The program shall obtain the following documents from the parents of each child with a food allergy or other allergy, which results in a serious reaction: (1) A written care plan that includes instructions regarding food(s) or other allergens to which the child is allergic and steps for child care staff to take to avoid the allergens; and (2) A written treatment plan, detailing the treatment to be implemented in the event of an allergic reaction, which shall include: a. The names, doses, and methods of prompt administration of any medications, where the medication needs to be stored in relation to the child, taking into consideration the storage requirements in He-C 4002.21(o)(2), and instructions on how to administer the prescribed medication; and b. Specific symptoms that would indicate the need to administer one or more medications.

The licensing coordinator's observation revealed that the program did not have a written care plan or treatment plan for a child with a known allergy. Corrective action: Attached is a filled out action plan for epi pen from the child's doctor signed. This will be posted in the classroom and staff will be aware of where it is posted. A parents signature will also be added to the document.
