LaLa's Home Daycare

Based on the seriousness of the deficiencies cited in the investigation, it was determined that the permit holder is not ensuring that she is running her home in compliance with the Minimum Standard Rules.

Infant feeding schedules are not being reviewed, updated and signed every 30 days. Feeding instructions are provided upon enrollment and not updated and signed by the parent every 30 days.

During the course of this investigation it was determined that the provider continued to use the extra mattresses in the play yards after being cited on 8/13/21. On 8/27/21 a follow up inspection was conducted by Child Care Regulation. The provider admitted to parents that extra mattresses continued to be used after she was cited for using them, and they were removed prior to Child Care Regulation entering the home.

An infant feeding plan was not followed when the provider fed an infant an additional 2-4 ounces of formula on multiple occasions. The infant feeding plan provided by the parent instructed the provider to prepare 4oz every 2.5-3 hours.

The primary caregiver did not use good judgment when she fed an infant formula that the parents asked her specifically not to use. The provider also used a faster nipple for the infant's bottle than provided by the parent and without permission.

During the course of this investigation is was determined that an infant was fed a bottle while laying flat on their back causing them to choke on the formula.

A household member did not have complete background check and has not received the eligibility letter.

This standard is being recited as the pack n plays are still being supplemented with mattresses that do not follow manufacturer instructions nor were they designed by the manufacturer.

During the administrative review process the original citation, HRC42.04412(a) - Interference with an Investigation, was overturned. This standard for making records available during an inspection is more specific and details the records that were not made available to the inspector upon request.

During the 07/27/2021 inspection, I observed two mattresses were placed in a Graco play yard. One was a Dream on Me mattress and one was a thinner mattress. The manufacturer instructions state you must never supplement the Graco Play mattress pad with other mattresses, pads, or pillows.
