The administrator/owner, Dorothy McIver, assisted me with the visit. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on July 9, 2025. The last sanitation inspection was conducted on December 19, 2025, earning a superior rating. The last fire inspection was conducted on May 29, 2025. The program compliance history was ninety-eight (98) percent as of 1/14/2026 and was reviewed with the administrator. 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. That file was reviewed and one violation was documented. The facility does not currently have any infants enrolled. Rated license requirements were reviewed to ensure compliance was maintained with current program and education components as well as the quality point. Morning snack consisted of wheat thins and milk. The following violation was cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 1897 The child care administrator and all staff did not complete the Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. L. Quick began employment on 9/4/2025 and hasn't completed the training. .1102(g) 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.

Technical assistance was also offered on offering and using the “chubby” paint brushes and pencils for the younger children. You can help ensure that infants and toddlers are developing their fine motor muscles and skills but using such materials as puzzles, crayons, paint brushes, and sorters just to name a few. Also, periodically allow the children to use “open” cups prior to making the full transition. Encourage the children by using hand over hand methods if necessary and using encouraging language. Also remain calm during spills or accidents letting the child know that it is okay and that they can keep trying. Also encourage families to use the same methods at home. During this visit we discussed the QRIS Modernization Pathways to the Stars. Mrs. McIver has decided to follow the option #2 Program Assessment for Child Care Centers and Centers Located in a Residence (CLIAR). This pathway includes the following: • Enhanced Ratio(required) and/or Enhanced Space (optional) • 50% of all Lead Teachers and 50% other educators meet 5 Star Education Standards • Family and Community Engagement Foundational Practices AND 2-4 additional choices (depending on the star rating level) • CQI Plan for Facility and Individuals • Approved curriculum and assessments (if applicable to the star rating level), and coaching/training options for administrators and lead teachers (if applicable to the star rating level). • Mrs. McIver and her staff will also begin working on the self-assessment study and develop goals to work towards. Mrs. McIver will also work on the CQI plan for both the center and staff and documenting family and community engagement standard practices that the facility already practice. Both she and the staff were given information and website links to the QRIS modernization page as well as NCRLAP to further assist with this current process.
