Name of Operation: YMCA ADVENTURE ZONE Facility ID: 64000310 Consultant: FELICIA FAISON Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 5/8/2026 Number Present: 0 Completed Date: 5/8/2026 Age: From 0 To 0 Total Minutes: 145 Time In: 09:50 AM Time Out: 12:15 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Other Announced/Unannounced: Announced The purpose of my announced visit today was to monitor staff records as all applicable child care requirements were reviewed during the annual compliance visit conducted on April 14, 2026. We reviewed and signed the staff & training worksheet, and I monitored the two (2) remaining mini buses to finalize the annual compliance visit. You, C. Williams, administrator, were on site and assisted with the visit. Due to time constraints, I was unable to monitor staff records at the time of the annual compliance visit. Therefore, we scheduled a visit for today to monitor staff records with the completed staff and training worksheet. There were no children in care as this program serves school-aged children and the visit was conducted prior to Nash County Public Schools dismissal. The following violations of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 1033 On or before the first day of work, all staff, including the director and individuals who volunteer more than once per week did not provide results indicating that they were free of active TB and/or TB test or screening was older than 12 months. The staff member hired 2/5/26 has a medical report and TB screening/test dated 2/10/26. .0701(a) 1041 Prior to employment a Criminal Background Check was not completed. Qualification letters for staff hired 12/31/25 and 2/5/26 are dated after their hire date. G.S. 110-90.2(b) 1921 Staff working in part-time, full-day or track out school age care programs required to complete BSAC training, did not complete it within three months of employment. Staff members hired on 12/11/25 and 12/30/25 have yet to complete BSAC training. .2510(j) 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 May 22, 2026. 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(s) 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. STAFF RECORDS I monitored all new staff and ten (10) percent, or more, remaining staff records and a violation was documented. Three (3) violations were documented. Staff hired on 12/11/25 and 12/30/23 have not completed the required BSAC training. Staff that work in the classroom with school-aged children must complete a BSAC training within their first three (3) months of hire to ensure they are trained in how to offer care for this age group that is developmentally appropriate. A staff member hired on 2/5/26 did not complete a medical report or TB screening/test until 2/10/26. Child Care Rules require that staff have a medical report and TB screening/test completed prior to being hired and working with children. Staff hired on 12/31/25 and 2/5/26 have qualification letters dated 1/2/26 and 2/16/26 respectively. A criminal back ground check must be completed and the qualification on file on file prior to, or on the first day of, being hired and working with children. If the YMCA officially hires staff prior to completing the above requirements then they should not work with enrolled children until they do. Therefore, you would use the date that they work in their group leader/counselor role, etc., as their “date of employment” on the required program forms. Appropriate staff are indicated on the staff and training worksheet. A signed copy was left with you at the conclusion of the visit. You submitted compliance related to the plan to avoid repeating the qualification letter, medical report and immunization record violations. Therefore, these were corrected during the visit. I also monitored the two (2) remaining mini buses VVZ1862 and VVZ1860 for compliance with transportation requirements. Currently these mini buses meet transportation requirements. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Technical assistance discussed regarding ensuring that staff add information for their preferred health care professional at the bottom of the “Emergency Information” form. This included the name, address and phone number for their preferred health care professional. Should a medical emergency occur and they are unable to tell you you’ll be able to get them to the doctor/hospital where they receive care. Please feel free to contact me at (984) 867-7089 or email at Felicia.faison@dhhs.nc.gov for questions and assistance. If needed my mailing address is PO Box 61161, Raleigh NC 27661. You may also contact Susan Fuller, Licensing Supervisor at (252) 373-9809. If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000).

Upon my arrival staff were off-site at an administrative meeting. While typing an attempted visit summary I was assisted by *** and let into the area used for child care to review the children’s files and classrooms. C. Williams, administrator, left the meeting and arrived after my visit began and assisted. Due to time constraints, I left a handwritten visit summary. The computer-generated visit summary will be emailed to you. Currently, this center operates with a Five-Star License issued February 22, 2018, earning five (5) points in the Education Component, seven (7) points in the Program Component and one (1) Quality point. The last Annual Compliance visit at this center was completed April 30, 2024. The posted sanitation inspection was completed March 20, 2026 earning a “Superior” rating. The last fire inspection was completed May 13, 2025 and the facility was approved for daytime care only. Children were observed engaging in free choice activity center play upon their arrival around 3:15pm. Observed interactions were nurturing in nature between teachers and children. The following violations of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 205 Storage space was not available for each child's personal belongings. Several cubbies were not labeled for use. G.S. 110-91(6) 714 Openings in equipment, steps, decks, handrails, and fencing were not less than 3 1/2 inches or greater than 9 inches. There is an entrapment hazard due to the size of the spaces of the playhouse porch railing on the playground. .0605(g) 859 Monthly playground inspections were not completed and/or they were not completed by an individual trained in playground safety requirements. No playground inspections were documented thus far for 2026. .0605(q) 1061 One staff member had not completed training in playground safety. No current staff have completed playground safety training. .1102(e) 1328 Children's records were not made available for review. There was not a complete file on-site for a child enrolled on 8/12/25 and specified on the children’s records form. G.S. 110-91(9) 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 April 28, 2026. 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. 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. COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit your compliance history was 94% over an eighteen (18) month period. FACILITY PROFILE I reviewed the facility contact and owner information with you, C. Williams. You confirmed the information currently listed in the system is current and correct. CHILDREN RECORDS I monitored ten (10) percent of children’s records, and a violation was documented. While a child enrolled 8/12/25, and noted on the children records form, has a file and some forms the majority of required information TRANSPORTATION This program provides transportation for the enrolled children from school to the facility. I monitored the following mini buses: LBK6133 and LAF5124 and they were found to be in compliance. Bus FHY5347 is not currently in use. I will monitor the remainder of the vehicles during my return visit to monitor staff records including tire tread for all vehicles. PROGRM RECORDS There is no current staff on-site with playground safety training and no inspections have been completed for 2026. C. Williams stated they do a visual check of the playground when in use. A violation was documented related to playground inspections. C. Williams informed me that she and another staff member are scheduled to complete this required training course in May. OUTDOOR PLAY AREA While monitoring the playground I observed a violation related to the wooden play house. The space between the slats of the porch railing is too wide and is an entrapment hazard. We discussed ways to fix this issue without getting rid of the play house. One option is to attach lattice to the railing to cover the spaces, but you must put into place any remedy that works best for your program. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Technical assistance discussed regarding ensuring that the enrollment date is documented on the signature page that parents sign to confirm review of the discipline and shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma policies. The SBS/AHT policy only applies to families that are enrolling children ages 0-5 years of age. Ensure that wood chip surfacing is redistributed back under the slide exit frequently. It is often kicked out due to regular play by children. Handwashing posters should be posted by all sinks used by children. I also recommend that activity centers are reviewed periodically to ensure there are enough materials in the activity centers and they are available in each space. While a violation was warranted today it may warrant one if not in compliance during future visits. The Clean Water for Carolina Kids program has expanded 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. Currently operating child care facilities are required to test for asbestos and lead paint once unless the consultant notes a concern during a visit and refers the program to environmental health. The website has stated this program as “enrollment started” since last year for the required lead paint and asbestos testing. You must log into the website to ensure that you have submitted all the required information to complete testing (https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/). Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all applicable laws and rules. The best way to do so is to periodically review the child care laws and rules. The current rule book dated July 1, 2025, is available at the DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/. There are also modules reviewing the new Child Care Rules available on Moodle, which can be found on the Division website. I recommend you frequently click the “What’s New” tab to stay informed of all updates on the DCDEE website.

COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit your compliance history was 100% over an eighteen (18) month period. FACILITY PROFILE I reviewed the facility contact and owner information with you, C. Williams. You confirmed the information currently listed in the system is current and correct. CHILDREN RECORDS I monitored ten (10) percent of children’s records, and no violations were documented. STAFF RECORDS I also monitored records for the two (2) new staff hired since my last visit and ten (10) percent of current staff. The staff person hired 3/31/25 has a visit summary on file for a doctor’s appointment completed on 3/31/25. The medical report must indicate that the person is emotionally and physically fit to care for children and be signed, and/or stamped, by the health care professional. You did inform me that the staff person has contacted the doctor regarding the correct form and you are waiting to receive it. PROGRAM RECORDS A current activity plan was not posted in spaces #2 and #3. Child care rules require that a current plan be posted in each space for easy reference by staff, substitute staff, parents and visitors. While a master copy of the week’s activity plans and needed supplies are kept on a cart near the office, copies should be made and posted in each space. A shelter-in-place or lockdown drill was completed and documented on 8/29/24 and not again until 3/27/25. One (1) of these drills must be completed at least three (3) months. STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS During the visit I observed a large first aid kit on a shelf near the bathrooms by space #1. The first aid kit contained ibuprofen, protek ivy cleaner and ointment that must be either in locked storage or at least five (5) feet above the ground when not in use. Please remember that any item with “keep out of reach of children” must be kept five (5) or higher. If additional warnings are noted it should be locked storage. You removed these items and this was corrected during the visit. TRANSPORTATION This program provides transportation for the enrolled children from school to the facility. Transportation requirements were monitored and found to be in compliance with current child care rules. While monitoring the mini buses used to transport children I observed that the tire treads for one (1) tire for two (2) buses are low. I would have these tires checked by a mechanic and replaced if applicable. I will check tire tread on the next visit to ensure that it has not gone below the 2/32 of an inch requirement. ENVIRONMENTAL RATING SCALES You were reminded that the hold harmless state has been extended. Therefore, programs that were in cohorts 1 and 2 do not have to proceed with the Environmental Rating Scale assessments (ERS). ERS is voluntary at this time, and you will be notified when this changes. I encourage you to go to the North Carolina Rated License Project (NCRLAP) website for more information at: https://ncrlap.org/. There are a variety of webinars and infographics available with detailed information on the scales TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Technical assistance discussed regarding ensuring that the enrollment date is documented on the signature page that parents sign to confirm review of the discipline and shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma policies. The SBS/AHT policy only applies to families that are enrolling children ages 0-5 years of age. I recommend ensuring that the phone number for hospital preference be included on the application form. This is helpful in case of a medical emergency as it would save time from having to look for the correct hospital number. Ensure that all buses/vans have the “No Smoking” sign posted in a prominent area. While a violation was warranted today it may warrant one if not in compliance during future visits. Staff needed to comply with the playground inspection requirements must complete the playground safety training within six (6) months of hire. Ensure that appropriate staff log in to the risk management portal to review the EPR plan annually. Even if no updated are needed it must be reviewed every year.

You, S. Winters, Interim Director, were present and assisted with the visit. No children were present during the visit as the school aged children do not arrive until around 3pm. Currently, this center operates with a Five-Star license issued on February 22, 2018, earning five (5) points in the Education Component, seven (7) points in the Program Component and one (1) Quality point. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on April 30, 2024. The last sanitation inspection was completed March 8, 2024 earning a Superior rating. The last fire inspection was completed May 13, 2024 and the facility was approved for care on first shift only. The following violations of child care requirements were documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 1032 Child care providers and uncompensated providers who are not substitute providers or volunteers, including the director did not have a medical report on file prior to employment that was signed by a health care professional and/ or the medical report was older than 12 months. New staff hired 11/14/24, M. Griffin and R. Griffin, did not have a medical report on file. S. Winters has a medical report 11/21/24 and was hired 11/14/24. 10A NCAC 09 .0701(a) 1033 On or before the first day of work, all staff, including the director and individuals who volunteer more than once per week did not provide results indicating that they were free of active TB and/or TB test or screening was older than 12 months. New staff hired 11/14/24, M. Griffin and R. Griffin, did not have a TB screening or test on file. .0701(a) 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 December 10, 2024. 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 you corrected the violation. Please be aware 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. STAFF/CHILD OBSERVATIONS We discussed that a follow-up visit must be conducted when children are in care so staff and child interactions may be observed. STAFF RECORDS You informed that three (3) new staff have been hired as interim directors. You all were hired on 11/14/24. I reviewed all three records, and a violation was documented. M. Griffin and R. Griffin do not have a medical report or TB screening/test on file. These reports are required on or before the first day of employment to ensure that staff are medically cleared to perform duties related to child care. I noted due dates for staff related to CPR/FA training, BSAC, staff orientation, and the Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment (RRSCM) training. The RRSCM training must be taken on the https://preventchildabusenc.org website for the first time. The health and safety trainings are offered for free on Moodle which is found on the DCDEE website noted below. Staff will need their NCID username and password to log into Moodle. The Clean Water for Carolina Kids program expanded 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. After reviewing the website, I noted that this program has started enrollment for the lead paint and asbestos testing through RTI. Please complete the requirement as soon as possible. I also observed that this program completed the second round of lead water testing on 9/12/24 and will not need to retest until September 2027. If needed the website is as follows https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/. Licensing fee invoices will be emailed or mailed out prior to the end of the year. Ensure that your email address remains current and once received that the payment is made online, on the Division website. 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. Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all applicable laws and rules. The best way to do so is to periodically review the child care laws and rules. The current rule book dated January 1, 2024, is available at the DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/. There are also modules reviewing the new Child Care Rules available on Moodle, which can be found on the Division website. I recommend you frequently click the “What’s New” tab to stay informed of all updates on the DCDEE website. Please feel free to contact me at (984) 867-7089 or email at Felicia.faison@dhhs.nc.gov for questions and assistance. If needed my mailing address is PO Box 61161, Raleigh NC 27661.

If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000).
