According to child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .1102(c-d), all staff who provide direct care or accompany children when they are off premises shall successfully complete certification in CPR and First Aid appropriate to the ages of children in care. The training must be completed within 90 days of employment. CPR and First Aid training shall be renewed on or before expiration of the certification.

A hard copy of the approved training organization list was left with M. Hilliard. Food Storage A violation was cited today for not storing perishable food in a manner that will prevent spoilage. According to child care sanitation rule 15A NCAC 18A .2806(c), in child care centers, food shall be stored in approved, clean, tightly covered, storage containers once the original package is opened. Approved containers include resealable bags and other containers made of plastic or glass. Reusable containers that come in direct contact with food must be easy to clean, in good repair and intended for food storage. Dry foods that are not readily identifiable and are stored in containers shall be labeled. We discussed the importance of labeling containers with expiration dates as soon as food is transferred from the original container. Infant/Toddler Classroom Observation I discussed the results of my observation in Space #105 with M. Hilliard. I encouraged staff to continue to show awareness, reacting quickly, and solving problems in a comforting way. I also encouraged staff to continue to facilitate positive peer interaction, modeling positive social interaction, and explaining children’s actions, intentions, and feelings to other children. Preschool Classroom Observation I discussed the results of my observation in Space #103 with M. Hilliard. I encouraged staff to continue to be flexible in their posted schedule based on children’s interest and attention span.

I encourage teachers to give children opportunities to respond to their statements or questions and encourage peer conversations.

An observation was observed in the infant classroom and the toddler/preschool classroom. In both classrooms, both staff members provided opportunities for learning and development. The staff members talked to the children and encouraged the children to conversate. Today I am providing technical assistance with literature. In the toddler/preschool classroom, there are a variety of books for the children to use. In the infant classroom, the staff members will need to provide additional books. For the infant classrooms, the staff members can add soft books and include puppets. In the toddler/preschool classroom, when expanding on activities, it is important to provide books and encourage the use of literature. It is important to make sure that reading is communicated to the children, as exciting and fun. In addition, add books that focus on children’s interest. Talk to the children about the books and provide an activity that correlates with the book. The teacher can also provide paper bags with materials and allow children to create puppets to reassemble a character in the book.
