Name of Operation: FRIEDLAND MORAVIAN CHURCH DAY CARE Facility ID: 3455198 Consultant: MELINDA LESCAR Operation Type: Center Case Number: 0326-136L Visit Date: 3/18/2026 Number Present: 41 Completed Date: 3/18/2026 Age: From 0 To 5 Total Minutes: 310 Time In: 09:30 AM Time Out: 02:40 PM Time In: Time Out: List to Use: Center Type Of Visit: Self Report Announced/Unannounced: Unannounced The purpose of today’s visit was to obtain information related to a self-report received by the Division. During today’s visit, Charity Hauser, Director accompanied me during a walk-through of the facility. During the visit, I discussed the information with Charity Hauser, Director and Melissa Cernvione, Assistant Director. Based on information obtained, the following was determined. On March 10, 2026, a three (3) year old child was left unattended on the playground when one staff member was providing care for eight, three-year-old children. I interviewed the director and assistant director about the incident. The staff member brought the children inside from the playground at 10:56 a.m. The child came to the door at 10:59 a.m. A staff member entered the hallway near the entrance of the door when they heard the door handle jiggling and opened the door, and the child was let in the facility at 11:02 a.m. I observed video coverage that confirmed the incident and that the child was left unsupervised for six (6) minutes. In the video, the child did not appear to be crying or showing any signs of distress. I asked Ms. Hauser what steps had been taken since the incident. Ms. Hauser stated that the staff member was placed on administrative leave immediately and was terminated later that day after viewing the video footage. The director immediately conducted an emergency staff meeting and began implementing head count sheets every thirty (30) minutes on the same day of the incident. The director instructed all staff members to have the children line up at the fence to do a head count before leaving the playground to go inside the facility. I observed attendance sheets for the three-year-old classroom on the day of the incident, and eight (8) children were present with one staff member. Adequate supervision of children was observed today in each space. Limited monitoring of child care requirements occurred during today’s visit. The following violation was confirmed during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 303 Children were not adequately supervised at all times. On March 10, 2026 A three year old child was left unattended on the playground for six minutes. .1801(a)(1-5) 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. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation(s) documented must be corrected immediately. On or before April 1, 2026. I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail how and when the violations were corrected. Please be aware that any information submitted by you is considered legal documentation. If it is determined the information provided in the letter is not true, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit will be conducted. Mail or email the information to: Melinda Lescar PO Box 25174 Winston Salem, NC 27114 Melinda.lescar@dhhs.nc.gov If you email the compliance letter, it must be sent from the email address registered with the DCDEE (this serves as your signature) and the following information must be included: name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance discussed during today’s visit related to violations: A violation was documented for failure to maintain compliance with supervision requirements. Children should be adequately supervised at all times. It is important for staff members to conduct a head count of all children during transition times using the arrival and departure sheets to ensure that all children are accounted for each day. Ms. Hauser stated she was going to have a staff meeting on March 24, 2026 to discuss how to use the head count sheets correctly and plans to create a supervision policy to share with current staff and review the policy with all new staff during orientation. In addition, Ms. Hauser stated they will install an additional camera that will allow them to view the playground at a closer angle and reposition two cameras for better views of the hallways and outside the entrance into the facility. Ms. Hauser stated she plans to purchase tablets for each classroom to be used in place of their personal cell phones. These tablets will be used only for the facility’s Brightwheel Application to avoid any misuse of cell phone usage during work hours. Staff currently use their personal cell phones for the use of the Brightwheel Application. Violations of this nature directly impact the safety of the children while in your care. In addition, these types of violations have the greatest negative impact on your compliance history. During the visit, we discussed that repeated violations of this nature during consecutive visits may lead to an administrative action against your license. A follow-up visit may be conducted in the near future to monitor compliance with child care requirements. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was printed, reviewed, and a copy was left with you.

Observation and/or Interviews #1: During today’s visit, a walkthrough of the facility was conducted. I observed walls throughout the facility. I observed multiple holes in the wall in Space 6 that ranged from a half to quarter inch in size accessible to children. This classroom has children aged 7-14 months of age. Ms. Cervone and Susan McDowell, Lead Teacher, stated that the gate was broken and removed. Ms. Cervone stated they are in the process of ordering a new gate and will have it installed within two weeks. No additional concerns were observed regarding the condition of the walls.

This visit was conducted with Ashley Dollyhite, Director, and Tommy Reed, Head of Church Board of Trustees. The allegations are as follows: There are allegations of violations of childcare requirements regarding sanitation. During today’s visit, the allegations were discussed with you. You had the opportunity to respond. Information shared during this visit is documented in this visit summary. Your program currently operates with a notice of compliance. Restrictions include daytime care only and children not allowed to use the church elevator. The facility is owned by Friedland Moravian Church. The program’s compliance history was 78% 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 • Adequate / Approved Space • License Posted • Permit Restrictions Allegation #1: There are allegations of violations of childcare requirements regarding sanitation. Observation #1: During today’s visit, a walkthrough of the facility was conducted. Upon arrival, I observed the front door being propped open with a vertical board. The door was propped open but there was no visible and accessible gap. I interviewed the director and the Head of Church Board of Trustees during the visit. The director stated the keypad stopped working on July 2nd, 2025. Ms. Dollyhite stated that she tried changing the batteries on the keypad for the door, but the door consistently stayed locked and would not open.

Ms. Dollyhite stated either the Director or Assistant Director would be in the front of the building able to view the windows to monitor who came in and exited the facility. Ms. Dollyhite stated that the children were unaware that the door was broken and there has not been a concern for any children accessing the unlocked door. During the visit, I also interviewed Mr. Tommy Reed, Head of Church Board of Trustees. Mr. Reed confirmed that the door was propped open at the bottom of the door using a piece of wood on Tuesday July 2nd, 2025. Per Mr. Reed, this created approximately a one (1) inch gap in the doorway. Mr. Reed stated this gap was accessible for approximately two (2) days. Mr. Reed stated that he did not like the one (1) inch gap that this left in the door, so he placed double sided tape on the back of the piece of wood and stood the wood up vertically in the doorway to make the gap go away. Mr. Reed confirmed that the door had been propped open like this, without a one (1) inch gap, for over a week. Mr. Reed confirmed that the part needed to fix the keypad was ordered sometime in the week of July 2nd, 2025. Mr. Reed stated that he received a phone call on July 7th, 2025, stating that the part was on back order and would not be available for four (4) to six (6) weeks. Mr. Reed confirmed that the part has been ordered, and they are waiting for the part to arrive. During the visit, Mr. Reed removed the piece of wood from the door and Ms. Dollyhite taped the lock so that the door could open freely without being propped open. Conclusion #1: Based on the above information and observations during today’s visit, there was enough information to support the allegation. This allegation was substantiated. The following violation was cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 617 All openings to the outer air were not protected against the entrance of flying pest. During the visit, it was confirmed during an interview that the front door was propped open leaving a one (1) inch gap for approximately two (2) days. 15A NCAC 18A .2831(c) 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. Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. The violation cited during today was corrected during the visit. A compliance letter is not due at this time. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit related to violations: • We discussed during the visit that doors should not be propped open as this could result in pests entering the facility. You closed the door during the visit and stated that the door would remained closed but unlocked to ensure pests could not get in. Additional Information/Consultation: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. • We discussed that I needed updated forms from Mr. Caviness. Due to these forms not being filled out correctly, I need Mr. Caviness to sign the visit summary. I left three (3) copies of the visit summary with you. Please have Mr. Caviness sign all three (3) copies and then mail me two (2) copies to: PO Box 1342 Lexington NC 27293. I also need the Facility Profile Application and the Legal Designee form updated and emailed to me as soon as possible. We discussed the updates and signatures during the visit. You can also view the email I sent on 05/28/2025 for more information. • We discussed making families aware of the plan for the door issue. You stated that when the door broke you verbally spoke with all families letting them know. We discussed that you did not want to post this on the door as you did not want outside individuals knowing the door was not working. We discussed that you could use your Brightwheel application to notify families of the door plan and any updates that occur. • Please send me an email letting me know when the door keypad has been replaced or any additional measures you put in place regarding the door. • We discussed licensing the fellowship hall during the visit. If you want to pursue this, you would first need to reach out to building and zoning and have inspections completed by them. You will also have to have a fire and sanitation inspection completed for this area. Once all inspections have been completed, you would reach out to your consultant to come out and measure the space and approve the use of this space. Children would not be allowed in this area until fully approved by your consultant with all required inspections. 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.

Technical assistance provided during today’s visit: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. This includes becoming incorporated or dissolving a corporation. • I observed push pins used to display feeding schedules and safe sleep policies. Today I recommended not using push pins since they could easily pop off and cause injury to a child. • You asked today if you are permitted to transition to electronic files for children and staff. You stated you agree to maintain a paper file for staff and children boxed up and filed in a way that they are easy to access upon request. However, your day to day handling of records would be primarily electronic. • You asked if you could begin using the church sanctuary for chapel once per month for children ages 2 and older. We agreed to schedule a time for me to come back and look at the route to the chapel and the inside of the chapel prior to approving this.
