What happens if the epi-pen the daycare has for my child has expired, or if my child arrives at daycare without the epi-pen they are authorized to carry?

Children who require an epi-pen but do not have one onsite, or whose epi-pen is expired, will not be able to attend Jackman Community Daycare until a valid (non-expired) epi-pen is provided and kept onsite.  Parents will be contacted to pick up their child. A refund will not be provided.

Extensions to the expiry date will only be accepted if a parent provides written confirmation from a pharmacist regarding a documented epi-pen shortage, and the parent acknowledges that in case of an emergency, the daycare will be administering an expired epi-pen.​​
