On 03/27/2026 at 9:15am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), R. Castanon and S. Jung conducted an announced Pre-Licensing inspection for a change of ownership. This is a single license conversion. Existing license number 304371212 will be consolidated with new facility number 304371780. Upon arrival, LPA met with Director Ayanthi Ratnayake. The applicant is requesting to be licensed for 98 preschool children ages 2-6 years old in Room 1, 2, 3 4 & 5. Hours of operation will be Monday-Friday 7:00am-6:00pm.

All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children was inspected today. LPA informed Director Ayanthi that staff are required to maintain direct visual supervision of the children at all times during indoor and outdoor activities. When medications are on site, they are located in a red backpack near the exit or entrance of every classroom. A fully equipped first aid kit is in the red backpacks as well. There is an operational carbon monoxide detector on site. LPA tested the carbon monoxide detector located in Room 1. All required licensing documents were observed posted at the facility entrance. Children will be signed in and out in the lobby.

Total indoor activity space on initial prelicensing report dated 07/24/2018 (304371212) measured 3,491 square feet, which is sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity of 98 children. Director Ayanthi confirmed there have not been any physical plant changes since the last prelicensing visit. LPA observed all indoor activity space to be complete with safe, age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, napping cots/mats, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. Drinking water is available in the classrooms via sink filter and water cups. The children also bring their own water bottles and refill them as needed. LPA observed all hazardous items to be inaccessible to children. There are no bodies of water or weapons on the property. Fire clearance was granted on 12/30/2025.

There are 8 sinks, 8 toilets and 2 urinals for children’s use. These are sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity of 98 children. There are two separate staff restrooms equipped with a toilet and a sink in each. The isolation area for children who are ill will be the Director’s office and one staff restroom.

FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. 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. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.

The facility currently has a fully fenced playground area. The cement walls are at least four feet high. The total square footage from report dated 07/24/2018 for the outdoor activity space is 7,360 square feet which is sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity. Shade is provided via large pergola structure and building overhang. There are sufficient outdoor age-appropriate toys and play equipment available on the playground. The play structure did not have a visible manufacturer sticker, but Director Ayanthi was able to show the manufacturer website description stating the structure is appropriate for ages 2-5 years old. There is adequate cushioning in fall zones of the play structure provided by rubber surfacing. Drinking water is available via children’s water bottles and large filtered water jug. LPA observed all hazardous items on the playground to be inaccessible to children. Director Ayanthi was reminded that any changes to the facility must be reported to and approved by Community Care Licensing.

Director Ayanthi was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1597.16. For child care 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 verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives (Interim Licensing Standards) outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP.
