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 completed the lead water testing after the January 1, 2023 due date. The facility is combined with a preschool license #214005495 and infant license #214005628. The facility will be cited a deficiency for not completing the lead water testing on time and the deficiency will be cleared during the time of the visit.

According to Magda, 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 February 9, 2024.
