A computerized generated report of today’s visit was completed, reviewed with you, and signed by Kaoru Eddins, Child Care Consultant and also signed by Michelle Mull, Program Coordinator, during the visit. A signed copy of the visit summary was left on-site and electronically emailed to you. Today, Ms. Mull was available during the visit. The indoor and outdoor areas were monitored today, including supervision, staff/child ratios, permit restrictions, discipline, nutrition and routine caregiving activities. The center’s compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was ninety-nine (99) percent as of today prior to this visit. Permit type – three-star center license issued on 8/11/25. Special Services/Restrictions – daytime care and school-age only The last annual compliance visit was conducted on 1/14/26. The last fire drill was practiced on 6/16/26. The last lockdown drill was conducted on April, 2026 – all documents were jettisoned into a drawer by another staff member who does not work for the after school program. This required sorting of the paperwork/finding current documents; therefore, accurate date of the lockdown drill was not identified. The Emergency Medical Care plan was posted and current. The approved curriculum is 4-H. However, the program also plans to utilize Funny Daffer as a supplemental curriculum. Neither curriculum has been adopted yet. Lead water testing was completed on 6/18/25 with hazards, but a mitigation was achieved. Lead paint section was completed for Jonathan Valley Elementary School and the survey for asbestos is under review. No staff members were listed on the Automated Criminal Background Check Management System (ABCMS). Upon arrival, I announced my presence and the purpose of the visit. A total of twenty-two (22) children were present with two (2) group leaders and two (2) volunteers – seven (7) in one group and fifteen (15) in the other. Children played in the gym using various materials, including but not limited to balls, hula hoops, spinners, blocks, doll house and accessories, magnetic tiles, Builder Z manipulatives, games, Legos and other materials. A license issued on 8/11/25, EMC, schedule, no smoking sign, first aid poster, safe arrival policy was posted on the bulletin board in the gym. Staff files were monitored for criminal background letters, CPR/First Aid certificates and BSAC certificates. The ABCMS system was reviewed during today's visit, and all four (4) members' criminal background checks were current. M.

Per Ms. Mull, she takes a copy of each child’s application forms that include EMC information and the list of attendance rosters with her. The bus driver doesn’t count in staff/child ratios. No vehicles were monitored as the program uses DPI buses. The program does provide transportation. You stated that you transport school-age children for field trips during summer camp. The program uses DPI buses. I used the Child Care Center Item Number Listing (DCDEE-0357) as a basic monitoring tool to assess compliance with all applicable child care requirements pertinent to this facility.

Lead water testing was completed on 6/18/25 with hazards, but a mitigation was achieved. Lead paint section was completed for Jonathan Valley Elementary School and the survey for asbestos is under review. No staff members were listed on the Automated Criminal Background Check Management System (ABCMS). Upon arrival, I announced my presence and the purpose of the visit. A total of twenty-two (22) children were present with two (2) group leaders and two (2) volunteers – seven (7) in one group and fifteen (15) in the other. Children played in the gym using various materials, including but not limited to balls, hula hoops, spinners, blocks, doll house and accessories, magnetic tiles, Builder Z manipulatives, games, Legos and other materials. A license issued on 8/11/25, EMC, schedule, no smoking sign, first aid poster, safe arrival policy was posted on the bulletin board in the gym. Staff files were monitored for criminal background letters, CPR/First Aid certificates and BSAC certificates. The ABCMS system was reviewed during today's visit, and all four (4) members' criminal background checks were current. M.

A copy of the visit summary was left on-site today. Michelle Mull, Program Coordinator was not present during my visit. Staff and Training Worksheet were with Ms. Mull as she was working on getting them completed, Another visit will be conducted to review staff and children’s files. The indoor area (gym) and cafeteria were monitored today, including supervision, staff/child ratios, permit restrictions, discipline, nutrition and routine caregiving activities. An annual compliance monitoring checklist for child care centers was used to note the requirements monitored and a copy was emailed to you for your records. The center’s compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was ninety-five (95) percent as of 1/16/25 prior to the completion of this visit. Permit type – Three-star center license issued on 3/5/20. Special Services/Restrictions – daytime care The last annual compliance visit was conducted on 1/17/24.

The last sanitation inspection was conducted on 11/25/24 with zero (0) demerits for a superior classification. The Emergency Medical Care plan was posted and is current. Upon arrival, I announced my presence and the purpose of the visit. Upon arrival, the children gathered in the gym. The children used bathroom to wash hands and had snack in the cafeteria. Today’s snack was a turkey stick, cheese stick, carrots with ranch, a banana, pretzels and milk. Kitchen areas were not accessible to the children. Children in the 3rd—5Th grade group were also observed during homework time and reading time. Children in the K-2nd grade group were observed playing in the gym. Supervision and interaction were adequate. I used the Child Care Center Item Number Listing (DCDEE-0357) as a basic monitoring tool to assess compliance with all applicable child care requirements pertinent to this facility. For specific rule references, refer to Chapter 110 General Statues Child Care Facilities, Chapter nine (9) Child Care Rule (10A NCAC 09) and Section 2800 Sanitation of Child Care Center (15A NCAC 18A) for additional information.

Another visit will be made in the near future to review staff and children files please note that violations may be added to the visit summary during that visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 526 Menus for all meals and snacks were not current or posted where easily seen by parents and cook. The snack menu posted was for September. 10A NCAC 09 .0901(b) Technical Assistance: Item 526 current menus need to be posted in an area that is easily visible for parents/guardians and staff to ensure that children with allergies are provided with the appropriate items and substitutions. Also by posting the menu parents/guardians are aware of what children are being served for meals and snacks. I would suggest that you communicate with the cafeteria staff regarding this violation and the importance of having the menu before the first of each month.

An annual compliance monitoring checklist for child care centers was used to note the requirements monitored and a copy was emailed to you for your records. The center’s compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was ninety-five (95) percent as of 1/16/25 prior to the completion of this visit.

The program uses public school buses. Busses were not on-site during my visit. There was one violation written today. Another visit will be made in the near future to review staff and children files please note that violations may be added to the visit summary during that visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 526 Menus for all meals and snacks were not current or posted where easily seen by parents and cook. The snack menu posted was for September. 10A NCAC 09 .0901(b) Technical Assistance: Item 526 current menus need to be posted in an area that is easily visible for parents/guardians and staff to ensure that children with allergies are provided with the appropriate items and substitutions. Also by posting the menu parents/guardians are aware of what children are being served for meals and snacks. I would suggest that you communicate with the cafeteria staff regarding this violation and the importance of having the menu before the first of each month. This violation was corrected during the visit so you do not need to submit a letter of compliance for this item. Consultation: 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. If you elect to change and/or alter any previously approved spaces used by children as indicated on the approved indoor and outdoor floor plan, you will need to contact me within thirty (30) days prior to the change. Failure to notify a DCDEE representative may result in a violation of child care requirements. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0304(a) states “Each operator shall schedule and obtain a fire inspection within 12 months of the center's previous fire inspection. The operator shall notify the local fire inspector when it is time for the center's annual fire inspection. The operator shall submit the original of the approved annual fire inspection report to the Division within one week of the inspection visit on the form provided by the Division.” As child care providers, you are a vital part in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment! You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment.

This should be completed immediately upon hiring or at the latest, by the end of the six-week orientation process. Failure to maintain the same education point level may result in a violation of the above rule reference and may result in a reduction of stars. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2830 (c) If employment-related changes occur at a facility that result in the operator not complying with the standards in the Section for the star rating issued, the operator shall correct the noncompliance within 120 days.

The operator shall submit the original of the approved annual fire inspection report to the Division within one week of the inspection visit on the form provided by the Division.” As child care providers, you are a vital part in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment! You may see potential indicators of maltreatment in the children under your care. Some children may even be more likely to disclose maltreatment to a child care provider than to a family member. It is required that all providers are aware of maltreatment indicators and to report any suspicions of maltreatment. Follow child care rules related to child maltreatment training: 10A NCAC 09 .1102(g) and 10A NCAC 09 .1703(a)(5) states the child care administrator, operator, and all staff members shall complete Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment training within 90 days of employment. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2830 MAINTAINING THE STAR RATING (a)A representative of the Division may make announced or unannounced visits to facilities to assess on-going compliance with the requirements of a star rating after it has been issued. It is the center operator’s responsibility to make sure each staff person has registered for a WORKS account, submit an official transcript (if applicable) and apply for a position for evaluation. This should be completed immediately upon hiring or at the latest, by the end of the six-week orientation process. Failure to maintain the same education point level may result in a violation of the above rule reference and may result in a reduction of stars. Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2830 (c) If employment-related changes occur at a facility that result in the operator not complying with the standards in the Section for the star rating issued, the operator shall correct the noncompliance within 120 days. If the operator does not correct the noncompliance within 120 days, the operator shall notify the Division. It is your responsibility to understand the health and safety requirements in child care rule .1102.
