The previous annual compliance visit was completed November 24, 2025, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score was 91%, which is at or above 75%, as required by North Carolina General Statute 110-90(4)(c-d). This program currently operates with a Five-Star License issued June 3, 2022. The License was based on the program earning seven points in education standards, six points in program standards, and one quality point by choosing to meet an educational option of a combined turnover rate of 20% or less for the administrator, program coordinator, lead teacher, teacher, and group leader over the last 12 months. The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by Gloria Daniels. The owner’s corporation status, Just Like Mom, INC. was verified on the Secretary of State’s website as current-active. Tyrone Short, administrator, last day of employment was December 9, 2025. Therefore, the information was updated in the regulatory system. Current Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of Superior completed May 29, 2026. Fire Inspection of Approved completed January 9, 2025. Gloria Daniels and Tara Ingram, administrators, were present and assisted me while I observed the indoor and outdoor areas. Upon my arrival, there were twenty-eight (28) children in care. Children in spaces #1 and #3 were observed outdoors. They were running, jumping, playing ball, pushing toys, digging, chasing and popping bubbles, and playing in the playhouses. In space #4, children were participating in several activities. Some were painting using paintbrushes and various colors of paint. Three children were seated on the carpet using magnetic alphabet fishing poles. Another child was building with large screws and connectors. A teacher intervened when two children had a disagreement over classroom materials, suggesting they divide the magnetic letters. The children agreed enthusiastically and continued playing. In space #5, children were seated on the floor with their teacher, playing with developmentally age appropriate materials such as push toys, rattles, and musical toys with buttons that activated sounds or music. Some children participated in color recognition as the teacher named colors and the children repeated them. I also observed toileting, handwashing, sanitation practices, lunch, and rest time. Lunch consisted of bologna sandwiches, steamed corn, oranges, and milk. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with G. Daniels. The following violations were observed. Violation Number Comment Rule 1035 Child care providers, including the director, uncompensated providers, substitute providers, and volunteers did not have the required Emergency Information Form on file on or before the first day of work, which included all the required information and/or the information on the form was not updated as changes occur and at least annually. Emergency Information was not on file before the first day of work for one volunteer (C. K.). .0701(a) 1958 Substitute providers and volunteers did not have a health questionnaire on or before the first day of work and annually thereafter. A health questionnaire was not on file before the first day of work for one volunteer (C.K.). 10A NCAC 09 .0701(a) Violations were corrected during today’s visit. Therefore, a compliance letter is not required. My contact information is: Rona Davis Child Care Consultant P.O. Box 1218 Raeford, NC 28376 rona.davis@dhhs.nc.gov If you email the compliance letter, you must include a signature block, which contains your name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678[DM1.1] Facility Specific TA/Consultation/Reminders[DM2.1]: A violation was cited today for one volunteer who did not have a health questionnaire or emergency information on file. Please remember to ensure that all new volunteers complete the required documentation before working with children. Volunteers must have the following: • Verification of their age (must be at least 13 years old) • Emergency Information form • Health questionnaire • TB test results (required if volunteering more than once per week) Refer to child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .070(a). QRIS Modernization Pathway: During today’s visit an overview of section .3200 of the child care rules was provided. Each of the following pathway options were discussed: Program Assessment Pathway, Classroom and Instructional Quality Pathway, and Accreditation and Head Start Pathway. Education requirements were also reviewed. Based on today’s conversation you will be pursuing the Classroom and Instructional Quality Pathway (2). Observation Suggestions: A language-rich environment: helping infants learn to communicate with themselves and communicate their needs is important because it helps them gain the foundational skills on which all later language is built. Some strategies are: • Talking to infants in complete and descriptive sentences, narrating what you’re doing and what’s happening in the classroom; telling infants the names of objects they see. • Talking to infants with the intention of getting them to voice a response, making sounds, repeating their sounds, and asking them questions. • Telling infants what you “heard” when they use facial expressions, gestures, words, or sounds to communicate; showing infants how conversations work by pausing and making eye contact when you talk to them. • Read to the babies, show them the pictures in the book, point and name the pictures in the book. Teach children how to take care of books. • Include props when reading to children (puppets, flannel boards) Visit the DCDEE website (www.ncchildcare.nc.gov) for updated requirements, forms, and other pertinent information. Please feel free to contact me at rona.davis@dhhs.nc.gov or 910-309-2480 if you have any questions or concerns.
