Violations
2Evidence:
1. The record of child #1 (date of enrollment: 10/27/2021) contained a current medication authorization. The medication in the center's lock box expired in January of 2023. The center's procedure for methods to prevent use of outdated medication stated that if medication is found to be out-of-date, the medication must be immediately returned to the locked location. When the child is picked up that same day, the medication must be handed in person to the parent/legal guardian for their disposal. Staff are responsible for completing a medication checklist once a month in order to stay on top of expiring medications and authorization forms.
2. Administration acknowledged that the medication was expired and had not been returned to the parent.

The record of child #4 (date of attendance: 8/29/2022) was missing two (2) complete emergency contacts.
