During the course of the investigation, it was discovered that a child had an allergic reaction to some food after getting into another child's lunch. This occurred when there was only one program staff in the toddler room and they had their back turned to prepare lunch. During an onsite observation on 2/20/26 I observed children waiting for 30 minutes for lunch because Teacher 4 was the only program staff in the toddler room.
