25 | On July 11th, 2022 at 12:30 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jo Ann Legaspi conducted a case management inspection to provide information and resources for lead poisoning prevention requirements. LPA advised Director Jimenez of the meeting’s purpose and was granted facility entry.
The facility serves children ages 2 – 5 years. The following ratios were observed in 4 classrooms: Room 1 had thirteen (13) children (aged 2 - 3 years) supervised by two (2) teachers. Room 2 had sixteen (16) children (aged 3 - 4 years) supervised by two (2) teachers. Room 3 had twelve (12) children (age 4 - 5 years) supervised by two (2) teachers. Room 4 had seven (7) children supervised by two (2) teachers. Appropriate ratios were maintained, and visual observation noted. Staff present had required criminal background clearances.
Childcare centers constructed before 01/01/2010 are to test their water for lead between 01/01/2020 and 01/01/2023 and then every five (5) years after the date of the first lead testing. LPA provided director Provider Information Notice (PIN) 20-01-CCP “Required Lead Testing for Drinking Water in Licensed Child Care Centers and the Provision of the Lead Exposure Information to Parents and Guardians by All Licensed Child Care Facilities” (issued 01/10/2020), PIN 21-21-CCP “Release of the Written Directive for Lead Testing of Water in Licensed Child Care Centers per AB2370” (issued 07/28/2021) and PIN 22-06-CCP “Lead Testing in Child Care Centers – Frequently Asked Questions” (issued 02/25/2022). LPA also provided the director with the LIC 9275 – External Water Sampler Self-Certification Form and the LIC 9276 – Center Sampling Checklist Form. LPA suggests that staff review these PINs on the CCL website so they may gain access to the video imbedded on the online PIN. This video was created by the Office of Water Programs at Sacramento State. Should staff have any questions, LPA recommends they email CCCWaterTesting@dss.ca.gov.
No deficiencies were issued during today's inspection.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director Cristina Jimenez. |
