Due to lead testing requirements, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), Eric Ramos, Giselle Carbullido and Chase Atherton conducted a Case Management inspection based on lead testing results received on the facility. LPAs toured the facility, took census, and met with facility representative, Alondra Ladison to discuss lead testing results and measures taken for remediation of lead exceedances.

During the inspection, LPAs toured and reviewed photos of the following water outlets identified with lead exceedances: Outlet M re-labeled as outlet D registered 41.0ppb in December 2025 and 12.0ppb in January 2026; Outlet D re-labeled as outlet A at 22.0ppb in December 2025 and 20.0ppb in January 2026; Outlet H re-labeled as outlet B at 6.8ppb in December 2025 and 14.0 ppb in January 2026. Facility implemented the following plan of action for retests on water outlets: A,B, and D.

LPAs observed all 3 outlets are inaccessible and not in use. Additionally, LPA observed bottled water service from vendor- Sparkletts used for Primo water dispensers and portable classroom sinks.


LPAs observed facility has access to additional water resources: fountains/using water sports jugs for indoor/outdoor areas.
Due to facility water outlets testing above approved lead levels, a deficiency has been cited. See LIC809-D.

The following resources were discussed and provided from PIN 21-21.1-CCP dated December 28, 2022: which includes information on: 101700.6 Grant Funding for Qualifying Child care Centers and instructions for remediation.

An exit interview was conducted, and appeal rights discussed. LPAs provided facility representative, Alondra Ladison with a copy of this report, appeal rights and notice of site visit. This report must be made available to the public upon request for three years.

FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:
  • Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
  • Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.
