Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amy Strother made an unannounced case management visit to the facility after receiving an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) report on 03/03/25, regarding an infant (C1) being given a portion of another infant’s (C2's) bottle by mistake on 03/03/25. Today, LPA met with Facility Representative, Director, Sarah Morrison (D1).

During today’s visit, 19 infants were being supervised by 5 teachers, between the two classrooms, operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. LPA interviewed D1, Staff 1 (S1) and Staff 2 (S2).

Both staff interviewed stated that bottles for C1 and C2 were both labeled with the infants names, as required. The report stated that staff S1 and S2 were providing breaks to infant teachers when the incident occurred. Staff interviewed corroborated that they were relieving teachers for breaks during the incident. S2 stated that she occasionally fills in when needed in the infant room and was moving too quickly and did not double check that the bottle was the correct bottle when she went to feed C1. The report stated that after C1 drank about 1 to 1.5oz of the bottle containing breast milk, mixed with formula, fed to C1 by S1, S2 noticed that C1 was drinking C2's bottle by mistake. S2 stated during the interview that the remaining contents of the bottle were disposed of and C1 and C2 were given fresh bottles. Based on record review and interviews conducted, there is a preponderance of evidence to show that on 03/03/25 C1 was given a bottle containing breast milk mixed with formula, and not C1's own bottle of Enfamil Gentlease formula as noted in C1's Needs and Service/Care Plan.

During today's visit LPA reviewed the "Infant and Toddler Care Plan" for eight infants (C1-C8). Infant needs and services plans shall be updated at least quarterly, or as often as necessary to assure its accuracy. LPA observed that C2's plan had not been updated since 10/01/24 and had breast milk listed as, "...to be fed the following:" and did not mention mixing breast milk with formula. D1 stated that C2's bottle on 03/03/25 was brought it pre-mixed by C2's authorized representative and they were told that it was a combination of breast milk and formula.
