As an early childhood educator and a parent, I do not feel comfortable with early learning centers taking on this responsibility. This drug is a prescription and requires special training to prescribe and administer. Educators are there to educate and monitor overall well-being. We are not paid medical professionals.
As a parent, I would not want a center making an educated guess that could endanger a child in this way. It is a guardian's responsibility to provide medical supplies. The fact that this particular type is extremely expensive is something that should be addressed, politically. But the solution is not to be put it on the shoulders of educators who already do so much.
