On February 2, 2023 at 8:55 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Leilani Curtis conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection, for reported Lead Exceedance. LPA met with Director, Daphne Landa. LPA toured the facility with Assistant Director Katrina Hoffman. Also present in the facility were 48 daycare children and 7 teachers/staff. Facility was within ratio & capacity. Staff members have the required background clearances and are associated to the facility. LPA interviewed staff and examined the faucets and drinking fountains deemed an Action Level Exceedance. Facility provided facility sketch and required forms (LIC 9275/9276) to the Department via email on 10/17/22.

Faucets and drinking fountains reported with 5.5 ppb or greater lead exceedance levels were as follows:

Fixture A-Kitchen Sink: 6.2 ppb

Fixture L-PreK yard water/drinking fountain 8.3 ppb

Fixture M-PS yard water/drinking fountain 6.4 ppb

Fixture N- PS yard water/drinking fountain 5.8 ppb

All other fountains and water outlets tested within an acceptable level with no lead exceedance. Parents were notified via email of the lead exceedance and testing results were posted on 11/18/22. The director reported that all faucets in exceedance (Fixtures A, L, M and N) were discontinued from use on 10/29/22. At the time of inspection LPA observed “Out of Service” Signs next to each fixture with lead exceedance. To ensure that the affected faucets/drinking fountains are not used the water was turned off. The director states that the fixtures were replaced with certified low-lead fixtures on 1/26/23. The water faucets/fixtures will be conditioned for at least three weeks by flushing them 4 times a day, and then re-tested by a certified third-party sampler. Parents/guardians and Community Care Licensing will be notified of the follow up testing results once they have been received.
