Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On February 23, 2024, at approximately 10:30 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Josiah Gathing met with Program Secretary Brittney Rand to conduct an unannounced case management inspection. School was closed and there were no children in care during today's inspection. The purpose of today's inspection was to create a plan of correction following reports of lead exceedance in three of the facility outlets. On December 14, 2023, the facility tested water samples for lead. One water outlet sampled indicated an Action Level Exceedance (ALE). This outlet is marked A on the facility sketch provided by the center. On January 22, 2024 the Licensing Program was notified that water levels were in exceedance of 5 parts per billion in tested location. Signs have been placed on the outlet in exceedance stating that the outlet should not be used for drinking or food preparation. Program Secretary stated that the faucet has already been replaced, will be flushed daily once school session resumes, and will be re-tested in three weeks. LPA received the lead testing map and other required documents (LIC 9275 External Water Sampler Self-Certification Form and LIC 9276 Child Care Center Sampling Checklist Form) from Program Secretary during today's inspection. A deficiency is cited on the following LIC809-D and the plan of correction was reviewed with Program Secretary, Brittney Rand. A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided to Program Secretary.
