Once in the classroom, I was assisted by the lead teachers, A. Bailey, S. Forsythe and P. Gaskins. LICENSE STATUS: Currently, this child care center operates with a 5- star rated license issued August 22, 2023. A total of forty one (41) children were present during today’s visit. Children were observed in circle time activities, routine activities and eating lunch. For lunch the children had fish, fries, cornbread, bananas and milk. During today’s visit, a partial assessment of the Child Care Requirements was conducted. I observed all required postings and attendance logs. I completed a review of all required postings and program records. REQUIRED INSPECTIONS: The last annual compliance visit was completed on 05/17/24. The last documented fire inspection was conducted on 1/9/24. The last documented fire drill was conducted on 8/27/24. Violation Number Comment Rule 115 A summary of the NC Child Care Law was not posted in a prominent place in the center. The NC Summary of Child Care Law was not posted in space 2119. G.S. 110-102 1755 Certified developmental day center staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. There were sixteen (16), four year old children with two caregivers. .2902 (f) Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy environment; therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing rules and requirements that apply to your program. Please visit the Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) website periodically for updates and What’s new in Childcare to get updates and current information about child care. Prior to today’s visit you informed me that you had a new playground. During today’s visit, I monitored the new playground for compliance with child care requirements. The new playground has a large composite play structure, but it is not in the fenced area. There is an area that is fenced and I suggested that you block the ramp that leads back to the building since that could produce a supervision issue and take your portable toys to that playground for the children to play. I also visited the old playground today. There are holes on the playground, which could potentially produce a tripping hazard, but other than the holes I didn’t see any other hazards. CONTACT INFORMATION: For questions regarding today’s visit, please contact me at 919-819-9302 or paula.davis@dhhs.nc.gov. 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).
