North Carolina child care administrators can now view and edit their facility’s staff roster in ABCMS, the DCDEE’s criminal background check system. Provider Access to ABCMS allows administrators to: • See the real-time background check status of staff members. • Run a printable report of the staff roster to assist with compliance visits. • See new background check applicants and add to staff roster. To get started, complete the ABCMS Child Care Provider Portal Training in Moodle—a video tutorial followed by a few questions. The process of notifying the Division 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 portal on 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.

In addition, repeated violations, continued non-compliance, or failure to submit the compliance letter prior to the date indicated in this visit summary could lead to the recommendation of an Administrative Action. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. I provided the following Technical Assistance during today’s visit: Children’s records may include a form that states what policies were given to parents when they enrolled their child as long as it includes the parent’s signature indicating that they received this. Staff will have two weeks to complete the Health and Safety Trainings that have not been completed. Consultation: Ms. Lawson is a new director. I have left the Legal Designee form with her today to be completed by the corporate office and I have left the Preservice for Administrators form with her today. I will pick these up on my next visit. I have not completed the visit today and will return very soon to finish the Annual Compliance visit. I have reviewed this visit summary with Ms. Lawson at the conclusion of the visit and a copy was given to her. I have appreciated Ms. Lawson’s time and assistance with this visit and have encouraged her to contact me if she has any questions at 336-317-5601.
