Visual safe sleep check records for one infant were unable to be located during the visit. Visually checking on sleeping infants every fifteen minutes, per your facilities safe sleep policy, is critical in protecting sleeping infants from sudden infant death syndrome. I suggested that you discuss requirements for safe sleep checks as well as sudden infant death syndrome with all staff, especially all staff who work in the classroom for infants. I suggested utilizing the Caring for Our Children resource book for more information pertaining to safe sleep practices and sudden infant death syndrome. I suggested determining how safe sleep checks will be turned in to administrative staff and create a plan to review safe sleep checks prior to filing. Create a system for enhancing your filing system for safe sleep checks so that records do not become misplaced. I suggested determining how safe sleep checks will be turned in to administrative staff and create a plan to review safe sleep checks weekly and prior to filing. I suggested that safe sleep checks may be conducted more frequently, such as every ten minutes, and utilizing a timer to assist you with remembering to visually check sleeping infants. Documenting Safe Sleep Positions: Per child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .0606 SAFE SLEEP PRACTICES (a) each center licensed to care for infants aged 12 months or younger shall develop, adopt, and comply with a written safe sleep policy that: (1) specifies that caregivers shall place infants aged 12 months or younger on their backs for sleeping. I suggested reviewing with all staff your safe sleep policy and documenting the review of the safe sleep policy and place it a file and have available for review. No compliance letter is required. You submitted the compliance letter during the visit. Consultation: -Safe Environment/Supervision During Naptime: I discussed with you and your staff and documented the visit summary during the last routine unannounced visit conducted on September 24, 2025, the naptime classroom environment child care rules requirement. I discussed with you and staff during the visit today that the naptime classrooms are not allowed to be pitch dark and that lighting should be provided in the classroom to allow staff to supervise and/or offer assistance to a child if needed. I also discussed that naptime music should not be so loud that staff are unable to hear children in case assistance is needed. I reviewed with you the child care rules concerning safe environment and supervision. Child Care Rule References: 10A NCAC 09 .1801 SUPERVISION IN CHILD CARE CENTERS 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; 10A NCAC 09 .0601 SAFE ENVIRONMENT -All child care centers shall provide a safe indoor and outdoor environment for the children in care.
