Upon my arrival, I was greeted by the front office clerk, T. Edwards. Ms. Edwards stated that the administrator, E. Bradley, was present on campus, but he was in a meeting. I was unaccompanied as I completed a general walk-through of the indoor and outdoor learning environments. A total of thirty-five (35) children were present during today’s visit. The children were observed during free choice, outdoor play, and completing routine care tasks. Today’s lunch was in compliance with the Meal Pattern requirements. LICENSE STATUS: The facility is currently operating with a four-star rated license issued on August 15, 2024. REQUIRED INSPECTIONS/DRILLS: The last annual compliance visit was completed on April 15, 2025. The last annual fire inspection was completed on November 4, 2025, and last annual sanitation inspection was completed on August 28, 2025. The last documented monthly fire drill was conducted on October 27, 2025, the last documented quarterly lockdown drill or shelter-in-place drill was conducted on August 28, 2025, and the last documented monthly playground inspection was completed on November 3, 2025. During today’s visit, a partial assessment of the child care requirements was conducted. I observed all required postings and attendance logs. I monitored program requirements, equipment and furnishings, staff/child ratios & supervision, storage and/or administering of medication, the outdoor area & equipment, and transportation. I also reviewed three (3) staff files. The following violations were observed and documented during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 1041 Prior to employment a Criminal Background Check was not completed. A staff member with a hire date of August 11, 2025, did not complete a criminal background check and obtain a valid qualification letter until August 28, 2025. G.S. 110-90.2(b) 1775 NC Pre-K program staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. During today’s visit, a caregiver was left alone on the playground to supervise 18 children. The staff/child ratios for this group are 1:10. .3009 COMPLIANCE HISTORY: Prior to today’s visit, the 18-month compliance history for this facility was 94%. COMPLIANCE LETTER: All violations must be corrected immediately. A compliance letter is due to me within two (2) weeks of today’s visit. By November 19, 2025, please send me a letter addressing each violation, how the violations were corrected, and how compliance will be maintained in the future. In your letter, be sure to include your facility name, facility ID number and each item number for the violation cited. You may submit the letter to me electronically at tanya.herring@dhhs.nc.gov. If you elect to mail your letter, please ensure that you allow sufficient time so that the letter reaches me on time. My mailing address is: Tanya Herring 2201 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-2200 Due to the nature of the violation cited during today’s visit, a follow-up visit will occur in the near future to ensure ongoing compliance has been maintained. Violations regarding staff/child ratios are serious violations and may have an impact on the safety and well-being of children in your care. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE/CONSULTATION: During today’s visit, I observed a caregiver inside the classroom assisting a child with the bathroom while the other caregiver was on the playground supervising eighteen (18) children. Before the caregiver could exit onto the playground, a second child indicated the need to use the bathroom, which is typical for children within this developmental age group. Please note, the required staff/child ratio for the NC Pre-K program is 1:10. Ensuring compliance with the required staff/child ratios reduces the risk of accidents and behavioral concerns, helps protect staff and facilities from potential allegations of neglect or abuse, and allows caregivers to build meaningful relationships with children. I recommend developing a plan or implementing additional strategies to better accommodate children who may need to use the bathroom more frequently. This could include providing additional bathroom breaks before transitioning to outdoor play and/or ensuring access to additional support staff who have a valid qualification letter to assist with maintaining staff/child ratios during outdoor play or other activities where restrooms are not in proximity. ANNUAL INSPECTIONS: Please ensure that you contact your local Fire Marshal’s Office and Environmental Health at least 30 to 45 days in advance to request your annual fire inspection and sanitation inspection. It is the responsibility of each child care provider to ensure that all annual inspections are completed before the expiration date of your current inspection. As a helpful tracking method, consider adding your inspection due dates to a digital calendar or excel spreadsheet. This will serve as a reminder to reach out to the appropriate agencies well in advance, allowing sufficient time to schedule your inspection. QUALITY RATING AND IMPROVEMENT SYSTEM (QRIS): During today’s visit, we reviewed all three pathways of the Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) Modernization and completed the QRIS conversational template. You stated that you are currently undecided about which pathway you are interested in pursuing at this time. For more information regarding coaching, mentoring or additional trainings options, you may consider contacting the Sampson County Partnership for Children at 910-592-9399.
