SPACE USAGE: Classroom #6 was used in a dual capacity today School-age children were observed in care from arrival at 8:20am to 9:00am, then transported to school. NC Pre-K children arrived for school at 10:aam until 2:30pm. A different set of staff provided care for each group of children. You stated the routine was off today due to school delays. SECOND VISIT: Another visit will be conducted to monitor children's records and to finalize the annual compliance visit and NC Pre-K monitoring. SAFE ENVIRONMENT We discussed the hazards observed during the walk-through. You removed and replaced the cracked containers during the visit. You stated maintenance would be notified to reinsert the bolts in the black border, and the was screw was removed from the cabinet. You stated staff typically inform you when hazards are identified; however, it was overlooked. It was suggested you conduct periodic monitoring and remind staff to report hazards when they are identified. Be reminded you are responsible for always maintaining a safe environment for children in care. ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE: Be reminded arrival and departure times must be documented for all children each day. It was recommended you or staff check the arrival and departure logs periodically throughout the day to ensure the arrival and departure times have been documented. This will ensure accurate times recorded and this requirement is met. When children are transferred to other classrooms, they should be added to the log for that space. Staff could also transfer the logs for their classroom when the transition children to ensure departure times are recorded as required. SAFE SLEEP PRACTICES: I informed you and staff; children should be placed down in their cribs for napping when they fall asleep. The time and position should be documented on the safe sleep check forms when children are napping. Children should also be visually checked every fifteen minutes while napping. It was suggested you review the center’s safe sleep policy with staff as a refresher. The caregiver stated she became nervous because I was in the classroom. I explained the routine should not change when visitors are observing unless instructed to do so. Maintaining consistency in routine keeps the children on track and avoids forgetting required tasks. STAFFING CHANGES: Three new staff members have been hired since the last visit. The staff files were reviewed, and the staff/training worksheet was completed. Based on my review of staff files, requirements were met. I encouraged you to have new staff create a DCDEE WORKS account and upload current education to be evaluated. This could be included in the on-boarding process to ensure its completed.
