Upon my arrival, there were eighty-one (81) children in care. Children participated in various activities. I observed group activities. Children were listening to a story and singing the good morning song. Some discussed 911 and sat at tables coloring a 911 ditto sheet.

The previous Annual Compliance Visit was completed September 12, 2023, and prior to today’s visit, the eighteen-month compliance history score was 90%, which is at or above 75%, as required by North Carolina General Statute 110-90(4)(c-d). This program currently operates with a four-Star License issued February 21, 2019. The License was based on the program earning seven points in education standards, two points in program standards, and one quality point by choosing to meet a programmatic option by providing meeting staff benefits and infrastructure of parent involvement. The information on record with DCDEE was verified as correct by Leasa McDougald. Current Inspections are as follows: Sanitation Classification of superior completed April 11, 2023. Fire Inspection approved completed December 12, 2023. There are concerns that children are not being adequately supervised. Leasa McDougald, Administrator, assisted me as I observed the indoor and outdoor areas. I conducted a walk-through of the facility to capture staff/child ratios and supervision. There were seventy-two children in care. Upon my arrival, children were preparing for and/or eating lunch. Lunch consisted of mashed potatoes, ground turkey, plums, pears, wheat bread, and milk. I observed, toileting, hand washing, bottle feeding, lunch, clean-up time, preparation for rest time, and rest time. The allegation was discussed with L. McDougald, Administrator. I interviewed three staff members and had one phone conference. I observed pictures, the child’s hair in person, and documentation of observation from a staff member. On May 2, 2024, a parent picked her child up from the center at approximately 4:00 pm. Mom noticed dirt in the child’s hair and proceeded to remove the dirt. She noticed a patch of hair missing from the front of the child’s head. The parent returned inside the center and spoke with a teacher. The teacher told the parent to speak with another teacher because she hadn’t worked with the child that day. The other teacher stated that the parent asked her what happened to the child’s hair. She told the parent, she didn’t know what happened and when she was going to tell her what she noticed, the parent walked away. The parent spoke to the administrator explaining and showing the child’s hair. One patch of hair was missing at the time. It was explained to the teacher that scissors for the child’s classroom are used only for supervised activities. The teacher working in the child’s classroom stated, scissors had not been used for an activity that day. The next day the mom arrived with the child and showed the administrator another patch of missing hair in the back of the child’s head. The child’s teacher did notice a spot in the front of the child’s head at approximately 10:30 AM, after returning indoors from playing on the outside area. She said it looked like the child’s hair was hanging. Observation of the teacher’s documentation was reviewed. During interviews, no one knew or saw what happened to the child’s hair. According to pictures submitted, the child’s hair did not look like it was cut with scissors. Based on information gathered and observations made, it could not be determined, what happened to the child’s hair. Therefore, the allegation of violations of child requirements pertaining to adequate supervision is unsubstantiated. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with L. McDougald. The following violation was observed. Violation Number Comment Rule 899 The child care operator did not comply with all State laws, federal laws and/or local ordinances that pertain to child health, safety, and welfare, as required by General Statute 110-91. A current annual sanitation inspection was not on file. The last sanitation inspection was dated 4/11/23. GS 110-91 The violation must be corrected immediately. Mail or email a written, dated, and signed statement to me by 5:00 pm on May 30, 2024, describing how and when the violations were corrected and how the facility plans to maintain compliance in the future. If the compliance letter is not received by the due date, an additional visit will be conducted to verify that violations have been corrected.

Mail or email the information to: Rona Davis Child Care Consultant P.O. Box 1218 Raeford, NC 28376 rona.davis@dhhs.nc.gov Facility Specific TA/Consultation/Reminders: Observation Suggestions: Continue to build relationships with infants/toddlers: It is important to build relationships with infants, enjoying your time with them with respect because infants who have a secure relationship with their caregivers are more likely to engage with and learn from their environments. Some strategies are: • Showing affection and sharing experiences with infants (affection, proximity, eye contact) • Using a calm voice and gentle touch; using polite language and calling infant by name; letting infants know what to expect before moving their bodies (calm voice, gentle touch, communication of intentions or changes) • Smiling, laughing, and showing sincere enthusiasm • Being aware of your own feelings of frustration, tone, negativity, roughness with infants. Being available to provide comfort to infants and respond to their individual needs by listening and watching for their verbal and physical cues is important because when infants can trust you to meet their needs and consistently feel safe and secure, they have lower levels of stress and are more willing to try new things, explore and learn. Some strategies are: • Visually scan the room and look for their verbal and physical cues, acknowledge infants by smiling at them and talking to them, attend to them physically • Respond to infants’ emotions and needs in a soothing, understanding, and individualized way. • Be able to calm upset infants; infants looking and reaching for you. SURFACING: A violation was cited for not having the required six inches of surfacing under the stationary bus and seesaw. We discussed using shredded tires for surfacing. Remember to ensure that the surfacing types meets the ASTM F1292 standard and file the paperwork for review. This is applied only to equipment with a fall height more than 18 inches unless other obvious safety concerns related to where children could fall are noted. However, equipment spacing, and placement is an important safety consideration for all gross motor equipment and no equipment should be placed so that children fall onto or run into any hard objects when using the equipment regardless of height. We discussed a written policy for cleaning vomit and diarrhea for your facility. Be sure to include the following: (1) Child care center employees who are part of the designated clean up response team; (2) A supply list for vomit and diarrhea cleanup kit items that shall be kept on-site at the child care center, including: (A) disposable personal protective equipment (gloves, apron, mask, shoe covers, and hair restraint); (B) two disposable plastic bags; (C) paper towels; (D) a scoop or scraper; (E) a mop and bucket; and (F) an approved disinfectant; (3) The location of the supplies described in Subparagraph (d)(2) of this Rule; (4) A procedure for preventing access to the contaminated area; (5) The steps used to clean and disinfect the contaminated area, which shall include the following: (A) for hard surfaces, remove the vomit or diarrhea, wash the contaminated surface, and use an approved disinfectant. (B) for carpet or upholstery, remove the vomit or diarrhea without use of vacuum, wash all surfaces, and steam clean or use an approved disinfectant. (6) The steps for after clean-up, which shall include the following: (A) throw away all items that came into contact with the vomit or diarrhea; (B) remove all personal protective equipment (PPE); (C) discard all cleaning items and PPE in a secured trash area; (D) disinfect non disposable cleaning items such as scoops, scrapers, mop heads, mop handles, and buckets and discard of disposable cleaning items; and (E) wash hands in accordance with the procedures in Rule .2803(e) of this Section.

To ensure a health and safety environment refer to child care rule reference 10A NCAC .09 1801(a)(1-5).

Teachers will continue leaving the door open when children are standing in the hallway. I will return sometime within two weeks to verify supervision is in compliance.
