The North Carolina — Attendance Agreement for Pre-K Facilities is a document created by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (INCHES) to ensure that all facilities offering pre-kindergarten services are held to the highest standards of child care and safety. This document outlines the health and safety regulations that are to be followed in order to maintain a safe and healthy environment for children. The agreement outlines the expectations for attendance, health and safety protocols, and other requirements for pre-K providers, including the maintenance of records, the provision of meals and snacks, and the completion of a health assessment prior to admission. There are two types of North Carolina — Attendance Agreement for Pre-K Facilities: the traditional agreement and the virtual agreement. The traditional agreement is for physical facilities that offer full-time pre-K services, while the virtual agreement is for facilities that offer part-time or occasional pre-K services. Both agreements are designed to ensure that each pre-K facility meets the necessary standards for providing quality care and safety for children.
