Empowering Educators and Caregivers

At NC Nurse Consulting, LLC, our health and safety consultations are designed to support childcare centers in creating environments where children can grow, play, and thrive—safely. With over two decades of nursing experience and specialized training in public health, pediatrics and childcare health consultation, we conduct comprehensive on-site visits to assess every aspect of your health and safety processes and protocols.

We evaluate:
-Classroom health practices (e.g., handwashing, diapering, food safety)
– Safe sleep environments for infants
– Infection control, communicable diseases and exclusion policies
 -Cleaning, sanitation, and disinfection routines
 -Playground, indoor safety hazards and injury prevention
 -Medication administration and storage
 -Staff health and wellness practices
 -Emergency preparedness plans (fire, evacuation, lockdown, etc.)

Following each visit, you’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report with findings, prioritized recommendations, and suggested timelines for improvement. We also offer follow-up support to ensure your center is fully prepared for licensing visits and daily operations. Our approach is collaborative and respectful—we’re here to guide, not to inspect.

Well-crafted health policies are essential for compliance, consistency, and peace of mind. We work closely with directors, administrators, and program owners to develop or revise policies that align with local and state licensing regulations (VA, MD, WV, NC), national health standards, and the unique needs of your child care program.

We help you create or update:
 -Health and illness exclusion policies
 – Infectious disease protocols
 -Safe sleep and infant care policies
 -Emergency preparedness and response plans
 -Medication administration and documentation procedures
 -Individualized Health Care Plans (IHCPs) for children with chronic conditions
 -Food allergy and anaphylaxis management plans
 -Staff and parent communication guidelines

We don’t just hand over templates—we help you understand, personalize, and implement each policy so that your entire team feels confident and prepared. We also offer training to ensure that all staff understand how to apply the policies in real-time situations.

We offer state-approved training designed specifically for early childhood educators, directors, caregivers, and home daycare providers. Our courses equip you with the knowledge and confidence to handle critical health and safety responsibilities in childcare settings. Training topics include:

• Medication Administration (Coming Soon) – Learn safe practices for storing, documenting, and administering medication in compliance with state regulations.

• Communicable Diseases in Childcare Settings – Understand how to identify, manage, and prevent the spread of infectious illnesses among children and staff.

• Caring for Children with Special Needs – Gain practical tools and inclusive strategies for supporting children with diverse developmental, medical, and behavioral needs.

Each training session is interactive, up-to-date with current regulations, and immediately applicable in real-world childcare environments. Whether you’re looking to meet licensing requirements or enhance your team’s skills, our trainings are here to support your growth and success.
