Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 01/06/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cristina Castellanos conducted an unannounced case management visit. LPA met with Owner/Licensee Fatemeh Nourayi-Agange and explained the purpose of the visit. A tour of the facility was conducted both indoors and outdoors. During today\342\200\231s inspection, there were 3 staff members and 24 children present. Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their drinking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter. Samples testing at or above 5.5 ppb/\302\265g/L are considered exceedances. The purpose of today\342\200\231s visit was to follow up on the facility\342\200\231s lead testing results and conduct an inspection. LPA Castellanos verified that lead sampling was completed on 01/05/2024 . The Licensee provided LPA Castellanos with a copy of the Ellis Environmental Management Report 23-605, dated 01/22/2024, which included LIC 9275, LIC 9276, and sample location photographs of the identified drinking fountains. The facility was identified as having one drinking fountain (Fountain A \342\200\223 Front Yard Play Area) with a reported lead level of 5.28 ppb. This result does not exceed the Action Level of 5.5 ppb for lead in drinking water as established under AB 2370. LPA observed that the drinking fountain identified as \342\200\234A\342\200\235 has been permanently removed from the premises, making it inaccessible to children in care. LPA also observed that water jugs and disposable cups are provided in each classroom for children\342\200\231s use. Continue The CCC has completed required testing and has remediating lead exceedances. LPA Castellanos verified that lead testing was conducted in accordance with the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP. Based on observations, interviews, and review of sampling records, it has been determined that the facility is not in violation of Licensing Regulation Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, Subchapter 5 \342\200\223 California Lead Action Level at Child Care Centers, Section 101700.3(b)(1). An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Licensee Fatemeh Nourayi-Agange. A Notice of Site Visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days.
