The North Carolina Secretary of State website was viewed prior to today’s visit and the Limited Liability Corporation, LITTLE JEWELS HOME CHILD CARE LLC, was administratively dissolved on July 24, 2025. The website lists that a notice was mailed on September 23, 2024, however Ms. Page didn’t get that notice. This was four (4) days prior to Tropical Storm Helene so she thinks that might be why she didn’t get the notice. Ms. Page stated that she is working with her accountant, and she thinks all she needs to do is pay the fee and send in the annual report. This information was checked by me and we discussed getting the issue resolved as soon as possible. Permit type – Five-star license issued 8/10/22.

Children worked on an art project creating pumpkins through process art. They used pastels, water color, cutting and gluing. Today is an early release day for public schools, so Ms. Page and the children went on a walk up the driveway to meet the school age children when they got off the bus. When they returned everyone washed their hands and Ms. Page finished preparing lunch while the oldest child read a book to the children. After lunch, children cleaned up, put out their cots and prepared for quiet/rest time. The school age children worked on education activities during this time.
