This program currently operates with a temporary license effective May 9, 2025 to November 9, 2025. Applicable childcare requirements were discussed with you, Teresa Wright, Administrator. The last sanitation inspection was conducted on May 2, 2025. The last approved fire inspection was conducted on May 5, 2025. During the visit, children were observed playing outside and resting during nap time. Adequate supervision was maintained, and appropriate interactions were observed between children and staff. All indoor and outdoor areas approved for child care were monitored. For lunch the children were served green beans, chicken patties, a bun, tator tots, and milk. The following were also monitored during today’s visit: supervision; staff/child ratios; CPR/FA; SIDS; criminal records check; storage of hazardous products; adequate/approved space; posted license and permit restrictions. All current staff files were monitored on June 17, 2025 and August 7, 2025. There were no new staff so, staff files were not monitored. All center program records were also monitored. It is the center’s responsibility to review all files for completeness. Overall attendance and enrollment were collected today. The attached space, capacity and enrollment worksheet reflects the enrollment and attendance information along with the staff that were present and caring for children today. According to you, there has been no change to you contact information. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with you, and you were given a computerized copy for your records. Violation Number Comment Rule 1812 The center did not complete an EPR Plan within four months of completing the EPR in Child Care training and/or the Plan was not completed on a template provided by the Division. This was not completed within the required timeframe. .0607(c) The one (1) violation cited during the visit must be corrected immediately. I must receive a signed and dated letter of compliance from you no later than October 16, 2025, stating that all violations have been corrected. You can email your compliance letter to: leisa.benson@dhhs.nc.gov. If you cannot meet the requirements by the above date, you must contact me with a purposed timeline of the corrections. In some cases, this timeline may be extended. If I don’t receive your compliance letter or you haven’t contacted me by October 16, 2025, a Follow-up Visit could be conducted and violations cited. If you state in the compliance letter that corrections have been made when they have not, this will be considered falsification of information. You are required to always maintain compliance with all applicable child care rules and regulations. NC GS 110-90(4)(d) requires all child care facilities to maintain a compliance history score of at least 75% for the past eighteen (18) months or during the length of time the facility has operated, whichever is less. Failure to do so may result in the issuance of a provisional license or other administrative action. Violations cited during this visit may negatively affect your compliance score. As of today, your compliance history is 96%. Your compliance history was reviewed with you, and you were also given a copy to keep for your records. Keep in mind that I can’t process your rated license application until the above violation has been corrected. Rated License: I discussed with you that you could proceed with the previous rated license assessment since I received your application on June 17, 2025. However, after reviewing the pathway options with you, you stated that you may also consider going with Pathway 1. I discussed with you that all required information for Pathway 1 must be completed no later than October 16, 2025, to ensure that your rated license application is completed before your temporary license expires on November 9, 2025. Your Temporary License can’t be extended. For additional information A new Pathways to the Stars Rules Roll Out module is now available on the DCDEE Moodle digital learning platform. During the visit I demonstrated how to access QRIS information and how to access the Application for Assessment for a Rated License for Center. This is where you will access the forms that are required for Pathway 1. To access the links on the application you can visit: the DCDEE website at: www.ncchildcare.nc.gov and click on the provider tab and then scroll down and click on the provider documents and forms and then click on the Application for Assessment for a Rated License for Centers. Questions about QRIS Modernization (Reform) may be sent to DCDEE_QRIS@dhhs.nc.gov. I also discussed with you that all staff information should be evaluated by DCDEE WORKS Unit no later than October 16, 2025. I will process staff education using what is on file at that time. Keep in mind that 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. The ECERS-R Assessment Report was discussed with you and emphasis was placed on the following items that could be possible violations of child care requirements: ECERS-3 Assessment Report average score: 5.24 Item #6—Score: 4 points Indicator: 5.3: Outdoors, the mulch around the climbers and slides measured between 4-5 inches deep, rather than at least 6 inches as required. Also, the green standalone slide was placed 3 feet 4 inches from the containment border rather than 6 feet. The smaller beige climber with slides was placed 4 feet 3 inches from the containment border. They don’t have stationary equipment so they are not required to have a resilient surface or fall zone. However, I discussed best practices with you to ensure that the playground remains safe for children at all times. ITERS-3 Assessment Report average score: 5.16 Item #6—Score: 4 points Indicator: 5.2: All three children present wore diapers. The observed increments of time during which a diaper check or change did not occur for these children were 2 hours 44 minutes, 2 hours 25 minutes, and 2 hours 9 minutes. According to you the assessor arrived after staff had changed and checked diapers. You stated that staff check children’s diapers regularly and change them as needed. Item #8—Score: 4 points Indicator: 5.1: There were instances when children were picked up by their upper arms, which puts them at risk for joint injuries. In addition, the diaper changing pad was sprayed with disinfectant as a child stood next to the diapering table and while a child stood at the sink. The mist from the disinfectant is a potential eye/lung irritant for children. You stated that you discussed the above information with staff and discussed the correct procedures. During the visit, I discussed with you the importance of ensuring that children are not in close proximity when disinfecting the diaper changing table. I also provided guidance on safe practices for lifting children, emphasizing that children should not be picked up by their arms. Outdoors, the mulch at the exit of the single slide measured 4 inches deep, rather than 6 inches. At the exit of the blue slide on the largest climber, the mulch measured 4.5 inches deep. They don’t have stationary equipment so they are not required to have a resilient surface or fall zone. However, I discussed best practices with you to ensure that the playground remains safe for children at all times. Item #24—Score: 4 points Indicator: 5.3: Refer to Item #8. Item #31—Score 2 points Indicator: 3.1: Refer to Item #6 SACERS-U Assessment Report Item #2—Score 3 points Indicator: 5.1: The teacher reported that children do not play outside when the group states that they do not want to go outdoors. Therefore, children may not play outdoors each day for at least 20 minutes when the weather allows, as required for programs operating less than 3 hours. The administrator stated that staff take children outside weather permitting for at least 30 minutes each day, and sometimes up to an hour. She explained that staff were nervous so they were confused by the question. I also reviewed their daily schedule and confirmed that outdoor play is on the schedule for thirty (30) minutes in the morning and afternoon when children are present. Item #8—Score 4 points Indicator: 5.1 Children should be able to use stationary gross motor equipment that encourages at least three skills for at least 20 minutes each day for a program that operates less than 3 hours. There was a basketball goal, soccer goals, pickleball net, climber with slides, and a standalone slide provided outdoors, which encouraged enough skills for all of the children. However, as previously mentioned, the teacher reported that children do not play outdoors when the group states that they do not want to go outdoors and no stationary equipment was reported or observed for children to use indoors. Since children cannot use a variety of stationary gross motor equipment for at least 20 minutes daily, credit was not earned. As stated above in Item #2 children do go outside weather permitting at least for thirty (30) minutes a day. During the visit I observed gross motor toys indoors and they are available to the children when they can’t go outside due to the weather. Item #14—Score 2 Indicator: 3.1: Outdoors, the mulch around the climbers and slides measured between 4-5 inches deep, rather than at least 6 inches as required. Also, the standalone slide was positioned 3 feet 4 inches from the containment border rather than 6 feet. The smaller climber with slides was positioned 4 feet 3 inches from the containment border. As stated they don’t have stationary equipment so they are not required to have a resilient surface or fall zone. However, I discussed best practices with you to ensure that the playground remains safe for children at all times. Item #17—Score 2 points Indicator: 3.5: After snack the tables were cleaned with soapy water; however, a sanitizing solution was not applied. According to the administrator, she has discussed with staff the correct procedure for sanitizing tables after eating. During the visit I observed teachers clean the tables and then spray sanitizer on them before children ate afternoon snack. Item #36—Score 2 points Indicator: 3.3: The fine motor or language activity required by this indicator was reported to occur weekly, rather than daily as required. According to the administrator the staff was nervous so they were confused about the question. During the visit I observed the following toys for dramatic play, block, and manipulatives. Books and games were accessible for language activities. Item #42—Score 3 points Indicator 5.1 & 5.2: The teacher reported that she has two children with a diagnosed disability currently enrolled in the group; however, information about the children's assessments or needs has not been shared with her as required by this indicator. According to the administrator the teacher was nervous so they were confused about the question. Staff are informed if children are diagnosed with a disability. This is communicated by the parents, teachers, and therapist. Technical Assistance Technical Assistance was provided while reviewing the assessments with the administrator.

Children were observed playing outside, eating lunch, and washing their hands when required. Appropriate interactions were observed between children and staff. The following were also observed during today’s visit: staff/child ratios; storage of hazardous products; adequate/approved space; posted license and permit restrictions. For lunch the children were served chicken nuggets, French fries, sliced carrots, sliced bread, and milk.
