On September 16, 2025, at 8:17 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sandra Pulido and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Pauline Beschorner conducted a Case Management visit in response to information received from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water (DDW). Upon arrival, they met with Site Manager Lori Wiedensohler, who was informed of the purpose of the visit.

The visit was related to Assembly Bill 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, which mandates that all licensed Child Care Centers constructed before January 1, 2010, must test their drinking and cooking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter. According to the Site Manager, the center opted to test all sinks ahead of schedule in preparation for adding Room 8 to the license. LPA reviewed the report provided by SWRCB and noted that multiple sinks and faucets in Rooms 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, and 16 were identified as having elevated lead levels. However, documentation did not clearly identify sinks labeled JJ, MM, II, YY, HH, and GG.

Site Manager Lori Wiedensohler stated that the affected faucets had been taken out of service. LPM observed a bag placed near the sink in Room 8, which is not currently in use, indicating it had been tested. At the time of the visit, A-Tech Consulting was on site conducting re-testing. The faucets and sinks were no longer in service for drinking purposes. Interviews with staff confirmed that bottled water is used for drinking and for children’s tooth brushing routines. LPA and LPM observed water dispensers in each classroom and cases of single-use Sparkletts water bottles available when larger bottles are depleted. Additionally, the Site Manager confirmed that water is not used for food preparation, as meals are delivered by the school district.

Although the playground water fountains are filtered, they must also be tested if the facility intends to use

FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:
  • Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
  • Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.
