The following violation was cited during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 301 Minimum staff/child ratios and group sizes for the number and ages of children in care were not met. During the visit, I observed eleven children ages one (1) to three (3) years old with one (1) staff member. GS 110-91(7);.0713(a-d) 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.

Box 1342 Lexington, NC 27293 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 discussed during today’s visit related to violations: • Staff/child ratios must be maintained at all times. You stated that there were several teachers who are out sick. We discussed during the visit that a plan will need to be in place for when staff callouts occur. We discussed the options of calling in staff and/or floaters early or moving children around to ensure that the ratio is being followed for the lowest age. We also discussed that some tasks can wait until more staff arrive to ensure ratios are being followed. During the visit, teachers came in and children were placed in their classrooms to put each class at ratio. A follow-up visit will be conducted to monitor compliance with this rule. Additional Information/Consultation: • You must notify your consultant 30 days prior to changing the ownership status of your facility. • Please send me a copy of your current registration and insurance for the vehicle used to transport children. If the insurance or registration on the vehicle have not been updated, this vehicle cannot be used to transport children until all documents are received. • 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 The previous cohort model is no longer in effect.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) 814-8401 and someone will assist you.

This visit was conducted by Whitney Parker, Childcare Consultant, with Tonya Colon, Director. The allegations are as follows: There is a concern related to nutrition. The portion sizes are not suitable for the ages of the children and the menu is not posted. During today’s visit, the allegations were discussed with you. You had the opportunity to respond. Information shared during this visit are documented in this visit summary. Your program currently operates with a three-star license.

The portion sizes are not suitable for the ages of the children and the menu is not posted. Observation #1: During today’s visit, I observed a menu that reflected cereal and milk would be served for breakfast. I observed two children eating. One child in space one was eating a cereal bar and a fruit pouch. One child in space four was eating a sausage and cheese biscuit with milk. I asked Ms. Colon about these two children and what they were eating. Ms. Colon stated these two children opted out of the meals that were served by the center. These forms could not be located during the visit. Ms. Colon stated she would send me these forms once she found them. I interviewed four employees. Two employees that were present for breakfast stated the children were served breakfast, and they stated the children had Cheerios, applesauce, and milk. I also interviewed the Director. Ms. Colon stated that she attended a training course with Guilford Child Development that stated that she had to serve two components for breakfast choosing from milk, a grain, a fruit, or a vegetable. Ms. Colon stated that she changed her menu after that training to align with what was said during that training. Ms. Colon stated that she serves a grain and milk for breakfast and would sometimes serve a fruit, but it was not consistent and sometimes children were served only a grain and milk. Ms. Colon showed me the USDA Child Meal Pattern document that they use to determine the amount of food served to children.

Any violation(s) documented may impact the compliance history score. You must correct the violations cited during today's visit immediately and send me documentation verifying compliance on or before 10/03/2023. The following information must be included in your signed and dated compliance letter: • the name of your center • facility ID number • date • title of the person who signs the letter • each violation number(s) • describes accurately and in detail how and when you corrected each violation You may email the letter to whitney.parker@dhhs.nc.gov or mail two copies of the letter to: Whitney Parker P.O. Box 1342 Lexington, NC 27293 If you state in your 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. 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. During today’s visit, you inquired about transporting children. Prior to transporting children, you will need to develop transportation policies and send them to me for approval. You will need to establish procedures for pick-up and delivery of children to ensure children are protected from danger and not exposed to risk of harm. These procedures shall be communicated to parents, and a copy shall be posted in the center where they can be seen by the parents. You will also need to reach out to me to come and view the vehicle that will be used to transport. The vehicle will need to be current on inspection and insurance. You will need a fire extinguisher and first aid kit (band aids) on the vehicle. You will also need to develop a transportation binder containing the following information: For each child being transported, identifying information, including the child's name, photograph, emergency contact information, and a copy of the emergency medical care information. Be reminded, children being transported will also need permission to transport forms on file. Before children are transported, written permission from a parent shall be obtained that shall include when and where the child is to be transported, expected time of departure and arrival, and the transportation provider. Parents may give standing permission, valid for up to 12 months, for transport of children to and from the center not including off premise activities as described in Rule .1005 of this Section. For routine transport of children to and from the center, staff shall have a list of the children being transported. Staff members shall use this list to document attendance as children board the vehicle and as they depart the vehicle. A list of all the children being transported shall also be available at the center. Please review all components of SECTION .1000 - TRANSPORTATION STANDARDS in the childcare rules prior to developing your policies to ensure that all transportation requirements will be met. Once policies have been submitted and approved, and the vehicle has been monitored and approved, you would be eligible to transport. During today's visit, we discussed the possibility of adding second shift care to your license. If you would like to add second shift later, email me the request to add second shift and we will look into adding this restriction to your license. We discussed that you would need to have program records specific to second shift care.
