Page 2 of 3 Non-Compliances: This section of the Inspection Report lists non-compliances found during any licensing inspection. Information from this section will be reported to Child Care Check and can be used to determine current and future licensing and enforcement actions. An EpiPen was administered to a child in care due to an allergic reaction. Information gathered indicates this child did not have an Individual Care Plan (ICP) on file and did not have a Medication Authorization form on file at the time of the incident. Information gathered also indicates the only documentation in the child’s file regarding allergies was a physician note dated 11/2025 stating the child has allergies to eggs and peanuts. This licensor did not observe documentation of the child’s medication, instructions for administering the medication, or documentation describing allergic reactions or symptoms associated with the child’s allergies. Information gathered further indicates the child who experienced the allergic reaction and received EpiPen treatment was the child of a staff member. The staff member parent was onsite and in the child’s classroom at the time the medication was administered; however, the child’s parent was not the individual who administered the medication.
