Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nolan Tcheng conducted an unannounced case management inspection for an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) detected in a water fixture in the facility. Upon Arrival at 12:25pm, LPA met with Lead Teacher Christian Brambila, who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. There were children present during the time of the inspection.

Census was taken. LPA observed 9 children with 2 staff members

LPA reviewed new Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, which requires the testing of water for lead in Child Care Centers (CCCs) with facility director during the inspection. Per AB 2370, all CCCs that are located in buildings constructed before January 1, 2010, must have their water tested and post the results by January 1, 2023, and every 5 years after the date of the first testing.

Facility provided facility sketch and required forms LIC 9276, LIC999 and LIC9275 to LPA during today’s inspection.

On 08/08/2023, the Department received notification from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water (DDW). The SWRCB report indicated the facility was inspected and samples were collected on 08/08/2023. Faucets and drinking fountain reported with 5.5 ppb or greater lead exceedance levels were as follows:

  • A - Water Outlet Room 4 - 5.91ppb
  • A30 - Water Outlet Room 4 - 7.06ppb
  • B -Water Outlet Room 4 Maintenance - 20.2ppb

Lead Teacher states that the children for the preschool program only use Room 5. Room 4 is part of the San Rafael Elementary School and the children enrolled in preschool program do not have access to that room. REPORT CONTINUES PAGE 1 of 2

At this time, children in care are bringing their own water bottle to class every day and water is filled from filtered water on site if they run out. There are also disposable water bottles on site for children who forget their bottle.

Grant funding will be available for testing and remediation of lead to the Child Care Centers that qualify. To make a determination of eligibility, refer to PIN 21-04-CCP. For Lead Testing and Prevention Information, including additional resources please visit

https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/water-testing-information

The facility is not being cited as none of the faucets with lead exceedance are being used for consumption or food preparation. Due to the children not having access to the Room 4 water outlets, there is no risk to the health, safety, and personal rights of children in care.

Notice of Site Visit was provided and must remain post for 30 consecutive days. A copy of PIN 21-21-CCP and appeal rights were provided to facility today.

An exit interview conducted with Lead Teacher Christian Brambila, at 1:25pm, and a copy of this report was provided.
