25 | On 10/19/2023 at 1:42 AM Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Catherine Fernandes and Brittany Crass conducted an unannounced case management inspection regarding a lead exceedance at the facility. LPAs met with the Director Miesha Lampkins and explained the purpose of today's inspection. Present in care were 10 preschoolers and two additional staff members.
The facility tested its drinking water for lead contamination on 08/8/2023 and C1 (the sink located in primary two classroom) and E1 (located outside) has exceeded the acceptable amount of lead allowed at a childcare facility with a result of C1 7.0ppb and E1 15.0ppb. The licensee failed to maintain a lead value at or below the Action Level for water lead testing resulting with values of 5.5ppb or greater for water sources C1 and E1.
Water testing results identified with Action Level Exceedance as defined in WD section 101700.3 are not deemed safe to drink (See 809D for deficiency being cited today). The C1 sink in primary two classroom has been turned off from the water supply and the senor for the sink is covered and stated it is not being used. E1 is outside and connected to a hose and the portable hand washing sink, the sink is unplugged from the water outlet. The director has provided the required documents to the LPAs while at the center.
