CCC COMPLETED SAMPLING AND NO LEAD EXCEEDANCES.
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 requested LIC forms associated with the lead water testing from the director. LPA also spoke over the phone with executive director, Kara Hanks for both Olive and Lynwood sites, requesting the 3 LIC forms for lead water testing on 4/18/2024. As of 4/26/24, LPA reviewed the results on the water lead testing database and observed that the results are uploaded with no exceedances.
According to Grace, the facility is using paper records 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 2024. Per staff, drills are done at least every 6 months rotating them between fire and earthquake drills and lock down drills, instructed by the elementary school.
