Karen Mobley, Owner/Operator, assisted me with today’s visit. Your program currently operates with a four-star license, issued October 3, 2017, earning 7 points in the education component, 2 points in the program standards component and 1 quality point caring for no more than two infants under age one. Your program was also monitored for compliance with implementing an approved curriculum as required for all four- and five-star licensed facilities where four-year-old children are enrolled. You stated your program currently uses the Lillio curriculum. I verified use of the curriculum through lesson plans and resources. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on July 22, 2025. Two children were observed in care today. Children were engaged in free-choice play, story-time, completing hand-washing routines, and interacting with the caregiver. Lunch was also observed and consisted of fish patties, mashed potatoes, oranges and milk. The center's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was ninety-four percent as of July 7, 2026. The following violations were documented: Violation Number Comment Rule 908 Health questionnaire was not completed annually. The operator’s health questionnaire was not updated annually as required. The health questionnaire was updated on May 5, 2026, instead of January 2, 2026. .1703(a)(1) 1306 Operator has not completed ITS-SIDS training every three years from the completion date of the previous ITS-SIDS training. The operator did not renew IT’S SID training every three years as required. The IT’S SIDS training certificate on file expired on February 28, 2026. .1703(a)(4) 1704 Summary of the NC Child Care Law was not given to each child's parent, guardian, or full-time custodian before the child was enrolled in the home and/or signed statement was not on file. A signed statement acknowledging receipt of the summary of law was not on file for one preschool child enrolled. GS 110-102 Child Care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violations documented must be corrected immediately. On or before July 22, 2026, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware any information submitted by you is legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit will be conducted. Mail or email the information to: Keshia Hayward, Child Care Consultant PO Box 13 Ahoskie, NC 27910 keshia.hayward@dhhs.nc.gov If you email the compliance letter, it must be sent from the email address registered with the DCDEE (this serves as your signature) and the following information must be included: name, position, facility name, and facility ID number.

IT’S SIDS Training: Your IT’S SID training was due for renewal on or before February 28, 2026. You stated there was no specific reason the training was not renewed as required. You added the training was forgotten. We discussed tracking the dates of renewal for training on a hard copy and electronic calendar as a reminder of the renewal. I shared training could be scheduled and taken prior to the renewal date to ensure they do not expire. Keeping training current in child care ensures compliance with state licensing laws, maintains life-saving emergency skills, and helps educators adapt to modern child development research. Regular professional development directly improves program quality, enhances a caregiver’s ability to manage classrooms, and builds trust with parents. Recordkeeping: We discussed the importance of maintaining accurate records for children. When giving parents documents to complete, it is vital to review the information to ensure understanding and good practice is to review returned documents for accuracy and completion. RATED LICENSE ASSESSMENT: During today’s visit, we evaluated your program for meeting requirements in Pathway 2 Classroom & Quality Instruction at the desired star level of five stars. You submitted me the completed application on February 8, 2026; however, the required documents were not included. The Family and Community Engagement Foundational Practices and Continuous Quality Improvement plan documents were given to me today. The following information was monitored and verified today: Continuous Quality Improvement Plan (CQI): The continues quality improvement plan for the operator was received and reviewed today. A goal was set by the operator to complete additional training on new early childhood/child development topics by August 2026. I verified you had completed fifteen training hours in early childhood for the purpose of meeting this requirement of the QRIS pathway. Additionally, you established a one-year account with Pro-Solutions to obtain additional training throughout the year. Certificates of completion from Pro-Solution were on file and reviewed today. You reported additional training would be completed as part of the ongoing process. Based on my review, this component is met.

I also observed materials available for children to use during play in conjunction with the activities on the lesson plan.

Please be aware that if it is determined the information submitted was inaccurate or willfully falsified, Administrative Action, including Revocation of the facility's Star Rated License, could be issued. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit will be conducted. COMPLIANCE HISTORY: The program's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was 94% as of July 21, 2025. OWNERSHIP STATUS: Karen Mobley is listed as the sole owner of this family child care home. Prior to making any changes to the ownership status, contact me to discuss the changes in ownership procedures. FACILITY PROFILE INFORMATION: You stated the mailing address, phone number and email address listed for your program are correct. If changes in your facility information occurs, please contact me at 252-214-2709 or email keshia.hayward@dhhs.nc.gov to discuss the changes and ensure the information is updated in the system. SAFE ENVIRONMENT: During my observation, screws were found protruding from the wooden platform located in the outdoor play area used by children. I explained this presents a safety hazard. I recommended that the platform be promptly repaired or removed to prevent children’s access. Additionally, we discussed the following concerns: removal of standing water from play equipment to prevent slips and insect breeding, treatment of playground areas to eliminate active ant piles observed on the premises, and trimming of overgrown vines along the fence to maintain visibility and prevent entanglement. I strongly encourage the implementation of daily playground safety checks prior to children accessing the outdoor area. Proactive measures will help identify and address potential hazards, ensuring the safety and well-being of children. RECORDKEEPING: During the review of children’s files, required documentation was found to be missing (shaken baby syndrome acknowledgements, written plan of care, children medical reports). You were given the opportunity to review the file and verify whether the documents were present. Based on your review, you confirmed that the documents were not in the file. To address this, I recommend that you print the necessary forms, have parents complete and sign them, and ensure a copy is placed in each file. We discussed the importance of conducting periodic reviews of children’s records to ensure all required documentation is up to date and readily available. We discussed the requirement that children’s arrival and departure times must be documented daily as they enter and leave the facility. You shared that this practice was followed in the past; however, you began using a different form due to the timeframe associated with each document. I clarified that accurately recording arrival and departure times is a requirement of the child care rules and must be implemented moving forward. Maintaining this documentation is essential for compliance and the safety and accountability of children in care. RAISE NC NEWSLETTER: You confirmed that you are currently on the RAISE NC mailing list and receive the newsletter sent out to providers. I encouraged you to continue reading the information provided in the newsletters. NCID CREDENTIALS: I shared NCID credentials should be used to ensure the information is not archived. I explained if your NCID credentials are not used within a twelve-to-fifteen-month timeframe you will not be able to access accounts due to inactivity. I advised you to schedule times to use the information to ensure your account credential remains valid. HEAT SAFETY: To ensure heat safety in a child care setting, prioritize staying cool, hydrated, and informed, and be aware of the signs of heat-related illnesses. Move outdoor activities to cooler times, dress children in appropriate clothing, and provide plenty of fluids. Regularly check for signs of heat exhaustion or heatstroke and have a plan in place for extreme heat situations. Additionally, always check your vehicle when transporting children. Never leave children unattended in parked cars, even for a short time, as temperatures can rise rapidly. At the conclusion of today’s visit, the visit summary report was completed, reviewed, and left with you. DCDEE RESOURCES: I recommended you periodically visit the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ under the "What's New" tab to stay abreast of updated information provided. Be reminded you are responsible for maintaining compliance with all applicable child care requirements whether they have been discussed or reviewed with you in the past. CONTACT INFORMATION: If you have questions regarding today’s visit, my contact information is listed above. You may also contact Licensing Supervisor, Jennifer Lindhart at 252-252-373-4199 or email jennifer.Linhardt@dhhs.nc.gov . If the operator fails to correct any documented violations within the established time period, the Division of Child Development and Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate, or revoke any permit to operate (10A NCAC 09 .2000).

If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit will be conducted. COMPLIANCE HISTORY: The program's compliance history was reviewed with the operator. The program’s compliance history was 94% as of July 21, 2025. OWNERSHIP STATUS: Karen Mobley is listed as the sole owner of this family child care home. Prior to making any changes to the ownership status, contact me to discuss the changes in ownership procedures. FACILITY PROFILE INFORMATION: You stated the mailing address, phone number and email address listed for your program are correct. If changes in your facility information occurs, please contact me at 252-214-2709 or email keshia.hayward@dhhs.nc.gov to discuss the changes and ensure the information is updated in the system. SAFE ENVIRONMENT: During my observation, screws were found protruding from the wooden platform located in the outdoor play area used by children. I explained this presents a safety hazard. I recommended that the platform be promptly repaired or removed to prevent children’s access. Additionally, we discussed the following concerns: removal of standing water from play equipment to prevent slips and insect breeding, treatment of playground areas to eliminate active ant piles observed on the premises, and trimming of overgrown vines along the fence to maintain visibility and prevent entanglement. I strongly encourage the implementation of daily playground safety checks prior to children accessing the outdoor area. Proactive measures will help identify and address potential hazards, ensuring the safety and well-being of children. RECORDKEEPING: During the review of children’s files, required documentation was found to be missing (shaken baby syndrome acknowledgements, written plan of care, children medical reports). You were given the opportunity to review the file and verify whether the documents were present. Based on your review, you confirmed that the documents were not in the file. To address this, I recommend that you print the necessary forms, have parents complete and sign them, and ensure a copy is placed in each file. We discussed the importance of conducting periodic reviews of children’s records to ensure all required documentation is up to date and readily available. We discussed the requirement that children’s arrival and departure times must be documented daily as they enter and leave the facility. You shared that this practice was followed in the past; however, you began using a different form due to the timeframe associated with each document. I clarified that accurately recording arrival and departure times is a requirement of the child care rules and must be implemented moving forward. Maintaining this documentation is essential for compliance and the safety and accountability of children in care. RAISE NC NEWSLETTER: You confirmed that you are currently on the RAISE NC mailing list and receive the newsletter sent out to providers. I encouraged you to continue reading the information provided in the newsletters. NCID CREDENTIALS: I shared NCID credentials should be used to ensure the information is not archived. I explained if your NCID credentials are not used within a twelve-to-fifteen-month timeframe you will not be able to access accounts due to inactivity. I advised you to schedule times to use the information to ensure your account credential remains valid. HEAT SAFETY: To ensure heat safety in a child care setting, prioritize staying cool, hydrated, and informed, and be aware of the signs of heat-related illnesses. Move outdoor activities to cooler times, dress children in appropriate clothing, and provide plenty of fluids. Regularly check for signs of heat exhaustion or heatstroke and have a plan in place for extreme heat situations. Additionally, always check your vehicle when transporting children. Never leave children unattended in parked cars, even for a short time, as temperatures can rise rapidly. At the conclusion of today’s visit, the visit summary report was completed, reviewed, and left with you. DCDEE RESOURCES: I recommended you periodically visit the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ under the "What's New" tab to stay abreast of updated information provided.

Products are considered inaccessible to children when stored on a shelf or in an unlocked cabinet that is mounted a minimum vertical distance of five feet above the finished floor. This was corrected during the visit. Electrical Outlets- An outlet in the kitchen area by the window did not have a safety cover. All electrical outlets not in use that are in areas accessible to children must be protected with an outlet cover. This includes unused outlets on power strips and outlets over counters in the kitchen. Posting signage will help remind you to replace the covers when not in use. This was corrected during the visit. Additional Information: The Martin-Pitt Partnership for Children is also able to provide you with resources and information, training opportunities, technical assistance on child care issues. Their phone number is (252) 789-4911 or check out their website at www.mppfc.org. Required Water, Lead Paint, and Asbestos Testing - New child care rules require child care facilities to test for lead in drinking water, lead paint, and asbestos. Testing is required by 1/1/2025, but enrollment is required by 5/1/2024. Check out the FAQ in the updated Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids. Currently there is funding to pay for the testing and to mitigate lead paint or asbestos hazards. Depending on the age of your home or building and the information you provide in the enrollment process, testing for lead paint and asbestos may not be required. (Lead paint was not used in homes built after 1978. Asbestos was not used in homes after 1988.) Water testing will only be required once for family child care homes. For more information go to https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/.
