Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rachel Zeron conducted a case management inspection due to required lead testing requirements based on lead testing results received on the facility. LPA toured the Learning Adventure room, took census and met with Janette Lopez , Director to further discuss lead results received and measures taken for remediation of lead exceedances.

During the inspection, LPA toured and observed the following water outlets identified with lead exceedances: outlet E located in the kitchen(tested at 7.2 ppb) was identified; Outlet E30 which is the same outlet that was flushed for 30 seconds and retested (tested at 14 ppb). The outlet was retested on 12/28/2023 and still did not meet requirements. LPA verified that the required signage for cessation of use was in place. Director indicated that a under sink filter system is in the process of being installed to bring faucet E into compliance. LPA observed Lead results posted in the entry way of the preschool office.

Facility implemented the following plan of action until formal remediation can be completed on water outlet E. The Director posted required signage for non usage of Outlet E. Children bring their own water bottle from home and/or use cups that the facility provides, a container with water is kept in each classroom. The jugs are filled as needed with filtered water.

Due to facility water outlet testing for lead exceedance level above approved lead levels, a deficiency has been cited. See LIC809D.
