Food allergies require constant awareness and strong systems. A single mistake could have serious consequences—so preparation is key.
Steps to Take:
• Gather allergy details on your enrollment forms
• Post allergy alerts in classrooms and kitchens
• Train staff on symptoms and emergency responses
• Store EpiPens and medications in clearly marked containers
Use a Food Allergy Tracker to keep allergies top of mind for your entire team. Transparency with parents is equally important—always keep them informed.
