On 06/17/2026, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Nohemi Sanchez and Christopher Burnias conducted an unannounced Case Management - Lead Testing/Exceedance inspection. LPAs met with Director Melanie Weber who accompanied LPAs on a tour of the facility, and a census was taken. The purpose of today’s inspection is to address the lead exceedance, referred to as an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) of over 5.5 parts per billion (ppb) in the water at the facility.

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 verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance with the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP. LPA referred Director to the Department website for lead: www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/water-testing-information.

Continued on LIC809-C.

FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:
  • Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
  • Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.

Fresno Regional Office received notification of a water lead exceedance at the facility resulting from a recent lead sampling test. Based on records reviewed in the Child Care Center Lead Sampling and Reporting Tool, multiple outlets were tested on 03/30/2026, with the analysis review completed on 04/02/2026. Kitchen Sink “E” was found to have an ALE of 10 ppb, and Kitchen Sink “F” had an ALE of 6.3 ppb. Both faucets are located in the church hall kitchen area, which is inside a separate building from the school (see plan of correction on LIC 809-D).

The Director reported that these faucets are seldom used by staff and are primarily used to refill the water dispenser. Both Kitchen Sink “E” and Kitchen Sink “F” have been temporarily made inoperable and labeled “Do not use until retested.” The facility has replaced both water faucets and is in the planning stages of resampling for an action-level result under 5.5 ppb with a Certified Sampler.

Children bring personal water bottles to school. Potable water for children is obtained from Classroom #1 and Classroom #4, both of which were tested and did not result in any ALE. LPAs reviewed the posting requirements with the Director and parents will be notified of the ALE results by 06/18/2026.

During the inspection, Director submitted the LIC 9275 External Water Sample Self-Certification Form, the LIC 9276 Child Care Sampling Checklist, and the facility sketch identifying all tested outlets, along with photos taken during the sampling process.

Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1 of the California Code of Regulations, the following deficiency is being cited: (see LIC809-D). Director was provided with appeal rights.

This report shall be made available to the public upon request. LIC 9213 Notice of Site Visit is provided and required to be posted for 30 days
