Name of Operation: FAIRVIEW CHURCH KIDS CARE Facility ID: 4955024 Consultant: TONI WASHINGTON Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0426-284L Visit Date: 5/4/2026 Number Present: 55 Completed Date: 5/4/2026 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 375 Time In: 09:00 AM Time Out: 03:15 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to obtain information regarding alleged violations of child care requirements: There are concerns of violations of child care requirements of inappropriate discipline. Jaclyn Flowe, Investigations Consultant accompany me during the visit today. You Amanda O'Donnell, Director was given a chance to reply to the allegations listed above. You, Amanda O'Donnell was able to assist me with my walkthrough today. During today’s visit, staff/child ratios, group size, supervision, use of licensed space, space capacity, license restrictions, and the outdoor environment were monitored. The facility’s license and emergency care plan were observed to be posted as required. I observed both indoor and outdoor spaces utilized by children. Additionally, I observed teachers’ engagement with children during large group activities, small group activities, personal care routines, and lunch being served. Regarding the allegation of inappropriate discipline of children, it was observed on video footage dated April 2, 2026, that a board member grabbed a three-year-old child by the hand in a non-harmful manner and removed the child from the playground equipment after the child was observed throwing mulch at other children. The board member then escorted the child to another area of the playground and instructed the child to sit in time-out. It was further observed on video footage that the board member was standing with staff and helping to supervise the children on the playground and interacting with the children by talking with them. It was also stated by one staff member that the board member assisted with bringing the children to the playground area for outdoor play. It was stated by one staff member that the board member was assisting on the playground due to the termination of two classroom teachers, and the administrators wanted to ensure the classroom remained in compliance with staff-to-child ratio requirements. Three staff members were interviewed, and all stated that the board member did not handle the child in a harmful manner. Based on the review of video footage and staff interviews, the allegation of inappropriate discipline of a child was determined to be unsubstantiated. It was observed today on video footage dated April 2, 2026, in an unrelated incident involving three-year-old children, that a teacher grabbed a child by her arm, picked her up in a harsh manner, and removed her from the playground equipment. It was further observed that the teacher held the child in her arms and did not allow the child to get down. The child was observed wiggling and attempting to get out of the teacher’s arms; however, the teacher continued to hold the child until the child was handed to another teacher. It was observed that once the child was handed to the other teacher, the child appeared to calm down. The second teacher attempted to place the child down so she could return to playing with the other children; however, the child indicated a desire to continue being held by the teacher. It was stated by one teacher that she also experiences challenges with this child during rest time. It was stated that staff have difficulty keeping the child on her cot, as the child frequently gets off the cot, plays under the sheet, jumps on the cot, and does not rest as instructed. Consultation was provided to the teacher regarding strategies to support the child during rest time. Based on the manner in which the teacher grabbed and handled the child, a violation was cited. Today the following violation was observed and cited during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 902 Each child was not attended to in a nurturing and appropriate manner, or in keeping with the child's developmental needs. A teacher working with children grabbed a child by the arm harshly taking her off the playground equipment.

Name of Operation: FAIRVIEW CHURCH KIDS CARE Facility ID: 4955024 Consultant: TONI WASHINGTON Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0426-284L Visit Date: 5/4/2026 Number Present: 55 Completed Date: 5/4/2026 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 375 Time In: 09:00 AM Time Out: 03:15 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to obtain information regarding alleged violations of child care requirements: There are concerns of violations of child care requirements of inappropriate discipline. Jaclyn Flowe, Investigations Consultant accompany me during the visit today. You Amanda O'Donnell, Director was given a chance to reply to the allegations listed above. You, Amanda O'Donnell was able to assist me with my walkthrough today. During today’s visit, staff/child ratios, group size, supervision, use of licensed space, space capacity, license restrictions, and the outdoor environment were monitored. The facility’s license and emergency care plan were observed to be posted as required. I observed both indoor and outdoor spaces utilized by children. Additionally, I observed teachers’ engagement with children during large group activities, small group activities, personal care routines, and lunch being served. Regarding the allegation of inappropriate discipline of children, it was observed on video footage dated April 2, 2026, that a board member grabbed a three-year-old child by the hand in a non-harmful manner and removed the child from the playground equipment after the child was observed throwing mulch at other children. The board member then escorted the child to another area of the playground and instructed the child to sit in time-out. It was further observed on video footage that the board member was standing with staff and helping to supervise the children on the playground and interacting with the children by talking with them. It was also stated by one staff member that the board member assisted with bringing the children to the playground area for outdoor play. It was stated by one staff member that the board member was assisting on the playground due to the termination of two classroom teachers, and the administrators wanted to ensure the classroom remained in compliance with staff-to-child ratio requirements. Three staff members were interviewed, and all stated that the board member did not handle the child in a harmful manner. Based on the review of video footage and staff interviews, the allegation of inappropriate discipline of a child was determined to be unsubstantiated. It was observed today on video footage dated April 2, 2026, in an unrelated incident involving three-year-old children, that a teacher grabbed a child by her arm, picked her up in a harsh manner, and removed her from the playground equipment. It was further observed that the teacher held the child in her arms and did not allow the child to get down. The child was observed wiggling and attempting to get out of the teacher’s arms; however, the teacher continued to hold the child until the child was handed to another teacher. It was observed that once the child was handed to the other teacher, the child appeared to calm down. The second teacher attempted to place the child down so she could return to playing with the other children; however, the child indicated a desire to continue being held by the teacher. It was stated by one teacher that she also experiences challenges with this child during rest time. It was stated that staff have difficulty keeping the child on her cot, as the child frequently gets off the cot, plays under the sheet, jumps on the cot, and does not rest as instructed. Consultation was provided to the teacher regarding strategies to support the child during rest time. Based on the manner in which the teacher grabbed and handled the child, a violation was cited. Today the following violation was observed and cited during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 902 Each child was not attended to in a nurturing and appropriate manner, or in keeping with the child's developmental needs. A teacher working with children grabbed a child by the arm harshly taking her off the playground equipment.

Name of Operation: FAIRVIEW CHURCH KIDS CARE Facility ID: 4955024 Consultant: TONI WASHINGTON Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0226-062L Visit Date: 2/18/2026 Number Present: 58 Completed Date: 2/18/2026 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 180 Time In: 09:00 AM Time Out: 12:00 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to obtain information regarding alleged violations of childcare requirements regarding staff/child ratios, safe sleep practices, and age appropriate activities. Upon arrival, I was greeted by you, Amanda O’Donnell, Director and you accompanied me during a walkthrough of the facility. During the visit, I discussed the allegations with you. You were given a chance to respond to the allegations. Staff/child ratio, group size, supervision, use of licensed space, space capacity, and license restrictions were monitored. The children were observed during free choice activities indoors, diaper-changing procedures, hand-washing routines, I observed that in the 2-year-old classroom children were at a table painting with cars. I observed in the 4-year-old class children were in small group drawing emojis about feelings. Positive interactions between the staff, children and families were observed throughout today’s visit. Regarding the allegation that staff/child ratios were not being maintained, I conducted observations in all classrooms during my visit today. At the time of the visit, all classrooms were operating within required staff/child ratios. I reviewed staff timesheets, child sign-in records, and classroom attendance documentation for the period of January 15, 2026, through February 18, 2026. Based on this review, the facility was out of required staff/child ratio on two occasions during the opening hours. I discussed these findings with the Director and reviewed the supporting documentation with her. She acknowledged that there were a few mornings when the facility was out of ratio during opening hours. She stated that efforts are being made to ensure sufficient staff are present in the building at opening to provide appropriate classroom coverage and maintain compliance with staff/child ratio requirements. Based on an interview with the director and supporting documentation (timesheets, sign-in sheets, and attendance) the allegation of staff/child ratio is substantiated. Regarding the allegation that safe sleep practices were not being met, I conducted an observation of the infant classroom during my visit. I interviewed two (2) staff members assigned to the classroom. Both staff members stated they had no knowledge of infants being placed to sleep in swings or bouncers. During the visit, I provided technical assistance to classroom staff regarding the facility’s safe sleep policy. We reviewed requirements, including that infants are to be placed on their backs to sleep in their assigned cribs during nap times and that swings and bouncers are not approved sleep equipment. I also verified that the infant classroom staff have a signed safe sleep policy on file in their staff records. Based on classroom observations, staff interviews, and documentation reviewed, the allegation that infants were sleeping in swings or bouncers in violation of the safe sleep policy is unsubstantiated. Regarding the allegation that age-appropriate activities were not being conducted, I observed all classrooms during my visit today to assess classroom practices and instructional activities. In Space Eight (8), I observed children participating in a small group art activity. The activity was developmentally appropriate for the age group and aligned with classroom programming. During the observation, two children were seated and waiting approximately five to seven minutes before beginning their activity. I observed that the teacher was facilitating the painting activity by working with one child at a time, rather than allowing all participating children to engage simultaneously. While the activity itself was age-appropriate, the structure of the implementation resulted in brief wait times for some children. I discussed the importance of minimizing wait time and maximizing active engagement during small group activities to ensure children remain meaningfully involved. During my observation of Classroom C106, I noted that a child was seated at the table and not actively engaged in the small group art activity that was taking place. Upon further observation, it was determined that the child had already completed his art project and was waiting for the remaining children to finish. I discussed this observation with the Director. She stated that the child occasionally chooses to sit quietly after completing an activity. I provided technical assistance and recommended that staff consider redirecting the child to another learning center or offering an additional activity once his initial project is complete. This would help ensure continuous engagement and support active participation throughout the instructional period. Based on observation and monitoring of the consultant in two separate classrooms the allegation of age appropriate activities is substantiated. Violations were observed and cited during today's visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 432 The center did not have developmentally appropriate equipment and materials accessible daily. It was observed that one children in space C106, three years of age, was waiting at the table for eight minutes with no materials available to them while the other children were completing an art activity. GS 110-91(12);10A NCAC 09 .0509(1) 487 For children under three years of age, materials were not made available to children on a daily basis. It was observed that two children in space 108C, two years of age, were made to wait for their turn at the table with no materials or activities available to them for five to seven minutes. The staff member completed the art activity one at a time with children. .0510(e)(2) 1756 Enhanced staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. It was observed through review of documentation of staff timesheets and child sign-in records and attendance records that on February 9th and February 13 the facility was out of ratio during the first hour of operation. 10A NCAC 09 .2818 Technical Assistance: 1) It was suggested that an additional staff member be scheduled during the morning shift to ensure adequate classroom coverage and maintain compliance with staff/child ratio requirements during opening hours. It was also recommended that classroom teachers notify administrative staff in advance if enrollment or attendance numbers place them at risk of becoming out of ratio. Proactive communication will allow for timely adjustments before noncompliance occurs. Additionally, it was discussed that administrative staff are available to provide classroom coverage as needed to assist with maintaining ratios until additional staff members are hired and fully onboarded. 2)Safe Sleep Policy: We reviewed requirements, including that infants are to be placed on their backs to sleep in their assigned cribs during nap times and that swings and bouncers are not approved sleep equipment. I suggested that administrative staff review the Safe Sleep Policy with staff. 3) It was discussed with all teaching staff that children are to remain actively engaged throughout the day and should not be seated for extended periods waiting for activities to begin or conclude. Continuous engagement is essential to support developmentally appropriate practice and effective classroom management. It was recommended that when teachers are conducting small group activities that require one-on-one interaction, the remaining children be directed to learning centers or other approved activity areas. This approach helps minimize wait time, promotes independence, and ensures all children remain meaningfully engaged while instruction is being delivered. COMPLIANCE PLAN: No compliance documentation is needed for those violations corrected during today’s visit. In the visit summary, I documented the corrective actions taken today to correct those violations. All violations cited and not corrected today must be corrected immediately. Please submit a written, signed, and dated statement to me at the email/address below detailing the steps taken to correct each violation. Your compliance letter must include the following: 1.

Name of Operation: FAIRVIEW CHURCH KIDS CARE Facility ID: 4955024 Consultant: TONI WASHINGTON Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0226-062L Visit Date: 2/18/2026 Number Present: 58 Completed Date: 2/18/2026 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 180 Time In: 09:00 AM Time Out: 12:00 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Complaint Visit Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to obtain information regarding alleged violations of childcare requirements regarding staff/child ratios, safe sleep practices, and age appropriate activities. Upon arrival, I was greeted by you, Amanda O’Donnell, Director and you accompanied me during a walkthrough of the facility. During the visit, I discussed the allegations with you. You were given a chance to respond to the allegations. Staff/child ratio, group size, supervision, use of licensed space, space capacity, and license restrictions were monitored. The children were observed during free choice activities indoors, diaper-changing procedures, hand-washing routines, I observed that in the 2-year-old classroom children were at a table painting with cars. I observed in the 4-year-old class children were in small group drawing emojis about feelings. Positive interactions between the staff, children and families were observed throughout today’s visit. Regarding the allegation that staff/child ratios were not being maintained, I conducted observations in all classrooms during my visit today. At the time of the visit, all classrooms were operating within required staff/child ratios. I reviewed staff timesheets, child sign-in records, and classroom attendance documentation for the period of January 15, 2026, through February 18, 2026. Based on this review, the facility was out of required staff/child ratio on two occasions during the opening hours. I discussed these findings with the Director and reviewed the supporting documentation with her. She acknowledged that there were a few mornings when the facility was out of ratio during opening hours. She stated that efforts are being made to ensure sufficient staff are present in the building at opening to provide appropriate classroom coverage and maintain compliance with staff/child ratio requirements. Based on an interview with the director and supporting documentation (timesheets, sign-in sheets, and attendance) the allegation of staff/child ratio is substantiated. Regarding the allegation that safe sleep practices were not being met, I conducted an observation of the infant classroom during my visit. I interviewed two (2) staff members assigned to the classroom. Both staff members stated they had no knowledge of infants being placed to sleep in swings or bouncers. During the visit, I provided technical assistance to classroom staff regarding the facility’s safe sleep policy. We reviewed requirements, including that infants are to be placed on their backs to sleep in their assigned cribs during nap times and that swings and bouncers are not approved sleep equipment. I also verified that the infant classroom staff have a signed safe sleep policy on file in their staff records. Based on classroom observations, staff interviews, and documentation reviewed, the allegation that infants were sleeping in swings or bouncers in violation of the safe sleep policy is unsubstantiated. Regarding the allegation that age-appropriate activities were not being conducted, I observed all classrooms during my visit today to assess classroom practices and instructional activities. In Space Eight (8), I observed children participating in a small group art activity. The activity was developmentally appropriate for the age group and aligned with classroom programming. During the observation, two children were seated and waiting approximately five to seven minutes before beginning their activity. I observed that the teacher was facilitating the painting activity by working with one child at a time, rather than allowing all participating children to engage simultaneously. While the activity itself was age-appropriate, the structure of the implementation resulted in brief wait times for some children. I discussed the importance of minimizing wait time and maximizing active engagement during small group activities to ensure children remain meaningfully involved. During my observation of Classroom C106, I noted that a child was seated at the table and not actively engaged in the small group art activity that was taking place. Upon further observation, it was determined that the child had already completed his art project and was waiting for the remaining children to finish. I discussed this observation with the Director. She stated that the child occasionally chooses to sit quietly after completing an activity. I provided technical assistance and recommended that staff consider redirecting the child to another learning center or offering an additional activity once his initial project is complete. This would help ensure continuous engagement and support active participation throughout the instructional period. Based on observation and monitoring of the consultant in two separate classrooms the allegation of age appropriate activities is substantiated. Violations were observed and cited during today's visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 432 The center did not have developmentally appropriate equipment and materials accessible daily. It was observed that one children in space C106, three years of age, was waiting at the table for eight minutes with no materials available to them while the other children were completing an art activity. GS 110-91(12);10A NCAC 09 .0509(1) 487 For children under three years of age, materials were not made available to children on a daily basis. It was observed that two children in space 108C, two years of age, were made to wait for their turn at the table with no materials or activities available to them for five to seven minutes. The staff member completed the art activity one at a time with children. .0510(e)(2) 1756 Enhanced staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. It was observed through review of documentation of staff timesheets and child sign-in records and attendance records that on February 9th and February 13 the facility was out of ratio during the first hour of operation. 10A NCAC 09 .2818 Technical Assistance: 1) It was suggested that an additional staff member be scheduled during the morning shift to ensure adequate classroom coverage and maintain compliance with staff/child ratio requirements during opening hours. It was also recommended that classroom teachers notify administrative staff in advance if enrollment or attendance numbers place them at risk of becoming out of ratio. Proactive communication will allow for timely adjustments before noncompliance occurs. Additionally, it was discussed that administrative staff are available to provide classroom coverage as needed to assist with maintaining ratios until additional staff members are hired and fully onboarded. 2)Safe Sleep Policy: We reviewed requirements, including that infants are to be placed on their backs to sleep in their assigned cribs during nap times and that swings and bouncers are not approved sleep equipment. I suggested that administrative staff review the Safe Sleep Policy with staff. 3) It was discussed with all teaching staff that children are to remain actively engaged throughout the day and should not be seated for extended periods waiting for activities to begin or conclude. Continuous engagement is essential to support developmentally appropriate practice and effective classroom management. It was recommended that when teachers are conducting small group activities that require one-on-one interaction, the remaining children be directed to learning centers or other approved activity areas. This approach helps minimize wait time, promotes independence, and ensures all children remain meaningfully engaged while instruction is being delivered.

The Change of Information form can be found on DCDEE’s website under Provider Documents and Forms. Technical Assistance Guidance 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 (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you.

The Change of Information form can be found on DCDEE’s website under Provider Documents and Forms. Technical Assistance Guidance 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.

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 allegations are as follows: There are allegations of violations of child care requirements regarding staff qualifications and staff child ratio. You, Amanda O’Donnell, Director, assisted me with the visit today. You were given a chance to respond to the allegations. Your program currently operates with a four-star license, issued on March 13, 2020, 4 earning points in staff education, 7 points in program standards, and 1 quality point. Staff/child ratio, group size, supervision, use of licensed space, space capacity, license restrictions, and the outdoor environment were monitored. The license and emergency care plan were posted. Fire drills, and storage of hazardous products were also monitored. Additionally, I observed the indoor and outdoor space used by the children. I observed the teacher engagement with students in large group activities. I observed children in small group activities, center play, personal care routines, and children eating lunch. Regarding the allegation there are concerns staff qualification are not being met: I interviewed eleven staff members and the director today. It was stated by all staff members that a minor (12 years old) has been helping in the classrooms. It was stated by three employees that the minor (12 years old) has been in the classroom alone with children while the teachers take bathroom breaks. It was stated that the minor is at the facility every day helping in the classrooms every day.

It was stated by all eleven staff members that the minor does help in the classroom. It was stated by three staff members that the minor child was permitted to give bathroom breaks, which therefore made the minor to be counted in staff/child ratio.

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.
