Additional Information/Consultation: •You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. •The Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) is excited to share information about the July 2025 childcare rule changes. The Child Care Commission adopted rules to support QRIS modernization. The new section, .3200, provides the standards for earning a two-though five-star-rated license. There are three pathways: program assessment, classroom and instructional quality, and accreditation and head start. To support the QRIS changes, additional rules were amended within the following sections: definitions, developmental day services, and NC Pre-Kindergarten services. Consultants will assist as you begin to review the changes, but please note some of the rule changes may not impact your facility. DCDEE has provided a summary of the changes, but for specific details regarding these changes, please ensure you are using the updated July 1, 2025, rule book, and view information in the DCDEE Moodle (Enroll if you haven’t yet). You will need to have an NCID - the same NCID that you use for the health & safety training, WORKS login, and/or the CBC Portal - to participate in Moodle training. Please see the email I sent out on 09/08/2025 for links and more information. •Make sure you are signed up to receive the Raise NC Newsletters as information will be shared with you all about important DCDEE updates through these newsletters. •Make sure all employees have updated WORKS letters on file available for review. When evaluating education, we can only use the WORKS letters to determine each employee’s star rating. •Please join us for our upcoming administrator meeting as we provide additional guidance on the changes, the transition plan, and timeline. We are offering two meetings. The same information will be presented at both meetings. One is an in-person meeting, and one is a virtual meeting to help meet the needs of our providers. Both meetings will be held on the same date at the same time. The center provider meeting will be held on 09/30/2025 at 12:00 p.m. Please see the email I sent out on 09/05/2025 for more information.

Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit related to violations: • We discussed that all employees, including all teachers and the principal, must have a file available to review.

The items listed on the offsite verification form can be stored offsite. The new employee stated she had most of the documents on her phone and some were in the office. You stated the file would be put together today. • You must have an emergency drill every three (3) months to ensure children are prepared in the event of an emergency. We discussed that you could have a drill in your classroom if the school does not have a drill. • We discussed that all outlets must be covered when not in use. You stated that the computer repair person had been in the classroom and had removed the charger that was plugged up. You covered the outlet during the visit. • We discussed that playground inspections must be completed monthly and documented on DCDEE’s form. You stated you completed one in February and would find the form and place it in the file so it would be available for review. Additional Information/Consultation: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. • We discussed that all required child paperwork should be turned in on the child’s first day or prior to enrollment. I recommend working with your instructional coach to ensure that all paperwork is received prior to enrollment or on the child’s first day of enrollment so that all paperwork is available for review. • I recommend having the mulch fluffed around the playground equipment. • I recommend sanding and painting the steps at the front of the stationary equipment. These steps are beginning to show signs of rust. • The hold harmless was extended until the QRIS modernization has been completed. The previous cohort model is no longer in effect. Starting on February 1, 2025, the ECERS-3, ITERS-3, and FCCERS-3—also known as the "3s"—will be used for DCDEE environment rating scale assessments. The DCDEE and the North Carolina Rated License Assessment Project (NCRLAP) are collaboratively working on preparations for the transition to the third editions. These third editions come with a spiral binding at the top, replacing the current revised editions. Visit the NCRLAP’s website for more information about updated resources, credit hour trainings, and outreach assessment opportunities to help you become familiar with these tools. For official environment rating scale assessments for a NC Star Rated License, the NCRLAP will use the Revised editions until February 1, 2025. You can find more information at this link: https://ncrlap.org/Resources/pages/get-ready-for-3s/ • The process of notifying the Division of new employees has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in 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. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-6401 and someone will assist you. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was reviewed with and provided to you. Thank you for your time and assistance during the visit.

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. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted.
