License/Certicates/Approvals Posted
There is a child currently enrolled in the program who is prescribed an inhaler and nebulizer. Educator does not have current consent to administer these medications. However, the medications are not currently stored at the program. Due to the fact that they are prescribed medications, Licensor discussed with Educator that these either need to be accessible at the program, or the child's doctor needs to provide documentation stating this is not required.
