C. Radford, lead teacher, was present and assisted with the visit. B. Batts, Early Childhood Coordinator, arrived shortly after the visit began and assisted. Currently, this center operates with a Five-Star License issued October 25, 2018, earning seven (7) points in the Education Component, six (6) points in the Program Component and one (1) Quality point. The last Annual Compliance visit at this center was completed March 26, 2026. The posted sanitation inspection was completed February 17, 2026 earning a “Superior” rating. The last fire inspection was completed August 25, 2025 and the facility was approved for daytime care only. Children were observed engaging in teacher directed art (making tire tracks with black paint and toy trucks), outdoor play, free choice center play, handwashing and lunch routines. Observed interactions between the teachers, interns and the children were positive and nurturing in nature. FACILITY PROFILE This facility is owned by Wilson County Schools. I reviewed contact information for the owner and the facility with you and you verified the current information listed with DCDEE remains correct. A violation of child care requirements was documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 1053 On-going training received was not within the 9 topic areas listed in GS 110-91(11) and/or the health and safety training topic areas in rule .1102. The staff member hired has not completed the “Administration of Medication” or the “Emergency Preparedness and Response Planning” trainings which are part of the health and safety training. GS 110-91(11); 10A NCAC 09.1102(b)(1-11) The violations documented above must be corrected immediately. A signed and dated letter of compliance can be mailed or emailed to me and must be received by March 25, 2026. If mailing, you must submit two (2) signed and dated copies. My mailing and email addresses are noted at the bottom. The letter of compliance must detail how the violation was corrected. Please be aware that any written information you submit regarding the correction of the violation is legal documentation. Therefore, it is important that all submitted information is accurate and truthful. If it is determined that submitted information was inaccurate or willfully falsified, an Administrative Action, including Revocation of the facility’s license could be issued. COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit your compliance history was 99% over an eighteen (18) month period. CHILDREN’S RECORDS During the visit 10%, or more, of children’s records were monitored and found to be in compliance with Child Care Rules. STAFF RECORDS I monitored 10% of staff records and a violation was documented. The staff member hired 10/16/24 completed the health and safety trainings except for the “Administration of Medication” and “Emergency Preparedness and Response” training. Both are offered for free through Moodle. I showed you where to find the medication training on Moodle as it is a separate link from the other health and safety trainings. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & REMINDERS Continue to monitor the large playground equipment for peeling paint as it appears it may be starting to crack and eventually chip and rust. All equipment and furniture are required to always be in good repair. Technical assistance discussed regarding keeping a copy of the “Requirements for Preschool Children on Public School Buses” forms that include pages with bus driver, administrator and parent responsibilities that each must sign and date on site. That is the only way it can be verified as being completed. The Clean Water for Carolina Kids program has expanded to the Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program. This is a legislatively mandated effort to address lead and asbestos hazards in North Carolina public schools, licensed child care centers, and licensed family child care homes. Participation allows facilities to meet all rule requirements for identified lead and asbestos hazards, as required by law. Rules 10A NCAC 41C .1001 through .1007 require all programs to be free of lead and asbestos hazards. RTI is coordinating all the lead in water, paint and asbestos testing and remediation. Currently operating child care facilities are required to test for lead in paint and asbestos once unless the consultant notes a concern during a visit and refers the program to environmental health. The application is on the following website: https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/. I reviewed the website and observed that this program was exempt form the lead paint testing, and the asbestos testing is listed as “waiting for on-site visit results.” The lead water portion is noted as “mitigation pending.” I recommend ensuring that the program’s RTI account is updated with the current mitigation which you stated was no longer using the identified water fountain. Child care licensing requirements are established to ensure a safe and healthy child care environment. It is your responsibility to maintain compliance with all applicable laws and rules. The best way to do so is to periodically review the child care laws and rules. The current rule book dated July 1, 2025, is available at the DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/. There are also modules reviewing the new Child Care Rules available on Moodle, which can be found on the Division website. I recommend you frequently click the “What’s New” tab to stay informed of all updates on the DCDEE website. Please feel free to contact me at (984) 867-7089 or email at Felicia.faison@dhhs.nc.gov for questions and assistance. If needed my mailing address is PO Box 61161, Raleigh NC 27661. You may also contact Susan Fuller, Licensing Supervisor at (252) 373-9809. 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). All information in this report has been reviewed with me today.I understand that it is my responsibility to maintaincompliance with applicable NC Child Care Requirements at all times
