LPA met with Director Frankie Zavala, who was informed of the reason for the visit and lead LPA Morris on a facility tour at 10:02 AM. Assembly Bill 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their drinking and cooking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2023, and then every 5 years after the date of the first lead testing. For childcare center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to written directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). LPA observed on the report provided by the SWRCB the faucet (A and B) both faucets are in Toddler classroom #1, also faucet (C) located in Toddler classroom #2. These three faucets have been identified as having high levels of lead. Director Zavala reports, the faucets are in our Toddler classrooms are only used for hand washing, we have posted signs, and all our staff is aware of the usage for all faucets on site at Grace Presbyterian Church Preschool, as we do not use any on-site drinking fountains for cooking or water consumption. Director Zavala reports, the center believed the faucet/sink area could still be used for hand washing, which is why signs were posted, and the sinks were only used for hand washing. Director Zavala reports, I now understand the faucets must be capped off and not in use for children at our center. Interviews with Director Zavala revealed the faucet (A, B, C) are used for hand washing only and were never used for cooking, drinking or water consumption. The facility is being cited. See LIC 809-D for the cited deficiency in accordance with the California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 12 written directives. An exit interview was conducted with Director Frankie Zavala. A copy of this report, appeal rights and a Notice of Site Visit was issued.

Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified.
