25 | On 04/11/2023, Licensing Program Analyst Katy Maestas (LPA) conducted a field visit to the facility for the purpose of a case management inspection. LPA arrived at the facility and was met by Director Michelle Roy (D1). LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entrance into the facility. LPA toured the Preschool and observed 0 children in attendance. LPA determined, through accessing Guardian, that all required staff members were background cleared.
LPA followed-up on a lead testing report dated 03/27/2023 which tested the water used for consumption. The Department was notified of the testing on 04/04/2023. It was determined that one faucet in the kitchen tested for elevated levels of lead. LPA observed the faucet in the kitchen blocked off and marked as closed and inaccessible for use. The facility is using bottled water for drinking, food arrives prepackaged, and the teacher's bathroom is available for hand washing. D1 stated that the intent is to repair or replace the faucet and to have it re-tested.
As a result of the water testing for elevated levels of lead, a deficiency was cited on subsequent 809-D page. An exit interview was conducted and the report was reviewed with D1. LPA provided Licensee Appeal Rights to D1. A Notice of Site visit was posted by LPA and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
