On 05/19/2023 Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Paul Garcia and Nancy Her conducted an unannounced case management inspection. LPA met with Director Rosita Barron for the purpose of conducting a case management inspection, regarding a lead exceedance referred to as an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) of over 5.5 parts per billion (ppb) in the water at the facility.

Fresno South Regional Child Care Office received notification of water lead exceedance at the facility resulting from a recent water lead sampling test. Based on records reviewed from Child Care Center Lead Sampling and Reporting Tool and self-reported information from licensee #153808668, outlet AC (Kitchen sink) is impacted with an ALE of 10.9 ppb. This result indicates out of compliance over (ALE) 5.5 ppb. (See Plan of correction for further corrective action 809D). Outlet has temporarily been made inoperable. Director stated that she will have the outlet fixed, and retested for lead exceedance.

The Director stated children are provided water from a potable source. Potable water is also made available to visitors and staff during hours of operation. Facility will post results for parents to review Per PIN 21-21-1 CCP WD 101703 (b). In addition parents and guardians will be notified by letter and verbally of the ALE per PIN 21-21-1 CCP WD 101704 (b)(3).

Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, of the California Code of Regulations, the following deficiency is being cited: (see next page, 809 D)

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the facility representative Claudia Sandoval.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
