Upon arrival, they met with Site Manager Lori Wiedensohler, who was informed of the purpose of the visit. The visit was related to Assembly Bill 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, which mandates that all licensed Child Care Centers constructed before January 1, 2010, must test their drinking and cooking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter. According to the Site Manager, the center opted to test all sinks ahead of schedule in preparation for adding Room 8 to the license. LPA reviewed the report provided by SWRCB and noted that multiple sinks and faucets in Rooms 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, and 16 were identified as having elevated lead levels. However, documentation did not clearly identify sinks labeled JJ, MM, II, YY, HH, and GG. Site Manager Lori Wiedensohler stated that the affected faucets had been taken out of service. LPM observed a bag placed near the sink in Room 8, which is not currently in use, indicating it had been tested. At the time of the visit, A-Tech Consulting was on site conducting re-testing. The faucets and sinks were no longer in service for drinking purposes. Interviews with staff confirmed that bottled water is used for drinking and for children’s tooth brushing routines. LPA and LPM observed water dispensers in each classroom and cases of single-use Sparkletts water bottles available when larger bottles are depleted. Additionally, the Site Manager confirmed that water is not used for food preparation, as meals are delivered by the school district. Although the playground water fountains are filtered, they must also be tested if the facility intends to use NAME OF LICENSING PROGRAM MANAGER: Pauline Beschorner NAME OF LICENSING PROGRAM ANALYST: Sandra Pulido LICENSING PROGRAM ANALYST SIGNATURE: DATE: 09/16/2025 I acknowledge receipt of this form and understand my licensing appeal rights as explained and received.

Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies: Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care. Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care. PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections.
