A checklist was used to note the requirements I monitored today. Upon arrival I was greeted by the Assistant Administrator, Barbara Harrell. Ratio, group size, supervision, capacity, and approved space were in compliance. The license, restrictions, and emergency care plan were posted. CPR, First-Aid, and storage of hazardous materials were monitored. The NC Child Care Law was posted. The children were observed preparing for naptime. During today’s review I monitored program requirements, equipment and furnishings, medications, outdoor area, and transportation and all items were in compliance. I reviewed children’s records and the completed staff and training worksheets. Your signature on these forms will serve as further verification of the information provided is accurate and complete. Your facility information and e-mail address were reviewed, and no changes were made. The following violation was observed during today’s visit; Violation Number Comment Rule 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference. The current activity plan in the classroom for school-age children was not posted. GS 110-91(12); .0508(a) In response to the violation that was cited during today’s visit, I provided technical assistance and clarification on the following item; All centers must have a current schedule and activity plan for each group of children posted for reference by parents and by caregivers. I recommend that you complete a weekly review of activity plans to ensure that all classrooms have the current plan posted. Activity plans are an important tool to help in preparing for children’s care and learning. Preparation for these plans provides the teacher time to think about the class, stage of development for the children and allows for challenging but achievable goals to be obtained and achieve overall success. Although violations were not observed, I provided clarification and technical assistance regarding the following items; I reviewed the Criminal Background Check application and explained that it will be completed online at www.ncchildcare.nc.gov/general/dhhscrc.asp. The payment for a Criminal Background Check will be part of the online application process. Fingerprints must be completed through live scan at your local county Sheriff's Office. I recommended that you visit our website and stay familiar with the Criminal Background Check procedures. During today’s review I observed that all staff have obtained approved qualifying letters. Please be reminded that all staff members need to complete the entire process initially and obtain an approved qualifying letter before they are hired or begin working. The General Assembly of North Carolina enacted G.S. 110-90.2(b) which explains that CBC renewals are currently due for all employees every five years. I also explained that you must place the correct e-mail on the CBC application to ensure that your qualifying letter is received in a timely manner. I explained that you can renew criminal background checks up to six months ahead of time. I also recommended that you place renewal dates on a calendar, spreadsheet, or bulletin board to help keep you reminded of when it's time for renewals to be completed and this will help to maintain compliance in this area. As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at 1-800-859-0829 or (919) 814-8401 and someone will assist you. During today’s visit I observed a sample of the children’s work and verified that it relates to the current theme of study. The current theme is Spring. The activities revolve around flowers, seeds, bees, the sun and rainbows. I also observed artwork, photographs, writing samples, number concepts, shapes and alphabet knowledge that promotes independence, self-exploration, global awareness, literacy activities, as well as emotional, social, cognitive and physical development. I reviewed and explained that each operator must schedule a Sanitation and Fire inspection within 12 months of the center's previous inspections. You must submit the original of the completed Sanitation and Fire inspection report to me within one week of the inspection, on the state form provided by the Division. Please be reminded your fire inspection will expire on 03/11/2026. Your sanitation inspection will expire on 12/12/25. Please contact Environmental Health and your local fire inspector within 30 days of the due date to request an inspection be completed. Once your inspection has been received, you will need to email them to me or mail two copies to PO Box 2306 Lillington, NC 27546. I also reviewed with you a list of trainings that were available through the Southwestern Child Development Commission which can also be found at www.swcdcinc.org. All health and safety trainings have now been relocated from Pro-Solutions to Moodle on our website free of charge. I observed that all applicable staff have completed the five-year renewal for the required health and safety trainings. Professional development training and education provides early childhood staff with the knowledge and skills needed to perform their duties and provide quality child care. Training is an on-going process which prepares educators to develop and expand upon their skills and knowledge. Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your program. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all of the applicable laws and rules at all times. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the childcare law and rules. I explained that you have access to the on-line version of the Child Care Rule Book, as well as a hard copy of the rules. I recommended that you visit the Division of Child Development's website (www.ncchildcare.nc.gov) on a regular basis to find out what's new in childcare. You could also find any needed Child Care forms by going on the web site and clicking on the "Provider" tab and then clicking on the "Provider Documents" tab. If you have any questions, you can contact me at 910-824-0137 or Mashekia.raines@dhhs.nc.gov. If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000). All information in this report has been reviewed with me today.I understand that it is my responsibility to maintaincompliance with applicable NC Child Care Requirements at all times
