Incident investigation·June 17, 2024

On 06/17/2024 at 9:00AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), A. Curry conducted an unannounced visit to follow up on a self-reported unusual incident where a child was served food the child was allergic to. LPA met with Office manager Amber Thompson and Assistant Director, Amanda Lyon, to explain the purpose of today's visit. LPA toured the facility and conducted interviews. Although staff indicated it was a rare occasion to serve foods children are allergic to, C1 has a known sunflower seed allergy and was served sun butter (See 809). Once facility was aware of the allergic reaction, staff immediately administered an Epi-Pen, contacted paramedics, and the child's authorized representative. During today's visit, LPA also toured additional space that was added to the 2s classroom in the original building. The space is currently separated by a safety gate. LPA will follow up with Director, Claire Peterson, to verify if additional furniture will be added to the space. If additional furniture, equipment, and/or toys will be added to the space, LPA will inspect the space again once space is completely finished and ready to be used by children in care. The staff was informed to not use the space until the space has been approved for on-limit use. Exit interview conducted, appeal rights were given, and report was reviewed with the Assistant Director, Amanda Lyon.
