Next on rewind, wral investigates the states daycare Rating System and why repeated violations rarely impact a facilitys status its one of the most important did you choose the right childcare facility . Wral investigates decided to take a closer look at the states star Rating System following the arrest of a worker for child abuse at a raleigh daycare. And still does, despite other recent violations. Turns out, as wrals Cullen Browder reports those violations have little impact on a facilitys rating. A worker at this Appletree Child Development center on poole road in raleigh accused of inappropriately touching children during a movie field trip last year. This month, a worker at this appletree daycare on old poole road in raleigh criminally charged with child abuse. I saw that woman take my child and she threw him it when she saw video showing teacher Tracey Stallings shove her 18 month old son elijah. The mother says she vetted close to 20 Daycare Centers before choosing appletree. I thought i made the right choice with the right day care. But, t didnt. I was wrong. Wral investigates took a closer look at the history of both 5 star centers. What we found shows the star system is an incomplete measure. Only thing a parent should look at . Barnes. Absolutely not. Tamara barnes oversees North Carolinas regulation of 6500 childcare centers. She says the Rating System is simply one Research Tool for parents. The star rating is there to help them get started. Turns out violations rarely lower a facilitys star rating. After the state substantiated the inappropriate sexual contact by a worker at the appletree on poole road in they found violations in six of those visits ranging from Hazardous Materials not properly stored to a staff member unaware of two children inappropriately touching each other. The state issued warning letters giving staff two weeks to implement corrective action plans including orders to maintain compliance at all times. Despite that, inspectors returned to the facility and found more violations. Still, theres no record of further penalty and the 5 star rating remained. Removed based on how serious the situation is. Barnes says dhhs issues probation or a provisional license about 4 hundred times a year, but for legal reasons couldnt explain why it didnt happen at appletree. Down the road at the appletree on old poole road state consultants visited 21 times in the past two years and found violations 9 times not including the recent child abuse case. Background checks for employees, and an infant crawling out of the room and down the hallway unsupervised. Again no change to the five star rating. Barnes points to 2005 when state lawmakers essentially took compliance out of the rating equation. Dhhs 23 53 18 we couldnt find indicators that showed that the compliance history really helped us with the health and safety of children stars are now awarded based on staff education and program standards. Facilities only need a 75 percent compliance a lot of times there are things that happen that really, the owner had nothing to do with in a childcare facility. Cullen. But, if its someone who may work in childcare again, you want to prevent that. Barnes. Absolutely. Barnes says punishing a center for the actions of one worker isnt always fair. Sharpe isnt so sure. They should not be allowed to work with any that was Cullen Browder reporting. We reached out to appletree, which has four facilities in raleigh all of which carry 5 stars. Owner Carolyn Driggers says her facilities provide excellent care for children. As for the recent incidents, driggers says the state. Investigates and issues a determination according to what they found. It may mean that a center has to increase training, change methods or implement new policies. We have always abided by any instructions given to us. Appletree eventually fired teacher Tracey Stallings. The bottom line for parents use the star Rating System as one tool go to wral.
