The NC Child Care Commission will hold a Special Meeting by teleconference on Friday, July 12, 2019 to review the Request for a Declaratory Ruling submitted by the Wilmington Christian Academy Preschool, a ministry of Grace Baptist Church of Wilmington, Inc. The meeting will be held from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. and will be held at the Division of Child Development and Early Education, Conference Room 165, 333 Six Forks Road, Raleigh, NC 27609. Please see the directions to the Division.

All child care facilities must practice safe travel during routine transportation, as well as on/during field trips. Transporting children in child care is a high-risk activity. Child care operators, staff members, and parents should be aware that transporting children requires careful planning and protective measures to ensure the safety of all children and staff. Careful planning also reduces liability for child care operators and their programs.
