CCC DID NOT COMPLETE TESTING PRIOR TO THEIR DEADLINE.
Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test.
For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP).
LPA observed that the sink has a 'Brita' filter attached to the faucet and a 'Brita' pitcher utilized to refill children's water bottles. Based on interview and record review, lead water testing is not completed and licensee has completed the form through Cal Rural that was sent by LPA.
According to Marcelle, the facility is using paper for sign in/out. Facility has license and all other required documents posted and visible for the public. Facility has an emergency drill log and last drill was conducted on January 2, 2024. Per Marcelle, drills are done every 6 months.
LPA reviewed the facility records. LPA reviewed 6 children's files during the visit. LPA reviewed 2 staff files with qualifying requirements such ECE Units, CPR and Mandated Reporter Training.
The Director was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption or transfer their existing clearance or exemption prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center.
A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
