Name of Operation: CHRIST RESCUE TEMPLE #3 Facility ID: 34000300 Consultant: CARA MCKEOWN-STEWART Operation Type: Center Case Number: Visit Date: 4/24/2026 Number Present: 18 Completed Date: 4/24/2026 Age: From 1 To 5 Total Minutes: 195 Time In: 09:45 AM Time Out: 01:00 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Routine Unannounced Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s visit was to monitor your program for compliance with applicable childcare requirements for a routine unannounced visit. This visit was conducted with Deborah Lindsey, Director. Your program currently operates with a G.S.-110 Notice of Compliance effective 2/01/1998. Restrictions include 1st shift care only. The program’s compliance history was 91% prior to today’s visit. All programs are required to maintain at least 75% compliance. Today, the following items were monitored: • Supervision • Staff / Child Ratio • CPR / First Aid • Special Training • CBC Qualification • ITS – SIDS • Emergency Medical Care Plan • Administration of Medication • Storage of Hazardous Products • Storage of Medication • General Safety • Discipline • Adequate / Approved Space • Program Records • License Posted • Permit Restrictions The license was observed, and the restrictions were found in compliance. Upon arrival to the facility seven (7) children three to five years of age were observed engaging in activities and playing with toys in the front office, which is not a licensed space to care for children. Ms. Lindsey stated she had been up front to check her email, print off a document, and work “in between” care; she took all children to their designated classroom within ten minutes. A walk-through of the facility was completed today. Indoor and outdoor areas were observed. Staff/child ratio and space capacity were monitored as indicated on the attached worksheet. Supervision was adequate during the visit. I observed staff/child interactions today. I observed children engaging in conversations and activities with their teachers individually, in groups, and in centers and participating in general routines during the visit. One new staff member was reported at this program. Storage and administration of medication and medication authorization were monitored. Storage of hazardous items was monitored today. The most recent playground inspection was recorded 3/24/26. A fire drill was recorded 3/10/26. A lockdown drill for the facility was recorded 2/26/26. The most recent fire inspection was on 1/06/2025. I observed a sanitation inspection was last conducted on 12/19/25 earning a Superior classification. The program does not participate in off-premise or aquatic activities at this time. The following violations were cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 125 Daily records of arrival and departure times for children at the center were not maintained as children arrive and depart and/or were not made available for review. The times of arrival were not observed to be recorded for one child enrolled in Space 8 and one child enrolled in Space 5. 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(4) 209 Children used space that was not approved. Upon arrival to the facility seven (7) children three to five years of age were observed engaging in activities and playing with toys in the front office, which is not a licensed space to care for children. GS 110-91(1)&(4-5) 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children. On the playground used by children, one twisted piece of metal attached to the inside of the fencing was observed to be sharp to the touch. In Space 5, a classroom designated for children two and three years of age, a small wooden toy stove was observed to be splintering and chipping in greater than four areas; two small wooden splinters were observed on the floor near the stove. These splinters were discarded during the visit. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(a) 840 All corrosive agents, pesticides, bleaches, detergents, cleansers, polishes, any product which is under pressure in an aerosol dispenser, and any substance which may be hazardous to a child if ingested, inhaled, or handled were not stored in a locked room or cabinet. In Space 8, a solid room freshener and a box of hygienic wipes, both labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings, were observed stored greater than five feet up, but in unlocked storage. In the boys’ bathroom in the hallway, the last stall near the wall was observed open and with a spray bottle of foaming bathroom cleanser labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings sitting on the back of the toilet. The bathroom in the lobby of the program was observed to be unlocked; the cabinet beneath the sink was also unlocked and observed to contain an aerosol Febreeze spray and a spray bottle of foaming bathroom cleanser labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings. .2820(b) 849 Leftover medicines were not returned to the parent after the course of treatment was completed, after authorization was withdrawn or after authorization had expired and/or medication was not discarded within 72 hours of completion of treatment or withdrawal of authorization. The medication authorization for a Chapstick for one child enrolled in Space 5 had written authorization from 2/11/26 to 3/11/26, but had not been returned to the parent. .0803(12) 902 Each child was not attended to in a nurturing and appropriate manner, or in keeping with the child's developmental needs. The staff member assigned to Space 8, a classroom designated for children infant and one year of age, was observed picking a child (one year of age) up off the ground by his right wrist to keep him from exiting the classroom into the hallway. G.S. 110-91(10) 1823 The EPR Plan did not include the location of the Ready to Go File and or the required information. The Ready to Go Plan did was not observed to include an updated Allergy list for children and staff. .0607(d)(10) Compliance documentation: You must correct the violations found during today's visit immediately and send me documentation verifying compliance on or before 5/08/2026. The following information must be included in your compliance letter: • each violation number, • how you corrected each violation, • what plan will be implemented to prevent each violation from occurring again, • the name of your center, • facility ID number, • date, • title of the person who signs the letter If you state in your Compliance Letter that corrections or changes have been made when they have not, it will be considered falsification of information and could lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. You may email the letter to cara.mckeown@dhhs.nc.gov or mail two copies of the letter to: Cara McKeown 4948 Martin View Lane Unit 146 Winston Salem, NC 27104 Repeated violations, continued non-compliance, or failure to submit the compliance letter prior to the date given in this visit summary can also lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. An unannounced follow-up visit will be conducted to monitor discipline and safe handling of children. Technical Assistance Provided During the Visit: Upon arrival to the facility seven (7) children three to five years of age were observed engaging in activities and playing with toys in the front office, which is not a licensed space to care for children. Ms. Lindsey stated she had been up front to check her email, print off a document, and work “in between” care; she took all children to their designated classroom within ten minutes. It is important for children enrolled to be cared for at all times in licensed space, both to ensure they have access to the required developmentally appropriate activities, and for their safety. You may consider creating a plan for staffing each classroom when one staff member is absent or has not yet arrived to work for the day to ensure children enrolled are cared for in the classroom environment. The staff member assigned to Space 8, a classroom designated for children infant and one year of age, was observed picking a child (one year of age) up off the ground by his right wrist to keep him from exiting the classroom into the hallway. Picking up a toddler by the wrist or lower arm can cause Nursemaid’s Elbow, a common, painful injury where the elbow joint partially dislocates. Because a toddler's ligaments are loose and bones are still developing, this action can easily cause the ligament to slip over the bone. This action can also cause soft tissue damage and/or shoulder dislocation. If a staff member needs to physically move a child, the child should always be lifted by supporting him/her under the armpits, around the torso, or by the hips. You may consider reviewing safe practices for physically moving children with all staff and substitutes employed. On the playground used by children, one twisted piece of metal attached to the inside of the fencing was observed to be sharp to the touch. In Space 5, a classroom designated for children two and three years of age, a small wooden toy stove was observed to be splintering and chipping in greater than four areas; two small wooden splinters were observed on the floor near the stove. These splinters were discarded during the visit. In Space 8, a solid room freshener and a box of hygienic wipes, both labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings, were observed stored greater than five feet up, but in unlocked storage. In the boys’ bathroom in the hallway, the last stall near the wall was observed open and with a spray bottle of foaming bathroom cleanser labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings sitting on the back of the toilet. The bathroom in the lobby of the program was observed to be unlocked; the cabinet beneath the sink was also unlocked and observed to contain an aerosol Febreeze spray and a spray bottle of foaming bathroom cleanser labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings. Each of these items was placed into locked storage during the visit. It is imperative for the indoor and outdoor environment to be a safe place for children to engage with and explore at all times. You may consider adding these items to a daily checklist to monitor the indoor and outdoor environment for potential safety hazards prior to children arriving or using these areas each day. The medication authorization for a Chapstick for one child enrolled in Space 5 had written authorization from 2/11/26 to 3/11/26, but had not been returned to the parent. This Chapstick was removed from the classroom and brought to the office to return to the parent during the visit. It is important for all medication and medication authorization forms to be current and active to ensure the health and safety of children enrolled. You may consider creating a calendar reminder to ensure all medication authorization forms are reviewed bi-monthly or monthly. Consultation Provided During Visit: The following Child Care Rules were reviewed with Ms. Lindsey during the visit: • 10A NCAC 09 .0604 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR CHILD CARE CENTERS (c) regarding safety covers for outlets - 10A NCAC 09 .1802 STAFF/CHILD INTERACTIONS regarding tone of voice used with children and interacting with them in positive ways Consider encouraging staff to complete trainings which include positive guidance of young children. Monitor the child-sized couches in Spaces 2 and 5 for cracking areas and general wear and tear which can make sanitizing these items difficult; you may consider covering these areas with a strong adhesive plastic/rubber cover as you notice them occur. On-Going Professional Development In addition to the required Health and Safety Trainings, staff can access professional development training on the DCDEE website in Moodle under Early Childhood Professional Development in the categories of Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), Orientation and Regulatory. Updated training modules are being added, including a Child Care Rule Rollout with new rules effective July 1, 2025, found under the Regulatory tab. Specifically, under the Orientation tab, I would encourage all staff to complete the training for “Child Development Module.” This training module provides a basic overview about child development and is designed to help early educators support infants, toddlers, and preschool children to reach their next developmental milestone. In addition to gaining introductory knowledge about child development, early educators will learn about the many resources and professional agencies available in North Carolina to help with promoting a responsive and engaging learning environment to support all children served. Upon completion, participants will receive one (1) contact hour credit (CHC). An individual NCID username and password is needed to access the DCDEE Moodle. If you experience problems with Moodle, contact dcdee_moodle_support@dhhs.nc.gov for assistance. For other training-related questions, please contact the Training and Program Development Consultant, Amia Eaton by calling (919) 814-6365 or emailing her at Amia.Eaton@dhhs.nc.gov • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. Thank you for your time and assistance during this visit. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary, enrollment worksheet, and monitoring checklist were printed, and a copy was provided to you. You were given the opportunity to ask questions during the visit.

You may email the letter to cara.mckeown@dhhs.nc.gov or mail two copies of the letter to: Cara McKeown 4948 Martin View Lane Unit 146 Winston Salem, NC 27104 Repeated violations, continued non-compliance, or failure to submit the compliance letter prior to the date given in this visit summary can also lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. An unannounced follow-up visit will be conducted to monitor discipline and safe handling of children. Technical Assistance Provided During the Visit: Upon arrival to the facility seven (7) children three to five years of age were observed engaging in activities and playing with toys in the front office, which is not a licensed space to care for children. Ms. Lindsey stated she had been up front to check her email, print off a document, and work “in between” care; she took all children to their designated classroom within ten minutes. It is important for children enrolled to be cared for at all times in licensed space, both to ensure they have access to the required developmentally appropriate activities, and for their safety. You may consider creating a plan for staffing each classroom when one staff member is absent or has not yet arrived to work for the day to ensure children enrolled are cared for in the classroom environment. The staff member assigned to Space 8, a classroom designated for children infant and one year of age, was observed picking a child (one year of age) up off the ground by his right wrist to keep him from exiting the classroom into the hallway. Picking up a toddler by the wrist or lower arm can cause Nursemaid’s Elbow, a common, painful injury where the elbow joint partially dislocates. Because a toddler's ligaments are loose and bones are still developing, this action can easily cause the ligament to slip over the bone. This action can also cause soft tissue damage and/or shoulder dislocation. If a staff member needs to physically move a child, the child should always be lifted by supporting him/her under the armpits, around the torso, or by the hips. You may consider reviewing safe practices for physically moving children with all staff and substitutes employed. On the playground used by children, one twisted piece of metal attached to the inside of the fencing was observed to be sharp to the touch. In Space 5, a classroom designated for children two and three years of age, a small wooden toy stove was observed to be splintering and chipping in greater than four areas; two small wooden splinters were observed on the floor near the stove. These splinters were discarded during the visit. In Space 8, a solid room freshener and a box of hygienic wipes, both labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings, were observed stored greater than five feet up, but in unlocked storage. In the boys’ bathroom in the hallway, the last stall near the wall was observed open and with a spray bottle of foaming bathroom cleanser labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings sitting on the back of the toilet. The bathroom in the lobby of the program was observed to be unlocked; the cabinet beneath the sink was also unlocked and observed to contain an aerosol Febreeze spray and a spray bottle of foaming bathroom cleanser labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings. Each of these items was placed into locked storage during the visit. It is imperative for the indoor and outdoor environment to be a safe place for children to engage with and explore at all times. You may consider adding these items to a daily checklist to monitor the indoor and outdoor environment for potential safety hazards prior to children arriving or using these areas each day. The medication authorization for a Chapstick for one child enrolled in Space 5 had written authorization from 2/11/26 to 3/11/26, but had not been returned to the parent. This Chapstick was removed from the classroom and brought to the office to return to the parent during the visit. It is important for all medication and medication authorization forms to be current and active to ensure the health and safety of children enrolled. You may consider creating a calendar reminder to ensure all medication authorization forms are reviewed bi-monthly or monthly. Consultation Provided During Visit: The following Child Care Rules were reviewed with Ms. Lindsey during the visit: • 10A NCAC 09 .0604 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR CHILD CARE CENTERS (c) regarding safety covers for outlets - 10A NCAC 09 .1802 STAFF/CHILD INTERACTIONS regarding tone of voice used with children and interacting with them in positive ways Consider encouraging staff to complete trainings which include positive guidance of young children. Monitor the child-sized couches in Spaces 2 and 5 for cracking areas and general wear and tear which can make sanitizing these items difficult; you may consider covering these areas with a strong adhesive plastic/rubber cover as you notice them occur. On-Going Professional Development In addition to the required Health and Safety Trainings, staff can access professional development training on the DCDEE website in Moodle under Early Childhood Professional Development in the categories of Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), Orientation and Regulatory. Updated training modules are being added, including a Child Care Rule Rollout with new rules effective July 1, 2025, found under the Regulatory tab. Specifically, under the Orientation tab, I would encourage all staff to complete the training for “Child Development Module.” This training module provides a basic overview about child development and is designed to help early educators support infants, toddlers, and preschool children to reach their next developmental milestone. In addition to gaining introductory knowledge about child development, early educators will learn about the many resources and professional agencies available in North Carolina to help with promoting a responsive and engaging learning environment to support all children served. Upon completion, participants will receive one (1) contact hour credit (CHC). An individual NCID username and password is needed to access the DCDEE Moodle. If you experience problems with Moodle, contact dcdee_moodle_support@dhhs.nc.gov for assistance.

This visit was conducted with Deborah Lindsey, Director. Your program currently operates with a G.S.-110 Notice of Compliance effective 2/01/1998. Restrictions include 1st shift care only. The program’s compliance history was 91% prior to today’s visit. All programs are required to maintain at least 75% compliance.

Upon arrival to the facility seven (7) children three to five years of age were observed engaging in activities and playing with toys in the front office, which is not a licensed space to care for children. Ms. Lindsey stated she had been up front to check her email, print off a document, and work “in between” care; she took all children to their designated classroom within ten minutes. A walk-through of the facility was completed today. Indoor and outdoor areas were observed. Staff/child ratio and space capacity were monitored as indicated on the attached worksheet. Supervision was adequate during the visit. I observed staff/child interactions today. I observed children engaging in conversations and activities with their teachers individually, in groups, and in centers and participating in general routines during the visit. One new staff member was reported at this program. Storage and administration of medication and medication authorization were monitored. Storage of hazardous items was monitored today. The most recent playground inspection was recorded 3/24/26. A fire drill was recorded 3/10/26. A lockdown drill for the facility was recorded 2/26/26. The most recent fire inspection was on 1/06/2025. I observed a sanitation inspection was last conducted on 12/19/25 earning a Superior classification. The program does not participate in off-premise or aquatic activities at this time. The following violations were cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 125 Daily records of arrival and departure times for children at the center were not maintained as children arrive and depart and/or were not made available for review. The times of arrival were not observed to be recorded for one child enrolled in Space 8 and one child enrolled in Space 5. 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(4) 209 Children used space that was not approved. Upon arrival to the facility seven (7) children three to five years of age were observed engaging in activities and playing with toys in the front office, which is not a licensed space to care for children. GS 110-91(1)&(4-5) 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children. On the playground used by children, one twisted piece of metal attached to the inside of the fencing was observed to be sharp to the touch. In Space 5, a classroom designated for children two and three years of age, a small wooden toy stove was observed to be splintering and chipping in greater than four areas; two small wooden splinters were observed on the floor near the stove. These splinters were discarded during the visit. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(a) 840 All corrosive agents, pesticides, bleaches, detergents, cleansers, polishes, any product which is under pressure in an aerosol dispenser, and any substance which may be hazardous to a child if ingested, inhaled, or handled were not stored in a locked room or cabinet. In Space 8, a solid room freshener and a box of hygienic wipes, both labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings, were observed stored greater than five feet up, but in unlocked storage. In the boys’ bathroom in the hallway, the last stall near the wall was observed open and with a spray bottle of foaming bathroom cleanser labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings sitting on the back of the toilet. The bathroom in the lobby of the program was observed to be unlocked; the cabinet beneath the sink was also unlocked and observed to contain an aerosol Febreeze spray and a spray bottle of foaming bathroom cleanser labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings. .2820(b) 849 Leftover medicines were not returned to the parent after the course of treatment was completed, after authorization was withdrawn or after authorization had expired and/or medication was not discarded within 72 hours of completion of treatment or withdrawal of authorization. The medication authorization for a Chapstick for one child enrolled in Space 5 had written authorization from 2/11/26 to 3/11/26, but had not been returned to the parent. .0803(12) 902 Each child was not attended to in a nurturing and appropriate manner, or in keeping with the child's developmental needs. The staff member assigned to Space 8, a classroom designated for children infant and one year of age, was observed picking a child (one year of age) up off the ground by his right wrist to keep him from exiting the classroom into the hallway. G.S. 110-91(10) 1823 The EPR Plan did not include the location of the Ready to Go File and or the required information. The Ready to Go Plan did was not observed to include an updated Allergy list for children and staff. .0607(d)(10) Compliance documentation: You must correct the violations found during today's visit immediately and send me documentation verifying compliance on or before 5/08/2026. The following information must be included in your compliance letter: • each violation number, • how you corrected each violation, • what plan will be implemented to prevent each violation from occurring again, • the name of your center, • facility ID number, • date, • title of the person who signs the letter If you state in your Compliance Letter that corrections or changes have been made when they have not, it will be considered falsification of information and could lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. You may email the letter to cara.mckeown@dhhs.nc.gov or mail two copies of the letter to: Cara McKeown 4948 Martin View Lane Unit 146 Winston Salem, NC 27104 Repeated violations, continued non-compliance, or failure to submit the compliance letter prior to the date given in this visit summary can also lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. An unannounced follow-up visit will be conducted to monitor discipline and safe handling of children. Technical Assistance Provided During the Visit: Upon arrival to the facility seven (7) children three to five years of age were observed engaging in activities and playing with toys in the front office, which is not a licensed space to care for children. Ms. Lindsey stated she had been up front to check her email, print off a document, and work “in between” care; she took all children to their designated classroom within ten minutes. It is important for children enrolled to be cared for at all times in licensed space, both to ensure they have access to the required developmentally appropriate activities, and for their safety. You may consider creating a plan for staffing each classroom when one staff member is absent or has not yet arrived to work for the day to ensure children enrolled are cared for in the classroom environment. The staff member assigned to Space 8, a classroom designated for children infant and one year of age, was observed picking a child (one year of age) up off the ground by his right wrist to keep him from exiting the classroom into the hallway. Picking up a toddler by the wrist or lower arm can cause Nursemaid’s Elbow, a common, painful injury where the elbow joint partially dislocates. Because a toddler's ligaments are loose and bones are still developing, this action can easily cause the ligament to slip over the bone. This action can also cause soft tissue damage and/or shoulder dislocation. If a staff member needs to physically move a child, the child should always be lifted by supporting him/her under the armpits, around the torso, or by the hips. You may consider reviewing safe practices for physically moving children with all staff and substitutes employed. On the playground used by children, one twisted piece of metal attached to the inside of the fencing was observed to be sharp to the touch. In Space 5, a classroom designated for children two and three years of age, a small wooden toy stove was observed to be splintering and chipping in greater than four areas; two small wooden splinters were observed on the floor near the stove. These splinters were discarded during the visit. In Space 8, a solid room freshener and a box of hygienic wipes, both labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings, were observed stored greater than five feet up, but in unlocked storage. In the boys’ bathroom in the hallway, the last stall near the wall was observed open and with a spray bottle of foaming bathroom cleanser labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings sitting on the back of the toilet. The bathroom in the lobby of the program was observed to be unlocked; the cabinet beneath the sink was also unlocked and observed to contain an aerosol Febreeze spray and a spray bottle of foaming bathroom cleanser labeled Keep Out of Reach of Children with additional warnings. Each of these items was placed into locked storage during the visit. It is imperative for the indoor and outdoor environment to be a safe place for children to engage with and explore at all times. You may consider adding these items to a daily checklist to monitor the indoor and outdoor environment for potential safety hazards prior to children arriving or using these areas each day. The medication authorization for a Chapstick for one child enrolled in Space 5 had written authorization from 2/11/26 to 3/11/26, but had not been returned to the parent. This Chapstick was removed from the classroom and brought to the office to return to the parent during the visit. It is important for all medication and medication authorization forms to be current and active to ensure the health and safety of children enrolled. You may consider creating a calendar reminder to ensure all medication authorization forms are reviewed bi-monthly or monthly. Consultation Provided During Visit: The following Child Care Rules were reviewed with Ms. Lindsey during the visit: • 10A NCAC 09 .0604 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR CHILD CARE CENTERS (c) regarding safety covers for outlets - 10A NCAC 09 .1802 STAFF/CHILD INTERACTIONS regarding tone of voice used with children and interacting with them in positive ways Consider encouraging staff to complete trainings which include positive guidance of young children. Monitor the child-sized couches in Spaces 2 and 5 for cracking areas and general wear and tear which can make sanitizing these items difficult; you may consider covering these areas with a strong adhesive plastic/rubber cover as you notice them occur. On-Going Professional Development In addition to the required Health and Safety Trainings, staff can access professional development training on the DCDEE website in Moodle under Early Childhood Professional Development in the categories of Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), Orientation and Regulatory. Updated training modules are being added, including a Child Care Rule Rollout with new rules effective July 1, 2025, found under the Regulatory tab. Specifically, under the Orientation tab, I would encourage all staff to complete the training for “Child Development Module.” This training module provides a basic overview about child development and is designed to help early educators support infants, toddlers, and preschool children to reach their next developmental milestone. In addition to gaining introductory knowledge about child development, early educators will learn about the many resources and professional agencies available in North Carolina to help with promoting a responsive and engaging learning environment to support all children served. Upon completion, participants will receive one (1) contact hour credit (CHC). An individual NCID username and password is needed to access the DCDEE Moodle. If you experience problems with Moodle, contact dcdee_moodle_support@dhhs.nc.gov for assistance. For other training-related questions, please contact the Training and Program Development Consultant, Amia Eaton by calling (919) 814-6365 or emailing her at Amia.Eaton@dhhs.nc.gov • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. Thank you for your time and assistance during this visit. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary, enrollment worksheet, and monitoring checklist were printed, and a copy was provided to you. You were given the opportunity to ask questions during the visit.

Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance provided during today’s visit: One child was not observed to be signed in upon arrival in Space 5; the teacher recorded the child’s time of arrival when I mentioned this. Exact times of arrival are important to be recorded so staff members know exactly how many children and which children they have at all times. You may consider asking teachers to check the arrival/departure record each day as parents arrive/depart, so times can be recorded at the point of service if a parent forgets to sign a child in/out. On the playground, the sections of fencing along the front of the playground (facing the parking lot) were measured to be a height of 47 inches. It is important for fencing in all areas to meet the required height of 48 inches to ensure the safety of all children enrolled.

Ms. Lindsey stated she was unaware of these safety issues on the fencing. It is essential for the outdoor learning environment to be a safe place for children to explore and engage. Ms. Lindsey and I discussed removing these small pieces completely or turning and securing them so they face outward on the fencing and not inward toward the children. Comments and Additional Information: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. Ms. Lindsey and I discussed children of all ages may be cared for together in groups for the first and last operating hour of the day, provided the staff/child ratio for the youngest child in the group is maintained and except for during the aforementioned times, children between the ages of 12 months and 24 months shall not be grouped with older children unless all children in the group are less than three years of age. Ms. Lindsey stated the program operates from 6 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. daily and expressed concerns she does not like to leave the front door unattended in the mornings when it is still dark outside when the program opens. She stated she will leave the front door locked and receive children who arrive through the entrance of Space 2 until her first staff member arrives and it is light outside.

Comments and Additional Information: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. Ms. Lindsey and I discussed children of all ages may be cared for together in groups for the first and last operating hour of the day, provided the staff/child ratio for the youngest child in the group is maintained and except for during the aforementioned times, children between the ages of 12 months and 24 months shall not be grouped with older children unless all children in the group are less than three years of age.

One child was not observed to be signed in upon arrival in Space 5. 10A NCAC 09 .0302(d)(4) 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children. On the playground, greater than three shorter pieces of fencing metal were observed to be wrapped around the fencing, but protruding and sharp to the touch. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(a) 824 Outdoor play area was not enclosed by fence with a minimum height of 4 feet. The top of the fence, less than six feet, was not free from protrusions. On the playground, the sections of fencing along the front of the playground (facing the parking lot) were measured to be a height of 47 inches. GS 110-91(6); .0605((i) 1792 Staff did not model appropriate eating behaviors by consuming food or beverages that meet the nutritional requirements specified in the Meal Patterns for Children in Child Care Programs in the presence of children in care. In Space 5, a clear fast food labeled cup and a fast food labeled bag were observed, belonging to a staff member. .0901(i) 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.

Repeated violations, continued non-compliance, or failure to submit the compliance letter prior to the date given in this visit summary can also lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance provided during today’s visit: One child was not observed to be signed in upon arrival in Space 5; the teacher recorded the child’s time of arrival when I mentioned this. Exact times of arrival are important to be recorded so staff members know exactly how many children and which children they have at all times. You may consider asking teachers to check the arrival/departure record each day as parents arrive/depart, so times can be recorded at the point of service if a parent forgets to sign a child in/out. On the playground, the sections of fencing along the front of the playground (facing the parking lot) were measured to be a height of 47 inches. It is important for fencing in all areas to meet the required height of 48 inches to ensure the safety of all children enrolled. Ms. Lindsey stated plastic lattice will be added to the front portions of fencing within the next two weeks as well to bring the height of the fence to the required height. Also on the playground, greater than three shorter pieces of fencing metal were observed to be wrapped around the fencing, but protruding and sharp to the touch. Ms. Lindsey stated she was unaware of these safety issues on the fencing. It is essential for the outdoor learning environment to be a safe place for children to explore and engage.

Repeated violations, continued non-compliance, or failure to submit the compliance letter prior to the date given in this visit summary can also lead to administrative action taken by the DCDEE. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance provided during today’s visit: It was observed that greater than two sections of the top rail of the chain link fencing were observed to be rusting on the playground.

It was observed that two corner sections of fencing at the front left of the playground were measured to be heights of 47 inches and 44 inches, respectively. Ms. Lindsey stated she was unaware all fencing was no longer measuring 48 inches in height. I stated the area along the inside of the fencing could have dirt removed, but must remain safe for the children in care (for example, gently sloped for the fencing to meet the required 48 inches in height, as opposed to a small trench which could present a safety hazard). A lockdown drill was observed to be documented on 8/17/2023; prior to this date, the most recent shelter in place/ lockdown drill was completed on 3/20/2023. Ms. Lindsey stated she overlooked completing this drill, and will write the dates these are due on her calendar as reminders.

An over-the-counter topical ointment for one child enrolled did not have a medication authorization form completed. Ms. Lindsey stated the Medical Action Plan was mistaken for the medication authorization form; she stated she would provide the medication authorization form to the parent to be completed at pick-up today.
