on the DCDEE form. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Technical assistance given related to documentation of sleep checks, ensure that you always document the infant’s sleep position at each fifteen (15) minute check. Please monitor the tread on the van used to transport children, as the tread may soon below the required 2/32 inches. Ensure that infants enrolled have the chance to play on their tummies when awake. This helps them build motor skills and strengthen their necks and arms. It also offers them a different way to interact with their environment. Child Care Rules require that the EPR plan be completed on a template provided by the Division of Emergency Management at http://rmp.nc.gov/portal/#;. The EPR plan must be reviewed yearly, even if not changes are required. You must log into the risk management portal to review your program’s EPR plan and either print the cover page or page 28 to document the date of review for verification. If these tasks are not completed, they may warrant a violation during monitoring visits. Continue to ensure that all aerosol and cleaning products (including disinfectant wipes) are kept in locked storage when not in use. If observed to be out of compliance these items may warrant a violation. The Clean Water for Carolina Kids program is expanding to the Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program.

This family child care home currently operates with a Three-Star license issued on June 4, 2018, earning four (4) points in the Education Component, two (2) points in the Program Component, and one (1) quality point. The last annual compliance visit was completed on February 12, 2024. The program’s Home Occupation permit does not expire until 10/28/25. The children in care were observed having lunch, engaging in screen time and nap time. Observed Interactions between the caregiver and children that were nurturing in nature. The following violations of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 910 Copy of each child's health assessment, including the operator's own preschool child(ren), was not on file within 30 days of enrollment. A child enrolled on 2/7/24 does not have a medical report on file. GS 110-91(1); 10A NCAC 09.1721(a)(1) 923 Operator did not keep records of monthly fire drills, quarterly lockdown or shelter-in-place drills, incident reports, incident logs, accurate attendance, emergency numbers, emergency preparedness and response plan, field trip/transportation permission, pet vaccinations records and/or playground inspections monthly outdoor safety checks for a minimum of one year. No playground inspections were documented for February, May or November of 2024. .1721 (e)(7) 1103 For each child being transported, the operator or other transportation provider did not have identifying information, including the child's name, photograph, emergency contact information, and a copy of the emergency medical care information form required by Rule .1721(a )(3) in the vehicle whenever children were transported. Emergency information for children used for transportation did not have identifying pictures attached. .1723(13) 1968 Screen time was not limited to a maximum of thirty minutes per day, and no more than two and a half hours per week, per child. Screen time was offered for more than thirty (30) minutes during the visit. .1718(b)(2) 2055 An individual sleeping space for resting such as a bed, crib, play pen, cot, mat, or sleeping bag with individual linens was not provided for each pre-school age child who was in care for four hours or more, or for all children if overnight care is provided. There was no linen on the cots used by children at nap time. 10A NCAC 09 .1718(a)(2) The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance can be mailed or emailed to me and must be received by February 20, 2025. If mailing, you must submit two (2) signed and dated copies. My mailing and email addresses are noted at the bottom. The letter of compliance must detail how the violations were corrected. Please be aware that any written information you submit regarding the correction of the violation is legal documentation. Therefore, it is important that all submitted information is accurate and truthful. If it is determined that submitted information was inaccurate or willfully falsified, an Administrative Action, including Revocation of the facility’s license could be issued. CHILDREN RECORDS I monitored children’s records, and violations were documented. There was no medical report on file for the child who enrolled on 2/7/2024 (A. Williams). Children are required to have a medical report within thirty (30) days of enrollment to ensure they are clear to participate in typical early education and child care routines. OPERATOR RECORDS I monitored your record as a caregiver, and it was found to be in compliance. You are required to complete ten (10) hours of on-going training annually. You have completed four (4) hours and must complete six (6) training hours by 2/12/25 to meet requirements. I recommend you visit Moodle on the DCDEE website noted below. Moodle offers a variety of free training courses that may be taken from home. After completing the six (6) hours keep the certificates on file for future review. NAPPING & SLEEPTING PRACTICES During nap time each preschool age child had their own cot, however there was no linen on the cots. All costs are required to have linen (sheet, towel, blanket) between the child and the cot for sanitation purposes. You noted that you have blankets you usually place on the cots. It may be helpful to make it the children’s responsibility to place linen on their cots at nap time. DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE ACTIVITIES Upon my arrival around 11:05am I observed children watching an animated show on television. The television was not turned off until almost 12pm. Child Care Rules require that no more than thirty (30) minutes of any screen time may be offered daily. Please be reminded that children under the age of three (3) years cannot have any screen time and must be given alternative activities. Screen time must be documented on the DCDEE screen time log which can be found under “Provider Documents” on the DCDEE website. PROGRAM RECORDS There was no documentation that playground inspections were completed on February, May or November of 2024. I recommend setting reminders on your phone, computer calendar or paper calendar to complete playground inspections and document them on the DCDEE form. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Technical assistance given related to documentation of sleep checks, ensure that you always document the infant’s sleep position at each fifteen (15) minute check. Please monitor the tread on the van used to transport children, as the tread may soon below the required 2/32 inches. Ensure that infants enrolled have the chance to play on their tummies when awake. This helps them build motor skills and strengthen their necks and arms. It also offers them a different way to interact with their environment. Child Care Rules require that the EPR plan be completed on a template provided by the Division of Emergency Management at http://rmp.nc.gov/portal/#;. The EPR plan must be reviewed yearly, even if not changes are required. You must log into the risk management portal to review your program’s EPR plan and either print the cover page or page 28 to document the date of review for verification. If these tasks are not completed, they may warrant a violation during monitoring visits. Continue to ensure that all aerosol and cleaning products (including disinfectant wipes) are kept in locked storage when not in use. If observed to be out of compliance these items may warrant a violation. 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. Rules 10A NCAC 41C .1001 through .1007 require all programs to be free of lead and asbestos hazards. RTI is coordinating all the lead in water, paint and asbestos testing and remediation. There are webinars that child care providers can watch to get instructions. Go to https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/ for more information. Currently operating child care facilities are required to test lead paint and asbestos once unless the consultant notes a concern during a visit and refers the program to environmental health. After reviewing the website, I noted that the program has started enrollment for the lead paint and asbestos testing. I encourage you to log in as soon as possible to ensure the program is not waiting for additional information to be submitted or completed. I observed that the program started enrollment into the lead water testing program on 6/4/24 but it has yet to be completed. The entire home is licensed for child care and must meet the applicable child care requirements. Although you designated space to be used for child care in one room or a section of the home, the license is issued for the entire location.
