LPA met with Site supervisor, Sara Krikorian. Site Supervisor guided LPA on a tour. LPA observed 10 children and 3 staff present at the facility during this inspection.

The SWRCB report indicated the facility was inspected and samples were collected on 07/29/2022. Faucets and drinking fountain reported with 5.5 ppb or greater lead exceedance levels were as follows:
