Lead safety check·December 30, 2022

Due to required lead testing requirements, Licensing Program Analysts(LPAs), Giselle Carbullido and Claudia Caywood conducted a Case Management inspection based on lead testing results received on the facility. LPAs Carbullido and Caywood toured the facility, took census and met with Assistant Director, Jennifer De Luna to further discuss lead results received and measures taken for remediation of lead exceedances. During the inspection, LPAs toured and obtained photos of the following water outlets identified with lead exceedances: Outlet C (7.1 ppb) which is located in school age class room 2. However, during the inspection it was discovered that outlet E per testing report and located in the school age play yard is the outlet with lead exceedance of (7.1 ppb), not Outlet C. Facility implemented the following plan of action until formal remediation for repair can be completed on water outlets: completely removed outlet C in school age class room 2, and outlet E was covered with signage for cessation of use . LPAs observed notification of lead results posted at the facility front lobby. Photos also obtained of additional source for access to water: Facility has access to additional water fountains/using water sports jugs for indoor/outdoor activity. Due to facility water outlets testing above approved lead levels, a deficiency has been cited. See LIC809D.
