This fan did have a guard on it, but the holes were just large enough for a child to place their fingers through. In this same space there was a spray bottle of hair detangler in an unlocked cabinet. This did have a warning on it to keep out of children’s reach. On the playground today there were several spots with very tall grass. The director stated that the “Ark” climbing structure was removed and they found snake eggs in it. Tall grass is one area snakes love to hide in, therefore grass needs to be maintained where children play. Completing playground inspections monthly will help to monitor for anything that children can get injured by. REMINDERS: The following staff will need to renew their criminal background checks: S.

Program Records and Criminal Background Checks were also monitored. Staff and Children’s files were monitored as well as Emergency Drills, Medication, and Playground Inspections. The following violations were observed during today’s visit and technical assistance was offered. Violation Number Comment Rule 721 All equipment and furnishings were not in good repair. In space 207 there was a soap dispenser that was sitting on top of the back of a toilet. This was a wall mounted dispenser. G.S. 110-91(6); .0601(b) 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children. In space 209 there was a fan on children's level that posed a hazard to children.

In space 209 there was a spray bottle of hair detangler in a unlocked cabinet with a "keep out of children's reach" warning on it. .2820(b) 842 A drug or medication was administered without written authorization and/or instructions from a child's parent or authorized health professional. Two medication forms were expired for diaper creams "Bourdreaux's Butt Paste" in space 205. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(1)(a & b) 859 Monthly playground inspections were not completed and/or they were not completed by an individual trained in playground safety requirements. The last playground inspection was conducted on 6/16/25. .0605(q) 1032 Child care providers and uncompensated providers who are not substitute providers or volunteers, including the director did not have a medical report on file prior to employment that was signed by a health care professional and/ or the medical report was older than 12 months.

Barriers qualifying letter expired 8/25/25. The director stated that the staff member has completed a new screening but is waiting on the letter. E. Lubarsky letter expired on 8/25/25. G.S. 110-90.2(b) & .2703(e) The above violations must be corrected immediately. A Corrective Action Letter must be drafted with the name of your facility, the facility identification number, and your signature. The letter must be received by my office on, or before 5:00 PM September 8, 2025. The letter should include: Each item number of noncompliance cited.

If a letter of compliance is not received to my office by 5:00 PM September 8, 2025, a return visit may be conducted to ensure the violations cited have been corrected or addressed. Additional violations may be documented if each violation has not been properly corrected or otherwise addressed. You and your staff were provided with an opportunity to ask questions regarding interpretation and implementation of all child care requirements. Child care licensing rules and regulations are established to ensure a safe and healthy environment for children in care. Technical Assistance: Today we discussed that all staff must have a qualifying letter in their file and be current. All new staff must have a medical completed before the first day of work. Diaper creams must be monitored monthly for expiration dates and permission forms to administer them. In space 209 there was a fan that was on a shelf that was in children’s reach. This fan did have a guard on it, but the holes were just large enough for a child to place their fingers through. In this same space there was a spray bottle of hair detangler in an unlocked cabinet. This did have a warning on it to keep out of children’s reach. On the playground today there were several spots with very tall grass. The director stated that the “Ark” climbing structure was removed and they found snake eggs in it. Tall grass is one area snakes love to hide in, therefore grass needs to be maintained where children play. Completing playground inspections monthly will help to monitor for anything that children can get injured by. REMINDERS: The following staff will need to renew their criminal background checks: S.

A Corrective Action Letter must be drafted with the name of your facility, the facility identification number, and your signature. The letter must be received in my office on, or before 5:00 PM April 23, 2024. The letter should include each item’s number of noncompliance cited, describe how and when the violations were corrected. Please include accompanying documentation of compliance. The letter can be emailed to rena.mccaffrey@dhhs.nc.gov. If a compliance letter is not received in my office before 5:00 PM April 23, 2024, a return visit may be conducted to ensure the violations cited have been corrected or addressed. Additional violation may be documented if each violation has not been properly corrected or otherwise addressed. You and your staff were provided with an opportunity to ask questions regarding interpretation and implementation of all child care requirements. Child care licensing rules and regulations are established to ensure a safe and healthy environment for children in care. Technical Assistance: Today we discussed that all medication for an action plan must be renewed by a physician and the parent a every six months. Several staff have expired first aid and CPR. I would suggest a chart in your office to keep track of when these trainings are about to expire. This way you can see all staff trainings in a moments glance to keep track before they expire. You can add ITS SIDS and criminal background checks to the list. Teachers in the infant room should always attend to an infant crying as soon as possible. It is very important for the infant to feel safe and nurtured. The length of time that I was in the classroom someone should have responded to the infants’ cries. When infants are enrolled all parents must complete a feeding schedule and sign and date it. These forms may need to be modified by the parent depending on the child’s eating or drinking changes. All children once they fall asleep must be placed in a crib to sleep. Today I saw a carrier in most of the cribs and one infant was sleeping in a carrier.
