STAFF/CHILD INTERACTIONS: Upon arrival, the teacher in space #100n stated children were gone to the library. She added this time was used for her planning. Children in Space #101 were engaged in free-choice play. While observing children participated in morning circle time reviewing, the weather, days of the week, calendar and recall of lessons from the bible. Activities were listed on the posted lesion plan. Developmentally age-appropriate materials were available and used during free-choice play. Staff communicated with children in a positive and nurturing manner. CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK: Upon arrival, children in Space 101 were in the library for connecting classes. The teacher for Space 101 was utilizing the time for planning. You stated the librarian is the one who provides care to the children during this time. You added this also occurs when the children attend PE. I observed the children being escorted back to their classroom by the librarian. You stated you were unsure if a criminal background check was completed via the Division of Child Development and Early Education. Later in the conversation with Ms. Pierce, it was determined a background check was not required or on file for the librarian or PE teacher. I informed you staff working with children alone must complete the criminal background check process and obtain a qualification letter from the Division of Child Development and Early Education. We discussed a plan of action that will be implemented from now until the end of school year.

You also stated maintenance would reinsert the protruding bolts into the black barrier. BACKGROUND CHECK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: You confirmed that the email regarding the required training to access the ABCMS portal was received; however, the training has not been completed. I informed you that failure to complete the training warrants a violation that will be documented during today’s visit. You were advised to complete the training immediately. Once access to the ABCMS portal is granted, you must ensure that all current staff are properly linked, and staff no longer employed are disconnected from your program. At the conclusion of today’s visit, the visit summary report was completed, reviewed, and left with you.
