According to the Director, the child #1 (C1) arrived at the daycare in the morning, a health check was conducted and the child did not appear to be ill. After lunch, the Director stated that the child took a nap and when the child woke up, the Teacher, Staff #1 (S1), noticed that the child had a runny nose and felt warm so she took the child's temperature. Due to a high temperature, S1 decided to call the parents and the child was picked up at approximately 2:55 pm and the daycare did not hear from parents until 09/12 when the CCC was informed that C1 had passed. The parents did not reveal the cause of death and were offered support services from the daycare. During this visit LPA conducted interviews with staff and reviewed facility records. Based on information gathered, the facility acted appropriately and no violations have been identified. \302\240CCC acted in timely manner in notifying C1's parents and reporting incident to CCL. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report, appeal rights and notice of site visit was provided to Director.
