Lead safety check·April 14, 2023

On April 14, 2023 at 10:47am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Indira Loza met with Co-Director/Teacher Allyssa Adair to conduct an unannounced case management inspection regarding a lead exceedance from a drinking fountain in the center. The water supply located on the backside of the the "Backyard Classroom" exceeded the acceptable amount of lead allowed in a child care center. During the unannounced inspection LPA toured the facility for a health and safety check. LPA observed the faucet (Site G) inoperable to children in care. The faucet labeled "Site G" must either be permanently disabled or will remain inoperable and not be used until the facility is notified that the amount of lead in the water supply is acceptable. If the Licensee chooses not to permanently disable the fountain then they shall contact the water sampler agency to schedule an appointment and submit results by May 26, 2023. The Director is advised to email LPA with a date of when the results will are ready. See 809-D for deficiency. Exit interview conducted. Report and Appeal Rights provided to Teacher Encian Pastel.
