License restrictions include first shift, daytime care only, ages 2-12, only children 2 ½ and older in care, only children 5-12 may use the large climbing structure, and meets enhanced space.

The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on November 17, 2025, and Jonesboro Day Care Center, Inc. was listed as current- active. The license was posted, and the restrictions were in compliance. A walk-through of the facility was completed today and all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in the indoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were participating in teacher directed activities, free play in activity areas, personal care routines such as handwashing and toileting, transitions and outdoor play. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. One new employee has been employed since my last visit.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance was also offered on encouraging children to find other interest areas or materials to interact in or with when they are waiting to use materials that other children are playing with or using. By encouraging children to find other options or make other choices while waiting, we can help keep them actively engaged and also use that time to develop interest in areas or activities that they would not normally have. It can also reduce the potential for conflict between the child using the materials or interest area and the child who is waiting for their turn. Technical assistance was also offered on preparing activity plans at least two weeks in advance. When activity plans are completed at least two weeks in advance, it gives the staff plenty of time to prepare and make changes if necessary. It also gives the administrator time to review the activity plans and make suggestions or purchase additional materials if needed.

Name of Operation: JONESBORO DAY CARE Facility ID: 5350976 Consultant: TURKESHIA MCCORMICK Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 1/16/2025 Number Present: 16 Completed Date: 1/16/2025 Age: From 2 To 4 Total Minutes: 90 Time In: 09:15 AM Time Out: 10:45 AM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Routine Unannounced Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s visit was to monitor your program for compliance with applicable child care requirements for a routine unannounced visit. The facility operated with a Three-Star License, issued October 25, 2017, earning four points in the education component, two points in the program component and one quality point for complying with the education option. License restrictions include first shift, daytime care only, ages 2-12, only children 2 ½ and older in care, only children 5-12 may use the large climbing structure, and meets enhanced space. The administrator, Crystal Weldon, assisted me with the visit. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on July 9, 2024. The last sanitation inspection was conducted on December 12, 2024 earning a superior rating. The last fire inspection was conducted on November 21, 2024. The months for the fire inspection and annual compliance were updated in Regulatory during the visit. The program compliance history was ninety-two (92) percent as of 1/15/2025 and was reviewed with the administrator. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on January 16, 2025 and Jonesboro Day Care Center, Inc. was listed as current- active. The license was posted, and the restrictions were in compliance. Rated license requirements were reviewed to ensure compliance was maintained with current program and education components as well as the quality point. A walk-through of the facility was completed today, all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in both the indoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were participating in group time, free play in activity areas, transitions and personal care routines. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. There have been no new staff since my last visit. Morning snack consisted of cheese toast, sliced strawberries and milk. The following violations were observed during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference. An activity plan dated 1/6/2025-1/10/2025 was posted in the space used by the older preschoolers,. GS 110-91(12); .0508(a) 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 acrylic cleaner was on a shelf in the space used by the preschoolers. .2820(b) Because the violations cited were corrected during the visit, a compliance letter is not required at this time. Child Care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. Technical assistance was offered in incorporating a fall/winter and spring/summer daily schedule. This would allow for the outdoor times to be adjusted according to both the warmer and cooler seasons. When the weather does not permit an outdoor time in the early mornings due to the cooler seasons, a schedule with a later outdoor time would be a good idea. The same with the warmer months. On the days that it gets hotter as the day goes by, it would be a good idea for the daily schedule to allow a later outdoor time. Also, remember when an outdoor play period is not feasible due to inclement weather, active precipitation or weather advisory, allow the children to participate in some sort of indoor gross motor activities. You can search for these ideas on sites such as Google or Pinterest. Technical assistance was also provided on working with children on conflict resolution and providing reasoning and thinking skills to work through interactions with other children. Have conversations with children on why certain behaviors may result in taking time away from certain activities. By giving them other options and opportunities with other activities you may reduce the chance of certain activities taking place. Once children begin to exhibit a disinterest in an activity that may be the time to redirect and offer them other activities to participate in. Teacher directed activities are allowed but be sure to allow the children more opportunities to express individuality in their own activities For the latest information on child care rules and regulations, please visit the Division of Child Development and Early Education's website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was printed, reviewed, and a copy was left with Crystal Weldon.

License restrictions include first shift, daytime care only, ages 2-12, only children 2 ½ and older in care, only children 5-12 may use the large climbing structure, and meets enhanced space.

The last sanitation inspection was conducted on July 20, 2023 earning a superior rating. The last fire inspection was conducted on December 7, 2023. The program compliance history was one hundred (100) percent as of 2/22/2024 and was reviewed with the administrator.

A walk-through of the facility was completed today, all indoor areas were monitored. Due to active precipitation, I was not able to monitor the outdoor play areas. I observed children in the indoor learning environments and found supervision and staff/child ratios to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were participating in group time, free play in activity areas, transitions and personal care routines. The program does not have infants enrolled. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. There have been no new employees since my last visit. Lunch today consisted of baked chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, green beans, white bread slices and milk. The following violation was documented during today's visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children.

Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before March 8, 2024, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected.

If you email the compliance letter, it must be sent from the email address registered with the DCDEE (this serves as your signature) and the following information must be included: name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance was offered on periodically observing the children in the preschool space and documenting those observations. By observing children in the regular learning environment, we can learn how they adapt to changes in the classroom, what may trigger certain behaviors, what are their interests, likes and dislikes. We can also use those observations to incorporate changes if needed in the classroom schedule. Ask families questions such as how was their night, what did they eat or drink for breakfast, how was their trip to school. By asking these types of questions you can gather more information about what they child may have experienced or felt prior to coming into the classroom. This may also help to explain certain behaviors later in the day. Technical assistance was also offered on using verbal prompts for transitions such as “in 5 minutes we are going to clean up” or “1,2,3 eyes on me” and also using other cues such as clapping in patterns or turning the lights off to gain the children’s attention for the next activity. Technical assistance was also provided on working with children on conflict resolution and providing reasoning and thinking skills to work through interactions with other children. Have conversations with children on why certain behaviors may result in taking time away from certain activities. By giving them other options and opportunities with other activities you may reduce the chance of certain activities taking place. Once children begin to exhibit a disinterest in an activity that may be the time to redirect and offer them other activities to participate in. Teacher directed activities are allowed but be sure to allow the children more opportunities to express individuality in their own activities We discussed requesting Environment Rating Scale (ERS) assessments in an effort to maintain the program's star rating. Resources such as Child Care Resource and Referral and Smart Start can be valuable when preparing for the ERS. “All about ECERS-R” and the NCRLAP website (www.ncrlap.org) can also be helpful as staff prepare for the ERS. On the NCRLAP website, there are training videos, sample questions and clarifying information regarding the assessments you may find helpful.
