On September 19, 2022, LPA (Licensing Program Analyst) Lauren Scott met with Director, Jill Hardin, for the purpose of a Case Management inspection related to elevated levels of lead in the water. The Regional Office was notified of the elevated levels of lead in the facility's water. While at the facility, LPA received a physical sketch of the facility with the faucet labels. LPA checked the faucet area where the exceedance occurred. This faucet is located in an area of the church property and not part of the licensed daycare facility. This area is an off limits area to children in care. Children have no access to this area. Director gave LPA copy of the lead testing report that showed no other exceedances within the facility. Due to the location and usage of the faucet, LPA determined there was no risk. Therefore, no citations will be issued at this time. An exit interview was conducted and the report was reviewed with director, Jill Hardin, Licensee Appeal Rights were provided. A Notice of Site visit 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.
