Follow-up on corrections·June 7, 2022

On 06/07/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Katy Maestas met with Center Manager Cindy Sigala for a Case Management inspection. Upon arrival, LPA disclosed the purpose of the visit and was granted entrance by Sigala. The purpose of the inspection was to follow-up on a lead testing report dated 04/25/2022 which tested the water used for both consumption and hand washing in the facility. LPA toured the facility and 6 staff members were supervising 6 children. LPA verified that all adults were cleared and associated to the license through accessing Guardian. LPA was notified of the lead testing report on 04/26/2022 via email. The report revealed that two water outlets had elevated levels of lead. Center Manager Sigala reported that the fountains had been marked as "closed" and were currently inaccessible for use. Sigala also stated the fountains had not been used since March 2020 when they were tapped off to be inaccessible for use due to COVID-19. During today's inspection, LPA verified that the affected water outlets are not in use. The fountains were replaced on 04/26/2022. Sigala stated that she is finished flushing the water outlets as they were re-tested for lead on 06/01/2022 and 06/02/2022. Sigala is waiting for the completed report from Adviro. Sigara understands that the report should be sent to LPA via email by 06/21/2022. As a result of the water testing positive for lead, a deficiency was cited on a subsequent page, 809D. An exit interview was conducted and the report was reviewed with Center Manager, Cindy Sigala. Licensee Appeal Rights were provided. A Notice of Site was posted by LPA and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
