25 | On February 27, 2023, 3:00PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Dayna Chambers conducted an unannounced case management inspection and met with Stacey Smith-Clark, Ste Supervisor. This is a preschool program with four classrooms. There were 35 children and 13 staff present during the inspection. Facility operation hours are Monday to Friday from 7:00am to 5:30PM. This center follows Title 22 and Title 5 regulations.
The purpose of today's inspection was to discuss the water lead test results. Results show that one water source had action level exceedance (ALE) of lead. The Sink’s Bubbler in Room #POD B had a lead exceedance of 32.6 points per billion (ppb).
At 3:30PM., LPA observed and tested all water sources with ALE. Water sources were observed to be corrected and POD B is an off-limits room and inaccessible to children. POD B107 is used for storage. POD B was never licensed by CCLD to use for children. Per Director, children’s water is made readily available to children via filtered drinking fountains and cups. LPA observed filtered fountains and cups in the classrooms. LPA reminded Director that lead results must be posted where they are accessible to parents. The Lead exceedance team corrected the ALE on 12/20/2022 by replacing a pipe that affected the water source and re-tested on January 4, 2023 with a result of 1.88 points per billion (ppb). LPA took photos of the sink and corrected pipe. Per Director, the sink faucet will not used nor will it be used in the future for drinking water or food preparation. This center does not have a kitchen. Lunches are catered in by food program. The center does provide an AM and PM snack.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
Exit interview was conducted with Director, Stacey Clark-Smith. A copy of this report and appeal rights were discussed and provided to the Director, whose signature on this form confirm receipt of these documents. |
