Follow-up on corrections·June 20, 2022

An unannounced, in-person Case Management-Deficiencies inspection was conducted on this date by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Emiko Bell in order to cite for deficiencies. Upon LPA's arrival, LPA was greeted by staff Resa Destiny Carcoba, who permitted LPA to enter the Center. LPA and staff wore face coverings the duration of the inspection as a precautionary measure against COVID-19. The COVID screening questions were posed and all were responded to with "No." At 03:45 Asst. Director Escamilla guided LPA on a tour of the Infant classrooms to take census. In the Infant Room, there were 4 infants with two staff; in T1 and T2, there were seven infants with three staff; in T3, there were nine infants with three staff and in T4, there were six infants with two staff. There were 33 total infants with 13 total staff. The tour was completed at 03:55 pm. The Center is being cited per a directive issued by CDSS CCL CCC Water Testing, which stated that two of the outlets/faucets on the Infant side tested have a lead exceedance-referred to as an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) of over 5 parts per billion. A citation has been issued. During the inspection, Asst. Director Escamilla received a hard copy of the report from the CCC lead testing communications point of contact, which was received via email on Friday 06/17/122 Page 2/2 During the inspection, Asst. Director Escamilla received a hard copy of the report from the CCC lead testing communications point of contact, which was received via email on Friday 06/17/122 after close of business. On the report, it was stated that, "Exceedance of the 5 pg/l ALE was not identified at the Fairplex Child Development Center. ...Based on the laboratory anayltical results, Fairplex Child Development Center meets the licensing requirement of AB 2370 Written Directives for Lead Testing of Water in Licensed Child Care Centers." As there is a discrepancy, though LPA Is issuing a citation, the Plan Of Correction will be that the Center is appealing the citation and not that the water outlets/fountains with an ALE will be placed out of service. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Assistant Director Ruby Escamilla.
