An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance with Documented Violations: Medication: Medicines can be crucial to the health and wellness of children. They can also be very dangerous if the wrong type or wrong amount is given to the wrong person or at the wrong time. A medical action plan is required for children that need emergency medication, the form needs to be completed by the parent or a health care professional. All medications for children present at the center must have a current, completed medication permission form even if there is a Medical Action Plan. Medication permission forms are valid for a defined length of time and must be updated, if needed. A child enrolled in space #1 had an Epi Pen and Albuterol Inhaler on file with written permission from the parent that expired 2/26/26. A second Epi-Pen was on file with written permission from the parent that expired 2/20/26. We discussed that it would be helpful to write the expiration date of the medication and the expiration date of the written permission form on the allergy list. This will be a visual that is reviewed frequently and will remind you in advance of expiration dates. A child enrolled in space #1 had an Epi- Pen on file that expired 4/30/26. The lead teacher stated that the parent recently let her know that the child no longer has a peanut allergy after further testing and should have sent the medication home with the parent. We discussed that it would be helpful to use a digital calendar that can send out reminders in advance of medication and medication forms expiring. Create a visual with medication expiration dates and medication permission form expiration dates at the beginning of the school year.

Additional Comments: ABCMS: I shared Applicant Background Check Instructions during the visit for three staff members to renew their background checks over the summer and expire October 2026.

The law states that a sex offender shall not knowingly reside within 1,000 feet of the property on which any public or nonpublic school or child care center is located. This does not apply to child care centers that are located on or within 1,000 feet of property of an institution of higher education where the registrant is a student or is employed. All licensed child care centers must register to receive e-mail notification when a registered sex offender moves within a one-mile radius of the center.
