The annual compliance monitoring checklist for child care centers was used to note requirements monitored today. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by the school counselor, S. Walzak. Ms. Walzak stated that the administrator, W. Poper, was present on campus. Ms. Poper accompanied me to the cafeteria where the children were having lunch. A total of thirty-two (32) children were present during today’s visit. I was unaccompanied as I conducted a general walk-through of the two (2) classrooms and the outdoor play area. Today’s lunch was in compliance with the Meal Pattern requirements. LICENSE STATUS: The facility currently operates with a five star-rated license issued May 19, 2023, earning seven (7) points in the education component, seven (7) points in the program standards component, and one (1) quality point for meeting the programmatic option of having a staff benefits package and an infrastructure of parent involvement. REQUIRED INSPECTIONS/DRILLS: The last annual compliance visit was completed May 1, 2025. The last annual fire inspection was completed on August 25, 2025, and the last annual sanitation inspection was completed on February 18, 2026, and received a “Superior” classification with eleven (11) demerits. The last documented monthly fire drill was conducted on March 31, 2026, the last documented quarterly lockdown drill and/or shelter-in-place drill was conducted on January 14, 2026, and the last documented monthly playground inspection was completed on April 1, 2026. During today’s visit, a full 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 the staff files, and a sample of the children’s records. Monitoring of the NC PreK program also occurred today, and the facility is in compliance with the requirements outlined in section .3000 of the Child Care Rules. Any items not in compliance are listed in the violations section below. The following violations were observed and documented during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 812 Electrical outlets and power strips, not in use, which were located in space used by children did not have safety outlets or were not covered with safety plugs unless located behind furniture or equipment that cannot be moved by a child. An electrical outlet accessible to children was not covered. 10A NCAC 09 .0604(c) 840 All corrosive agents, pesticides, bleaches, detergents, cleansers, polishes, any product which is under pressure in an aerosol dispenser, and any substance which may be hazardous to a child if ingested, inhaled, or handled were not stored in a locked room or cabinet. An aerosol can of disinfectant spray was stored on the shelf in the bathroom used by the children. .2820(b) 1757 A valid qualification letter was not on file and available to review at the facility. The qualification letter for a private duty nurse, employed by an outside agency and is left alone with a child, was not available for review at the facility. G.S. 110-90.2(b) & (d) & .2703(e) 1775 NC Pre-K program staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. During today’s visit, one caregiver was responsible for a group of seventeen (17) children, ages 4-5 years old. The staff/child ratio for this group is 1:10. .3009 Prior to today’s visit, the 18-month compliance history for this facility was 95%. COMPLIANCE LETTER: All violations must be corrected immediately. Please send me a compliance letter (written statement) describing how and when the above violations were corrected. The compliance letter must be received no later than May 5, 2026. The compliance letter should be sent to me via email, from the email address on file with the Division as the center’s official email address. Contact me if you have questions regarding correction of the violations documented during today’s visit. If you are unable to correct all violations within the specified timeframe, send a compliance letter regarding violations that were corrected and a specific plan to correct the remaining violations. An extension will need to be requested from management. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE/CONSULTATION: During today’s visit, Ms. Poper stated that a substitute was serving in Space 2 due to the assigned teacher being out sick. The substitute, later identified as Marilynn Graham, was observed wearing hospital scrubs with the letters “RN” embroidered on the uniform, along with a badge displaying a company name rather than the district. Ms. Graham, who was counted toward staff/child ratios, appeared to be primarily focused on one child within a group of seventeen (17) children. I accompanied the group from the cafeteria back to the classrooms designated for NC Pre-K and requested staff files for monitoring. I asked Ms. Faison if the substitute teacher was a nurse employed by Sampson County Schools. Ms. Faison responded, “yes.” At that time, Ms. Graham stated, “I do not know what she is talking about…I am not employed with Sampson County Schools.” Ms. Graham presented her badge, which indicated she was employed by Avid Health at Home Cumberland, and explained that she is a Registered Nurse assigned to work with a specific child in the classroom. Following this clarification, I asked Ms. Faison to provide Ms. Graham’s staff file. Ms. Faison stated that a file for Ms. Graham was not available in the classroom and advised that I request the information from Ms. Poper. I then asked Ms. Poper whether Ms. Graham was aware that she was serving as a substitute teacher that day and relayed my conversation with Ms. Graham regarding her role and employment status. Ms. Poper stated that Ms. Graham is a contract employee with Sampson County Schools and was being utilized in the capacity of a substitute teacher. I requested Ms. Graham’s employee file, including her Criminal Background Check qualification letter, Emergency Information form, Health Questionnaire, Tuberculin (TB) test documentation, verification of age, and documentation of the Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan. Ms. Poper stated that she had Ms. Graham’s qualification letter, but that the remaining documents were stored in the classroom. I explained that I had already requested these documents during classroom monitoring but had been unable to locate them. Ms. Poper retrieved a folder from her desk and reviewed its contents to locate the requested documentation. She was unable to locate the qualification letter in the folder or on her computer, so she contacted Ms. Faison and asked Ms. Graham to log into her [ABCMS] account to retrieve a copy. As I continued reviewing staff files, Ms. Poper stated that she obtained a copy of the qualification letter from Ms. Graham. She was also able to locate the Emergency Information form, Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma form, and documentation indicating that the Emergency Care Plan and Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan had been reviewed with Ms. Graham. Ms. Poper stated that health records are maintained at the county office; however, she indicated that she had the offsite records form available. I explained to Ms. Poper that the offsite records form must be updated annually to include all new employees working with NC Pre-K children. Please be aware that any verbal and/or written information submitted by you during the visit is legal documentation. Therefore, it is important that all information submitted be accurate and truthful. Please be aware that if it is determined information submitted was inaccurate or willfully falsified, an Administrative Action, including Revocation of the facility's license could be issued. ABCMS PROVIDER PORTAL: Initial information was sent in October/November 2024 and was also shared in the Raise NC newsletter. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. The information should be updated in ABCMS on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. Should you need assistance contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-4401 and someone will assist you. AUXILIARY SPACES: As previously stated, when NC Pre-K children utilize additional areas such as cafeterias, libraries, and gyms as extended learning environments, it is essential that teachers conduct a thorough safety review of these spaces. This review must include checking for potential hazards, such as uncovered electrical outlets, improperly stored hazardous materials, and any other safety concerns that could pose a risk to young children. RATED LICENSE ASSESSMENT: Pathway 2: Classroom & Instructional Quality Pathway: A rated license assessment was completed to assess this facility under the Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) requirements using Pathway 2: Classroom and Instructional Pathway. A new rated license will be assessed based on the following: Education Standards: Following the review of DCDEE WORKS, it has been determined that the staff members, K. Walton and S. Johnson, have created an account but have not submitted their education documents and/or transcripts to be evaluated in WORKS to proceed with the rated license assessment. The facility meets North Carolina Pre-K staff/child ratios requirements, which are more stringent than the enhanced reduced staff/ratios that will be listed as a restriction on their permit. The facility has elected to complete the Environmental Rating Scales (ERS) during the Fall 2026–2027 school year. Family and Community Engagement Standards: The operator meets all required foundational practices and at least four (4) additional family and community engagement options in each category. Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI): The administrator has completed the approved CQI Plan for the facility. However, Ms. Poper stated that she and her staff members are required to submit their professional development plans in the North Carolina Educator Effectiveness System (NCEES), a DPI approved system. Ms. Poper stated that she will ensure this information is updated on the required CQI form and submitted for review. Approved Curriculum & Formative Assessment: The program implements The Creative Curriculum and Teaching Strategies Gold (TSG) formative assessment for all ages served, with assessment results shared with families twice annually, meeting the five-star standards. Coaching/Mentoring Option: The administrator and two (2) lead teachers met this requirement with the completion of five (5) hours annually of coaching and mentoring from Sampson County Partnership for Children. During today’s visit, I explained to Ms. Poper that once all staff members’ education has been evaluated in WORKS, your program may be eligible for a star-rated license, pending approval. Please note that any complaints or Administrative Actions may have an impact on your star-rated license. Thank you for your time today. If you have any questions, please contact me at tanya.herring@dhhs.nc.gov or at 910-624-4171. You may also contact Licensing Supervisor, Teraesa Leak at teraesa.leak@dhhs.nc.gov or by phone at 919-971-7765.

Becky Jackson, Lead Licensing Consultant accompanied me during today’s visit. The annual compliance monitoring checklist for Child Care Centers was used to note requirements monitored today. Upon our arrival, we checked in at the front office and were greeted by the Administrator, Whitney Poper. Ms. Poper accompanied us to the classrooms. Then, we were unaccompanied as we completed a general walk through of the facility which consisted of two (2) classrooms and the outdoor learning environment. NC Prek requirements were also monitored during today’s visit. During the visit, the administrator requested we review a secondary outdoor learning environment for an approved space. The children were observed participating in free choice play and preparing for lunch. Today’s meal was in compliance with the Meal Pattern requirements. LICENSE STATUS: This Department of Instructional Program (DPI) currently operates with a five (5) star rated license issued on May 19, 2023. ANNUAL INSPECTIONS STATUS: The last annual fire inspection was conducted on February 13, 2023. The last annual sanitation inspection was completed on January 31, 2024. The last monthly playground inspection was completed on August 26, 2024. You stated you have not conducted a fire drill this month since school has only been in session for a week and you were waiting for the NC PreK children to begin school. You stated you plan to conduct a fire drill this week. During today’s visit, a full assessment of Child Care Requirements was conducted. I observed all required postings, attendance logs, and NC PreK requirements. I reviewed all the staff’s files, a sample of the children’s records, and all applicable program records. The following violations were documented during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 106 Operator has not scheduled and obtained a fire inspection within 12 months of the previous inspection. Operator did not submit the original approved report to DCDEE within one week of the inspection visit on a form provided by the Division. The most recent annual fire inspection was completed on February 13, 2023. 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) COMPLIANCE HISTORY: Prior to today’s visit, the 18-month compliance history for this facility was 91% COMPLIANCE LETTER: All violations must be corrected immediately. A compliance letter is due to me within two (2) weeks of today’s visit. By September 10, 2024, 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 via email at tanya.herring@dhhs.nc.gov. OUTDOOR LEARNING ENVIRONMENT: During today’s visit, you requested we review an additional playground for approval. We monitored the secondary playground for applicable child care requirements. The secondary playground will need modifications completed before we can review it again for approval. The required modifications are listed below: • The outdoor learning environment must be protected by a fence that is a minimum of four (4) feet. The secondary playground fence measured three and half (3 ½) feet. We discussed raising the protrusion up to the top of bars on the fence as an option or installing corrugated piping on the top of the fence as a second option. • When using sand for surfacing material for equipment with a critical height of more than five (5) feet, it must be at least twelve (12) inches, and the surfacing must be free of grass, trees, and debris. • All borders must be in good repair and free of tripping hazards. • Swings must have surfacing material that extends two (2) times the length of the pivot point to the surface below. The red swing set measured eight feet from the pivot point to the surface below. Therefore, the swing must be sixteen (16) feet in both the front and rear to meet the child care requirements. The surfacing material in the rear measured eleven (11) feet. You must also replace all “S” hooks on all the swings with a closed chain-to-chain link hook if accessible to children. • Children are not allowed to play on equipment that is hot to touch. The monkey bars were hot to touch. We discussed applying a special coating to the monkey bars to prevent the equipment from being hot to touch if accessible to children. • The manufacturing instructions will need to be obtained and reviewed to determine if the equipment and structures are age and developmentally appropriate for preschool students ages four (4). Review child care rules section .0605 about outdoor learning environments in Child Care centers to gain a clear understanding of the rules prior to making the necessary required modifications to ensure that the outdoor learning environment meets all the child care requirements. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE/CONSULTATION: I reviewed and explained that each operator must schedule a sanitation and fire inspection within twelve (12) months of the center’s previous inspection. Please be reminded to contact your Environmental Health Specialist and your local Fire Marshall within 30 days of the due date to request an inspection be completed prior to the expiration date of the last inspection. You must submit the annual sanitation and fire inspections to me within one week of the inspection on the state required form provided by the Division. As a reminder, please complete a daily classroom check to ensure it is safe before the children access the space. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to check all electrical outlets and power strips not in use for missing outlet covers, the classroom and bathroom for hazardous cleaning chemicals, or any aerosol cans of air fresheners or disinfectant sprays not locked in a storage closet that might have been left accessible to children from when the custodian cleaned your room the previous afternoon. During the visit, you asked how long you must keep a record for children that are no longer in your program. I explained all children’s records must be kept on file as long as the child is enrolled and for one (1) year from the date the child is no longer enrolled. I also explained that monthly playground inspections must be kept on file for one (1) year. Review and follow child care rules section.2318 on child care center record retention. This section will provide guidance on how long you should maintain records for review by the Division of Child Development and Early Education upon request. Thank you for your time today. If you have any questions, please contact me at 910-624-4171 or tanya.herring@dhhs.nc.gov. You may also contact Becky Jackson at becky.jackson@dhhs.nc.gov or at 910-824-0123.

Upon my arrival, I was greeted by the front office staff and escorted to the two (2) Pre-K classrooms. LICENSE STATUS: Currently, this center operates with a 5-star rated license issued on May 19, 2023. I completed a general walk-through of the indoor and outdoor environments. A partial assessment of the child care requirements was conducted. The monitoring included supervision, capacity, staff/ child ratios, storage of hazardous products and medication, approved space, and program records. No children’s or staff records were monitored during today’s visit. A total of thirty-four (34) children were present during today’s visit between the two (2) spaces.

Failure to submit the letter by this date will result in a return visit and the violation re-cited. As a result of the violation cited during today’s visit, a return visit will occur in the near future to ensure that ongoing compliance is maintained regarding approved space. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE/CONSULTATION: During today’s visit, the children were observed playing on the playground designated for kindergarteners. The Lead Teacher, Ms. McPhail, stated that the children were using the playground due to the number of baby rabbits on the playground designated for the preschoolers. Ms. McPhail stated that she was advised by Administration to use an alternative playground for the day to ensure that the baby rabbits were not harmed, but that the preschoolers would return to their designated playground following routine checks of the playground. You went on to explain, that during this time of year, the playground designated for kindergartners is used for transitioning purposes so that the children can prepare for the upcoming school year As discussed during your 9/21/23 annual compliance follow up visit, the children may only use spaces, both indoors and outdoors, that have been approved by the Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE). Currently, only the two mobile units, the fenced area just outside the mobile units, and the open grassy area located outside of the fenced are approved spaces for use. The gym and cafeteria are also approved and may be used as auxiliary spaces. If you are interested in having other spaces approved, please contact me so that I may schedule a visit.

You could also find any needed Child Care forms by going on the web site and clicking on the "Provider" tab and then clicking on the "Provider Documents" tab. During today’s visit the staff, both in the classrooms and in the office, were unable to locate the staff files. Therefore, I was unable to monitor them as part of this annual compliance monitoring, and will need to return in order to monitor these files. In preparation for that visit I will send you a staff and training worksheet and ask that you return it to me as soon as possible. I am reminding you that staff files must be made available during any monitoring visit conducted by DCDEE representatives where they are requested. I am encouraging you to keep them where they are easily accessible when the principal is not on campus, or that additional staff are aware of where they are kept and have access to them. During today’s visit there seemed to be some confusion among staff as to the approved outdoor play area. Therefore, I am offering technical assistance in regards to the use of approved space. As discussed during the annual compliance visit, the children may only use spaces, indoors and outdoors, that have been approved by the division. Currently, only the two mobile units, the fenced area just outside the mobile units, and the open grassy area just outside this fenced area are approved as primary spaces. The gym and cafeteria are approved as auxiliary spaces. If you are interested in having other spaces or outdoor play areas approved, please contact me. If not, they are not to be used by children enrolled in this program. I am also offering technical assistance regarding supervision. The definition of supervision is: 10A NCAC 09 .1801 SUPERVISION IN CHILD CARE CENTERS (a) Children shall be adequately supervised at all times in child care centers. Adequate supervision shall mean that: (1) staff must be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize their ability to hear or see the children at all times and render assistance; (2) staff must interact with the children while moving about the indoor or outdoor area; (3) staff must know where each child is located and be aware of the children's activities at all times; (4) staff must provide supervision appropriate to the individual age, needs, and capabilities of each child; and (5) staff must be able to see and hear children aged birth to five years old while the children are eating. Therefore, staff should be moving about the outdoor areas while the children are playing rather than sitting at tables or in chairs. Please contact me at (910) 824-0123 or at becky.j.williams@dhhs.nc.gov if I can be of assistance. My mailing address is PO Box 2186, Clinton, NC 28329.

I recommended that you visit the Division of Child Development's website (www.ncchildcare.nc.gov) on a regular basis to find out what's new in childcare. You could also find any needed Child Care forms by going on the web site and clicking on the "Provider" tab and then clicking on the "Provider Documents" tab. During today’s visit the staff, both in the classrooms and in the office, were unable to locate the staff files. Therefore, I was unable to monitor them as part of this annual compliance monitoring, and will need to return in order to monitor these files. In preparation for that visit I will send you a staff and training worksheet and ask that you return it to me as soon as possible. I am reminding you that staff files must be made available during any monitoring visit conducted by DCDEE representatives where they are requested. I am encouraging you to keep them where they are easily accessible when the principal is not on campus, or that additional staff are aware of where they are kept and have access to them. During today’s visit there seemed to be some confusion among staff as to the approved outdoor play area. Therefore, I am offering technical assistance in regards to the use of approved space. As discussed during the annual compliance visit, the children may only use spaces, indoors and outdoors, that have been approved by the division. Currently, only the two mobile units, the fenced area just outside the mobile units, and the open grassy area just outside this fenced area are approved as primary spaces. The gym and cafeteria are approved as auxiliary spaces. If you are interested in having other spaces or outdoor play areas approved, please contact me. If not, they are not to be used by children enrolled in this program. I am also offering technical assistance regarding supervision. The definition of supervision is: 10A NCAC 09 .1801 SUPERVISION IN CHILD CARE CENTERS (a) Children shall be adequately supervised at all times in child care centers. Adequate supervision shall mean that: (1) staff must be positioned in the indoor and outdoor environment to maximize their ability to hear or see the children at all times and render assistance; (2) staff must interact with the children while moving about the indoor or outdoor area; (3) staff must know where each child is located and be aware of the children's activities at all times; (4) staff must provide supervision appropriate to the individual age, needs, and capabilities of each child; and (5) staff must be able to see and hear children aged birth to five years old while the children are eating. Therefore, staff should be moving about the outdoor areas while the children are playing rather than sitting at tables or in chairs. Please contact me at (910) 824-0123 or at becky.j.williams@dhhs.nc.gov if I can be of assistance. My mailing address is PO Box 2186, Clinton, NC 28329. 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).

We discussed that the Principal/Administrator, Whitney Poper, does not have current Criminal Background Qualification. When asked, you stated you understood it had to be obtained, but did not understand it had to be obtained before becoming the administrator for this NC Pre-K program. You began the process during today’s visit. I notified you that you could not be on the premises until qualification has been received. You left during today’s visit. I reminded you that you may not return until qualification has been obtained. We also discussed that one group was using unapproved space. You stated that the air conditioning for their mobile unit is broken, therefore they have been using the adjacent mobile unit for parts of the day. You stated the unit had been repaired, would work for a little while, then would break again. You stated that a compressor for the unit had been ordered, and you understood when you left the facility yesterday that it had arrived and would be fixed before the children arrived today. You stated the upper grades were involved in beginning of grade testing today, therefore you had not checked with the group today. You stated you were unaware the unit had not been repaired. We discussed that children may not use unapproved space. We discussed the use of auxiliary spaces and combining groups. We also discussed that you are the new Administrator for this program. A Preservice for Administrators form was received today. We also discussed that the email address needed to be updated. I asked that you ensure your information is submitted in the WORKS system to determine if the change will have an impact on the Star Rated License during reassessment. The NC Pre-K requirements in section .3000 of the child care rules were monitored for compliance. The NC Pre-K Program Site Monitoring Tool was observed today. The current NC Pre-K staff are the same staff as indicated in the NC Pre-K Plan System. I verified during today's visit that you continue to use the 5th Ed of the Creative Curriculum.

The classroom operates from 8:00am to 2:30 pm. During the visit, I observed the log used to record contact with parents of children who have been absent more than three days. Family involvement activities were described as various breakfast with parents and grandparents throughout the year, a field day, progress report pick up, and the availability for the parents to assist in the classroom if they desire. The ERS score received in December 2018 was 5.03. All other NC Pre-K requirements were determined to be in compliance at the time of the visit. The hold harmless state of Rated License Assessments has been extended, however you may request to have your rated license reassessed at any time. Therefore, it is imperative that you and your staff ensure all education information is updated in the WORKS database. I also encouraged you to begin conducting mock ERS assessments if you plan to request them for the Rated License Assessment. I asked that you notify me if you are interested in completing the reassessment. We also discussed that the Governor lifted the State of Emergency related to COVID on August 15, 2022. With the lifting of the State of Emergency COVID signage is no longer required. You may take down the Health and Safety certificate issued at the beginning of the pandemic, as well as any other door signage related to COVID.
