Rated License Assessment: In order to maintain subsidy payments at the end of the temporary time period, the facility must transition to a three to five star rated license. An application for a star rated license was submitted on November 5, 2025. Once I return to the office, I will process the education and program standards and contact you for further discussion. Quality Bonus Point: The quality point will also be discussed prior to processing the new license. At this time, Mrs. Huffer is continuing to work on submitting paperwork for the COGNIA accreditation. Once that paperwork and that process are complete and accreditation paperwork is received, Mrs. Huffer will contact me to schedule a visit to complete Pathway #3 Accreditation paperwork. As a reminder, you will need to add M. Figueroa-Salinas to the ABCMS portal by the close of business on Friday, November 7, 2025.

Children throughout the facility were participating in free play in the activity areas, personal care routines, outdoor play, eating lunch and transitioning to nap/rest period. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. Seventeen (17) staff files and fourteen (14) children’s files were reviewed and found to be in compliance. Program records, including fire drills, monthly outdoor inspections were completed and current. Transportation was also monitored. Lunch today consisted of chicken and rice, pinto beans, pears and milk. The following violations were documented during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 1041 Prior to employment a Criminal Background Check was not completed. D. OlveraDominguez who began employment on 8/4/2025 did not have a criminal background check.

Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before September 24, 2025, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical assistance was offered on Criminal Background Checks. We discussed that D. OlveraDominiguez, does not have a criminal background check. That employee left the facility prior to the completion of the visit and may not return until they have a valid qualifying letter on file. I also discussed different scenarios with you in which additional school staff may need to obtain a qualifying letter to be alone with children. Those staff would include assistant principals if in charge during the principal’s absences, substitutes, therapist that are alone with children or any other school staff that would be alone with children. Technical assistance was also offered on entering current staff into the ABCMS portal routinely checking the portal to ensure that the staff roster is updated. Remember to remove any former employees once they are terminated. Add new employees as soon as they begin employment. Both of these tasks should be done within five (5) business days. Make sure that any aliases or other names are listed on the application as well. This makes it easier to find employees who may have gotten married and have not had a chance to change their last name within the system. At this time, the facility does not have any staff listed. Remember to complete the ABCMS training in moodle. You will not be able to use the system if this training has not been completed. Please keep me updated and once those changes have been made within the system, complete your compliance letter. Contact information for the Criminal Background Check Unit is (919) 814-6401.
