You, Kevin Dixon, Administrator, assisted me with the visit. The Secretary of State website was checked on September 2, 2025, and your business, Mimi’s Kidz llc, is active and in good standing. If any changes to the corporation need to be made or you decide to sell your business, then you must notify me, your consultant, at least thirty days prior to any changes occurring. The license cannot be bought, sold, subleased, transferred to another person or location, or inherited. Currently this center operates with a temporary license issued on May 14, 2025, with the following restrictions: Daytime care only. During this second Temporary Time Period visit, the classrooms were monitored as well as the playgrounds, materials, equipment and required posted items for meeting all minimum licensing requirements. Children were observed during indoor free play, outdoor free play, routines, lunch, and nap/rest time. The last monthly fire drill was completed on August 22, 2025, at 9:30am. You or at least one employee/staff member must complete the Playground Safety Training no later than November 14, 2025. Once the training is completed, begin completing the monthly outdoor inspection on the form posted on DCDEE’s website under Provider Documents and Forms. A sample of three children’s files were reviewed. One staff file was reviewed. A menu was posted that met all the requirements. The daily schedule was posted. We discussed the Pathways to the Stars. You have chosen Pathway #2. We reviewed the documents on DCDEE’s website regarding Pathway #2 and reviewed the requirements for the Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Plan. You will need to complete the CQI Plan for the facility that focuses on the facility goals. You as the center administrator and staff members with caregiving responsibilities on a routine schedule of at least once per week will complete an individual CQI plan. I discussed with you that programs with less than a three-star license will not be eligible to receive subsidy funding. All staff must establish a DCDEE WORKS account and have their education evaluations completed by Workforce by October 1, 2025. Documentation from Workforce on the results of the education evaluation must be on file for review for each staff member. The following violations were observed today. Violation Number Comment Rule 318 Children between 12 and 24 months of age were grouped with children 3 years of age or older. In space #1, one lead teacher was caring for eight children, one toddler, one year of age, three children, two years of age and four children, three years of age. 10A NCAC 09 .0713(a)(6) 540 An individual written feeding plan was not provided by child's parent or health care provider or was not followed and posted. (omit posting for centers located in a residence) One toddler, twelve months of age did not have an individual written feeding plan on file. 10A NCAC 09 .0902(a) 1301 Center did not maintain a record of daily attendance. The daily attendance was not maintained for one toddler enrolled in space #2 on August 28, 2025, and August 29, 2025. The arrival and departure times were maintained. GS 110-91(9) 1321 Medical exam or health assessment record was not on file before or within 30 days after admission. One child with an enrollment date of June 9, 2025, did not have a health assessment on file. GS110-91(1) Technical assistance was provided on the following: Staff/Child Ratios Children one year of age may not be grouped with children three years of age or older except during the first and last operating hour of the day and the staff/child ratios must be maintained for the youngest child in the group at all times. Due to the capacity of space #2, I suggested that you care for children one year of age and two years of age in space #1, and care for children two- and one-half years of age and older in space #3. Space #2 has a maximum capacity of four children, and you currently have five children, one year of age enrolled. By using a larger space for children one year of age and two years of age, the staff/child ratio could be maintained and could prevent children one year of age being grouped with children three years of age and older throughout the day. A follow-up visit will be conducted soon to confirm compliance. Attendance As children enroll, I suggested that you add them to the correct attendance roster as soon as you receive their completed application. By adding the child to the attendance roster during the enrollment process, this could alert staff to maintain the new child’s daily attendance. Children’s Health Assessments I suggested that you review the paperwork completed by the child’s parent/guardian to ensure that all required paperwork has been completed in its entirety and conduct parent interviews and help with paperwork that must be completed. Written Feeding Plan We discussed children under fifteen months of age must have a written feeding plan on file. I suggested that you print out blank copies of the written feeding plan for parents to complete as children less than fifteen months of age are enrolled. Consultation was provided on the following. • Staff will need to submit official transcripts so their education can be evaluated. Please assist staff with submitting their education to the Workforce Unit in the Raleigh office. On the DCDEE website choose the Provider tab, DCDEE WORKS, and review the DCDEE WORKS Training Simulator Step-by-Step Instructions. Let me know if you have any questions or problems getting this task completed. • You have begun the process of linking staff to your facility through the ABCMS Provider Portal. You completed the webinar, signed the Power Form, but did not have access to the provider portal. You contacted the Criminal Background Unit and successfully completed the steps to gain access. You will need to complete the process of linking staff to your facility. • I reminded you to contact Child Care Connections of Burke County and request a copy of their training calendar to ensure that you complete Playground Safety Training and the Emergency Preparedness and Response training. You said that you have their contact information. Reminders: Any observed violations cited during visits will negatively affect the center's Compliance History Score. Your program must maintain a compliance score of at least 75% as required by G.S. 110-90 (4)(c). Your temporary license will end after November 14, 2025. Stay updated with changes and new rule updates by visiting the DCDEE website at: https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov. Health and Safety Training must be completed within one year of employment for new staff and every five years for staff that have already completed the training. Compliance Letter: You must correct the violations found during today's visit immediately. Please send me a letter verifying compliance by September 17, 2025. Please include in that letter each violation number and explain in detail how you corrected each violation and what plan will be implemented to prevent these violations from occurring again.

You, Kevin Dixon, Administrator, assisted me with the visit. The Secretary of State website was checked on September 2, 2025, and your business, Mimi’s Kidz llc, is active and in good standing. If any changes to the corporation need to be made or you decide to sell your business, then you must notify me, your consultant, at least thirty days prior to any changes occurring. The license cannot be bought, sold, subleased, transferred to another person or location, or inherited. Currently this center operates with a temporary license issued on May 14, 2025, with the following restrictions: Daytime care only. During this second Temporary Time Period visit, the classrooms were monitored as well as the playgrounds, materials, equipment and required posted items for meeting all minimum licensing requirements. Children were observed during indoor free play, outdoor free play, routines, lunch, and nap/rest time. The last monthly fire drill was completed on August 22, 2025, at 9:30am. You or at least one employee/staff member must complete the Playground Safety Training no later than November 14, 2025. Once the training is completed, begin completing the monthly outdoor inspection on the form posted on DCDEE’s website under Provider Documents and Forms. A sample of three children’s files were reviewed. One staff file was reviewed. A menu was posted that met all the requirements. The daily schedule was posted. We discussed the Pathways to the Stars. You have chosen Pathway #2. We reviewed the documents on DCDEE’s website regarding Pathway #2 and reviewed the requirements for the Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Plan. You will need to complete the CQI Plan for the facility that focuses on the facility goals. You as the center administrator and staff members with caregiving responsibilities on a routine schedule of at least once per week will complete an individual CQI plan. I discussed with you that programs with less than a three-star license will not be eligible to receive subsidy funding. All staff must establish a DCDEE WORKS account and have their education evaluations completed by Workforce by October 1, 2025. Documentation from Workforce on the results of the education evaluation must be on file for review for each staff member. The following violations were observed today. Violation Number Comment Rule 318 Children between 12 and 24 months of age were grouped with children 3 years of age or older. In space #1, one lead teacher was caring for eight children, one toddler, one year of age, three children, two years of age and four children, three years of age. 10A NCAC 09 .0713(a)(6) 540 An individual written feeding plan was not provided by child's parent or health care provider or was not followed and posted. (omit posting for centers located in a residence) One toddler, twelve months of age did not have an individual written feeding plan on file. 10A NCAC 09 .0902(a) 1301 Center did not maintain a record of daily attendance. The daily attendance was not maintained for one toddler enrolled in space #2 on August 28, 2025, and August 29, 2025. The arrival and departure times were maintained. GS 110-91(9) 1321 Medical exam or health assessment record was not on file before or within 30 days after admission. One child with an enrollment date of June 9, 2025, did not have a health assessment on file. GS110-91(1) Technical assistance was provided on the following: Staff/Child Ratios Children one year of age may not be grouped with children three years of age or older except during the first and last operating hour of the day and the staff/child ratios must be maintained for the youngest child in the group at all times. Due to the capacity of space #2, I suggested that you care for children one year of age and two years of age in space #1, and care for children two- and one-half years of age and older in space #3. Space #2 has a maximum capacity of four children, and you currently have five children, one year of age enrolled. By using a larger space for children one year of age and two years of age, the staff/child ratio could be maintained and could prevent children one year of age being grouped with children three years of age and older throughout the day. A follow-up visit will be conducted soon to confirm compliance. Attendance As children enroll, I suggested that you add them to the correct attendance roster as soon as you receive their completed application. By adding the child to the attendance roster during the enrollment process, this could alert staff to maintain the new child’s daily attendance. Children’s Health Assessments I suggested that you review the paperwork completed by the child’s parent/guardian to ensure that all required paperwork has been completed in its entirety and conduct parent interviews and help with paperwork that must be completed. Written Feeding Plan We discussed children under fifteen months of age must have a written feeding plan on file. I suggested that you print out blank copies of the written feeding plan for parents to complete as children less than fifteen months of age are enrolled. Consultation was provided on the following. • Staff will need to submit official transcripts so their education can be evaluated. Please assist staff with submitting their education to the Workforce Unit in the Raleigh office. On the DCDEE website choose the Provider tab, DCDEE WORKS, and review the DCDEE WORKS Training Simulator Step-by-Step Instructions. Let me know if you have any questions or problems getting this task completed. • You have begun the process of linking staff to your facility through the ABCMS Provider Portal. You completed the webinar, signed the Power Form, but did not have access to the provider portal. You contacted the Criminal Background Unit and successfully completed the steps to gain access. You will need to complete the process of linking staff to your facility. • I reminded you to contact Child Care Connections of Burke County and request a copy of their training calendar to ensure that you complete Playground Safety Training and the Emergency Preparedness and Response training. You said that you have their contact information. Reminders: Any observed violations cited during visits will negatively affect the center's Compliance History Score. Your program must maintain a compliance score of at least 75% as required by G.S. 110-90 (4)(c). Your temporary license will end after November 14, 2025. Stay updated with changes and new rule updates by visiting the DCDEE website at: https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov. Health and Safety Training must be completed within one year of employment for new staff and every five years for staff that have already completed the training. Compliance Letter: You must correct the violations found during today's visit immediately. Please send me a letter verifying compliance by September 17, 2025. Please include in that letter each violation number and explain in detail how you corrected each violation and what plan will be implemented to prevent these violations from occurring again. Please sign the letter, include your facility name, ID number, visit date and mail the letter to my mailing address below or email the letter to me at jennifer.roberts@dhhs.nc.gov: Jennifer Roberts PO Box 426 Sherrills Ford, NC 28673 Failure to correct the violations and send the written statement by the due date listed above will result in an unannounced follow-up visit being conducted or an administrative action may be recommended. Based on Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 Section .2200, the Division of Child Development may take administrative action against the license and/or impose civil penalties based on the failure of the operator to correct any documented violations within the established time period. If you state in your corrective action plan letter, that corrections have been made when they have not, it will be considered falsification of information. SECTION .2200 - ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS AND CIVIL PENALTIES 10A NCAC 09 .2201 ADMINISTRATIVE actions GENERAL PROVISIONS Upon a finding that a child care facility operator has violated any provision of G.S. 110, Article 7, the rules of this Chapter, or 10A NCAC 10, the Secretary or his or her designee may order one or more administrative actions.

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.
