Based on document review, the facility does not have a written peanut or nut free policy within their handbook. LPA observed and learned through interviews that after the incident on 06/17/21, the facility has signs posted that indicate that the facility is nut-free, and has informed all children, staff, and families of their nut-free policy. Staff interviewed stated that they administered the medication based on the physician’s prescription that was provided, medication release forms obtained, and through approval of day care child’s authorized representative. Due to conflicting information obtained through interviews and documentation, LPA was unable to determine if a violation occurred. Based on the investigation conducted, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. As a result, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. Report reviewed with Program Coordinator and copies were provided. Notice of Site Visit was issued and Program Coordinator understands that it must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal Rights were also provided and discussed.
