25 | On 2/28/25 at 11:00 am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Gerald Poindexter conducted an unannounced case management inspection to follow up on an unusual incident reported by the facility that occurred on 2/12/25. LPA met with Celida Banuelos, center director. LPA toured the facility, inspected the classroom refrigerator (bottles were labeled with today’s date), took a classroom census. Appropriate ratios and supervision were observed.
According to the report submitted by the facility, a daycare child (C1) child #1 was accidentally given child #2's breast milk. Staff estimates that the child drank less than 1oz. of the bottle, when it was recognized that the wrong bottle was administered. They discarded the milk. Child #1 was given their own bottle. Child #2 had an extra supply of milk available for the rest of that day. Parents were notified of the incident.
The three staff present when the incident occurred were interviewed today. At the time of the incident, Staff #2 began the bottle-warming process for child #2, then began to diaper another child, and then requested that Staff #1 feed bottle to child #2. Staff #1 misread the label on the bottle and did not communicate with other staff before giving bottle it to child #1. Ultimately, within about one minute, Staff #2 recognized and communicated the error to Staff #1. Child #1 did not incur a negative reaction. Another teacher, Staff #3 was present in the room attending to other children.
