25 | On January 23, 2023 at approximately 2:10pm Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) R. Haderer arrived for a meeting with site director Juana Disla De Perez to review the results of the recent lead testing. There were 21 children in care and 3 fingerprint and associated staff present. The center is in ratio today.
On December 28, 2022 a lead test sample was drawn for 10 water locations in the facility. Lab results analyzed found that locations A in classroom 2 and C in classroom 3 showed lead levels to be 10.9ppb and 6.5ppb (respectively). Values greater than 5.5 ppb is deemed an Action Level Exceedance and requires the issuance of a deficiency and a Plan of Correction. The other 8 locations tested were less than 5.5ppb and/or ND - non-detected.
The faucets A and C have not been in use, both classrooms (2 and 3) have not been used by children since prior to Covid. Also, children bring their own bottled water from home and if needed, they are provided with Britta filtered water. The facility does not prepare or cook food.
Upon arrival to review the test results, LPA viewed a plan of correction and the lead testing results posted in a public area. All parents have been informed of the test results and received a copy of the plan of action.
In addition to the above, a Type B deficiency and plan of correction was documented and issued today, see LIC809D. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the site director Juana Disla da Perez. |
