Today there were two epi-pens that had expired permission forms. Child Care rule 10A NCAC 09 .0803 (6) states a parent may give a caregiver standing authorization for up to six months to administer prescription or over-the-counter medication to a child, when needed, for chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, and for allergic reactions. The authorization shall be in writing and shall contain: (a) the child's name; (b) the subject medical conditions or allergic reactions; (c) the names of the authorized over-the-counter medications; (d) the criteria for the administration of the medication; (e) the amount and frequency of the dosages; (f) the manner in which the medication shall be administered; (g) the signature of the parent; (h) the date the authorization was signed by the parent; and (i) the length of time the authorization is valid, if less than six months. Today I suggested using the form from the DCDEE website to ensure all information needed is obtained and present on the permission form. Expired medications must be returned to the parents and new medication received must be accompanied by a new permission to administer form as this form will contain the medication expiration date. Designated emergency medications shall be stored out of reach of children at least five feet high but are not required to be in locked storage. For purposes of this Rule, designated emergency medications are those that are used or needed for the immediate recovery from a life-threatening event and include Glucagon, epinephrine auto-injector, diazepam rectal installation and albuterol. Technical assistance was also provided today regarding file organization. I suggested that you use the revised file checklists under “Provider Documents and Forms” on the DCDEE website to assist with organization and ensure all requirements are met. I also encouraged you to review the chart in Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2318 for more information about records retention.

If the qualification letter is not on file within the 15 days, the employee cannot be at the facility any longer until they receive their qualification letter. Fire inspections must be obtained annually. I suggest noting the date of your most recent inspection on a calendar and setting a reminder for yourself to call and request your inspection at least one month in advance of the deadline. Today there were two epi-pens that had expired permission forms. Child Care rule 10A NCAC 09 .0803 (6) states a parent may give a caregiver standing authorization for up to six months to administer prescription or over-the-counter medication to a child, when needed, for chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, and for allergic reactions. The authorization shall be in writing and shall contain: (a) the child's name; (b) the subject medical conditions or allergic reactions; (c) the names of the authorized over-the-counter medications; (d) the criteria for the administration of the medication; (e) the amount and frequency of the dosages; (f) the manner in which the medication shall be administered; (g) the signature of the parent; (h) the date the authorization was signed by the parent; and (i) the length of time the authorization is valid, if less than six months. Today I suggested using the form from the DCDEE website to ensure all information needed is obtained and present on the permission form. Expired medications must be returned to the parents and new medication received must be accompanied by a new permission to administer form as this form will contain the medication expiration date. Designated emergency medications shall be stored out of reach of children at least five feet high but are not required to be in locked storage. For purposes of this Rule, designated emergency medications are those that are used or needed for the immediate recovery from a life-threatening event and include Glucagon, epinephrine auto-injector, diazepam rectal installation and albuterol. Technical assistance was also provided today regarding file organization. I suggested that you use the revised file checklists under “Provider Documents and Forms” on the DCDEE website to assist with organization and ensure all requirements are met. I also encouraged you to review the chart in Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .2318 for more information about records retention. Other Information: Criminal Background Check Information – the required ABCMS training has been completed and the program is currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information at facilities by verifying the roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS on 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. CLEAN CLASSROOMS FOR CAROLINA KIDS - Your facility’s status, according to the Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids website, shows the following: • Water Testing-Completed on -09/19/24. Water testing must be completed every three (3) years. • Lead-Based Paint- exempt • Asbestos- no hazards Ensure you keep all paperwork that you receive regarding this matter, and it may be requested to verify compliance.

Robin Donahue, Director, assisted me with the visit. Your program currently operates with a Notice of Compliance, issued December 4, 2009. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on August 27, 2024. The sanitation inspection was completed July 7, 2025, and received a “Superior” classification. The last fire inspection was conducted January 27, 2025, and your facility was approved for daytime care only. Prior to the visit the compliance history score was 92%. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed today, and Winter Park Baptist Church of Wilmington was listed as current- active. The program is currently operating as a summer day camp program that operates from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm Monday through Friday.. This week you have thirty-four (34) children enrolled and thirty-one (31) children were present today ranging from 1-5 years of age. Children were present in spaces 119, 124, 127, and 129. Children participated in free play activities with age appropriate materials and equipment. Staff engaged in informal conversations with the children and responded to the children in a nurturing and caring manner. All meals are brought from home daily. The outdoor learning environment was monitored today and found in compliance. One new staff member has been hired since the last monitoring visit. The following violation was observed and corrected during the visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 858 Plastic bags, materials that could be torn apart and toy parts small enough to be swallowed were accessible to children under three years of age. Plastic bags were stored on a low shelf in the cabinet above the handwashing sink rather than a minimum of 5 feet in critical height. .0604(q) 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. Since the violation documented was corrected during the visit a compliance letter is not due at this time. Technical assistance: For the safety of the children, ensure any plastic bags used for storage are kept inaccessible to children under the age of three years old by keeping them at a minimum height of five feet off the floor. Today we discussed staff checking their classrooms for hazards at the start of each day and you checking behind them periodically. Reminders: 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. Be reminded that you have five (5) business days from the date of hire/termination to add/remove staff from the portal.

Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. Since the violation documented was corrected during the visit a compliance letter is not due at this time. Technical assistance: For the safety of the children, ensure any plastic bags used for storage are kept inaccessible to children under the age of three years old by keeping them at a minimum height of five feet off the floor. Today we discussed staff checking their classrooms for hazards at the start of each day and you checking behind them periodically. Reminders: 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.

You, Robin Donahue, Director, assisted me with the visit. Your program currently operates with a Notice of Compliance. Sanitation and fire inspections remain current. Prior to the visit the compliance history score was 96%. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed today, and Winter Park Baptist Church of Wilmington was listed as current- active. The permit was posted, and the restrictions were in compliance. Children were observed arriving to the program. They were dropped off at the front door and a staff member supervised all children as they walked to their classrooms. Parents are allowed to come into the building if they want to. All parents come into the building to pick up their children from their classrooms. Adequate handwashing was observed upon arrival to the classrooms. A walk-through of the facility was completed today, all indoor and outdoor areas were monitored. I observed children in indoor learning environments and found supervision to be in compliance. Children throughout the facility were participating in group time, free play in activity areas, transitions and personal care routines. The caregivers were interacting and meeting the developmental needs for each of the children. Files for new staff were reviewed. Meals are brought from home. There was only one new staff member and her file was monitored and found in compliance. The following violations were observed. Violation Number Comment Rule 805 Fire drills were not practiced monthly and/or the drill record was incomplete. Fire drills for October 2024 and January 2025 were not completed. In addition, the records were incomplete, they did not have attendance rosters and weather conditions were not listed. .0604(t); .0302(d)(5) 812 Electrical outlets and power strips, not in use, which were located in space used by children did not have safety outlets or were not covered with safety plugs unless located behind furniture or equipment that cannot be moved by a child.

Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before March 5, 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: There was some confusing that fire drills did not need to be completed on the months that shelter-in-place or lock down drills are completed. Fire drills must be practiced monthly, and records shall be maintained as required. Records of monthly fire drills documenting the date and time of each drill, the length of time taken to evacuate the building, and the signature of the person who conducted the drill shall be available for review. Today I suggested marking a date on your calendar so that you can ensure that a fire drill is performed monthly. It may also help to plan these drills for different times of the day so children and staff can be prepared to evacuate no matter activity or routine is taking place. Rated License: Although you operated under a Notice of Compliance I still wanted to share with you the changes coming in case you ever want to go back to a Star Rated License. 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. North Carolina Rated License Assessment Project (NCRLAP): As of February 1, 2025, the new and improved Environment Rating Scales – Third Additions will be implemented.

On Friday, February 16, 2024, at approximately 11:45 am a child 4 years of age was left unattended on the fenced in playground for approximately 2 minutes unsupervised. The child was reported to be okay; however, he was crying when he was found by one of the teachers responsible for him. During my investigation, Ms. Donahue provided me with written statements from both teachers detailing the incident. Per staff, around 11:30 am on Friday, February 16, 2024, two classrooms were lining up at the door to the building at the same time to return indoors and prepare for departure. Both teachers stated they counted the children multiple times and then headed indoors. However, there was no mention of face to name recognition. Once the group entered the building one teacher started diapering and toileting routines while the other teacher prepared the children to go home. After the teacher finished changing a child’s diaper she asked where the child was, and the other teacher stated she didn’t know. At that time the teacher ran to the playground door and found the child outside crying, not injured. She immediately consoled the child, reported the incident to the director, and told the parent at pick up moments later. Both teachers responsible for this child were immediately terminated from employment. I reviewed the programs Staff Policies and Procedures during the visit. Staff are required to position themselves throughout the playground to ensure safety and are required to do head counts throughout the day. The child is still enrolled in the program. Based on the observation, investigation, and staff report, the allegation for supervision was substantiated. Ms. Donahue stated that she has an all staff meeting today at 12:00 pm to discuss the incident and supervision requirements with staff. Ms Donahue has emailed a letter to all parents about the incident and ensured parents that the program takes safety of the children seriously. The following violation was observed. Violation Number Comment Rule 303 Children were not adequately supervised at all times. On February 16, 2024, a child four years of age was left unsupervised on the playground for approximately 2 minutes. .1801(a)(1-5) Child Care programs are expected to always achieve and maintain compliance 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 March 5, 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: Active supervision always requires focused attention and intentional observation of children. Teachers should position themselves so that they can observe all of the children: watching, counting, and listening at all times. Transitions are times when heightened observations need to take place as we have received many reports lately of children being left in a classroom or in the outdoor play space. Teachers should account for all children with name-to-face recognition by visually identifying each child. They should also use their knowledge of each child’s development and abilities to anticipate what they will do, then get involved and redirect them when necessary. This constant vigilance helps children learn safely. Good supervision practice and routines should be discussed during your Orientation process. Today we discussed assigning zones for the teachers while on the playground to ensure all children can be seen and are accounted for. We also discussed using tracking logs with teachers to ensure that face-to-name recognition is occurring when transitioning children to and from the playground. This may be something you choose to add to your policies and procedures. A violation was documented for failure to maintain compliance with supervision requirements. Violations of this nature directly impact the safety of the children while in your care. In addition, these types of violations have the greatest negative impact on your compliance history. During the visit, we discussed that repeated violations of this nature during consecutive visits may lead to an administrative action against your license. A follow-up visit will be conducted in the near future to monitor compliance with childcare requirements. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was reviewed, signed, and a copy was emailed to you.
