On 12/20/2023 @ 9:40AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nancy Diaz conducted an unannounced inspection in reference to facility's recent Lead exceedance report. LPA met with Site Director Celene Marin. Observed present today were 49 children. Appropriate ratios were observed in all the classrooms today.

Recent study indicated that the drinking fountain located by the hallway next to the bathroom deemed an Action Level Exceedance. The drinking fountain located in the hallway was reported to have 6.2 ppb reading.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test.

Site director stated that they have discontinued using the drinking fountain on August 23, 2023. Facility utilizes the faucet located within the same hallway that uses Culligan filtration system for children's drinking water.



See LIC809D for type B citation issue.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with facility representative. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
