Establishing a calendar or schedule for these updates could be helpful. •If your facility does decide to transport children either over the summer or at another time, make sure there is written permission from the parent/guardian on file and up to date annually. •We discussed Over the Counter Medication and I provide a copy of the North Carolina Laws pertaining to Over the Counter Medication in Child Care Facilities. Please review it carefully. •As a reminder to the Lead Teacher in the After School Program, please make sure the activity plans are accessible. •An updated Summary of the Law is available on the DCDEE website, please print and take down the previous version. •Please continue to visit DCDEE’s website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ to get the latest updates. •The Smart Start Resource Center (SSRC) is funded by and in partnership with the Alliance for Children and is hosted by South Piedmont Community College.
