An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance: Infant feeding- Following an infant feeding plan in child care ensures individual nutritional needs are met, supports healthy development and eating habits. Today, it was shared that there was an incident on 9/24/25, with an infant not being fed a bottle at the scheduled 9:00 am and 12:00 pm feeding times. It was reported that staff assigned to that classroom were not present on that day and staff not typically assigned to the space were caring for the children. Additionally, it was stated that the board in the classroom had “The nine o’clock and twelve o’clock times were marked out” and based on this staff assumed the child had those bottles, and when the Assistant Director came in to assist the teacher, she found three bottles labeled with the child’s name in the refrigerator. The Assistant Director then contacted the parent to make them aware of what happened. Technical assistance was given to allow children to have their bottles while still in the highchair with their meals instead of bottle feeding them later, if that aligns with the feeding plan provided by the parent. We also discussed staff communication, documentation of feedings and the training provided to the staff, specifically pertaining to infant care. When having substitute staff in the classroom, you may need to check in with them more frequently to ensure they are not in need of support. You stated that following the incident you provided additional training and continuous coaching for the staff present on the date of the incident.

The allegations are as follows: There are concerns regarding infant feeding practices. Enrollment: Space # 6 Staff- L. Bishop, R. Dixon Nine children, zero years of age enrolled; six children zero years of age present One child, one year of age enrolled; one child, one year of age present Staff/child ratio, group size, supervision, use of licensed space, and space capacity were monitored. I observed children in the indoor space. Upon arrival, children were seated at the table having morning snack. One staff sat with the children as the other staff assisted children with clean up and transition to indoor free play. Staff were observed talking with the children, singing songs and assisting them with their individual needs. Today’s menu consisted of cheese toast and milk. Based on information provided concerning infant feedings, I completed classroom observations, interviewed administrators and select staff, and reviewed Infant Feeding Plans. It was reported that on September 24, 2025, a staff in space #6 called for assistance in locating the bottle for a child needing a feeding at 3:00 pm. The Assistant Director went into the classroom and found the child had three bottles, located in the door of the refrigerator, but knew the child’s feeding plan required a 9:00 am and 12:00 pm bottle. She was able to confirm the child did not receive a bottle at those two feeding times. Based on information received from interviewed staff, the finding regarding the allegation is confirmed. The following violation was documented. Violation Number Comment Rule 540 An individual written feeding plan was not provided by child's parent or health care provider or was not followed and posted. One September 24, 2025, an infant enrolled in space #6 did not received a bottle at 9:00am and 12:00pm as stated on the written feeding plan. 10A NCAC 09 .0902(a) 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 October 17, 2025, I must receive a written, dated, and signed compliance letter that describes accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected.

The program’s compliance history was ninety nine percent as of 6/6/25. The NC Secretary of State website was reviewed on 6/6/25 and Opendoor CDC, LLC was listed as current- active. We reviewed your facility contact information listed on the Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) website and the facility email address was updated. Contact me if you need to make any changes to your contact information, e.g., phone numbers, mailing address. A walk-through of the program, was completed, monitoring all indoor and outdoor areas. Nine groups of children were observed in both the indoor and outdoor learning environments. Children enrolled in spaces #1 and #6 received care according the their individual needs, including tummy time, diapering, and naps. Safe sleep checks were completed and documented as required. Children throughout the facility were participating in group time, music and movement, transitions, and personal care routines. The teachers interacted with children through activities, conversations, and play. Files for new staff were reviewed. A fire inspection and sanitation inspection remain current. The following violations were observed during the visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children. One panel of the exterior wall, on outdoor space #2. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(a) 841 Medications including prescription and non-prescription items were not stored in a locked cabinet or other locked container.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance: Medication-Administering medication requires skill, knowledge and careful attention to detail. Parents/guardians and prescribing health professionals must give a caregiver/teacher written authorization to administer medication to the child. Caregivers/teachers must be diligent in their adherence to the medication administration policy and procedures to prevent any inadvertent medication errors, which may be harmful to the child. There is always a risk that a child may have a negative reaction to a medication, and children should be monitored for serious side effects that may require an emergency response. Medications may change chemically beyond their expiration date and should not be used. Today, I observed one tube of Aquaphor Healing Ointment that expired on 3/2025, located in space #6. One canister of Aquaphor Healing Ointment was located on the changing table of space #5. In space #9, there was one twin pack box of epinephrine injector pins, that did not have a pharmacy label on it. We discussed your current monitoring system for tracking medications and authorization forms. Currently medications and authorizations must be reviewed by administrative staff upon acceptance into the facility. You reported that medications and authorizations were logged on a spreadsheet and periodically reviewed. Today, we discussed making a tracking tool for each classroom and have scheduled times, at least monthly, where a staff member looks at all medications and their authorization forms to ensure forms are current and complete and neither has expired. Outdoor Environment- Today, I observed a panel of the exterior wall of the building, on outdoor space #2, had the lower right corner missing and the lower half of the panel was not attached to be building. You stated that there had been some previous repairs made to the exterior wall, but you were unsure if it was that panel. You were able to put in a work order during the visit. When completing your daily outdoor inspections, be sure to observe all areas for hazards, including areas that are not the climbing structure or ride on toys. When a hazard is observed, it should be addressed immediately. Review your facility’s requirements and process for reporting damages and the procedures are to ensure the safety of the children when using the outdoor areas. In the meantime, this area needs to be made inaccessible to children.

You stated you can not speak to this, but your current practice is to review the policy during the tour of the infant classroom and/or the first day of enrollment. Upon enrolling new infants please review the child’s record or on before the first day to ensure all required documents are on file and all policies have been reviewed. Emergency Preparedness Drills- Emergencies occur without warning. Drills are conducted to ensure everyone knows what to do and where to go in the event of an emergency.
