25 | On 8/29/2024, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Amanda Sutter and Pa Dao Vang met with Licensee Representative Briana Esquivel Diaz for the purpose of a case management inspection regarding lead testing. Upon arrival, LPAs observed two staff supervising three infants, and two staff supervising six preschoolers.
On 8/10/2024, the facility tested water samples for lead. Upon arrival, LPAs were provided with the LIC9275, LIC9276, and facility sketch. Two outlets water sampled indicated an Action Level Exceedance (ALE). These outlets are marked A and B on the facility sketch provided by the center. ‘A’ correlates to the sink on the right-hand wall in the infant room, and ‘B’ correlates to the upper drinking fountain in the cafeteria.
On 8/28/2024 the facility was notified that water levels were in exceedance of 5.5 parts per billion in the locations that were tested. Since notification, both taps have been turned off not allowed for use. Infants have been provided bottled water to use instead. There are alternative drinking fountains available to children in the cafeteria. LPA observed that taps have been turned off and are not currently usable.
Licensee Representative stated that she intends to replace the taps and retest them. LPA informed Licensee Representative of Grant funding for testing and remediation is available referenced from Provider Information Notice PIN 21-04-CCP.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Based on the inspection, one type B citation has been issued. Appeal right were provided. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Licensee Representative Briana Esquivel Diaz. |
