As an Early Childhood Educator, I am concerned over the recent proposal to require preschools to have (and pay for) epi-pens that are not assigned to a child. We have been trained that we are to have all medication assigned to children, with parent and doctor signatures. This would be against the current standards that are set for licensing requirements.  We have also been trained we are not allowed to administer any prescription medicine or treatment without authorization from the child's doctor. Epi-pens are specific to a child's allergy and are specific to a child's weight-- requiring us to have this, evaluate if it is needed, administer without doctor or parent approval, and use the correct one for the child's weight seems like a huge liability. I want the centers to be able to keep the children safe, but I don't feel this is the right way to offer that care for our children.
