This facility has not completed the ABCMS portal roster. G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: Child care programs are required to maintain compliance with all applicable child care rules and regulations at all times. North Carolina General Statute 110-90(4)(d) requires all child care facilities to maintain a compliance history of at least seventy-five percent (75%) for the past eighteen (18) months or during the length of time the facility has operated, whichever is less.

Any violations cited during a visit may affect your score. • This facility has not completed the ABCMS portal roster. As discussed, all facilities are required to complete the facility roster in the ABCMS portal and have all of the staff that work at the facility linked to the facilities roster.

To maintain compliance with this child care requirement, I suggest you review all medication permission to administer forms when received from the parent and before the parent leaves the facility at the time of receiving the medication.
