Description:	Based on records reviewed, 6 of 9 children's records did not include documentation that parents had reviewed the emergency information annually. Evidence: More than 1 year has passed for Child #1, #2, #3, #4, #8 and #9.
Plan of Correction:	These records have now been updated. I will set annual reminders for the parent review checks.

Description:	Based on records reviewed, 1 of 9 children's records did not include required health/medical information. Evidence: The record for Child #12 did not include actions to take in an emergency situation due to the child's allergies.
