Your program currently operates with a five-star license, issued on September 18, 2020, earning seven points in staff education, seven points in program standards, and one quality point. Your last sanitation inspection was dated November 04, 2024, with a Superior classification and four demerits Your last fire inspection was not on file. I visited each licensed indoor and outdoor space with you today. I observed students playing in activity areas in the gym and classroom, eating snacks (supper) and personal hygiene routines.

Lunch(snack) was prepared and served in the cafeteria. Today’s supper (snack) included pizza pockets, potato wedges, peaches, and milk.

A current fire inspection was not on file for view. 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: 1. It was discussed that fire inspections need to be current. It was discussed that the current fire inspection can be obtained by the school office if a copy is not given to you by your Prime Time Director. It was discussed that the inspection must be kept with other inspection that need to be viewed by the consultant. The Fire inspection needs to be on the DCDEE inspection form. CONSULTATION: 1 Please continue to visit DCDEE’s website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ to get the latest information for child care settings and child care updates including the most up to date documents and forms. 2 Visit NC Child Care Health and Safety Resource Center at http://healthychildcare.unc.edu to find the following resources: technical assistance, coaching support, resources, handwashing and diapering posters, monthly newsletters, and a list of approved in-service trainings including, but not limited to, ITS-SIDS training and Emergency Preparedness and Response in Child Care training. 3 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) 814-8401 and someone will assist you. 4. Throughout the next few months, I recommend you consider completing the following tasks and activities that will help prepare you for your reassessment year, whi2h will be sometime between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026. • Have all staff update WORKS accounts to reflect all currently completed coursework (DCDEE-WORKS) • Determine whether you wish to have Environment Rating Scale (ERS) Assessments [ITERS-R, ECERS-R, and/or SACERS-U] conducted • Request technical assistance with your child care consultant and local partners • Participate in local CCR&R and NCPC quality related training/workshops (CCRR Information) • Reach out to your local Community College to discuss educational opportunities • Review NCRLAP website ERS resources (www.NCRLAP.org). To help review ERS requirements and think carefully about the current characteristics and practices in your program and classrooms, check out the Thinking More worksheets. A worksheet is available for each subscale of each rating scale. If desired, assessment scores can be used during the preparation year if the operator wants to move forward with a rated license reassessment Assessment scores can be saved to use during the reassessment year Facilities can request another ERS assessment (free of charge) in your reassessment year for any ERS assessment scoring less than a 5.0 If you have questions, please contact me.
