On 9/04/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Anna Chan conducted case management visit. Upon arrival, the LPA met with Director Taryn Stephens. LPA was led on walk through of the facility and a census was taken. LPA observed 48 preschool children and 4 staff. Children were napping when LPA arrived

While LPA was touring the facility, it was discovered that 1 preschool classroom has 16 children (2 awake and both went to the bathroom and 14 children napping) with only 1 staff. LPA reminded the director that there should be another teacher readily available to be in ratio. No teacher was available right away to cover for ratio.

Based on observation the following deficiency was discussed and cited. The facility was not in compliance with the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Section 101230(c) Please refer to LIC809D for details of deficiency.



Director was provided with a copy of California Code of Regulation Title 22 Div 12, Section 101216.3 Teacher-Child Ratio and 101230 Activities.
