Lead safety check·February 24, 2023

On 2/24/23 at 1:00 pm Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Monica Mathur and Kevin Gaines conducted an unannounced inspection at YMCA Childcare Strandwood. LPA met with Director, Andrea Garcia and explained the purpose of today's inspection which is to follow up on Lead Testing results at the Center. LPA conducted an inspection and toured the premises with Director, Andrea Garcia. It was indicated that there was at least one outlet in the kitchen area that exceeded the Action Level established by the State for exposure. Director states the outlet was used for drinking water and has not been in use since COVID. Outlet has been removed permanently since the test. Due to outlet being used by children for drinking, it posed a potential risk to health and safety of children in care. Deficiency is cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (see 809D) . Since the outlet has been permanently removed, the deficiency was cleared during today's inspection. Letter of Clearance was provided. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Director, Andrea Garcia. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
