25 | On May 27, 2022 at 12:55 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Francisco Pedroza conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection to follow-up on an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) reported to the Regional Office by WWD. LPA met with facility Director, Maddy Quaglino and advised her the purpose of the inspection. Director provided LPA a tour of the facility inside and out. There were 12 children in care at the time of the inspection.
Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010 to test their drinking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2023, and then every five (5) years after the date of the first test. If the water testing results indicate that the facility has an ALE, an immediate response shall be required pursuant to section 101704, which may include remediation.
The Regional Office received an ALE for two (2) different water outlets in this facility. The Center was notified by LPA Pedroza of the results on May 27, 2022 by phone. LPA received a response from director stating they have not received the testing results, but the center has taken the following steps as a Plan of Correction (POC): Both outlets have been shutoff for the past two (2) years and labeled to not be used, both outlets were taped off preventing use, and parental notification of the children in classroom room 112 of the water testing results. Classroom 114 has been closed over two years and is only used for storage. Children do not have access to the classroom. The testing report will be posted when received. Director advised LPA that they contacted the Arroyo Grand United Methodist church where the center is located on to advise of the ALE. The church is looking into options to correct ALEs.
