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).
Based on record review and interview, the facility tested the water for lead after January 1, 2023. Facility tested the water for lead on October 2023. LPA requested the LIC forms 999, 9275 and 9276 from the director. During the visit, the certified water samplers were contacted and the test results were uploaded into the database. LPA advised staff to contact the certified water samplers to upload the results. LPA observed from the courtesy report that Fixture D is at 12 ppb of lead. Per Rossana, that fixture is located in a library room that is currently not used and not part of the day care facility at this time. Per director, she plans to add that room once the construction is done and will replace/retest the affected fixture in addition to the two water fountains that LPA observed located in the kitchen.
According to Katia, the facility is using Curacubby 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 March 20, 2024. Per staff, drills are done at least every month rotating them between fire and earthquake drills and led by the school district.
LPA reviewed the facility records. LPA reviewed 6 children's files during the visit. LPA reviewed 4 staff files with qualifying requirements such as 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.
