On 01/23/2025, CCLE received a complaint in which alleges a parent provided dietary restriction for no meat for her child and the Childcare gave meat to the child. Findings: A complaint inspection was conducted on 01/27/2026 and a statement was received from the director that the child was provided a lunch form home. When lunch was served, the cook brings the plated food into the classroom and places them on the tables. The child sat down in front of her lunch and the school lunch being served. Per the director, the beef portion of the lunch is typically removed before the child can access it. In this case, the child ate the beef before the classroom teachers could remove it from her plate. The childs file was reviewed and there was a physicians note explaining the dietary restrictions: No Beef or Pork. The childs allergy/food restriction was posted in the proper places. The Director was unaware of this incident until the parent complained that the child was having a reaction. This complaint is substantiated. This was put back into compliance by the provider changing the food serving procedures to allow for active supervision while food is being served
