I am writing in opposition to the proposed amendment to the Standard for Licensed Child Day Centers requiring centers to possess and administer stock epinephrine to children for whom these medications are not individually prescribed.  Requiring child care staff to administer a high-risk emergency medication to an non-prescribed child puts children and staff at a great risk.  

Child Day Centers are responsible for the safety and well-being of the children enrolled.  We are not doctors, nurses, or emergency medical personnel.  We are educators/caregivers providing a safe environment for everyone.
