Technical Assistance:
Discussed that caring for a child with a diagnosed food allergy that has emergency medication prescribed, but no medication on site is a high risk situation.
Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted from 3:45 ? 4:30pm with staff. There were 25 children, ranging from five years to nine years of age, present with two staff supervising. Children were observed transitioning from the gym to the cafeteria, taking attendance, and playing in small groups while waiting to go outside. Two onsite staff records and two onsite child records were reviewed at the time of the inspection along with the daily attendance record, emergency drill log, written list of food allergies, sensitivities and dietary restrictions, and the required posted information. Two emergency medications and authorization forms were reviewed; one staff member on site has current Medication Administration Training (MAT) certification. Two staff records were reviewed off site at the YMCA office on 9/6/2023 and two child records were reviewed virtually.
