I am a parent whose child attends a wonderful, small in-home daycare in Warrenton. I am writing to express concern about the proposed mandatory stock EpiPen requirement. My child's provider does an excellent job caring for and educating my child, and I trust them completely within their area of expertise. However, I do not believe it is fair or appropriate to require them to make complex medical decisions without proper medical training. The liability risks could force good providers out of business, which would devastate families like mine who depend on quality, affordable child care. Please work with providers to develop solutions that don't place unreasonable burdens on them.
