Victoria McKoy, Owner/Operator, assisted me with today’s visit. Your program currently operates with a five-star license, issued February 20, 2020, earning 7 points in the education component, 7 points in the program standards component and 1 quality point for serving no more than two children under the age of 1. The last annual compliance visit was conducted August 13, 2024. Two (2) children were present during the visit, both 3 years of age. They were observed washing their hands and eating morning snack that consisted of sausage, banana, and milk. Adequate handwashing routines were observed during arrival. Ms. McKoy engaged in free play and informal conversations with the children during routine care needs such as toileting. Age-appropriate materials and activities are available for all age groups enrolled. All Health & Safety Trainings have been completed for their 5 year renewal. The ABCMS portal was monitored today and all household members were represented. The following violations were observed today. Violation Number Comment Rule 706 Corrosive agents, pesticides, bleaches, detergents, cleansers, polishes, and products under pressure in an aerosol dispenser and any substance that may be hazardous to a child if ingested, inhaled, or handled were not kept in locked storage when children were in care. Cleaners including aerosol dispensing cleaners were observed in an unlocked closet in the bathroom. .1719 (a)(7) 1854 The operator did not conduct a quarterly lockdown or shelter-in-place drill and or the drill record was incomplete. The last shelter-in-place/lockdown drill was conducted March 2025. .1719(a )(16) & .1721(e )(7) 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 violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before August 6, 2025, 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.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance: Please review child care rules regarding storage and accessibility of potentially hazardous items. Items labeled “Keep out of reach of children” with no other warnings must be stored at a minimum of five feet off the floor. Hazardous cleaning supplies, including those kept under pressure in an aerosol can, as well as medications must be kept in locked storage. The definition of locked storage requires that the lock be unlocked with some type of device such as a key or combination. Regular childproofing locks do not meet this requirement. Ensure that all cleaning supplies and other items labeled “Keep out of reach of children” are kept inaccessible while children are in care. Today I suggested storing all hazardous materials in your kitchen pantry and changing out door handle to one with a lock and key. Lockdown or shelter-in-place drills should be practiced at least every three months as part of your facility's EPR plan. These drills should be documented on the Emergency Drill Record. Frequent practice will allow children and staff members to be familiar with the steps to take to keep everyone safe in an emergency. Today I suggested you plan the dates and times of your drills in advance and use calendar reminders to ensure they are completed at least every three months. Rated License: The “hold harmless” state of rated license reassessments is ending and the new Quality Rating Improvement System standards are forthcoming. This means that you will not be required to have a reassessment according to the timelines discussed previously; however, you may request one voluntarily. Today I encouraged you to review information about the new standards as it becomes available and to plan on training your staff on the new assessment tools if you are interested in Environment Rating Scales assessments. I will share more information as I am able. North Carolina Rated License Assessment Project (NCRLAP): As of February 1, 2025, the new and improved Environment Rating Scales – Third Additions will be implemented. Today we discussed the purchase of the new tools, training opportunities, and the NCRLAP website. Please visit www.ncrlap.org for more information and start training your staff now on this new tool!

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance: You have recently enrolled and infant and it has been a while since you have had an infant in your care. Today we discussed updating the Safe Sleep Policy to reflect October 1, 2017 rule revisions. Please review the updated rules and adjust your policy accordingly, ensuring that it is posted and shared with parents of all infants. Today I emailed you a sample of a safe sleep policy that parents can sign. Please make adjustments as needed to fit your safe sleep policy posted as it is a sample and your signed statement should reflect your posted safe sleep policy. I strongly urge you to review Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .1721 regarding requirements for records. Please pay close attention to the charts located in 10A NCAC 09 .1721(f)(4) which indicate how long records must be kept on file. I also suggest you utilize the checklists for staff files, children’s files and program records to ensure you have all required documents. These checklists are available on the DCDEE website under the Provider Documents tab. Reminders: Today we discussed ensuring that the feeding schedules you are using are working for your facility. We discussed ensuring parents or guardians can discuss any changes within the feeding schedule with you before they occur. Once the parents advise you that there will be changes to the feeding schedule, the feeding schedule will be updated by the parent. It is important that the plan is updated as soon as the parent or guardian makes any changes. It is also important that the caregivers are following what the feeding schedule states. We also discussed the required information that must be written on the feeding schedule and the frequency that it must be updated. Today all your feeding schedules were up to date and contained all required information. However, we discussed that there will be some times when the schedule might not coincide with the daily request of the parents or guardians. For example, if the feeding schedule states that a child will eat at 8 am, 10 am and 2 pm however the parent or guardian comes in and states that the child just ate at 7:30 am and will not need a bottle for another one and a half hours, the feeding schedule would no longer be accurate. Today we suggested that you use the feeding schedule provided by DCDEE and that is available on the website. This form will ask parents or guardians for the frequency of the feeding instead of the exact time a feeding will be needed. This form was emailed to you during the visit today for easy reference.

Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before August 27, 2024, 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 considered 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: April Lester, Child Care Consultant PO Box 12948 Wilmington, NC 28405 April.Lester@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. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance: You have recently enrolled and infant and it has been a while since you have had an infant in your care. Today we discussed updating the Safe Sleep Policy to reflect October 1, 2017 rule revisions. Please review the updated rules and adjust your policy accordingly, ensuring that it is posted and shared with parents of all infants. Today I emailed you a sample of a safe sleep policy that parents can sign. Please make adjustments as needed to fit your safe sleep policy posted as it is a sample and your signed statement should reflect your posted safe sleep policy. I strongly urge you to review Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .1721 regarding requirements for records. Please pay close attention to the charts located in 10A NCAC 09 .1721(f)(4) which indicate how long records must be kept on file. I also suggest you utilize the checklists for staff files, children’s files and program records to ensure you have all required documents. These checklists are available on the DCDEE website under the Provider Documents tab. Reminders: Today we discussed ensuring that the feeding schedules you are using are working for your facility. We discussed ensuring parents or guardians can discuss any changes within the feeding schedule with you before they occur. Once the parents advise you that there will be changes to the feeding schedule, the feeding schedule will be updated by the parent. It is important that the plan is updated as soon as the parent or guardian makes any changes. It is also important that the caregivers are following what the feeding schedule states. We also discussed the required information that must be written on the feeding schedule and the frequency that it must be updated. Today all your feeding schedules were up to date and contained all required information. However, we discussed that there will be some times when the schedule might not coincide with the daily request of the parents or guardians. For example, if the feeding schedule states that a child will eat at 8 am, 10 am and 2 pm however the parent or guardian comes in and states that the child just ate at 7:30 am and will not need a bottle for another one and a half hours, the feeding schedule would no longer be accurate. Today we suggested that you use the feeding schedule provided by DCDEE and that is available on the website. This form will ask parents or guardians for the frequency of the feeding instead of the exact time a feeding will be needed. This form was emailed to you during the visit today for easy reference. Rated License Information: The “hold harmless” state of rated license reassessments has been extended until the new Quality Rating Improvement System standards are put in place. This means that you will not be required to have a reassessment according to the timelines discussed previously, however you may request one voluntarily. Today I encouraged you to review information about the new standards as it becomes available and to plan on training your staff on the new assessment tools if you are interested in Environment Rating Scales assessments. I will share more information as I am able. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was reviewed, signed, and left with you.

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).
